Negro Polls Heavy Vote In Mary
land.

From the Washington Times. Sept. TO-
A colored man. in Mondays primaries
in Prince Georges county, Md, polled a
surprisingly large vote as Republican
candidate for county commissioner. but
was defeated by small plurality by two
white candidates.
This would ordinarily be Of no interest.
but is now claimed to be significant as re-
gardine the purpose Of the coIored voters
In that county and other Southern Mary
land counties, where the negro vote con-
trolls things for the Republican party. TO
obtain hereafter recognition from the white
Republicans who hold all the offices to be
had. and have never divided with the
colored voter who furnishes the largest
part Of the party strength In all these
counties.
This ambitious colored candidate was
John d. Brodus He made a sharp cam
paign for the nomination as county com
missioner, getting out an imitation Of a
primary ballot on which was printed his
name and that Of four other colored can
didates as delegates to the Republican
State convention. Their convention dele
oates we're nominated without objection.
CONTROL THE PARTY.
Here was one Of the appeals Of Brodus
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1919-09-19

"0ur votes control the Republican party
Without us they are lost. See if our whit,
friends we fought alongside of will hell
our ticket. Next time we will have more
pull with our Congressman"
Brodus told the colored voters everywhere
that the negro soldiers had fought for the
country; that for years. colored men have
consistently voted the Republican tickets
in all the counties of the Fifth Maryland
Congressional district without scratching
and that they have never gotten anything
for their loyalty.
The Republicans were embarrassed by
Brodus candidacy, and charged that he
was influenced to enter the race and make
the campaign by Democrats of Prince
Georges. who believed that it would make
trouble for the Republicans. Brodus denied
this He declared he made his fight on
principles. and will continue to preach the
doctrine, in that county and elsewhere in
the Fifth district. that the negro voter must
have recognition within his party, or will
demand an accounting as to why he is
expected to furnish the votes and get moth
ing for his fidelity and loyalty.
AS their candidates for two Commissioners,
the Republicans nominated in the prima-
ries two white men. William H. Duvall and
George N. Wells. Brodus beat each of
these men in his home district. although
he is said to have been beaten in the
county generally by about 200 votes.
SAY FIGHT Nor SIGNIFICANT.
Both Republican and Democratic leaders
at Upper Marlboro. where the vote is be.
ing counted today, said they did not be-
lieve that Brodus campaign has any per-
manent Significance, or will be followed
in the future by similar action on the part
of other ambitious colored men, They
admitted that it was generally reported
that good many colored leaders are talk
ing more independently than they have
ever done before.
The Democratic county leaders say 1t
will all amount to nothing, inasmuch as
the colored voter stands by the Republican
party regardless of his treatment. and is
pretty well aware that he can expect no
recognition in division Of spoils II he goes
over to the Democrats. who would likewise
make use Of him on election days only.
Still, the county leaders think the doc
trines set up by Btodus will bear watching.
to see how far his views are followed in
the future by voters of his own race.
ONLY CoLoRED CANDIDATE.
Brodus is the only colored man who has
been candidate for county Office in the
primaries within the recollection of county
political leaders, and they express surprise
today that he polled so many votes. They
believe he would have been nominated
but for reports that he had been put up"
to becoming a candidate by Democratic
leaders.

STATE OFFERS HIGH-GRADE Stock AT CosT
FALL PLANTING SEASON Now AT HAND.
State Forester F. W. Besley announces
that orders are being received for stock

there are numerous inquiries from all parts
of the State regarding the high grade stock
at bottom prices which the Board OF For

maintains constant and uniform standard

to the planter and each season thoroughly
drains the nursery at an early date Of all
the stock which can be made available.
Mr.. Besley's advice to ''order early" is
therefore timely and necessary.

Republican Subtle Influences At
Work To Create Dissension
In Democratic Ranks.

To My Fellow Democrats of Montgomery
County;
There are times in mans life when all
the highest sentiments of appreciation and
gratitude arise within him and choke off
all bitterness of feeling that might have
arisen in times of excitement. or the fac
tional strife Of political primary. 1t is
in such condition that find myself to-
day. and, while glory in the magnificent
vote by which received the Democratic
nomination for the County Commissioner
ship from the 4th District at the hands of
the Democratic voters of Montgomery
county, must pause to say one word in
behalf of the magnificent manner and
manly way in which my worthy opponents
conducted themselves throughout the cam
paien. Messrs. Edward P. Beall. W. YER
non Beall and Joseph F. Whalen are all
men who have good standing in our COM
munity, are ardent and sincere Democrats
and made clean fight for the position
they sought. And as stated in my re-
cent letter to the Democracy of our county
that would support any one of them
should he succeed in obtaining the nomi-
nation, so do l firmly believe that they
and all other loyal Democrats will rise as
a unit and bring victory to our party in
the general election.
So too with the State Senatorial primary
contest, for have known both the Cum
mings and Waters families for years.
have seen them both in victory and de-
feat, but they were always Democrats, and
after the heat and glamour of battle had
worn away would rise to the occasion and
support the successful nominee with all
the vigor that was in them. Andrew j.
Cummings and Bowie F. Waters are gen.
tlemen of the highest type. Men who can
be trusted. Either one of them could and
would represent our county at Annapolis
with honor to old Montgomery and the
pride of his constituents behind him to
man.
The ticket we have nominated is strong
one all along the line, from the top to the
bottom, and what have said Of the head
of the ticket equally should apply to all
other offices. The subtle influences which
are working out evidently from the Repub-
lican camp to try and cause dissension in
the ranks of Democracy should be put
down. as it will be, in the minds of all
loyal Democrats. and although all of those
for whom voted we're not successful in
the primary, will vote for and support the
ticket.
Those who voted for me Isincerely thank,
and those who voted for my opponents
admire for the frankness with which they
supported the choice of their convictions
and hope and believe that they will sup
port the Democratic ticket to a man in
the general election.
To the Democracy of the county as
whole | extend my personal thanks and
appreciation from the bottom of my heart,
and when the golden corn harvest is gath
cred, which now stands a verdant green
upon our fertile fields. may the sun shine
upon united and victorious Democracy on
the 4th of November
Very sincerely yours.

TELEPHONE CUT.OyER

On Saturday, November 18th, sub
scribers to exchange service in Man
chester, were changed from numerical
ringing to alphabetical ringing, that
is all subscribers to two, four or six
party service have letter designation
following their line number instead Of
a numerical one. At the same time
new directories were mailed to all sub
scribers in the exchange, and every
subscriber is requested to consult the
new directory when passing call to
another subscriber within the ex-
change, and not call from memory or
from any special list they may have.
By doing this there will be no delay
in calls, whereby il wrong numbers
are given it will be necessary to refer
such calls to the Information desk and
delay will result in reaching the party
called.
At the same time all subscribers to
two, four and six party service were
cut-over to divided ringing. Hereaf
ter subscriber TO two party service
will hear only his own bell ring, sub
scribers to four party service will hear
his own ring and one other, subscrib-
ers to six party service will hear his
own ring and that of two other sub
scribers on the line.
Another innovation will be the in
PRODUCTION Of the "audible ringing
tone" Hereafter when subscriber in
the Manchester exchange makes call
to another subscriber in that exchange
a buzzing tone will be heard, which
will be proof that the line is being
rung. The subscriber making the call
will not hear the actual ringing Of the
bell, which may be miles away from
his telephone, but he will get an in
duction sound which is created by an
ingenius device which has as yet been
installed in but few exchanges out
side Of the larger cities.
