To The Republican. Voters
OF Dorchester County:

I have this day filed with the
Board of Election Supervisors, the
necessary papers, making me elig1-
BILE as candidate to be voted for,
for the office of State Senator, on the
Republican ticket, in the forthcom-
ing primary election. Wisely Or un-,
wisely, we are now working in Mary
land under the Direct Primary sys-
tenn of voting. l, therefore, do not
propose to accept as final the opposi-
tion of a few men to my candidacy,
but to submit the matter to all of
the qualified Republican voters in
Dorchester county, and let them de-
eide whether l am, Or am not, the
proper man to nominate for the State
Senate. I have not, thus far, made
thorough canvass of the county, in
order to get tn sentiment of the
voters for this very important Office.
but have interviewed enough men in
the various districts to warrant the
above action, and I now make an
appeal to the Republican voters for
their support. I desire to state fur
ther that 1 am not bound by any
factional alliance, but, that If nomi-
mated and elected, would be entirely
free to act in the interest of the.
whole people, which I would surely
do to the extent of my ability. feel
that my qualifications for the ofics
are such that I could represent Dor
chester county 8eceptably. and if
elected, would put foFth~every eff
fort to reflect credit upon the Repub-
lican party.
Republicans. rest my case in
your hands, and shall approach the
primaries with con6deSce IN your
good wills
I remain, yours very sincerely,

BELGRADE, Oct. Is. - For the

years.

campaign against acceptance of the

TT has been a wonderful trip. I.
have ever had an abiding confidence
in the people. ! have never doubted
that upon a moral or a patriotic issue
the great mass of our people are al
ways right when they understand.
Upon an important question the only
problem is to see that the facts are
presented and the issue made plain.
Speaking generally. the monopolizerS
Nof publicity have been for the league
of nations. The vocal and Vociferous,
those who most court the limelight
and seek approval by vehement ex-
pressions of an obvious generality,
have been its advocates.
Until the last few months the
ordinary citizen has accepted without
question and without knowledge of
the document itself, the oft-repeated
assertions of those who publicly en-
bGdCeu the league De1OFe us contents
were known. When the sinister pur-
poses of the instrument were dis
closed it became necessary, whatever
labor and effort were required, to
bring home to the people the facts.
This has measurably been done.
Everywhere there has been the same
response. The west has differed not
at all from the east, Just common
folks--the backbone of America
the men and women of the great in
articulate mass who compose our
citizenship and make our country
great, with knowledge of the perils
and the dangers of the present league,
have in no uncertain tones repudiated
it.
after all, the people are Ameri-
can, not selfishly so, but truly Ameri-
can, wishing to live their lives and
work out their destiny as Americans
under American command and Amer
lean control.
They will ever perform their duty
to humanity and civilization, but they
will do this in their own time and as
they shall decree. not under the di-
rection or control of foreign nations.

way back he came upon a German
machine gun nest, manned by eight
Germans. Just who was the most sur

quickest with the gun and drew his
automatic and put the machine gun
out of commission in a second and
then killed two Germans nearest the

so scared by this time that their

back as prisoners. That was doing
