More Votes For Baltimore.

Increased representation for Baltimore
city in the Legislature was demanded by
George Weems Williams, in making brief
summary Of the more important campaign
issues Tuesday. upon his return from At
lantic City.
In his speeches. he will elaborate his
views as to increased representation and
other subjects touched upon in the sum-
mary given out, including schools. public
health. increased water supply. harbor i'm
provements. encouragement of msnufac-
turing and business interests and handling
Of street and garbage collecting.
Upon the question Of increased repre-
sentation in the Legislature. Mr.. Williams
will have much to say during the cam
paign, his friends say. He thinks that
the addition Of large area and a great
population to the city. under the Annexa-
ton act, makes an increase in the city's
representation imperative as a matter of
simple justice TO those who have been
brought within the city's borders. But
beyond that he is said to feel that the
city. as Of right, should have a greater
and stronger voice at Annapolis. He feels.
1t is said. that il was the lack Of voice
and power. in proportion to its population
and importance, which made the city i'm
potent to register its convictions effectu-
ally in the fight over the ratification of
the prohibition amendment and in other
matters. relating to the habits and Gus
toms Of the people.
