 At present the state of California is building a concrete road to connect Yuma with San Diego by way of Holt vile, Fl Centro and DiXieland. Over this trunk line are routed several trans continental highway associations, in cluding the Bankhead, Dixie Overland and the Ocean to- Ocean. From Holt vile to Yuma the concrete road will be built through sand dunes. The pro posal as outlined by Mir Burke is to have a diversion at Fl Centro, giving the traveller east the preference of the two routes, either by way of Holtvfne or by way of Niland. If the latter be chosen the traveller would traverse the best part of the Imperial valley north to Niland, thence over the proposed road to and through the Palo Verde valley, to Blythe, thence to Phoenix and the Salt River valley, thus breaking the monotony of desert travel and per hitting the traveller to pass through three of the best reclaimed districts Iii the world, with a choice of roads east

 All southern transcontinentaI lines at present are routed through Phoenix passing out of the state at Yuma in contemplation of the coming of the California concrete road from Holt ville Therefore, as explained, the plan of connecting the Phoenix, Blythe and Los Angeles highway with Niland and the Imperial valley would be adding only another vast possibility in roads and advancement to the Salt River val ley. It would link three great re- claimed areas although the route through Yuma would also link three great reclaimed areas, with the bridge at Yuma as an additional inducemenL-

ASK BIDS ID BUILD HIGHWAY THROUGH
 WALLS IF GRANITE

In an effort to rush construction on the Superior Miami highway, the Ari- zona state highway department is ad- Vertising for bids for the first part of the road to be let by contract This is to supplement the work from the state prison camp located two miles above Superior and another camp or state forces located one and onehalr miles above in Queen Creek canyon. The section advertised for contract is three miles in length, and will start ac the end of the present good road out of Miami.
 The letting of this contract is in accordance with the desires of the Gifa county board of supervisors as well as the state engineer, who stated yes terday that over 75 per cent of the highway work throughout the state was being done under contract
 Division Engineer F. G. Twitchell, with his crews of prison labor now totalling approximately 100 men, Is bending every effort to close the gap Bone, in charge of the camp above. This gap at present is impossible to travel of any kind, save burros. The char acter of the country is the toughest ever attempted to be traversed by a highway in Arizona Tunnelling will be resorted to in overcoming solid walls of granite which rise abruptly hun drcds of feet in height
 This road has been regarded as the most important highway ever under taken in this state. The last legisla- ture made a special appropriation of $100,000 to aid construction. The total cost will probably run around S750, 000. When completed the new road VIII provide a valuable asset fr that it will connect one of the largest and most important mining districts in the state with the Salt River and Casa Grands valleys by a direct route in which no grades exceed six per cent. The new road will undoubtedly carry heavy truck travel as the present rail faciI- ities require that farm products from Phoenix and nearby points be sent by Maricopa, Tucson, Bowie, Stafford and Globe, a circuitous route equal fin length to the width of the state.
 As to highway travel; the new road will reduce the mileage from Phoenix to Miami by 25 miles, and automobiles will be able to make the run in three and one half hours which now requires an all-day trip over the Apache Trail

Working always towards better tires, the United States Rubber Company OUercane base SeparatiOn by efecting a cherni- cal union between the steel and the rubber-the first time such a thing had ever been done.
 Just as the first time any radical change was ever made in passenger car tire designing was when the United States Rubber Company introduced the straight side automobile tire.
 It is not enough to create better tires. They must be accompanied by better fire service.

ocratic or Republican, done as much?
Business Man VS.. Politicians.
Business men are needed in Con-
gress. While Robertson has taken
a degree in law, he is not a lawyer,
but a business man. 1t was because
of his success as business man that
his employees at the White Haven
ship yards and the people in the sur
rounding country who had business
dealings with him, when ne wa
building ships for the Government,
urged him to run for Congress.
When business man, who is a large
employer, so far wins the esteem OF
his employees and those with whom
he deals~that they urge him TO take
hand in the business of Govern
ment, a more sincere endorsement is
hardly needed
Reasons Should Be Weighed.
Other Reasons:
Ii these are not sufficient reasons
to Justify you in marking your bal

self before you vote if there are as
valid reasons why you should not do
So

the series of advertisements DURING
the past six weeks in this newspaper
in which the Robertson for Congress

The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1920-04-30


The man you send to Congress is
going to do his share, cast his, vote,
use his influence, for or against the
Federal laws III accordance with the
way you express your wishes at thu
polls on Monday.
AS to the Republican candidates for
Congress we have nothing to say y
this time. superintendent G. Y
Crabbe, of the Anti-Saloon League
(of whom we will say word in a
moment) already has publicly endor-
sed the present Republican incum-
bent. We are content to let the Re
publicans be led by the Anti-Salool
League.
At the Democratic Primaries, how
ever, you will have two candidates
asking for the honor of being the
party candidate in the Novembe
election for Congress.
Republican Plot?
The Robertson for Congress Lea
que, which through the past six
weeks in this paper has been telling
you something about one of the Dem
ocratic candidates, now asks you
carefully to consider the reasons why
you should mark your x after the
name of HI. w. Robertson on the
official ballot.
First Reason:
Robertson's candidacy has been
made the occasion or excuse for an
attack upon him and the Democratic
Party of the Eastern Shore by the|
Superintendent of the Anti-SaloorI
League of Maryland. Let us try
coolly and dispassiohately, to see|
just what this means.
First of all, who is Crabbe? Lin
iting ourselves entirely TO a consid
GRAFTON of his public life we find that
Mr.. Crabbe is the salaried agent of
national organization, sent by that
organization into Maryland to scrve
its purpose. Tle came to this StateI
from Ohio where he was a Republi-|
can in politics. He is said by those|
who know him personally not to|
have much esteem for Democrats
particularly Southern Democrats
Perhaps that has something to dol
with his advice to Eastern Shore
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1920-04-30

Democrats to vote for the Republic.
IAN Congressman.
Foreign Agent VS.. Local Man.
Mr.. Crabbe, foreigner so far as
he Eastern Shore is concerned, is
Kent down here as the paid agent of
his organization to attack a man
whose home has been here all his
life and whose business has brought
Juch prosperity to hundreds in the
counties around his home that they
have urged him into the race for
Congress.
Why does Mr.. Crabbe and his or
sanization attack Mr.. Robertson?
Simply because Mr.. Robertson, per-
,onally a dry man, came out like an
American man and publicly answered
the voters questions as to how he
stood on the Volstead Act. Mr..
Crabbe would have the Eastern
Shore represented by Republican
in Congress for the sole reason, ac-
cording to his own statement, that
hat Republican has stood against
any modification of the terms of the
act
Robertson has told you just whal
he means by modification of the Vol
'tead Act. Will you vote for him OF
Crabbe?
Only Candid Candidate.
Second Reason:
Robertson is the only Democratic
'andidate for the Congressional nom
nation who has laid his cards on the
able before you, Mr.. Voter. You
have been told through this news
paper in advertising space, paid for
~ men who know Robertson and mis-
ability, just who he is, what he looks
ike, What he has done, how he views
national problems and how we'll he
understands the needs of his neigh
bors of the First District.
He has not left it to the organiza-
ton, the anti-organization or any
factional leaders to deliver" your
votes. He took you into his conf
dence from the very day he announ-
ced his candidacy early in March. He
has used his funds, and the funds of
those friends who knew him and vol

MIR. ROBERTSON HAS HIS SAY.

saw today: 81 notice by the letters
sent throughout the Eastern Shore
that G. w. Crabbe, superintendent of
the Anti-saloon League, has asked
the Democratic voters to defeat me
for Congress at the primaries; and,
in the same letters, congratulates the
neople of the Eastern Shore on the
dry record of the present Republican
Congressman.
II met Mr.. Crabbe in the presence
Of other gentlemen on the train last
Friday, going to Baltimore, and he
asked me how much beer / was going
to let the people of the Eastern
shore have if l were elected. / told
him they could have as much as they
wanted-that is up to them, l was
not their keeper even though he pre-
ferred to be their guardian. may
add if the people of the Eastern
shore send me to Congress, will
represent them.
"Mr. Crabbe has made the issue
clear; namely, government by the
Anti-saloon League or government
by the people.
81 will be controlled by the seati-
ment of the Eastern Shore if I am
successful in the nomination and
election.
s.In the letters that the Anti-sa-
loon League have sent out, they have
endeayored to humiliate several
members from the Eastern Shore
counties from their vote IN the last
legislature.
at seems that Mr.. Crabbe has been
well trained in the former method
used by the Anderson regime 1t
took our mutual good friend, the
Hon. Jesse D. Price, of Wicomicoi
Co., to put to rout VIM. H. Anderson
and his system after that memorabe|
occasion in Salisbury some years
ago; and now I ask that the voters
of the Eastern Shore put their stamp
of disapproval on the present meth
DDS on May Sd.
Yours truly,
