lative district, embracing seven
wards of Baltimore city, on Monday
over George w. Cameron, his Re
publican opponent, receiving 9,706
votes to 6,S13 cast for Mr.. Cameron
The latter carried only one ward in
the district, the Thirteenth, in which
he lives.
The vote in the district was disap
pointingly small. Neither party ex-
pected large turnout. their esti.
mate being about $4,000. The total
vote in the district approximates
10000, and of these only 1858
took the trouble to vote.
Mr.. Biggs' election will give the

majority of three over the Republi-
cans. He was elected to the seal

Francis j. Drum, President OF the
Federation Of Labor of Maryland and
the District Of Columbia, has issued
statement in which he expressed
the hope that the first act OF the
MARYLAND legislature, about to con-
yene, will be to ratify the Federai
Suffrage Amendment enfranchis1ng
women.
President Drums statement, in
which he declares it would be an
honor for the legislators Of Mary
land to vote for this measure, read IN
full:
81 am in favor of the National
Suffrage Amendment, referred to the
states, giving the right to vote to
women; and it would be a great
honor to the Members of the Mary
land Legislature if, after its organi-
cation, it would pass Amendment
granting the right to vote to the
women of this country.
SIT seems to me that class
amongst us who are taxed without
representation and who toll for an
existence, and have no voice in the
making of laws under which they
work and live is unjust. The way to
remedy such condition is to grant
them the right to vote.
II hope that the first act of the
Maryland legislature, after it con-
venes, will be to grant this right"

MEMBMssHIP ROLL


IN New Years day 1872, num-
Der Of representative farmers of the
Sixth, Seventh, and Ninth Districts
Of Cecil County, Maryland, assem-
bled at the home of Joseph w.
Reynolds, near Port Deposit, ON
the farm more recently known as
Cecil Manor, and organized The
Cecil Farmers Club.
The charter members who we're
present ON that occasion were DR.. r.
q. Bromwell. s. r. Carson, Thomas
III. Patten, Joseph w. Reynolds, F.
NJ. Rawlings, of the Seventh Dis
trict; James M. Evans, H. H. Duy-
ckinck, John s. Ewing, George Gill
lespie, T. B. Gillespie, w. E. Giles
pie, A. r. Magraw, w. w. Moore.
John w. Mount, of the Sixth Dis
trict; +. i. vanarsdale, of the Ninth
District.
II. H. Duyckinck was elected
President and T. B. Gillespie Re-
cording Secretary. A constitution
and bylaws were adopted and have
governed the organization with very
little alteration, if any, as they ap
pear elsewhere in this pamphlet.
The membership is at all times
limited to eighteen active members.
Each new member must receive the
unanimous vote of all the members
present, on the first ballot. Thus
harmonious and united working
force is always assured. No election
can be made with less than twelve
present.
The Club has maintained an
active career since its organization
for nearly half century. While
there have been many changes in its
personnel, its membership have been
wide awake, progressive men. at all
times interested in the cultivation of
the soil, but above all interested in
the upbuilding of agriculture. They
have been pioneers in many Of the
progressive movements for the de-
velopment Of the County and State.
Among these for which we claim
credit is, the County Treasurer's
Office, -versus the District Tax col
lection system; The Cecil County
Fair; the first rural free delivery
system in the county; the organizing
and establishing of the Cecil Farm
ers Telephone Company; procured a
legislative act, for. permanent road
improvement in the county; by invi-
tation committee of the Club con-
ferred with Governor A. l.. Crothers
and assisted in planning the State
Good Roads movement, which re-
suited in the passage of State Road
Law, that has proved blessing to
the State, placing her in the fore
front of the nation in road improve
ment and of nationwide fame, the
work of our late lamented Governor
Crothers.
OF the charter members, Thomas
Hugh Patten, of Port Deposit, is in
1919, the only survivor.
The total enrolment to date, as
printed elsewhere, is seventy-eight.
Forty-seven of these have paid the
debt of Nature, and fifteen have re-
signed or becomes Honorary members.
The Club has always kept full
record of all proceedings, but owing
to destructive food in the Octoraro
in 1884, the books of the then secre-
tary, John w. Mccullough, were de-
stroyed, SO that all records to that
date were lost, except such as were
held by other officers.

ALEDO GAINS IN
COUNT INSTEAD
OF LOSING OUT

Through a misunderstanding by
The Argus representative, the pop
ulation Of Aledo, as given in yes
terday's issue Of The Argus, showed
this city as losing considerably in
the population in the last ten years.
Instead Of losing a gain of 81 has
been made by this city. The popu-
lation as given by the Bureau Of
Census in Washington, for 1920,
shows Aledo to have 1921 persons.
The 1910 census showed 2,144, in
stead Of 2,4S0 as was stated in yes
terday's article. The attention of
The Argus representative was
brought to this matter by promin-
ent citizen of the city, who stated
that he thought Aledo should be
given credit for what little gain in
population it has had.
