TO ORGANIZE
WOMEN'S LEAGUE
OF VOTERS HERE


Tonight's meeting for women at the
State House promises to be of more
than usual interest from the fact that
both political parties will have repre-
sentatives to speak from the same
platform, each outlining the planks in
their respective platforms. something
that has never occurred here before in
any political campaign.
The meeting will be held at the old
Senate Chamber at the State House
and will be presided over by Mrs.
Charles E. Ellicott, president of the
Woman's Suffrage League of Mary
land Governor Albert c. Richie will
speak
The Governor will not make set
political speech, but his remarks will
take the form of an address of well
come to the women voters of Anna
polls and Anne Arundel county.
The program will be interspersed
with musical selections by a few
pieces of the Naval Academy orches-
ira, engaged for the occasion.
The Democratic platform will be
outlined in an address by Ridgely P.

DAUGHTERS ISABELLA
HAVE MASQUERADE

Surprising themselves the Daugh-
ters Of Isabella of St Mary's Parish
gave highly pleasing and very en-
joyable masquerade party last night
in st. Mary's Hall.
The party took the nature of a sur
-pound-masquerade. Every wom-
an took a pound OF something in the
way of refreshments" and every
woman was in costume and masked
Nobody knew anybody and there were
Sis Hopkinses, Mary Pickfords, Danes
OF 1880, and even Santa Claus whose
jollity spread fun and whose laugh
ter was contagious.
There were sedate ladies of the
Revolutionary days, and there were
comic characters of all kinds and de-
scriptiens who exuded comicality
from every side. Indeed there was
so MUCH fun that the Daughters
laughed and laughed until their sides
ached.
The party opened with a grand
march, two by two, and it was the
most quiet gathering of women ever
assembled in Annapolis. Nobody
spoke word, for fear of disclosing
her identity. Everything was in the
sign language and to an on-looker
(but there were none) it would have
appeared that the aggregation was
that of deaf mutes.
Games of all kinds were played in
silence, but when the time did come
for unmasking, many surprises were
sprung. Women and girls who had
not recognized their best friend. fell
into each others arms, $50 surprised
that they had not guessed who was
who.
Then there was a spread of the
many pounds broughht by the mask
ers. and the close of the evening was
thoroughly informal and very delight
full. The Daughters of Isabella, who
are doing an excellent work in the
parish and out of it, believe that all
work and no play, makes anybody
dull, inject these entertainments oc-
casionally into their regular regime,
last nights proving the most novel
and successful of all predecessors.

Annapolitans Downed Bows

CATLIN HURLED WELL

A large crowd Of local baseball
fans turned out to see the final game
of the series between the Annapolis
All-Star Baseball Team and the East
port Athletic Club, on Saturday on
the Eastport grounds. which was won
by the All-Stars by a score of to 6.
A portion of the Naval Academy
band furnished music during the
three-game series. the first game
which was played on Labor Day re-
suited in to victory for the ALI
Stars; the second game played last
Saturday was won by the Eastporters
by score of 4 to 2; giving the ALI
Stars the series.
Both teams played excellent ball,
work in the infield being of excep-
tionally high order. Due to the in
tense rivalry between the clubs, Cat
Stars and Murphy, of the Eastporters,
who beat the All-Stars the week pre-
vious. started the game: Murphy be-
ing relieved by Boettcher in the sixth
inning. All three pitchers were
touched up rather. lively, but Catlin
had the edge on his opponents. al
though sharp Unfolding by Freeman,
Crosby and Brewer at critical mo-
ments in the game, helped greatly in
the victory.
Engleke's and Murphy's home runs
featured FOR the Eastporters; while
Catlin's thrso-bagger in the seventh,
with two on bases featured for the
All-Stars.
Both of these teams have had a re-
markably successful season, having
debated some of the best teams in
the State. The All-Stars will wind up
their season on Saturday with game

A bill carrying provisions for af-
fording additional facilities for women
to register and vote at the municipal
elections in Annapolis, made its APP
pearance in the House of Delegates
today. at the second meeting Of the
General Assembly which was con-
vened in extraordinary session last
night.
The bill in question was offered by
Delegate w. Meade Holiday Of the
Anne Arundel delegation, and was
drawn entirely to overcome local
condition existing in regard to city
elections here, as compared with other
cities of the State. The main pro-
vision of the bill is to fix three ad-
ditional registration days for the city
election apart from those under the
present law. The situation is that
the law governing city elections. and
the registration therefore, comes un-
der a different classification OF other
election laws. hence the bill of Dele
gate Holiday.
Many Bills In House shopper
A large number OF bills were intro
duced in the House in course OF to-
days session. in addition 10 those Of
fered last night, in spite OF the earn
est plea made by Governor Ritchie To
the effect that the State solons con-
fine their activities solely to the pur-
poses for which the special session
of the Assembly was called-that OF
enacting legislation to remove all bar
riers to women voting" at the coming
Presidential election. In other words
to provide the proper legislation for
the registration OF the women who
were enfranchised by the ratification
of the National Suffrage amendment.
But the appearante of so many bills.
tends TO indicate that the House is
prepared to make. fight by the ,in-
PRODUCTION of bills foreign to the OBJ
jects of the extraordinary session. The
move has been precipated entirely by
Republicans. Not only have num-
ber OF minor local election bills af-

are pertinent cannot be denied. As a
worker in the most essential OF all
production-the farm
er is rightfully deserving of as much
consideration as other workers. The
fact that his hitherto sluggish mind is
now beginning to work along the line
of inquiry is hopeful sign. Of course
there is no hope for him until the agrl-
cultural industry is socialized through
the common ownership of land. and he
can solve the problem whenever he
wants to. Socialism will do the job.
This man Palmer, who by some
quirk of the fates was made Attorney
General of the United States, cannot
be considered other than an unmiti-
gated ass-or, perhaps, he is just plain
''nuts". At regular intervals he an
nounces the discovery of a plot to
murder prominent federal officials or
start revolution or something. Until
lately the public awaited with bated
breath the fulfillment of his dire
prophecies. No person with a modicum
of brains now pays the slightest at
tcntion to his maunderings. Even the
capitalist press poke fun at his state
ments. And this mental lightweight
seriously sought to be candidate for
President He belongs in a sanitarium.
1t seems that editorial writers Of
the daily press have become so harden
cd to outraging truth that they have
lost all sense Of shame. For persistent
lying never in all history has their
moral obliquity been equaled. There is
an Intellectual prostitute on the edi-
torial staff of the Cleveland Press who
lis entitled to decorations for shameless
and brazen perversion of the truth.
In a late issue of that exponent of
bourgeois hypocrisy the attention of it's
readers is called to the fact that tho
Soviet Government of Russia has an
army of 1000. 900 men Notwithstanding
its donunciation of militarism, and that
the evident intend is to use this army
in forcing contiguous European nations
to adopt the Soviet form of govern
inert. The writer knows we'll that the
Soviet Government was forced to raise
this army to protect itself from the
counter revolutionists, who were aided
in every possible way by the Allies.
This information is common property
among enlightened people. Then why,
you ask, does this paper persist in dis
seminating such glaring falsehoods1
The answer is easy. 1t knows that the
majority of its readers are boneheads
who have never sought the truth. and
that if few did make this unusual
mental effort they forgot all about
it in a few hours. If the workers can
be induced to cultivate their mental
faculties to the degree that they will
be able to remember the happenings Of
months instead of hours the lying
propaganda of the bourgeois press will
fall of its own weight.
