HANGS HAT UNDER

He hung his hat on a hook in the
long row which extends the entire
length OF the white tiled restaurant

was directly above a cardboard sign:
Watch Your Hat" A large black
arrow ON the sign points upward to-
ward the row of hooks. and il was
pointing directly then at the specula-
tive mans hat

seems to point ont my hat especially
as an object lesson in well-matched
hats so that other lunchers may

GOV. RITCF1LE'S ADDRESS
AT COMMITTEE MEETING

Al the recent meeting OF the Demo-
cratic State Central Committee OF
Maryland. held in Baltimore. Cover
nor Richie delivered an address in
course OF which he recounted the
party's achievements in the past, and
called for a united front throughout
the State in view OF the approaching
fall campaign when candidates for
State Comptroller. State Senator's.
members of the House of Delegates,
and other candidates are 10 be Eomi-
mated
The address OF the Governor. in
part. follows:
IF the Democratic party would win
this fall-and take IL for granted
that We all want that. because we are
all Democratic. believing that Demo
cratic principles and ideals are best
for the State-then two things are
necessary First. We must offer the
people a constructive program. and
next. We must perfect the machinery
OF our party organization.
Both in this State and in the Ma
ton our party has every reason for
confidence We were defeated last
fall. but We were defeated only be-
cause. after the most constructive and
progressive four years a National Ad-
ministration has ever given the peo-
pie. all the prejudices. all the dis
likes. all the animosities. all the
grudges which the war engendered in
many groups of the people, were com
bined against US.
Now we see a Republican Admins
tration which not only finds that IL
cannot satisfy its campaign assur-
ances TO these various groups, or their
expectations. but which has made lit
tie progress in satisfying the crying
need and demand OF the country for
lower taxes. For after nearly five
months OF Republican rule. we see
the Republican party actually divided
as to whether the tariff or taxation
should come first. with nothing done
about either.
we have the right to expect our
United States Senators 10 fight for
the interests OF Maryland. Particularly
have we the right in the case of Sena-
tor Weller when il comes TO our mag
nificent road system, because it was
his work as Chairman OF the State
Roads Commission that laid the
foundation for his political success
We have recently seen the National
Administration backing a Federal-aid
highway law which would take from
Maryland a proper voice in the selec-
ton and width of our Federal aid
roads. and which aims at the con-
struction of interstate roads only, re-
gardless of the excellent system we
already have. Senator Weller must
know that that law is not in this
states interest. that it would really
penalize US for the progress in road
building we have made
Yet not once has he spoken out
for Maryland's interests in this mat
ter He has stood by without one
word of aid to those who are fighting
for our roads. wy

II there ever was need for the law 10
take its course promptly. and for the
guilty TO be punished. this was that
case.
no reasons whatever have been
advanced by the Department of JUS
tice for this delay, nothing has been
told US TO raise doubt as TO the mans
guilt. and We cannot help but feel
alarm at the suggestion which has
been made that the delay is Influenced
by consideration for large class OF
people who are always allied with the
Republican party
We recognize that an increasing
number OF me nand women do not
vote the Democratic ticket just be-
cause those on ii are Democrats. We
know that our party must offer the
people a reason why they should vote
the Democratic ticket rather than the
Republican

plans to reorganize the State Govern
ment in the interest of greater eff
cheney, and along lines which, with
reduced elections. will mean an mi
tial saving to the taxpayers of at least
$500, 900 year
In a word. the Democratic party is
justifying itself as party. It is al
work in an honest effort to give the
| people the best there is in govern
ment And the Republicans have Sc
far offered the people nothing at all
They have not even attempted any
thing, except partisan criticism
We. have. therefore, the first pre-
requisites to success this fall a
