DR.. Hitch was Delawarean and
most of his life was spent in ard
around the thriving town of Laurel in
Sussex county. For a number Of
years he practiced medicine in that
section and always enjoyed a lage

years ago he suffered stroke of pa
ralysls and since that time had been
almost an invalid, never recovering
from its effects. Another stroke on
Wednesday evening last proved to be
fatal. He was the author of a medical
look which attracted much attention
with his profession in his native State
and elsewhere.
A few years ago he moved to this
city, bought a home and had since
been leading quiet life, hoping to
maintain his stength by so doing.

The Democrats had their election
On Tuesday last. The Peoples Party
will never remember of having anoth-
er in old Worcester.
We are sorry for our good friend
Mr.. John Gordy. He went politically
wrong at the wrong time.
The prettiest lot of ballots that ever
came out of ballot boxes were those
counted in Costen's District on Tues
day night last.
Peoples Party politicians in POGO

teeth Tuesday night. In fact they be-
gan to hide themselves away early ir
the afternoon. They saw the hanC
writing on the wall.
All honor to the good ladies OF
Worcester county and especially tc
those of Pocomoke City. They worked
right and they voted right, and they
never tired in their efforts to bring
about a great democratic victory.
Mr.. Edgar T. Johnston, editor OF
The People, will please take notice

opponent, and Mr. Crockett carried

that the Democratic ticket would have
received unanimous vote in the
county.
Tuesdays election gave evidence o.
the fact that the democratic party in
Costen's District has great working
force when it becomes enthused. Many
persons gave valuable assistance who
heretofore have done comparatively
nothing for the party at the polls. Let
us begin right now to organize our
selves thoroughly so that we will be
in the best of shape to meet the enc

get DR.. Frances scalp next year
Keep your scalping knives sharp.
We don't know whether it was that
bridge opening, the surveying of the
proposed road to Public Landing, the
surveying of the Atlantic's front at
Ocean City, or the bringing of Mrs
Gertrude Breslau Fuller into the
county that caused the upheaval
There is one thing certain, however
the Peoples Party got an awful black
eye in the miXup and it will have to
undergo considerable hospital expert

gain, to say nothing of complete re-
covery. But then complete recovery

Hats off to Mrs. Gertrude Breslau
Fuller Her coming into our county
did US great good, just as her advent

She has a message and she knows
how to state it. The good people ol
this county appreciate the good work
she has done and hope that she will
come our way often and proclaim the
doctrines of democracy as only womer
of her class can do. She has endearec

A Statewide Democratic tide on
Tuesday swept the Democatic candi-
cate for COMPTROLLER into office; gave
the Democrats 21 out of 27 State Sen
ators and about 70 out of LOG men,
bers of the House of Delegates.
William S. Gordy, Jr., the Demo-
cratic candidate for Comptroller, was
given plurality in the counties ana
city of 24,378. When this is contrast
ed with the $4,000 plurality given
President Harding last fall the result
i. considered all the more remarkable
and indicative of an unmistakable
swing of sentiment back toward the
Democratic side.
In the Senatorship fights, Of
which there were IL, the Democrats
won 10. In one fight they had no
candidate and David A. Robb, repub-
lican was elected in Allegany virtu-
ally by default, although William j..
Trickett, independent, poppel over
5000 votes, considered a remarkable
showing. The only real fight which
vent to the Republicans was in Caro-
line, where Lawrence B. Towers, Re
publican defeated Dr. M. Bates Ste
phens, Democrat. 1t was expected
that Towers would show strength, but
that his victory should be as decisive
IS it was was probably surprise ev-
en- to Mr.. Towers himself.
In two Republican counties the
Democats won, although the result
Rad been forecasted before the cleo
ton. In Garrett, with heavy affil-
lated Republican majority, John w.
Mccullough, Democrat, won over John
Starter, Republican, by about 270
votes. Here it is believed that the
bitterness between Shartezrand Sena-
tor Harvey ]. Speicher, augmented
by the primary, was responsible for
STARTERS defeat.
In Charles county, where negroes
cu'aumbered whites, and where there
is in consequence heavy Republican
majority, Senator Walter j. Mitchell
wa. returned to the Senate over Al
bert j. Lomax, Republican. Here it is
believed that certain Republican
friends of Senator Mitchell had some
thing to do with the result.
III st. Mary's county, George c.
r.verly, Democrat, won over A.
I.:,.gsley Love, Republican. In Dor
chester, Samuel L. Byrn, Democrat,
defeated Fred R. Waddell, Republi-
can. In Cecil, DIR. H. A. Cantwe'l,
Democrat, defeated S. Ralph An
,:rews, Republican. In Hartford, MIL
ard E. Tydings, Speaker of the last
House of Delegates, defeated Frank
T.. Baker, Republican. In Montgom
cry, DIR. Eugene Jones, Democrat, de-
feated Edward L. Stock, Republican.
In Talbot, John S. Mcdaniel, Dem J.
crat, defeated John A. Arringdal :,

which they won is another indication
