BRUCE CARRIES MARYLAND:
COLDSBOROUCH WINS SEAT
Big MaOrities For Democratic Candidates In Worcester.
POcOmOke Still The Banner District Of County.
PARTY ELATED OVER VICTORY

/ This is Democratic year. In Mary
land the returns show Bruce elected
over France, and Goldsborough over
Butler. The amendments, which con-
stltuted part of the pledges cf the
democratic party, were all passed by
large majorities, and the vote showed
unusual interest in this part cf the
ticket; in the majority of elections,
amendments are passed over, as not
worthy of notice. Their passage was,
however, due to the large majority re-
ceived in the Baltimore city, and Bal
timore county vote; nearly all the
other counties voting heavily ag inst
them.
In the Congressional districts, .ryd-
ings goes from the second; Hill, from
the third; Linthicum from the fourth:
Mudd, from the fifth; and Zillnan.
from the sixth. The House at Wash
ington will therefore be equally {. vid-
ed between democrats and repuhl cans
|-Goldsborough, Tydings and Ii lthi-
cum being the democrats; and It'll,
Zillman and Mudd, the republi icans.
Maryland democracy, therefore, aims
one representative. Bond was G. tceC
Judge in Baltimore city over .aw-
renee, republican, and Stevens. the
Labor candidate.
Throughout the State and Gov ltry,
great democratic gains are rep. ted,
and in many instances splits in ii re-
publican party are evident-in ary-
land notably. Some of the imp, 'tant
results of the election in other 5ates
are as follows:
Alfred E. Smith returned to Gov
ernorship of New York by an estimat
ed plurality of at least 478,67C, and
probably carries with him entire
Democratic State ticket.
DR.. Royal S. Copeland democrat
wins United States Senatorsh in
New York State from William M.
Calder by estimated plurality of more
than 100000.
Incomplete Congressional returns
throughout United States show con-
, tinuing Republican losses. in the
House of Representatives, which
steadily cut down the Republican ma
jority.
United States Senator James A.
Reed (Democrat) reelected by COM
Portable plurality over Brewster in
Missouri.
Henry Cabot Lodge returned to
United States Senate in Massachu-
sets over William A. CASTOR by plu-
rality of about 1900, but recount of
votes will be made.
Congressman Simeon d. Fess Gre
rublican) apparently elected over At
lee Pomerene (Democrat) in United
States Senatorial contest in Ohio by
safe plurality.
Governor Edwards of New JERSEY,
who made his fight essentially on
"wet" issue, defeats Frelinghuysen in
United States Senatorial contest
Miss Alice Robertson (Republican)
of Oklahoma, who was the only wom-
an in Congress, is defeated by her
Democratic opponent, whom she beat
two years ago.

CITY PLANS TO PURCHASE
FIRE FIGHTING EQUIPMENT
Funds Collected By Pocomoke Ladies Last Monday VIII Be
Used To Furnish Fremens Room In New City Hail.
AMOUNT THOUGHT INSUFFICIENT

Owing to a misconception on the
part of certain of our citizens, the
"Drive" projected by the women of
Pocomoke City to secure funds to be
applied to the betterment of condi
tens in our fire department, is no,
meeting with the success anticipated.
There are many aspects to be con
sidered in speaking of fire depart
ment. There is question Of water
supply, a pump to send this water in
adequate quantity where it will be
needed, a system of pipe lines and
plugs to which hose can be attached.
also an engine to increase facilities
for throwing water. These are all
items of mechanical apparatus costing
thousands of dollars, and the pur-
chase of them is financed by proper
authority along different lines of taxa
tion-whether direct or indirect.
One of the most important adjuncts
to a fire department is the fire laddie
himself, and, unfortunately, he is the
creature most frequently disregarded
Sc far as his comfort and equipment is
concerned. In large cities, he is look
ed out for by the tax rate; he is paid
by the corporation, and he is viewed
by the general public almost as is the
rest of the machinery. He must an
swer every call, risk his life at times,
and at all times subject himself to Sc
we're physical strain. All this, in POGO
moke he does without pay, OF. at least
with nominal remuneration. Our men
are volunteers; they fight without
money consideration; they should be
looked upon as part of our citizenry,
and treated as friends and public spir-
tied men. We are glad to say they
are here. No greater evidence of this
is needed than the interest shown by
our women in their welfare.
The ladies started out On Monday to
collect some money to provide neces-
sites and comforts for these men,
and at the same time there was a
meeting of townsmen to secure such
mechanical apparatus as the city
needed to make the efforts of the fire
men successful whenever put forth.
The two objects-that of the town
meeting and that Of the Ladies' Drive
were independent of each other. The
money to be be collected by the wom-
en- is to be turned over to the firemen
TO purchase such articles as will con
tribute to the convenience and COM
fort o. our firemen. These include
desks, chairs, couch, tables, rugs.
coats, boots, hats, towels, curtains,
ccstumers, mirrors, electric lanterns,
and any other things needed by our
fire fighters. When these articles are
bought and paid for, the expense on
them is finished; their cost does not
figure in any tax rate, and when they
must be renedwed, perhaps another
"Drive" may be instituted, as there
will always be found disinterested
and patriotic women enough to. under
take enterprises forsthe common veal
Is there any reason why any one
should refuse to contribute to this
worthy cause?
The answer is apparent. When you
are visited again, understand the mis-
sion of these workers, and encourage
their efforts by substantial sub
ccrintiOns

R. B. Howell, progressive, 1896; A. W.
Jefferis, G. o. P, 24,631; Clarence A. Davis, pro-
gressive stalking horse, 24092; Charles H. Gustaf
son, Farm Bureau federation, 17,242.
Congressman Jefferis voted for the Esch-Cum-
Minis act repeal of the profits tax and other
wise was the typical supporter of G. O. P. policies.
He got about rs per cent of the total Republican
vote cast.
Charles H. Gustafson for several years was
prominent in the Nebraska Farmers union and left
that organization to work with the American Farm
Bureau federation and is head of the United
States Grain Growers, Inc. A capable correspond
ent, who follows Nebraska affairs closely, informs
us that business interests who oppose public
ship and other progressive measures advocated by
Howell, were responsible for Gustafson's entry into
the race The same thing worked in Iowa
where Clifford Thorne, attorney for the Farm Bu-
reau federation, against Brookhart.
In the Progressive party primaries Judge Wray
of York, who has been prominent with the "Com-
mittee of 48" and with League and labor political
activities, was nominated for senator.
If Howell is elected over Hitchcock, the remain
ing vote needed to reopen the Newberry case and
expe him from the senate will be provided. Brook
hart and Frazier reverse two other Newberry votes,
and Newberry saved by vote Of 46 to al.

tail state Moreover, the other candidates nominat
ed by the League faced united opposition in each
case and in no instance could the anti-Leaguers
charge that their own candidates did not have the
full backing of their organization.
In this connection it might be well too to call
attention to the fact that other l. V. A. papers
in the state with two exceptions supported
McCumber as whoeheartedly as they did their
candidates opposed to the League.
The election of Frazier is conceded by all. While
the anti-League organization in the state will un-
questionaby support his Democratic opponent,
they have hope of electing their man. Frazier's
services in the senate will be greater than
his services governor. He has been national
figure for some time and his work in the senate
will give him better opportunity for serving the
movement that he has been so intrumental in help

NEBRASKA
STATE TURNS PROGRESSIVE, TOO

STATE TURNS PROGRESSIVE TOO
Nebraska proved to be no exception in the rising
tide of progressive sentiment in her primary elec-
ton on July 1S.
AS in Iowa and North Dakota, there
cear-cut fight in the Republican primaries for the
United States senate nomination And the prize
went to an advocate of public ownership and
denouncer of the Esch-C -Cummins act.
Senator Hitchcock, reactionary Democrat, holds
the seat to be filled this fall. He was easily re-
nominated by his machine, but the very light vote
in the Democratic column shows that the voters
are not turning to the jackass party to express
their resentment against recent G. o. P. policies.
Rather they are turning to progressives who
stand for the things which the Nonpartisan league
has been advocating.
In the Republican primary the vote for senator,
according to the latest figures we have received,

of all public utilities; state guarantee of bank de-
posits; lower taxes and government control Of
money are some Of the other planks of their pro-
gram.
Union labor forces and the "Committee of 49,"
under Frank Johnesse have co-operated with Ray
M'Kaig of the Nonpartisan league in the making
of this party. Due to defation, there were
no paid workers securing signatures on the petit
tions All that came in were through voluntary
help. Nobody asked for money. Farmers and
townspeople quit their work and spent hours skir-
mishing the country to get their petitions
signed up.
The farmer-labor forces were compelled to or
ganize their political party in as much as the
state legislature in 1919 repealed the direct primary
law and restored the convention system. The re-
suit, however, of forcing the farmers and workers
into an independent party may have quite differ
ent effect from that anticipated by their enemies
in the legislature.
"The outlook for the Progressive party is very
bright. Senator Borah is having fight of his life

SO to IS for the l. V. A. Two years ago the I. V.
AS captured SO to 81 for the League. This shows
a gain for the League.
The comeback of the Nonpartsans since the re-
call election has bothered the kept press great
deal. Numerous explanations of Fraziers victory
have been offered and are still being offered by
these papers This is especially true of the North
Dakota T. " A. publications, but all of their ex-
plantations fail when the facts examined. These
papers all contend that McCumber suffered defeat
because of his failure to properly ally himself with
the T. v. AS. They say that if he had been active
in fighting Townleyism in the past he would have
been ndorsed at the Jamestown q. V. A. con-
vention and he would have been nominated.
If Frazier was nominated because of the bad
standing of McCumber in the anti-League camp,
then why was it that the League polled larger
average vote for it's candidates than did the /. V.
A.? Surely the fact that the League amassed
larger number of votes in the primary than did the
I. V. A. should be proof enough as the political
strength Of the farmers movement in the flicker
