And COlOre~
Social Equality Feast
Was Held Last w

Baltimore, Sept. 7th. 1922.
The Republicans, at the very
largely attended meeting of their
State Central Committee last week,
broke precedent which has been in
force ever since the enfranchiSement
of the negroes-they admitted the
negro members of the Committee to
social equality, and all ate together
in common and free socialbility at the
luncheon which was given to the
members Of the Committee, and other
leading Republicans by Chairman
TAFT, after the business meeting was
over. For many years it has been
the custom for the Chairman of the
Democratic Committee to entertain
the members of that body at lunch
con, and that feature of the meeting
has always been one of its most
agreeable characteristics. The Gus
tom originated with the late Senator
German and Chairman of the Com
mittee away back in the seventies,
and has kept up to the present time.
The Republicans never adopted the
custom until last week, and the rea-
son they refrained from having a
luncheon as a part of their meetinE
was frankly stated by the leaders to
be on account of the colored men,
bers, who would have to be invited
to eat with the white members. Mr..
TAFT, however, as an old-time Ohio
Republican, had no such scruples
about the white and blacks eating to-
gethcr. He was brought up in a
State where negro equality, social,
and political, is taken rs matter
of course. and if that rule applies
to the Republicans in the great State
of Ohio, there is no reason why il
should not apply to the Republicans
in Maryland. So Mr.. TAFT gave his
luncheon and the white and the
blacks, men and women, ate, talked
and hobnobbed together in the most
cordial sociability and equality, just
as they do in Ohio and other States,
where negro equality is taken as mat
ter of course, and where the black
and tan contingent of Republican

TALL CEDARS
AT OCEAN CITY
Big Parade Features-MilfOrd Dele.
CATION Scores Hit-Oscar Morris
Excellent In Masquerade

Tall Cedars from all over the East
ern Shore and from several of the
large cities gathered together for the
big \Picnic and frolic at Ocean City
last Thursday. From early in the
morning until late in the evening the
boardwalk at the popular summer re-
sort was thronged with merry-mak-
ers.
Old Sol and the elements frowned
favorably down upon the assembly
and enabled evehyone to have a grand
and glorious time. Showers in the
evening made the fireworks commit
tee hustle the display which was ad-
judged by everyone to be most spec
tacular. There were no athletic events
on account of the high tide on the
beach.
The parade in the afternoon was
easily the feature of the days fes-
tlvities. Three bands in line and
Forest 40 from Milford, Del, was in
uniform. About 80 clowns cavorted
around with all sorts of antics and
drew the applause of the crowds
watching. Milford Forest again
scored hit with two negroes dressed
up to represent a camel Oscar Nor
ris, of Salisbury, was excellent in his
imitation of a rube mounted on a
donkey and Charlie Chaplin, played
by Mr. Macgruder was comical also.

Primary Election
On Next Monday
Bruce and Goldsborougb, Democrats and Ser
ator France, Look Like Easy Winners
Hot Republican Fight.

Next Monday there will be three
cornered contest for United States
Senator. The candidates are:
William Cabell Bruce, of Baltimore
City.
David J. Lewis, of Allegany
County.
William |. Norris, of Baltimore
City.
Both Mr.. Bruce and Mr. Lewis en-
deavored to keep the liquor question
out of the campaign. Senator Nor
mis- is an avowed "wet."
Mr.. Bruce favorS slight changes
in the Volstead law.
Mr.. Lewis favors the sale of
stimulating" beverages, meaning
enough alcoholic contents to stimulate
the drinker.
All of these candidates have their
friends, but so far as this county is
concerned the Senatorial fight is
really between Bruce and Lewis. Mr.
Lewis is now holding Federal office
paying him, we are informed, around
ten thousand dollars a year, obtained
for him through the influence of for
mer Senator John Walter Smith. He
ran for Senator against Senator
France and was defeated Senator
France is likely to be the nominee
Of the Republicans, and many Demo-
Gratis think Bruce can easily defeat
him. He is equipped in every way,
they say, to do it.
As to the Congressional situation,
there's another mix-up. Again the
liquor question is prominent. T. Alan
Goldsborough, present Congressman
from the First Congressional District,
is a candidate for denomination. He
stands on his record. which is an ex-
cellent one, and asks for the sup
port of the men and women of Wor-
cester County who desire real Rep
resentative at Washington. Reports
from the upper counties indicate that
he will get an overwhelming major
ity there.
In Worcester Mr.. Goldsborough has
many admirers who will vote for him.
Col. A. w. Sisk, of Caroline County,
is candidate for the Democratic
nomination for Congress. The prin-
cipal plank in his platform is Gov
enment control of liquor. He will
get quite few votes in this county.

600 REPUBLICANS
ARE REGISTERED
AS DEMOCRATS
Political Leader On Eastern Shore
May Lose Out Because He Worked
Tricks On Other Party.

In an Eastern Shore County one of
the alert Republican leaders has seen
to it that 600 or more reliable Repub-
licans are registered as Democrats
for the purpose of helping to saddle
weak candidates on the Democratic
party, as the Republicans rarely ever
have a primary contest.
This year conditions are different
and the same Republican leader is
between the devil and the deep blue
sea. He would like to help the weak
Democrats, but he wants those votes
worse for France. Nothing doing for
DR.. France, however, because the law
is plain that an afliliation must be
changed six months before an cleo
ton.
So the chickens have come home to
roost. All good Democrats regret
very much that the leader cannot
have back his pawns.

Wicomico County, is another candi
date for the Democratic nominatio
for Congress. He is in. favor
radical changes in the Volstead Law
So it seems that there is ne
great deal of difference in the att
tude of Messrs. Sisk and Jackson.
There is hot fight in every county
in the State between France ano
Garrett. The liquor question Is
dominant in this fight, also. France
is wet" and Garrett is in favor of
amending the Volstead law to allow
the manufacture of beer and wine.
Monday is going to be busy day,
and from the best information We
can .obtain the successful candidates
will be named by the ladies-Go'i
bless them!
The Democratic ballot to be use
next Monday will be white. The T
publican ballot will be pink.
Democrats may vote the entire
Democratic ticket with two marks,
though if the voter desires to avail
himself of the privilege of express
ing his sentiment for second choice
for the United States Senate, the
ballot requires three marks. The Re-
publican ballot requires but one mark.
One popularity of the Democratic
ballot this year, which should be
watched by each individual when he
expresses his choice, is that feature
which provides for first and sec
ond choice of the Senatorial candi
dates. Instead of the customary on,
column of boxes, after the names of
candidates, this year there will be
two columns of boxes. In the first
the voter expresses his preference for
first choice; in the second column he
expresses his second choice. Thi
the first time that the first and
ond choice feature has occurred
the passage of the bill provic
strictly secret ballot. Six
ago the same condition existeo
at that time it was possible to
ballot at home, carry it to
polling place and deposit it as
official ballot.
Now the voter must mark the b;
lot in the booth, and unless care
exercised it is comparatively easy fo
a voter to make the

u. S. TO BUY
REAL ESTATE
in WORCESTER
Postmaster General Work Proposes
Government Buy Or Build New
POstOfiices
BY ROBERT FULLER

Correspondence OF The Messenger
Washington, ID c., Sept. 4.-Uncle
Sam is going to invest in Worcester
County real estate, as soon as the
plan of Postmaster General Work is
authorized by Congress. 1t is pro-
posed that the government buy OF
build its own post offices.
President Harding has approved
the plan. 1t is national in scope and
when put into operation will save the
government $5O0,00O, 900 in ten years
Tired Paying Rent.
Postmaster General Work in his
letter to President Harding explained
that the department now pays an an
nual rental for buildings which house
all of our post offices, totaling more
than S12,0OO.000. These figures have
been growing at a tremendous rate
recently as leases expired and owners
demand and obtained substantial in
creases.
1t was also pointed out that shame
less speculation on the part of those
who try to prey on the government
will be abolished Tor all time.
The Government can borrow money
at a.; to buy or build post offices,
which will be tax free, says Work.
Whereas. when leased. the govern
ment pays a rental high enough to
permit the lessor to borrow money at
Z to 10f; and still profit.

Business Is Booming.

1886 of Uncle Sans post offices
are in leased quarters. Only 200 are
in homes owned by the government.
The parcel post and other adjust
ments have resulted in earnings which
have more than doubled in the last
ten years and are constantly growing.
Administration leaders in Congress
favor the plan and Treasury officials
have expressed the opinion that it is
essential to economical management
of the postal system.

MATTINGLY ANSWERS
MANDAMUS RULING
Says Action Ordering Seized
Liquor Returned Not Final and

Robert E. 'Mattingly, acting judge
Of the Police Court, yesterday filed
in the District Court of Appeals an
answer to the rule in mandamus re-
Gently issued against him at the re-
quest of the; United States to United
States Attorney Gordon to compel
him to sign a bill of exception in the
case of Frank p. Hall, whose near
beer saloon at 1901 7th street south
west was recently raided by police
and revenues and $5O,O00 worth of
liquor seized. Judge Mattingly asks
that the rule against him be dis
charged.
He points out that his order direct
ing the return of a portion of the
liquid found in premises 636 and 638
X street southwest, adjoining Halls
place, which premises were not de-
scribed in the search warrant. is not
final and may not be appealed. A
trial by jury has been demanded by
Attorneys Daniel T. Wright and
Phillip Ershler, representing Hall.
the judge shows. and no trial has
been had. He called attention to a
decision of the Appellate Court, filed
last February, holding that a judge
of the Police Court has no right to
sign bill of exception until after a
final judgment in the case.
Judge Mattingly attacks tho ac-
curacC of the proposed bill of ex-
ception and denies there was any
showing that the liquor was contra
band and that it was not lawfully in
the possession Of Hall.
