M|LLARD TYD|NCS
OUT FOR CONGRESS
Hartford County Senator And
Former Speaker Of House, For
mally Declares Self

State Senator Millard E. Tydings, of
Hartford county, has filed his papers
as a candidate for the Democratic
nomination for the House of Repre-
sentatives from the Second district.
This district includes Hartford. Balti-
more and Carroll counties and parts
of Baltimore city. 1t is now repre-
sented by Albert A. Blakeney. Re-
publican.
In announcing his platform. Sen
ator Tydinss said in regard to the
liquor question -
AS to the temperance question. l
do not think that the present solution
is either the sane. best or correct
solution. The robberies and murders
at.the various distilleries, with the
high-handed practices of the boot
Logging gangs, must cause everyone
to look with grave concern at the re-
suits OF this law. The old saloon con-
ditions were bad, and should not be
permitted to return.
AT the same time | feel that the
repeal and modification of the Vol
stead act permitting the sale of light
wines and beer under proper regu-
iations and high-proof liquors for
medical purposes under reasonable
restrictions will satisfy the bulk of
the people who are not in accord with
present conditions. There are. OF
course. extremists. both wet and dry.
VINO Will not tolerate anything but
either bone-dry condition or a wide
open condition, as the case NAV be
Between these two extremes stand
the great bulk of Americans. who
know the former conditions were had
and should never be permitted to re-
turn. yet who feel that in the passage
OF the Volstead act the law went too
far and that it was founded on
prejudice and not reason. .',4s.e i
Senator Tydings. was Speaker of
the House in 1920 and was5i also a
member. OF the State Senate at the
last session. He responded im,nedi-
ately upon the declaration of war as
an enlisted man and was promoted
steadily through every grade from en-
listed man to that OF lieutenant
colonel. He participated in, the fight
ing in Alsace and in the Argopne Of
'fensive. receiving his two highest pro-
motions for conspicuous service in
action.

CHANGING
ROUTE OF ANNAPOLIS
WASHINGTON HIGHWAY

Charging that the State Roads Com
mission has no authority TO divert the
course of the Annapolis TO Washing
ton road, as originally laid down, and
suggesting that injunction proceed
ings be instituted to restrain such ac-
ton, James w. Owens, of Annapolis,
has addressed the following letter to
the Board OF County Commissioners (:
"On behalf of number OF citizens
residing on the road from Annapolis
TO Chesterfield, and thence, to the
Patuxent river to connect the road
Prince Georges county 10 Washing
ton city. am laying before you these
facts: In 1896 the General Assembly
of Maryland appointed Commissioners
to lay out road between Washington
and Annapolis, and this was done by
the Old Stage road, as above indi-
Gated. In 1916 the Legislature of
Maryland adopted this road as a route
between Washington and Annapolis,
and in the same year Honorable Sid
ney Z. Mudd passed a bill, being
House Bill No. 1859, adopting this
road. The State Roads Commission
have now attempted to divert il from
the road laid down by Congress and
the Legislature of Maryland and to
carry it in a direct line from the
original one-running through a sec
tion of country that will benefit very
few persons. While the road as orig
inally laid uot goes through fine prop
erty which will attract persons desir-
ing summer homes.
Tho construction of this diverted
road, means that Anne Arundel coun-
ty will have to continue the main
tenance OF the Old Stage Road and
its personal expenses. There will be
two roads, running parallel to each
other, that will not contribute to the
benefit of the county.
Il will respectfully suggest, that the
action of the State Road Commission
is Illegal, autocratic and unjust. AS
serting that that Commission had nc
right to divert the road from it's or
iginal route. without the Legislative
sanction. therefore. suggest, to your
Board that, you join me in an In
junction, which / have prepared OF.
behalf OF the citizens of the Second
and Fourth districts, to restrain the
State Roads Commission from such
diversion.

METROPOLITAN-"Nero."

Nero" the William Fox spectacle
drama, which will be the attraction
at Crandalls Metropolitan Theater
next week. beginning Sunday after
noon. is said to be the most colossal
play ever brought to the screen.
Colossal not only because it numbers
more people in its cast than ever be-
fore took part in motion picture, or
because its settings and material in
vestiture have been executed upon a
gigantic scale. but also by reason of
the fact that it maintains with ad-
mirable continuity story of love,
intrigue and martyrdom that sweeps
forward to a climax that is irresist-
IDLY moving.
Nero" was filmed in Rome under
the direction of j. Gordon Edwards.
1t presents series of majestic
scenes. not limitations, but genuine
environs in which the events pictured
transpired. The cast is composed of
distinguished actors of continental
Europe, with the role of the heroine
played with simplicity and charm by
Violet Mersereau. Among the many
episodes are the burning of Rome,
the gathering of the legions under
Galba. a gala day at the Circus Max
linus. with thrilling chariot races:
the chilling spectacle of the Chris-
tians thrown the lions to make
holiday for a profigate king. the
sacking of Rome and the death of
the tyrant.
