CAMPAIGN ..
HAS STRONG START
Candidate For United States
Senate Given Enthusiastic
Reception In Initial
Speeches.

The campaign of William Cabell |
party for United States Senator, has
had most suspicious start. In his
initial addresses at Leonardtown, |
Prince Frederick, Upper Marlboro and
other points in the counties, as we'll
as in Baltimore city, he was received
with an enthusiasm which makes his
supporters sure that he will be elect,
ed in November by an overwhelming
majority. The outstanding feature OF
all these meetings was not only the
developed fact that Mr. Bruce would
receive cordial support from thinking
voters who have made up their minds
to elect representative to the Senate
from Maryland whose personality and
ability assure for the Commonwealth
a forceful and proper representation
and who can take his place beside the
leaders OF that body, but that he will
be backed by all voters who are de
termined that Maryland shall no long
er be misrepresented in the highest
legislative body of the nation by a
man who they class as blatant dema
gogue.
From every quarter Of the State the
Bruce campaign headquarters is re-
ceiying assurances Of support. 1t is
particularly pleasing, say the Bruce
workers, that every class in the State
is included, and that the pledges of
active work for Mr.. Bruce are coming
from representative groups of work
ing men, from men in professional
circles and from the best thought in
the business development of Mary
land. The quick popular response to
the first active campaigning by Mr..
Bruce is making his workers say that
the question is already one only Of
majority, but they are determined to
have no letup in their drive until
after election day, as they feel that
Senator France must be smothered by
such a majority as to discourage for
all time such illogical radicalism as
he has openly fostered and proclaimed
both on and off the floor of the United
States Senate
An energetic campaign for Mr..
Bruce is assured in the appointment
of his executive staff. The selection
of Carville D. Benson, former con-
gresham, as chairman of the Demo
cratic Campaign Committee, and Of
Clarence X. Bowie, as treasurer. at
once gave confidence TO the workers,
and this was added to in the subse-
h.
Perlman, Secretary OF State, and for
a number of years an active newspa
per worker, would have charge Of pub
LEFTY and advertising.
