Chautauqua to
Come April q

CALEXICO, March 1.-THE first
:. news of the Chautauqua for this
year has just been received here.
That truly gala week is in store
for the lecture, music and entertain
ment lovers is evident from these
first reports. The dates for Calsx-
leo have been definitely set for
April 81 to May 3.
First in musical importance comes
! A. F. Thaviu and twenty-five Sc
lected members of his celebrated
Exposition band. Honors have
been heaped upon this distinguished
musician, who now ranks with Sousa
and Creators as one of the leaders
in his chosen profession. Unprece-
dented attendance will undoubtedly
greet the band at their two con-
certs on the last day.
he artists recital on the third
night by James Hamilton assisted
by the mixed orchestra quartet will
be another musical highnight. With
tenor voice, dramatic in quality,
sweet and powerful, and magnet
ic stage presence, Hamilton will
sing himself straight into the hearts
of his hearers.
The fifth day, too, will be full Of
interest to lovers of good music.
Leslie Taylor, dainty Scotch violin
list, pupil Of the great. Auer, and
Guy Mariner, New Zealand pianist,
present a full program in the after
noon. Mr.. Mariner is the fast be-
coming Chautauqua favorite in
this country as we'll as his native
land. During the winter he has been
studying under the master hand Of
Josef Lehvinne.

President of Cadillac
Gives Views on the
Situation

"lt is within our power to make
1928 the healthiest and most normal
year in the automotive Andustry
since the great war;" according to
II. II. Rice, president Of the Cadil-
lac Motor Cor Company. "Every-
where there is evidence Of an intel
ligent effort to do this, not by
Wishing for q new boom and price
Initiation, but by giving n better
days work and producing better
? goods. We are acting on the realiz-
alton that real wealth is not meas
ured in dollars, but in the quantity
and quality OF goods produced.
- - Prior to the great activity of
the latter half of 1922, the country
had passed through needless peri
cd Of deflation. A closer approach
to normal is now evident in com
modify prices, production, and com
mercial activity.
For both general business and
our own industry all indications at
the beginning Of 1928 were for an
average throughout the year better
than in 1922. Now that we have
passed the first two months of the
new year reports confirm those
earlier conclusions. Sales and pro-
duction have iuIly met expectations.
ovGestimate importance
"We believe that the potential
influence of Europe upon our normal
progress has been overestimated.
From my own personal study Of
coditions there last year, ! gained
q much more optimistic view of the
situation that seems prevalent here.
When was there, France was work
ing, producing and rapidly repair
ing the damage of the late war.
Since then Great Britain has added
much to the morale of Europe by
arrangement to pay her debt to
the United States.
"No one learns to swim by cling
ing to o life preserver. No aid from
America can replace the effort of
Europeans to help themselves.
"When Europe settles down to
producing real wealth in commodi.
ties with the same earnestness that
Is today being shown in America,
she will be on the road to the same
normal, healthy business condition
that honest work is producing here.
"In our own company, our con
clusions are based upon close per-
sonal study Of conditions through
out the country. l have just return
ed from trip throughout the east.
Mr.. McNaughton, our vice-presi-
dent, is now covering the west and
southwest.
Everywhere we discover, clearly
defined, a conservative attitude of
optimish. BY that ! mean an atti-
tude of optimism such as is fssum-
ed by our distributors, by bankers
and other progressive and conserva-
tive business leaders.
Buyers Want Value
'.HWe believe it is q year in which
genuine value built into q ear will
influence buyers more than ever
before.
'orherc are factors peculiar to
k0Nf own organization tHdl W. w
lieve will further stimulate output.
There is growing popular approv-
al of the V-type, eight-cylinder en-
CINE. Our latest ear, Type 61, has
proved the most successful and pop
ular car we ever built, and eontinu-
Gus refinements in our manufactur-
ing processes havemade the ear now
in the hands of our distributors an
even better transportation unit than
the first Type 81 which left the
factory

Latest Sport

Within the past few weeks "auto

Mr.. Jones Replies Briefly to Story
Circulated BY Mir. +. L. Neville

While in District No. s on We'd
nesday, I learned Of a story being
circulated by Mr.. r. L. Neville,
Democratic candidate for County
Commissioner, to the effect that
when he was one Of the assessors
in that district he was constantly
urged by me to increase the as
scssments and that when the work
was finished an increase was made
without giving him a chance to be
present. For lack of space in the
Republican at this late hour, l
cannot reply in full but do wish
to deny cmphatically what he has
said. Mr.. Neville did what no
other assessor did in the county,
slashld his own assessment and
also cut that Of some Of his imme-
diatc ncighbors, many of whom
did not concur in his action and
who say today that after Mr..
Neville S assessment was put back
to a reasonable figure it is still too
low compared with the rest of the
district and county.
Mr.. Neville was given fullOp-
portunity to adjust his assessments
to make them compare with the
rest of his district and of the coun-
ty and when he refused the repre-
sentative of the State Tax Com
mission, Mr.. NJ !. Lindsay, or
dered the work done by the COun-
ty Commissioners, the other as
SCISSOR and myself. When Mr..
Neville says that | constantly
urged him to raise the assessments
in his district and that all of the
land in his district was raised from
three to five dollars per acre he
makes a statement which is not in
accord with the facts and | would
be very glad to have him meet me
before the County Commissioners
at any time for the purpose of
learning the truth. | very much
fear that Mr.. Neville has permit
ted his desire to help his Demo-
cratic running mate, my opponent,
to bias his judgment and his re-
gard for facts. | am somewhat of
the opinion that all of this talk
about assessments anyway is only
a smoke screen put up by our Dem
ocratic friends to conceal from the
people of the county the short
comings of the present democratic
administration of the office Of
States Attorney and mis1ead them.
Respectfully submitted,
E. r. JONES,
Republican Candidate for State s
Attorney
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1923-11-01

Again this unknown writer claims
that Mr.. Ofutt has had more work to
do in his administration that Mr..
Jones had in the previous four years,
and that he has been more successful
in his prosecution of cases. This is
wholly erroneous as the figures pub
lished in these columns last week VIII
prove. Furthermore the boasted ex-
pelience of this Life Long Republican
as a grand juror should have taught
him that no States Attorney ever
sent any person to the House Of Cor
rection or anywhere else, and that
courts and juries alone have this pow
er. Even if Mr.. Offutt has been the
phenomenal success that his admirer
claims he could hardly have usurped
judicial authority.
The writer further claims that Mr..
Offutt refrained from taking a lot Of
petty criminal cases" to the Circuit
Court. Again we should like to ask
a question. What States Attorney
prosecuted some country boys for the
dastardly theft Of an old wagon wheel
and triumphed in securing their CON
viction? What States Attorney brot
a Sunday hunter, or man so indis-
Greet as to carry a gun on the Sab
bath day, before a grand Jury, four
months after the time limit for such
action had passed, secured an indict-
ment, only to have his case ruled odt
Of Court on technical grounds?
The only accusation that CAL be
brought against Mr.. Jones IS that he
is a Republican. We foar'easly accuse
Mr.. Ofutt of being a Democrat. And
we add that so far as he ajmmisJra-
ton of the Office of States Attorney
is concerned, political attiiiatlon is Of
no Importance whatsoever. We hon
estly believe Mr.. Jones TO be the man
for the position
We believe that Garrett Coun-
ty will give its normal Republican ma
iority not only for the Srase ticket but
for the County ticket as well. We
confidently predict a complete victory.

The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1923-11-01

The closing days of the campaign
are furnishing additional cause for the
optimism which has pervaded Repub-
lican ranks from the start. We have
an excellent chance Of electing Attor-
ney General Armstrong as the next
Governor Of Maryland. From all over
the state, even from the Democrat,
strongholds, come reports of a pro
nounced anti-Ritchie sentiment, which
taken in conjunction with the fact that
Governor Richie won by such pitt
fully small majority four years AGO. is
most encouraging to the great number
of Mr.. Armstrong; adherents. From
the very beginning the Democrats
have claimed that this has been a cam
paign without an issue. We emphat-
ieally deny this assertion. There has
been very important issue: a per
sonal issue between Armstrong and
Richie; an issue of personal merit
and worth. Mr.. Armstrong; great
strength lies in his individual su-
periOrity to the Democratic candidate.
Our local campaign in Garrett cour-
ty has been singularly devoid of per
sonalities. Not for years have we
known such a peaceful contest. It
has remained for some persons de-
nominating himself "a Life Long Re-
publican" in an article even more re-
markable for its literary style than
for its astounding assertions. which
was published in last weeks Mountain
Democrat and reproduced as a paid
advertisement in these columns, 20 in
ject the personal element. This re-
markable production was a panegyric
in favor of the Democratic candidate
for States Attorney and an lima
tured, petty attack upon his Repuhli-
can opponent, as many long suffering
readers who waded through its invol-
we'd and tortuous phrases already
know. If it were not for the fact that
Mr.. Offutt, the Democratic candidate,
tactitly endorsed this article by au-
thorizing its republication as an ad-
vertisement of his candidacy, the pro
priety of answering it might be CUES
tionable. As it stands the thing is q
direct challenge, and deserves the full
comment which it receives elsewhere
in this issue of The Republican. We
refrain from anything more than a
brief glance at some of its major
points.
The chief Of these is the statement
that Mr.. Offutt is practically run
ming as an independent Democrat"
We confess that we do not know Just
what an independent Democrat is. but
if this writer means to imply that Mr..
Ofutt is a nOn-partisan, we should
like to ask a question. Who went to
Governor Richie and by promising
him a large number of Republican
votes (to be obtained by some wholly
him to displace the Republican Super
intendent of Schools of Garrett Coun-
ty, a man who halds office under a
wholly Democratic board and who
thus proves himself to be real non
partisan? Was this or was this not
the Democratic candidate for States
Attorney? The Baltimore news
papers Of October 18th will furnish
the answer. The truth of the matter
is that Mr.. Of'utt is in no sense a non.
partisan and would never claim to be
one if his own party had a sufficient
majority in this county to elect him
