ifcrcement. last night expressed its
determination to broadcast the
record Of every candidate ct the
primary election.
HAN the people Of the county are
not familiar with the candidates FOR
the various offices, 1t was pointed
out. Therefore It was decided TO
appropriate sum Il. the dissent
nation OF tracts and dodgers set
ting forth the virtues and short
cOmings of the office seekers.
The meeting last night was held
In HyattsviIle city haII, ana was
presided over by Mayor j. Frank
Rushe, president OF the league. Re.
ports Of committees showed the
progress Of the league In its work
to clean up the county.
Present New Code.
The executive committee 1t q
meeting August 20 drafted q new
code Of procedure, which VAS
made public last night. The code
outlines the events which lea to the
formation Of the league, and states
that Mayor Rushe was the origina-
tor OF the league idea.
1.-THE league stands aQuareIy on
the principles OF our forefathers.''
composed OF citizens who are will
ing to work for the common good
Of the county, regardless Of partisan
politics. Religious beliefs and
secret societies play no part In the
organization.
ct IL simply combination Of
those people Of Prince Georges
county whose aim is to better con.
dftions and who are willing to work
together to put the best available
men lin public office; detect, punish
and stamp out vice and crime, pro.
mote honesty in office and make
the county q better place in which
to live. with total disregard of
political affiliations"
Continuing, the code reads:
Gang Rule Scored.
I'm the past it apears to have
been the order OF the cOunty'a poli-
ticians to select for the elective Of
ices henchmen whom they were
certain would carry out the orders
Of their respective organisations
The rank and file Of the citizenry
Of this county maelkly accepted these
selected candidates for office and
when election day arrived silently
voiced their disgust BY invariably
staying away from the polls. Con-
sequently, whether 3 Democrat or
Republican organization candidate
was successful In being elected to
office practically the same CLIQUE
remained in control. The rank and
file of the voters were not organ-
lied. They lived in the hope that
some time, somehow. an election
would result in putting in good men
in office and then that IawIessness
and disorder would be stamped out"
An effort will be made by the
league to round up every voter Of
the county to cast his or her ballot
at the primary election on Septem.
