The Dominant Issue
Of The Campaign
Ritchie's Record

While the political campaign Is but
q few days old enough has already
-transpired to justify the assertion that
the Democratic Party acted with great
wisdom in its State Convention. not
only in the platform it adopted but
also in the candidates it nominated.
True, the nomination of Governor
Richie brought forth the lightning in
the Republican Platform, but the Dem
ocrats need not feel themselves shat
tered by the bolt when they recall
that it is the Governors record that Is
the real stumbling block to the Re-
publicans. That record Is one of
achievement in the interest OF the
public, and the Republicans in their
criticisms had nothing to- say against
the things that had been accomplished,
but they were strongly of the opinion
that the Governor in doing many Of
the things he did sought only to pro-
mote personal political ambitions.
This charge will sound strange to
many Democratic ears. 1t was the
Governors insistence on the passage
of the reorganization bill without
changes regarded by him as hurtful
that came within an ace, of splitting
his own party wide asunder. Personal
political ambitions certainly did not
figure big inthe stand he took on that
occasion.
The real truth about the matter Is
that the Governor has gone steadily
about his business, first studying out
plans whereby the taxpayers of Nary
land, Democrats and Republicans,
could be served, and then striving to

n ESIGNERS seem to be anxious
~ to cater to every whim Of the
fashionable woman so far as colors,
materials and decorations for her eve
ming clothes are concerned. but the laws
Of the Modes and Persians were no
more strict than that decree of the
present fashion which says that
skirts must be long, lines must be
simple variations Of the style are
permitted in manner only thus and
so. The evening gown here shown de-
picts one Of these variations, and it is
entirely charming.
Velvet ribbon and crepe de chine
are used in developing this smart and
rich-looking costume. Bodice and skirt
are made in one piece and the mate
rial is SO handled that the drape of
the bodice is continued in the draped
circular skirt. The usual side trim
ming gives way in this case to front
trimming consisting Of large velvet
bow heading the drapery Of the skirt.

have enacted into law, where law was
pecessary, the measure that would get
the desired results. Much Of the good
work done by the Governor represents
his personal efforts. Where aid was
necessary, he leaned on members OF
his own party. Democrats will hardly
elinsulted because Of that, and those
upon whom party ties sit lightly will
not be offended, 1t Is assumed, when
the methods employed were honorable
and the end attained was beneficial.
Keen men of affairs look upon the
State largely as huge business un-
dertaking. They regard the Governors
administrative qualifications as some
thing far out of the ordinary. Some
thing will undoubtedly be heard from
them as the campaign progresses.
Neither this phase Of the campaign
nor any other will, in all probability,
obscure the fact that it is the Gov
ernor's record in Office that will stand
forth as the big issue. That record
includes:

Inception ,of lateral road construc-
tion,> insuring easy access to the great
highways already constructed.
Recognizing the Government of the
State so as to minimize expense and
eliminate duplication.
Reduction Of tax rate in the face of
mounting expenses.
While this enumeration represents
only in part what has been accom-
plished, it presents Of itself an outline
which is, well calculated to cause the
Republicans many anxious moments.
Whatever may be said, the voter in
Maryland is pretty likely to be in
clined to a man who has been able to
handle his job so as to get real re-
suits. This inclination is likely to be
strengthened by the Governors prom.

REPUBLICANS AND FORD

Some people legitimately doubt the sincerity of Republican expressions of concern over the prospects of the Ford-for-president boom. Political astuteness would not follow the path Of permitting an adversary to know in advance that he is feared, unless there were hidden desire to entice him into the contest. It may very we'll be that the Republican alarm is deliberately assumed as lure actually to bring Ford into the field in the hope that he would divide, not the Republican, but the Democratic vote, thus giving the election to the Repub- lican party. If the Republican fear of Ford were genuine, they would have definitely shelved his presidential as- pirations last spring by granting him Muscle Shoals, acceptance of which would preclude his entrance into the presidential arena.
 The Democrats need to be wary, for their opponents, lacking substantial record of achievement upon which to base their claims for a return to power, will necessarily resort to wilcs and strategy, in order to win indirectly what they stand to lose by direct methods. The Democratic delegation in congress was in favor of leasing Muscle Shoals to Mir. Ford, and they can strengthen their political position no more surely than by continuing to urge disposition of this important un- dertaking. Anybody can run for pres ident, but there is only one man who has shown the vision, the financial ability and the industrial capacity to develop the Muscle Shoals potentiali- ties into concrete benefit to the widest number of citizens. The Democrats are for Henry Ford-to run Muscle Shoals.

TAX LAWS ARE AMPLE

Aside from claims, founded on real or technical grounds, of responsibility or blame for a threatened deficit in the states financial condition, several facts bearing on the situation are worthy of consideration. Some time ago the claim was made that appro- priations for the next four years would exceed the resources by more than a million dollars a year.
