IS ACTIVELY SUPPORTED
Candidate for Reelection is Busy
Making Active Campaign
In all Parts of the District

The Hon. Frederick n. Zihlman.
Republican Candidate for Congress
from the 9th congressional district of
Maryland, is conducting one of the
most aggressive and effective CAM
palgns of his career. A brief review
OF his activities during the past week
will demonstrate to the voters of the
district the intense earnestness with
which Mr.. Zihlman is making his
fight for reelection to Congress. Fri
day, October 18th, he spoke at the
Republican Rally at Homecoming,
which was declared by veterans to
have been the greatest political meet
ing held in Allegany county for
twenty years. Evans Opera House,
where the meeting was held. with a
seating capacity of 800, was far too
small to accommodate the crowd that
clamored for entrance, and the side
walks in front Of the building were
damned with scores who were unable
to get inside. Mr.. Zihlman was in
fine spirits and made by far the best
speech he has delivered in the present
campaign. At the close of the meet
ing hundreds remained to shake his
hand and pledge their support. The
other speaker on the program was
Hon. George a. Casio, formerly State
Highway Commissioner Of Utah. D.
Lindley Sloan, leading attorney of
Cumberland and law partner of State
Senator David A. Robb, presided. A
fine musical program was a feature
of the meeting. William Bonner, of
New York, sang and was assisted by
Miss Lucille Jarrett, of the Keith

of Barton, also rendered several num-
bers. Mrs. G. Gale Townsend, Jr.,

ments.
