VOTE THE
REPUBLICAN, TICKET

well as throughout the nation
will be called upon on Tuesday
next to take part in a most i'm
portant election. The election
this year is especially important
because of the presence of a
third party in the field headed
by Senator La Toilette.
The Republican party is fortu-
nate in having as its standard
bearer a conservative who is
close to the interests of the
people. Chairman Butler in pre-
dieting the Presidents election
well says of him.
The President appeals to the
common sense of tine people. -
His character, his demonstrated
fitness for his great office, have
won the confidence OF ALL
There is an important factor
of the campaign. Mr.. Coolidge
has impressed his ability, his
good sense, his integrity and his
courage on the people not by
persuasion or gestures" but by
quiet and competent perform
ance of his duties, with the re-
suit that an abiding confidence
in him has been created.
Mr.. Coolidge's reelection will
maintain public confidence, which
is at the bottom OF national pros
perity.
A change at this time, when
the country needs above all else
a period OF calm, intelligent and
orderly readjustment, will dis
turb that confidence and retard
the onward march of the nation.
And a change which would re-
suit in throwing the election in
to Congress, with an ensuing
deadlock and the possibilities OF
a long drawn out wrangle, would
put the nation into period of
depression that is not pleasant
to contemplate.
The calm, sane, American
voter, confronting the situation
squarely in the voting booth, we
believe, realize that reliance on
tried and proved men and poll
cies is the wise and intelligent
thing at this time, when a steady
hand and a clear head are more
greatly required than earnest
defamation, untried theories and
dangerous experiments.
The voters of this Congress
sional district will be called upon
TO elect member of Congress
to fill out the unexpired term in
the 68th Congress due to the
death Of the late Sydney E.
Mudd, and also the representa-.
tive in the 69th Congress. The
Republican party is fortunate
in having as its candidate for
both of these terms young man
fully and ably qualified in every
respect to represent them in the
halls of of Congress. Our candi.
date, Mr.. Thomss B. r. Mudd,
is young, full of energy and am
bitioL and well fitted by eduea-
ton and experience to make a
most excellent representative.
He is close to the people of this
district and knows our needs.
We urge the voters of this
county to vote the Republican
ticket, thus keeping a cool, sane
and conservative man in the
White House, whose record dem
onstrates he is a friend of the
taxpayer. We urge them also
to vote for Mr.. Mudd because of
his qualification and because he
is a home man. The office of
Congressman is the biggest of
fee in this district and we appeal
to the voters to keep this office
here in Charles county by voting
for Mr.. Mudd.

MANY ASPRANTS
FOR CLOE'S JOB
Harrison Says He Has
Five Names On
Record

A merry scramble was under way
Wednesday for the office of safety COM
missioner, in case Commissioner Cloe
carriers out his threat to resign on Jan
rary /.
Commissioner Harrison said five per-
sons had asked him to consider them
for Cloe's unexpired term. He withheld
their names.
Cloe reiterated druing the day that
he would tender his resignation unless
the commission stops tying my hands"
He told the commission at Tuesdays
session that his department was con-
stantly being interfered with and that
the good people of the city were "cuss-
ing" him for conditions brought about
by this interference.
Commissioner Harrison replied sharp
ly to Cloe, reminding him that the other
commissioners, by law, had equal au-
thority with Cloe over the police and
fire departments
II intend to exercise my right to vote
as l think best on all matters that come
before this commission" Harrison said.
John H. Taylor, former commissioner,
who is regarded as a certain candidate
for Cloe's post in next years campaign,
was at the city hall Wednesday and
reporters jokingly asked him if he would
seek election to Cloe's unexpired term,
in case the latter did resign.
Not on your life," Taylor answered,
adding with broad smile that he didn't
want the job that way" He plans to
ask the people of Birmingham to give
him the job next year, his close friends

ELECTION CLERKS
Will Prosecute Those Who Fail
To Report At Polls

Managers and clerks of the polls
should realize the Importance of being
at their places at 8 o'clock election day,
Solicitor Jim Davis warned Wednes-
day.
In past years a number of managers
and clerks after receiving the appoint
ments failed to perform their duties.
This works a great hardship upon the
election board and upon the voters. Mr..
Davis said, and this year every effort
is to be made to prevent delays in
voting.
Election officials who cannot fulfill
their positions should notify the proper
authorities at once, Solicitor Davis de-
clared as those who fail to appear on
November 4 without proper warning
and excuse will be prosecuted.

The taxi man said he was out of

A city story. Years ago a business
man made a deposit in a savings bank.
He was married and had several chill
dren. One day he was caught in an
accident and died, and as'time went on
the family scattered. In the yearly
stock-taking of dormant accounts some
time ago-there are $4,000 such nc.

attorney noted this one.

Another treasure hunting expedition

They average about one year. Usual
ly the adventures are college students,
rich and idle young men, huskies who

pedition that found treasure" said the

1t was in the days of the old Null

I'VE found it," said he.
He did not stay for gossip with his
old cronies, but hurried on uptown.
