Cost Of Voting To Taxpay-
ers In Worcester About
SIG Per Ballot.
LIVELY CONTESTS IN
SOMERSET AND KENT

1t is unnecessary to state that the
pprimary election of last Monday in
this county "passed off very quiet
ly." There were 1876 votes cast, di-
vided among the districts as follows:
Firstl, So; second, II; third, 25;
fourth, 2; fifth, Z; sixth, %; seventh,
s.; eighth, 26; ninth, %.
To give these 1856 voters an oppor-
tunity either to endorse Coolidge for
the presidency or to express no pref
erence, cost the county in the neigh
borhood of $4,000 or little over SIC
per vote. The Importance of the pri-
mary was not commensurate with the
cost. Apparently Coolidge had al
ready been endorsed; but if he had
not, the few votes cast at the elections
would have the effect of "damning
MIN with faint praise"
In Somerset county, there was quite
little ripple caused by the two
democratic factions; one, Miles-Lank-
ford; the other headed by Lorie c.
Quinn, Jr. The fight was upon the
question of who should constitute the
delegation to the State Convention.
The Miles-Lankford people had three
delegates out of the four in the field,
all of whom were elected. Loire G.
Quinn, Jr., and Editor Byrd of the
Marylander and Herald, were the OPP
posing delegates. Mr.. Quinn was
chosen to round out the delegation.
In Kent there was struggle for
control of the delegation, and, Incl
IDENTIFY a struggle for political SUI
premacy between Harrison w. Vick-
ers, late Chairman of the Conserva-
tion Commission, and Senator w. B.
Copper. The former won out.
This fight is tinged with all the old
Barroll VS.. Organization coloring.
Senator Copper was at one time, a
Barroll satellite. Circumstances have
however, drawn these two apart.
Since then the Senator has made an
effort to rid himself of the Barroll
political incumbus, and in all his
campaigns has desired to be called a
regular democrat, that is allied
strictly with the organization.
But it has been impossible to oblit--
crate the lines of the old organization
and anti demarkation; and the voting
has always shown the same old divis-
ion.
So the result of the primary in
Kent seems to be victory for the
organization over the ants; and,
since Mr.. Vickers and Gov. Ritchie
seem to be at odds, the delegation,
headed by the former is slated to be
Anti-Ritchie, whatever that may
mean.
These two counties, Kent and
Somerset seem to be the only ones on
the Shore where any very decided
fight was put up.
The State convention will meet in
Baltimore on May 10, to appoint
delegates to the National Convention.

S. E. BONNEVILLE NOW
MANAGES BIG HOTEL
Former Pocomoke Man Appointed
To Responsible Position In
National Capitol

The following is clipped from the
Hotel and Travel Magazine, publish
ed in Washington, D. c., and will be
read with a great deal of interest by
Mr.. Bonneville's many friends:
Robert S. Downs, president of the
Hotel Washington and Managing Di-
rector of that institution since its
opening on April 4, 1918, announces
the appointment of S. E. Bonneville
as manager of The Washington, ef-
fective Friday, May 2.
"In turning over the management
of The Washington to Mr.. Bonneville,
Mr.. Downs hopes to be able to rest
and recuperate from the hard work
which he has done practically all his
life, and it is the sincere wish of his
large circle of friends that with this
rest he may enjoy full recovery to
perfect health.
The new manager reqires no intro
duction to the hotel fraternity or the
travelling public, as for the last "a
years his entire time has been spent
in large and we'll known hotels. Start
ing his career in the old Anderson
Hotel at Pittsburgh, of which his
brother, the late E. E. Bonneville,
was chief clerk, and which was oper-
ated by McKinnie and Dean, Mr..
Bonneville went to the Wayne Hotel
at Fort Wayne, Ind, going from there
to the Claypool as chief clerk when
this hotel was opened. From the
Claypool, he went to The Planters at
St. Louis, remaining there until the
close of the st. Louis Exposition. At
ter this was over, and he had enjoyed
rest, which was much needed after
handling the Worlds Fair crowd, he
returned to the Anderson at Pitts
burgh, which was under the man.
agement of w M. McKinnie, son of
his former employer. After two years
he again returned to st. Louis and
the Planters, under the direction of
that splendid hotel man, Col. Lyman
T. Hay, remaining with Col. Hay un-
til he came to Washington to help
Mr.. Downs open and organize the
hotel of which he now becomes the
active head"

MAYOR TULL APPOINTS
E.W..VEASEY, TREASURER
New Members OF Council Object
And 1t Is Thought They Will
Not Approve 1t.

Following the appointment by
Mayor E. J. Tull of E. w. Veasey as
town treasurer, some discord seems
to have arisen in the City Council of
Pocomoke.
This reappointment of the old treas
urer appears to be unsatisfactory to
the newly elected members of the
council-William H. Dryden and Geo.
H. Evans. The disapproval by these
two would nullify the appointment if
the laws holds good, which says this
officer must be named "by and with
the approval of the Council"
The law further says that the
treasurer is to hold office for one
year "from the date of his appoint
ment, or until his successor shall
have been appointed and qualified"
If, therefore, Mr.. Veasey's appoint
mnt as the new treasrer has not been
duly and legally consummated, the
claim is made that, as the old treas
urer, he can serve, in the opinion of
some, until his successor legally
comes into office.
If this sizes up the situation, Mr..
Veasey can administer the duties of
an office as holdover to which the
new council claims he is not eligible
as a new appointee.
At this writing no serious compli-
cations have arisen. There is a pos
sibility of trouble in the future, how
ever, if the powers delegated to the
treasurer are denied by the Council
and his official acts repud;ated. A
hold-up of the general city business
could ensue; and, if all the members
of the ouncil stand by their present
attitude, the case may be one for the
courts to settle.
1t is to be hoped an amicable So
luton of the difficulty may be arrived
at, and that all the members of the
Council may act harmoniously for
the good of the corporation.

DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM

Following is the draft of the plat
form as presented by the resolution
committee to the Democratic National
convention, in New York city:
We, the representatives of the
Democratic party, in national conven-
ton assembled pay our profound
homage to the memory of Woodrow
Wilson. Our hearts are filled with
gratitude. that American democracy
should have produced this man,
whose spirit and influence will live
on through the ages ; and that it was
our privilege TO have coOperated with
him in the advancement of ideals of
government which will serve as an
example and inspiration for this and
future generations.
We affirm our abiding faith in
those ideals and pledge ourselves TO
take up the standard which he bore
and to strive for the full triumph of
the principles of democracy to which
he dedicated his life.
During the time which interviewed
between the Inauguration of Demo-
cratic administration on March A.,
1913, and our entrance into the World
war we placed upon the statute
books of our country more effective,
constructive and remedial legislation
than the Republican party has placed
there in generation.
During the great struggle which
followed we had a leadership that
carried America to greater heights of
honor and power and glory than she
had ever known before in her entire
b;cforu
