the present campaign, one that he is

Organizing His Hobby.
But as an organizer Senator Weller
has few equals. AS a letter writer
he has none. For years he has been
writing letters to voters in Maryland,
and he Is writing them by the thou
sands now. Whenever there has been
a wedding, or a funeral, whenever q
boy or girl won prize either in
school or on the farm for pig raising,
Senator Weller sent a personal letter
Of congratulations or sympathy. He
has classified the voters in groups,
bankers, country store-keepers, black
smiths. etc, and he sends to them
literature published by the Govern
ment which he believes will be in
teresting to them. When legislation
Is up in the Senate in which he be-
lieves they are interested he writes
to them again.
Senator Weller is a graduate of the
Naval Academy at Annapolis, class
of 1881. He left the Navy and studied
law, went into business. He gained
his first prominence in Maryland as
head Of the highway commission,
when he organized and put through
Maryland's highway development.
In 1915 he ran for governor on the

Gated that neither Mrs. Mcpherson

mary hearing for Mrs. Mcpherson,

not a State, matter. Senator Weller
Is pointing with pride to the accom-
plishments Of the Coolidge administra-
ton and asserting that he played his
part in those accomplishments. He
is popular with the business men in
Baltimore and in other parts of the
State.
Richie Turns to Poetry.
Gov. Ritchie, who has been promi.
nently mentioned as a possible noTni
nee for President in 1928, was cam
paigning out in the State when the Re-
publicans began their waterpower at
tacks on him. He treated them lightly
at first. But lately he hurried back
to Baltimore and began replying Wig
orouSly to the Republican charges.
Republicans say that the people are
paying serious attention to these
charges and becoming suspicious Of
the governor.
The governor. in a speech delivered
at Frederick, Md, replied to his crit
les in verse, using a parody on Poe's
Raven" as follows:
"And the parrot, never blinking,
Still is talking, without thinking,
On a long-eXploded subject,
All across the western shore.
And the only word he utterS-
'Conowingo' Ger he mutters-
Only this and nothing more"
But his Republican opponents came
right back at the governor with the
following verse, also a parody on "The
Raven:
And the magpie, ever prattling,
Still is chattering, never telling
What it knows of Conowingo,
Why it outlawed Baltimore,
Why the Susquehanna's power
Has become another's DOVER

Republican ticket against Emerson c.
Harrington. The Democrats were in
a factional row at the time. Harring-
ton defeated Weller by only $500
votes. They tell a story that Senator
Weller complained bitterly because
his managers insisted he should go
out into the country to deliver
speeches when he believed he could
do more by sitting in an Office and
perfecting his organization, writing
letters and comforting with leaders
great and small.
Ignores His Opponent.
At any rate that is the campaign
policy he has maintained ever since.
It is the kind Of campaign he made
when he beat Hill for the Senate
nomination. 1t is the kind of cam
paign he is now waging against
Tydings. He simply ignores the other
fellow and goes ahead organizing and
organizing. Just how effective his
campaign is will not be known conclu-
sively until election day has come and
gone. Tydings complains bitterly
against his opponent for not coming
out in the open and fighting, and
accuses Weller of instigating a
whispering campaign.
The Republicans are more hopeful
of electing Senator Weller than they
are of beating Gov. Ritchie. Their
hope is that they will be able so to
reduce Ritchie's vote, however, that
Tydings with less strength than
Richie will fall before the organizing
Weller. They take courage, too, from
the fact that many of the voters of
Maryland vote Democratic in State

Faces Charge of
Theft Fur Coat

Noel Bourque of 100 Front street
VIII be arraigned in the Waterville mII-
nicipal court tomorrow morning charg-
ed with the theft of a fur coat and an
automobile as a result of his activi-
ties in the town of Oakland last Sat
urday night. Bourque was arrested by
the police at the bakery where he
works yesterday morning and at police
headquarters he furnished bonds of
$1,000 for his appearance Tuesday.
1t is alleged that Bourque, who was
attending dance at the Grange hall
in Oakland. stole fur coat belonging
to Miss Nellie Wood of that town.
After taking the coat Bourque has adj
mitted that he walked a short distance
up Church street and came upon the
automobile owned by William NJ.
Getchell with license plates 49-717.
and that he appropriated the car and
drove to Waterville. On Cool street
the car became mired and Bouraue
left it, carrying the coat to his home
Yesterday morning the young mans
courage began to fail him and he del
egated friend to take the coat to the
police station. The arrest of Bouraue
followed shortly after the authorities
questioned the young man who had
given up the coat. Bourque's version
of the matter was that he had been
drinking and he took the coat and car
in the spirit of a lark.
