Dear Mrs Nicholson:
We. the undersigned members Of the

the present issue Of The Woman Demo
ust~ which you edit:
flrst-Becaose il does not represent the
sentiments Of the undersigned: being par

cratic principles
Second Because il is plainly antaeo-
uistic TO Governor Richie and William
Mines Maloy. ~ o are the only Demo-
cratic csndidstes foE Governor in the field.
Third-Because 1t appears TO be the
organ Of the so-esIled United Democratic
LsS Enforcement 0Gbs Of Maryland and
not Of The Woman's Democratic Cub OF
Montgomery County which finances its
publication.
Fourth-Because it is practically an en-
dorsemens Of small minority Of county
Democratic candidates. all Of whom We
have pledged ourselves to give an equal
and fair chance in the primaries
EIfth-Becanse We are Democratic
women. peacefully working for the good Of
our party in this county. and do not care to
be drawn into a controversy over issues
which are harmful TO the best interests Of
our organization.
We. therefore. ash that you resign as
Editor Of The Woman Democrat. 10 order
that same may be published in the inter-

PO~srless To Protest Then.

April IL. 1926.
Mr.. Charles R. White,
Forest Glen. Maryland
Dear Mr.. white
Acspy Of the printed Ieshes signed by
you and the post cards addressed TO me
which assume you circulated. both re-
ferrine to the cutting Of the trees sdjscent
20 the highway near Forest Gien- have
been brought 10 my attention
I an very soIy that you put these out
~iEbout first aSnertainins the facts. o.
sSkins ne TO % 50 foe yoa feel sure
that you have DO desire TO DO an injustice
10 The STATE Department Of Forestry. and
yet that has been the result
You understand. Of course. that What
the Department Of Forestry can do is
regulated and prescribed by law This
Law expressly limits the Departments
authority over trees which are within
the night Of way Of any public rosd.-
The Department hss neither the right DOR
the poser TO interfere With the cutting Of
trees which are outside the night Of way.
The Assistant State Forester vas Of the
opinion that the trees near Forest Glen
weEe o0tside the night Of way. and beyond
the Departments jurisdiction for that
reason The moment. however. that you
protested TO the Department. the State
Forester himself communicated with the
Potomac Electric Power Company. and
had the work stopped until he could in
vestigate.
This investigation was made through
the local State Forest Warden. the State
Inspector Of Roads and the District Road
Engineer Of the State Roads Commission.
They reported that the right Of way was 80
feet The County Commissioners then
confirmed this and certified that 80 feet
was the width.
The trees in question were outside this
night Of way. and therefore beyond the
jurisdiction Of the State Department Of
Forestry. which was and is powerIess to
protect them They were on the private
property Of Mr.. A " Proctor.
The Department Of Forestry and myself
are very keenly interested in the presef-
walton Of way-side trees and only too
ready TO protect them to the fun authority
Of the Law. Bot the Law gives Us no night
st all to interfere when. as in the present
case. the trees are outside the night Of
way.
Very truly yours,
ALBERT c RICHIE.
Governor
