t. ALAN GOLDsBOROUGH SEEN
AS VICTOR FOR CONGRESS !.

Reports coming from the Eastern
Shore indicate that the people of
that section of the state are not
for saleA
AS soon as it was brazenly stated
that the lawless liquor element of
Baltimore was raising huge fund
for the purpose of purchasing the
Eastern Shore vote and sending 6
wet man to Congress, resentment
was seen on all sides. Mr.. Upshur
has been open in making it known
that he was being furnished money
from Baltimore City to carry on his
campaign. He has learned that the
news columns of the newspapers are
not for sale. We have noticed that
practically every newspaper worth
while on the whole shore is out
spoken for Mr.. Goldsborough.
The vets pretend that they would
obey the law if referendum were
held and resulted in vote favorable
to prohibition. Their action in both
the First and Sixth Districts show
that they are not sincere in this
statement. Over and over again
has the Eastern Shore and every
county in it voiced it's sentiment
against the lawless liquor traffic
The vets were never satisfied to
accept any referendum that has been
held. They are making fight on
Mr. Goldsborough now for no other
reason than that he has chosen to
represent the people, his district,
instead of the underworld of Balti-
more City. Mr.. Upshur, financed
by the wet interests of Baltimore
City, would make a sorry spectacle
for the sober, law-abiding Eastern
Shoreman. He would get nowhere
with the vast majority in Congress
against him. 1t is freely predicted
that he will not carry a single
county, nor a single district, in the
whole shore. Let this referendum
be an overwhelming reputation of
the lawless liquor traffic and tho.
attempt on the part of it's leaders
to corrupt the electorate of the
lshore-American Issue.

The Supreme Court of the United
States has set the date of Monday,
October 4, for. hearing the suit
brought by the Massachusetts State
Grange agains the attorney general,
secretary of state and commissioner
of education of Massachusetts, to
restrain these officers of the common
wealth from enforcing the Daylight
Saving law, which is local statute
in Massachusetts and which the
Grange contends lis a violation of the
Standard Time act of the United
States. This is one of the most
interesting cases that has been be-
fore the United States Supreme
Court in long time, due to the fact
that not only Massachusetts, but
many other states and parts of
states, are involved in the con-
troversy over the legality OF Day
light Saving. put into effect during
the summer season of each year.

HIGHEST PRICED LAUGHS COST
LITTLE TO ENJOY


That sounds funny-but it's no
joke-the sober truth is that the
fifteen big colored comics every
| Sunday in the New York American
are created by the highest paid
cartoonists in the country who
generate enough high-powered laugh
ter every week for fifteen comedy
films or musical comedies-all the
big favorites are there Bringing
up Father, Little Jimmy, Barney
Google and Spark Plug, Tillie the
Toiler, the Katzenjammer Kids,
Happy Hooligan, Boob McNut, Toots
and Casper and many others. They
are high-priced because they are
the best, the funniest obtainable-
they cost little because everybody
reads them and they are only a
fraction of the big value you get
every Sunday in the New York
American.
You willNwant to read that stirring
novel, 1.-The Mystery of the Jade
Cuff-links" by John Hammond in
which high society and the under
world of London are brought into
contact through a wierd succession
of events-a great story webbed
with appealing romance
With these and SO many other
fascinating features, it's no wonder
you often find the Sunday New York
American sold out. Better tell your
dealer to reserve your copy every
Sunday-if he does not carry the
American-just send in his name;
we will arrange so he will have it
for you.

LEAKY SKIES DAMAGED THE
CROPS

Crops in Maryland sustained in
jury during August, according to g
statement given out by John
IS. Dennee, Federal crop statistician
of maryland. Rain fell in copious
quantities over all the State between
the 18th and Gath, varying at times
from drip to deluge. In more
or less degree maturing fruits
particularly peaches, were damaged
as also were catalogues, hay, grair
in shock, tomatoes, and in some sec
tions tobacco and early corn.
Farmers especially stress the dam
age to wheat and oats in shock
and to tomatoes by scalding on the
Frustrated vines in the hot sun
shine which followed close on tho
heels of the long wet spell.
Late corn and late potatoes bene
fitted. Pasture and grasses were re
vived and are looking good, says
the Statistician. But the heavy
rains were very hard on tomatoes
prostrating the vines, and only &
light yield rs looked for. Tobacco
crop is spotty- many good fields
and not a few poor ones. Cutting
of early tobacco is progressing ir
the counties of Charles and st
Marys. And blowing for fall wheat
is about half accomplished in some
parts of the State.

ONLY TWO COUNTY JAILS RATED
FIRST CLASS

Only two county jails in Maryland
are considered in first-class condition,
according to an annual inspection re-
port made by Stuart S. Janney, Di-
rector of Welfare. These are the AL
Iegany County Jail at Cumberland
and the Baltimore County Jail at
Towson.
Last year four. jails received the
SAP, or first-class rating. The insti-
buttons which have fallen from first
class since the last inspection are
those at Snow Hill, Worshester coun-
ty, and Prince Frederick, Calvert
county.
The only other downward change
of rating noted in the report was in
the case of Hartford county, where
the institution was given &C" grade
as compared with "B" last year.
The Anne Arundel, Prince Georges
and Montgomery county jails show
ed sufficient improvement of their
equipment, sanitary conditions and
supervision to advance to higher
claSSlhcatlOnS.
Only two remain in the ID" or
lowest class. These are at Ellicott
Sity, Howard county, and Chester
town, Kent county.
Ina summary of his report, which
has been submitted to the Board of
Welfare, Mr.. Janney said:
1T is interesting to note that i'm
provement has been made in the sani-
tary conditions and management of
the jails in a number of instances
since the last report. In other in
stances no improvement is noted,
though l am informed that in a num-
Der of counties where structural de-
fects in jails are discouring to much
improvement, plans are afoot for the
construction of new buildings, the
authorization of which must, how
ever, await action by the Legislature.

FRIDAY, SEPT. 10, 1926

Tuesday next, 18th inst, is Pri-
mary Election Day, with such an
array of candidates in the field for
the local offices as has never been
known since the enactment of the
Primary Election Law. So many to
select from, in fact, that it will be
no easy problem for the voter to
mark his ticket
On the Democratic ticket there
are contests for nearly every office,
from the Governor down, but the
Republican side of the house does
not show so many contesting
candidates.
In the Statewide fight Governor
Richie, Democrat, is opposed by
VIM. Mines Maloy, who has been
conducting a vigorous campaign,
without letup. With the Governor
strongly entrenched behind his two
terms, the outcome of Mr.. Maloy's
campaign will be watched with
interest.
For the United States Senate
there is no contest on the Democatic
ticket.
For Congress, T. Alan Colds
borough, present incumbent, is op
posed by Franklin Upshur, of Wor-
cester county, who started out with
a lot of noise on wet platform, but
soon found it was not popular, and
since has been trying with little
apparent success to find some other
issue by which he could win votes
from Mr.. Goldsborough, who has a
splendid record in Congress and is
popular in his District.
On the Legislative ticket the
Democrats have three candidates for
the State Senate, from which to
choose one member, and eight for. the
House of Delegates, from which to
select three.
And when it comes to the county
Offices, the list of candidates is such
a lengthy one as to be not only
confusing but almost appalling.
The bitterest fight on the Repub-
lican ticket has been waging about
the U. S. Senatorship, with o. E.
Weller, present incumbent, opposed
by John Philip Hill.
Both the candidate are wet, only
: Hill, is wettest. In reality this is
the only claim Hill has. He is SO
wet he never loses an, opportunity
to boast about it, or to discredit the
constitutional law that he is sworn
as public official to uphold. HILLS
whole attitude in Congress has been
such as to discredit himself, and he
has nothing to recommend him fol
the U. S. Senate.
In the Republican Gubernatorial
contest Marion r. Humphreys, OF
Wicomico county, is opposed by
Addison E. Mullikin, OF Baltimore
city. The political wiseacres are
picking the Eastern Shore man as
the probable winner of the nomi
nation. but political prophesying is a
difficult and dangerous game.
On the Republican county ticket
the Offices of Clerk of the Court.
Register of Wills, County Commits
sioner and Sheriff are all beir G
warmly contested, and the different
predictions as to the winners are
just about as numerous as the can
didates themselves.
You may be able to name the
winners. but it will be an easier
job whel the votes have all been
counted.
