PRESIDENT CALLS UPON
NATION TO GIVE THANKS
Calls Attention to Benefits De-
rived BY People Through Prov
idential Overriding

Thanksgiving will be observed
Thursday, November %, in conform
ity with the traditional proclamation,
issued by President Hoover Tuesday,
for the American people to gather in
their places of worship on that day
and render thanks for the blessings
bestowed upon them during the past
year.
The proclamation was the first Of
its kind issued by Mr.. Hoover. The
plans of the President himself for
Thanksgiving Day are quite simple.
He will worship in one Of the Quaker
meeting houses and then have a
quiet family dinner at the White
House.
The proclamation follows:
By the President of the United
States of America.
A proclamation.
At this season of the year, when
the harvest has been gathered in,
the thoughts of our forefathers
turned toward God with thanksgiving
for the blessings of plenty and pro
visions against the needs of winter.
They came by custom to look to the
chief magistrate to set apart day Of
prayer and praise, wherein their
thanks as a united people might be
given with one voice in unison. God
has greatly blessed us as nation in
the year now drawing to a close. The
earth has yielded an abundant harvest
in most parts of our country. The
fruits of industry have been Of un-
exampled quantity and value. Both
capital and labor have enjoyed an eX-
ceptional prosperity.
Assurance Of peace, at home and
abroad, have been strengthened and
enlarged. Progress has been made in
provision against preventable disas-
tiers from flood and pestilence. En-
lightenment has grown apace in new
revelations of scientific truth and in
diffusion of knowledge. Educational
opportunities have steadily enlarged.
Endurance advances have been gained
in the protection of the public health,
Childhood is measurably more secure.
New experiences and new knowledge
in many fields have been recorded
from which a deeper wisdom may
grow We should accept these bless
ings with resolutions to devote them
to service to Almighty God.
Now, therefore, l. Herbert Hoover,
president of the United States of
America, do appoint and set aside
Thursday the wenty-eighth day of
November, as day of national
thanksgiving, and do recommend that
all our people on that day rest from
their daily work, that they should eX-
tend to others less fortunately placed,
a share in their abundance, and that
they gather at their accustomed pla-
ces of worship, there to render up
thanks to Almighty God for his
many blessings upon them for his
forbearance and goodness.
In witness whereof, l have here
unto set my hand and caused to be
affixed the great seal Of the United
States.
Done at the city Of Washington,
this fifth day of November, in the
year of our Lord one thousand nine
hundred and twenty nine, and of the
independence Of the United States,
the one hundred and tifty-fourth.

Broening Visits Counties

That Mayor Broening is eager to
make his home in the Executive Man
sion at Annapolis after January /,
1881, is unmistakable. For several
months he has been making pilgrim
ages into the counties and addressing
meetings wherever possible. 1t is said
Mayor Broening has made alignments
with a number Of county leaders in
an effort to spread the Bloomington
Governor boom outside Of the city.
The majority of the county Repub-
lican leaders are said to be maintain
ing a neutral stand, waiting for word
from headquarters before openly
pledging their support.

Richie Strong There

1t is pointed out that Mr., Robb
would have the advantage of coming
from section Of the State where
Governor Richie is concedly strong.
If the normal Democratic majority in
Baltimore city is to be offset by the
county vote, it is necessary to pro-
duce Republican candidate who will
be able to make inroads upon Governor
Ritchie's popularity in Western Mary

tends to seek a fourth term), which is
normally Republican, advocates Of a
county candidate say.
The attitude Of the State leaders to-
ward the Broening or any other can
didacy for Republican nominations
has not been revealed. 1t is said that
Mr.. TAFT and Senator Goldsborougn
believe it is too early for them to
commit themselves to any aspirant
and that the party should spend sew
eral months in bringing about har-
mony and building up the organiza-
ton

DAVID A. ROBB GROOMS
SELF FOR COVERNORSHIP
CumberIander Says Only Desire
Is For Law Enforcement and
Clean Administration in State

Although he is not ready to make
any announcement, former State Sen
ator David A. Robb, militant dry, of
Allegany county, is preparing to seek
the Republican Gubernatorial nomi-
nation, it was learned on good author
ity Friday, is the news broadcasted
from Baltimore following a visit made
to that city by Mr.. Robb last week.
My only desire" Mr.. Robb is quot
ed as saying, ''is that the Republican
party shall take definite stand for
law enforcement and honest admins
tration of State affairs and that who
ever the Republican party may nomi-
nate for Governor will administer the
States affairs in the interest of the
citizens instead of allowing political
expediency to control, as has been the
case during this administration.
Denies Writing Leaders
Mr.. Robb denied that he had written
to Senator Goldsborough, titular head
of the Republicans in the State, or to
Galen L. TAFT, Collector of Internal
Revenue, and chairman of the Repub-
lican State Central Committee, to OBJ
tain backing before his candidacy was
formally announced.
Senator Goldsborough and Mr.. TAFT
declined to comment on the report that
Mr. Robb had planned to run, and they
refused to state what position they
would take toward his candidacy.
Mr.. Robb's assertion that he be-
lieved the Republicans should nomi-
nate candidate who would take def
mite stand for claw enforcement" was
regarded as a bid for attention to his
record in the Senate in 1922 and 1924,
when he fought unsuccessfully for a
State enforcement act.
Might Get Church Backing
1t is believed that the Allegany
countian would make a strong showing
in the counties because of his dry posi-
ton, thus securing the endorsement OF
the church group and others who have
argued for State prohibition meas
ure during the Richie administra-
ton.
In contrast to Mr.. Robb is Mayor
Broening, who generally has been re-
garded as a wet, but who, according
to his friends, may run for Governor
as Constituencies, that is, as be-
ing in favor of enforcement Of the
Constitution, including the Eighteenth
Amendment.
Many Republicans in the State hold
that Mayor Broening would be unable
to deliver the county vote as would a
county man. That is one Of the strong
est claims Mr.. Robb's supporters have
put forth in explaining his ability as
a potential Yote-getter.

Il watched King Eagle after Jack one
day and I certainly thought that Jacks

three bushes some distance away and
Jack headed for those bushes. King

Jack lodged"
Peter nodded his head approvingly

King Eagle wheeled almost as quickly
as Jack lodged and was after him again.
That thing happened two or three
times" continued Wanderer. Each

Peter eagerly.
