governor who will attend to the bust

I'VE should have a governor who will
quit talking states rights and spend
more time attending to the business
Of the State.
Our opponents say the way to
solve the liquor question is to let the
states handle the business. My reply
is that a state which cannot build
good roads and eliminate graft had
better keep out of the liquor bust

According to the Baltimore Sun of
Tuesday George W. Crabbe offered
to support Albert C. Richie for Gov
emor of Maryland in the next cam
paign if the Governor would back a
State Volstead act" This statement
came from the office OF Governor Ritz
chic Monday evening.
According to the Governor, Crabbe
made this proposition in writing to
Joseph D. Baker, Of Frederick, and he
explained that Mr. Baker was not a
party to the proposition. He simply
told the Governor about it.
Statement Is Answer
Governor Richie made these decla-
rations Monday in statement pre-
pared in answer to a speech delivered
by the superintendent of the Maryland
branch of the Anti-Saloon League at
Mountain Lake Park Sunday. In that
speech, quoted above, was Crabbe took
the Governor to task on sundry ques-
tions and criticized him for his atti-
tude concerning the prohibition laws
and its non-enforcement by State Of
fcials.
Governor Ritchie's statement is as
follows:
"Crabbe has been lying about me
for long time and | suppose my
patience has encouraged him, but
Crabbe was willing to stop his lies if l
would sell out by passing a State Vol
stead act and thus become tool of
his organization and put on the peo-
pie of Maryland the cost and burden
and the corruption which such an act
would mean.
"Dring the last Legislature Crabbe
made the. proposition that he and his
organization would support me for an
other term as Governor if l would
back State Volstead law saying that
in all other respects he thought | had
been an excellent Governor. He made

OF course, this was not Mr. Bakers
proposition and he was in no way
party to it. He simply passed it on to
me.
"Of course, I refused to sell out my
convictions at any price, but if I had
been willing to do it Crabbe would
have been for me today instead Of
lying about me.

EDMONSTON. Md. May 21.-
Spurred to action by the failure OF
the mayor and common council tc
properly function since the death OF
Councilman B. M. McQuin in Novem-
Der of last year. a mass meeting of the
citizens was held in the auditorium
of the local school to indorse candidates
for mayor members of the council and
treasurer TO be elected early in Novem-
Der
Since the death of Mr.. McQuin there
has been but one representative from
the second ward and the council has
been unable to agree upon any one to
fill the vacancy. The official business
of the town has been practically at a
standstill. Mayor John Zalzman and
Councilman w. T. Page, first ward,
favor the appointment of w. w. Lewis,
while Councilman w C. Weber, second
ward, and M NJ Clark, first ward, are
holding out for A. E. Bost, the towns
building inspector.
Blamed for Trouble.
The trouble over the appointment of
q successor to McQuin arises, it is
stated, over the action of the citizens
association in recommending candi-
date for the vacancy to which action
Mayor SalZman is said to have taken
exception. There is no probability OF
the vacancy being filled during the
term of the present governing body of
the town.
George Fenwick called the meeting to
order and former Mayor d. HaZen Nc
Leod was named permanent chairman.
Mrs. T. r. McDearmon was secretary.
The names of NJ. M Clark and A. f.
Bost we're placed before the aSsemblage
for Endorsement as mayor. and on a

votes to for Clark. A petition adj
dressed to the election board of super
visors was circulated through the gath
ertng and the legal number of sigma
lures to permit the placing Of candi-
dates name on the official ballot was
secured.
Others Endorsed.
Mr.. Bost was. therefore, the choice
of the mass meeting for the Office of
mayor. M M Clark was Endorsed for
councilman from the first ward and
petition containing the names of voters
indorSing Mr. Clark will be presented
10 the supervisors. w. E. Shipley and
Martin u White were Endorsed as coun-
cilmen from the second ward and the
necessary signers to petitions secured.
If these candidates are elected the
newly elected mayor and common coun-
Gil will decide which of them will serve
the two-year term and which the one
year term. The present treasurer, H.
A Eberle. who has served in that ca
pacity since the town was incorporated
in 1924. was unanimously Endorsed for
reelection.
