attorneys, returning from the an

considerable time today discussing

torial election with an Eastern
shore jurist heading the ticket.
Judge Robert r. Duer, Of Princess
Anne. member Of the first judicial
circuit, was said to be Mr.. Weiler's
choice.
This information was conveyed to
eiie lawyers attending the convenr
ton by q prominent Republican
member Of the Baltimore bar, direct
from Weller. The former Senator,
It was said, has his plans prepared
IL combat any attempt by other
Republicans, notably Mayor Broen-
ing and Albert G. Towers, who mas
been mentioned as a potential Re-
pubIican nominee, to obtain con-
troll of the State convention.
Feels Certain
Weller, it was said, feels positive
ha will control the majority vote
Of the convention early next sum-
Y11er. It also was pointed out that
the entrance OF Senator Colds
borough into the dispute over the
erection OF q garage at st. Paul
and Saratoga Streets, near Old st.
PauTs Protestant Episcopal Church,
held political significance.
Senator Goldsborough, In fighting
the ordinance in the City Council
authorizing the construction of the
garage, is taking q stand directly
opposed to that OF Edward q.

sc the Twenty-eighth ward and
lieutenant of the late Roland r.

BrOening's Position
with the entrance Of Senator
Peterborough into the fight how
ever, Mayor Broening ID placed IN
b position where he will endanger
the political friendship OF either
Hargest or Goldsborough, OBJ
servers said.
Speculation over the possibilities
of WelIer's return to active politics
led to other political discussions
anaonx leaders OF the State bar. The
possibility Of Governor Richie
seeking q fourth term led 70 the
mention Of former Judge William
walsh, OF Allegany couRty. as the
Democratic candidate for Attorney
General. The Governor, 1t was said,
would like Mr.. Walsh on the ticket
De he IL nominated again.
The names of Robert Carman,
former United States District AT.
torney, and Herbert r. O'Conor,
states Attorney for Baltimore, also
were mentioned in connection with
the Attorney. Generalship. Discus
sion of Governor Richie for an
other term revealed little sentiment
among the attorneys. The majority
believed he would step aside for
some other candidate.
Richie Not Eliminated
Although Governor Richie was
not eliminated, Chief Judge Samuel
K. Dennis, of the Supreme Bench
Of Baltimore, was more eagerly
discussed as the next Democratic
nominee than any other candidate.
David G. Mcintosh, president Of
the State Senate, who, like Judge
Duer, attended the convention, also
was mentioned as a prominent
candidate for the Democratic noni.

even though he finally agreed to give
it to the committees counsel, Law
yers Howard and Armstrong.
During the Hall hearing the old
Senate chamber, in which the COM
mittee met, was crowded with spec
tators, and it was plain that the
spectators sympathized with Hall,
who had been dragged to Annapolis,
some probably thought, to keep him
quiet about the roads scandal.
1t was Speaker Lee who had de-
manded through the papers that Hall
be summoned but once there he was
not questioned at all by the Speaker.
Now hear that Hall is to be called
again and that some of the committee
may try to get him into such a jam
that he can be cited for contempt
In such case the proceedings should
be worth observing.
Governor Moves
To Gust Melbourne
At last the Governor has moved
to GUST State Auditor Melbourne by
framing a bill to reorganize the Office
and require that the incumbent be a
certified public accountant. This is
another case Of locking the stable
door after the horse has been stolen,
policy conspicuous in the roads
case. The Governor knew that Mil
bourne was not an accountant when
he first named him at the insistence
of Brooke Lee who is so vitality inter
ested in getting places on the State
payroll for his followers.
At the Lee demand the Governor
pushes Milbourne up and at the pub
lie cutlery after the roads stealings
he takes him down. 1t is no fault Of
Milbourne that the Governor named
him in the first place. 1t is the fault
have been running the State machine.
hear some of Milbourne's subordi-
mates are so sore over the Governors
move that they threaten to make pub
lie some Of the irregularities they
found in State offices and about which
the public has not yet been told. So
won't that be nice?
By the way, l understand that I'M
der the new bill the Governors own
office will be audited. Not bad idea.
Should have been done long ago.

Mr.. CobIentz Denies
Announcing Candidacy

Announcing SdHC!uLGg
Emory L. Coblentz gives notice
through the columns of his home
town paper, the Middletown Register,
that there is no foundation for pub
lished story to the effect that he has
announced his candidacy for the
Democratic nomination for Governor
next year. | was certain that Mr..
Coblentz had made no such announce
ment at this early date though the
field is now open to everyone through,
the breakdown of the Richie candi-
dacy.
Mr.. Coblentz is not inclined to rush
in and l take it for granted that he
will not announce himself until he is
assured of formidable support. He
is not the sort of man to chase
rainbow.
Furthermore l note that the Fred
erick Citizen, the Richie machine
paper of Frederick County, has now
deserted Mr. Coblentz for the time
being and begun to boost Speaker
Brooke Lee. The editor of the Citi-
zen has become somewhat bewitched
by the doings Of the Speaker in the
roads inquiry and has come to the
conclusion that Lee is the logical can
didate for Governor next year. In
| deed the Citizen seems enthusiastic
on the subject but we have not heard
of any such enthusiasm elsewhere.
In fact some seem to think the init
nation of the Lee candidacy huge
joke inasmuch as the Speaker of the
House is closely allied with the
Governor The latter is now in i'm
paired political standing and | can
not see that anyone who is close to
him can make the grade next year.
Many voters are opposed to another
loose leaf administration, | am con-
WINGED, judging by what l hear.
The Women Politicians
Get Small Places
Some of our intelligent editors have
become very much excited on hearing
that some of the places on the Legis-
lative payroll at Annapolis have been
given to women and particularly
women from Baltimore City.
| fail to get excited. Women have
been on the Legislative payroll ever
since typewriters came into general
use and now that women are voting
it would be good thing to have more
of them on the payroll. Probably
some of the men should have political
jobs but the Ninteenth Amendment
changed things around bit.
The men politicians would like to
keep all the jobs for themselves.
They are selfish. say let the women
I've lookin. And my guess is that
~ one Of the women on the Legis-
lative payroll is a bootlegger or a
bookmaker.
Those New Jobs
Proposed for the Counties
An alert lady correspondent calls
my attention to the Bouchelle bill
which provides for 25 clerks and as
sitant clerks in the counties to issue
automobile licenses. The clerks would
get $1,000 a year and the assistants
$1,800. l do not know who is to ell
lect these clerks unless it be the local
clerks of courts aided and abated by
their bosses. There are some who
think there is too much inconvenience

CHAPTER g PEGGY FINDS A FRIEND

The sheriff's words brought home to Peggy the seriousness of the situation. She visualized confine- Inent in a cell and saw hope of gaining her uncle's fortune vanish at the. end of her first hour away from the lodge.

 Wildly" repeated Sheriff Beach sarcastically. No, not wildly, Miss Prescott; you can't claim that, for you hit your mark even in poor light" His eyes dropped to Stan tons blood-stained shirt. By the way, where's your gun?'
 Peggy stared dazedly around. Where had she put the automatic pistol?
 Its here somewhere" she in sisted. Tt must be. for I dropped it when came to him."
 She draw out a handkerchief and, stepping down, spread it over the dead face.
 "Oh, he must not lie here like this. Gan you not, in common de- cency, take Lieutenant Stanton to a bedroom?"

 We're early enough" the sheriff grunted
 T can't waste time" Obadiah re- torted firmly, and Peggy bright ened.
 Perhaps there was a chance of getting back to Yew Lodge within an hour.
 Soon the sheriff brought the car to a full stop before an old colon- ial mansion. Peggy glanced at her watch as Obadiah sprung out and summoned the judge. They had taken less than half an hour. Oba- diahs comment had had it's effect, and she was grateful.
 As Judge Fisher came out, Oba- diah held open the door of the car and the judge entered with a bewildered expression.
 We can talk as we go,' Obadiah explained.
 This is Miss Peggy Prescott, niece of Herbert Prescott of Yew Lodge" Obadiah explained tersely. Ed Stanton of Sharon broke into Yew Lodge early this morning and thinking him burglar, she shot and killed him."
 Peggy on the front seat caught Judge Fishers startled exclamation but heard no more as they drew up in front of the jail.
 Judge Fisher followed Obadiah out of the car in a more leisurely manner and stopped at Peggy's side.
 This is all very astounding" he said, lowing gravely as he met her tragic eyes.
 He turned 50 as to include Sher- if Beach in the conversation as the latter came around the car.

How to o bt ain M ore Miles
 Per Gallon
Follow These Suggestions and Watch Your Fuel
 Expenses Shrink

Millions Of dollars could be saved annually by the automobile-owned public, through more strict ob- servance of the factors that con- trol the gasoline mileage offered by the average automobile, it is revealed in a survey on fuel econ omy recently completed by the Chevrolet Motor Company, repre- ented in Juneau by Connors Motor Company.
 A gain of from two to five miles on the gallon of gas could be eff fected, on the average, it was shown, if the motorist paid strict attention to the elements that gov ern fuel consumption. The majority of items to be watched are rather obvious to the average automobile owner, but through an inadequate appreciation of their importance are commonly overlooked
 The survey sets down specifical- ly number of factors, which, II observed, should materially increase your mileage. They are:
 1. When standing or waiting for the light to change, don't race your motor.
 2. When you are to make stop of more than a minute, turn off your motor.
 3. Don't drive at excessive speeds unless the occasion demands. High speed travelling burns more gas.
 4. Remember that the faster you drive the more gas you consume. So when you find that you are about out of gas and are heading for a gas station, take it slowly and your chances for negotiating the distance will be greater.
 5. When starting watch the choke. Don't drive with the choke out a moment more than necessary.
 6. Be sure that your brakes are not dragging. This cuts down your

 T. Have your valves ground when they need it.

 II. Watch gas line for leaks at joints. Check is periodically to see that fittings are tight.
