MRS. McCORMICK'S ATTITUDE
(Chicago Daily Ne10s)

Ruth Hanna Mccormick, ostensibly
convinced dry, was chosen as dry by the
Republicans of Illinois to be their party
candidate Her recent announcement that
in her official capacity she will turn wet
if elected to the senate provided an adj
visory vote in opposition to prohibition is
cast in the state at the November cleo
ton is regarded generally by the public
as an amazing display of political frivolity.
Tt is taken as a confession that dry or
wet is to the distinguished lady matter
of expediency. So far as now appears she
has no intention of trying to influence the
vote on the referendum by which she
pledges herself to be bound. Why Is this?
Mrs. Mccormick presumably wishes to
be regarded as practical politician, since
on occasion she has applied that term to
herself. At best it is a bleak renoWn which
may be attained by the easy voluntary adj
justment of ones official views to an al
legged mandate showing no trace of party
authority and no actual proof that it ex-
presses the majority sentiment in the
state. Such action is SO far from consti-
tuting display of leadership that it cam
not escape the appearance Of mere Office
seeking servility.
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1930-09-01

This nation cannot advance if it exalts
hunger for official honors above militant
leadership. If prohibition is to be the issue
in the present senatorial contest in Illi-
nois it should be presented intelligently
and fairly in its various aspects by the
several candidates and their respective
supporters. The puerile device of substitu-
ting referendum for clear-cut issue,
elaborate evasion for open appeal to the
reasoning faculties of the voters and meek
acquiescence in any verdict that may
trickle out of the public's more or less
uncertain state of mind for display of
fighting spirit aroused on behalf of a def
mite program, constitutes nothing less
than abdication of the post of leader. Mrs.
McCorrnick's political advisers have done
her a great disserVice.

OLD BREWERY INTERESTS FINANCING FIGHT

Mr. Julian Goldman, counsel for the Association
Against the Prohibition Amendment, attended din
ner of the AUTHORIZATION League in London In a
report of that organization he is quoted lament
ing his country's plight under prohibition, as fol-

nation of the world. In a company of free men and
women, it is difficult for serf to speak"
Yes, the tables have turned. The outlawed brewery
barons of yesterear are the SerfS today in the United
States, and American free men and women intend to
keep them so. They are determined that the Trojan
Horse of the national Association Against Prohibi-
ton shall not smuggle them through the gates and

strategists have planned. To the public they pousy

HOSPITALITY

I went TO Bugtown-by-the-Dump,
where had spent my childhood days;

to loaf around and muse on vanished

around for mile on mile. And then the
village band appeared before the inn,
with flfes and drums, and started play
ing music weird, such as THE Con-
quering Hero Comes" There was a
knock upon my door, and when swung
the portal wide, committeeman, some
six or four, came in, and would not be
denied. "The town Is happy" they ex-

Special Dispatch to The Star.
MANASSAS, Va, March 27.-A COM
plete reversal by several members Of
the Prince william County board Of
supervisors when voting on road prof.
ect yesterday brought CONSERVATION
into the ranks of citizens attending the
meeting as well as members Of the
Loudoun County board Of supervisors
who were present.
The meeting was the monthly session
of the county supervisors and the road
matter was brought up to have the
board memorabilia the State Highway
Commission with reference to definite
route of IA miles of additional mileage
to be added to the State highway sys-
tenn in Prince William County.
LOudOun on Route.
The board of supervisors of Loudoun
County went on record on Monday
favoring a location of the Prince VIII
liam addition from the Loudoun line
through Catharpin and had been in
formed that this route would be voted
on by the Prince William supervisors.
The route involved would be an ex-
tension of route 81 from the Washing
IL ..assas, Catharpin, Hickory Grove
ana on to the Loudoun line at Lee Jack
son highway.
Instead Of favoring a definite route
the Prince William supervisors voted
that in the interest of harmony the
matter would be referred to the State
Highway Commission for determination
and final action and promised to CO.
operate with the commission.
Alleged No Purpose Served.
Inasmuch as final action is up to the
State Highway Commission anyway
citizens felt that the action of the
supervisors served no purpose whatever.
D. E. Earhart of the Brentsville dis
trict voted against the resolution and
favored a request for a definite routing.
Supervisors voting for the motion set
ting out no opinion from the board
were j. L. Dawson, Occoquan district;
C. r. Earhart, Coles district; j. w.
Merchant, Dumfries; Rolfe Robertson,
Gainesville district, and James r. Lar

UPPER MARLBORO, Md, March 81

Shreve Keys, who is q delegate from

also a candidate for the assessors po-
sition.

ated over the merits of nearly score
of candidates. The matter was dis
cussed by the committee Saturday, when

Sioner. It was decided to leave final

tions Of the central committee.
Active IN Politics.

Democratic politics. Baxter, who lives
near Mitchellville, is a former store
keeper. He was appointed transfer clerk
about two years ago to succeed Charles
Wilson. The transfer work has brought
HIM in close contact with the assessor
Office and this experience is believed to
have led Democratic chieftains to re-
gard him as well qualified for the
position.
Keys was elected to the State LegiS-
lature in 1925. He is a former con-
tractor and builder, and has resided In
Prince Georges County about "a years.
