ing" has been almost monopolised BY
an outside orgAnisation--the taxpayers
Association.
This group together with the Munic-
ipal Association and the Law ENFORCE
ment League, endeavored to unite IN
picking a ticket composed OF canol-
dates from both parties. This was
done over the protest Of few members
Of the Municipal Association ana Win
the qualified consent Of the Law En-
forcement League, which conducted
poll Of its own and announced the
names of those who received the MAJOR
ity Of votes.
In both the Taxpayers and Muniei-
pal associations slate and the Enforce
ment Leagues poll more Republican
candidates were favored than Demo-
cratic. But from the debates at meet
ings Of the two associations 1t was eVl-
dent that the members would In many
instances not consider themselves oouno
by the ticket chosen. An imparual op-
server. attending only few OF the
meetings, could not help conclude That
the Democratic members would con.
tinue to vote the Democratic ticket ana
the Republican members the Repuoh-
can ticket, irrespective Of the recon-
mendations Of the leaders.
Republican Platform Issued.
Another unique feature Of the current
campaign was the issuance Of q county
platform by the Republicans. THIS
document, containing eight planks,. set
forth the @. o. P. aims in regard to
law and order, suburban branches OF
county ofiices, county roads, the SAM
tary and Park commissions and the
declaration of intention act. 1t Is be-
lieved to be the first printed county
platform ever issued in Prince Georges.
A few days prior to the publication
of this platform the Democratic lead
ers announced their candidates were
pledged to the separation of the police
force from the sheriff's office. The Re-
publican platform revealed that party
also favored such q change.
The Democrats failed to follow sui"
in regard to platform, but all OF their
legislative candidates signed an answer
to a QUESTIONABLE from the Municipal
Association which put them on record
in regard to several current questions.
A final factor to be consider ed In
studying the election outlook is that
the Democrats increased their majority
on the registration books from approx
mately 900 to nearly l 500 this year.
Each party has interpreted this as ia
workable to its cause.

Prompt action on the part Of e. H. AL
len, chairman Of the Fairfax County
Drought Relief Committee, and Repre-
sentative r. Walton Moore has post
poned, at least temporarily, the dis
mtSsal OF the score or more Of civilian
employees at Fort Humphreys, who had
been notified earlier in the week that
their services would not be required
after today.
Claimed Money Not Available.
Acting under orders from the War
Department TO Immediately curtail the
personnel of civilian employees and to
economize as much Is possible in hir-
ing help outside the enlisted force, the
quartermaster at Fort Humphreys sew
eral days ago informed the civilian la
borers on what is known as the extra
list that there was no money available
for paying them after this week. These
men are all residents of Fairfax Coun-
ty, many with families, some of them
having been employed on the Army post
for 10 or IL years. They are from the
class more affected by a lay-of than
the higher paid spilled mechanics who
are able to save for an emergency.
Allen Immediately got into comrnuni-
cation with Representative Moore,
stressing the Governments inconsist-
ency in laying of It's own employees in
the area admittedly seriously affected
by drought and unemployment condi-
tons while urging civilian companies to
use every possible means to hold their
workmen on their pay rolls. 1t was
stated at the post that other civilians
would probably have to be dismissed
also If the War Departments orders are
not countermanded.
