F. Barnard Welsh. candidate for states

F. Barnard welsh, candidate for States
attorney, asserted.
He characterized Mai Lee as tyrant
and lauded John Culver, defeated pro-
gressive. candidate for the Democratic
nomination for county treasurer, as q
courageous man for having declared his
determination to run for political office
while holding the position Of clerk of
the Police Court.
Mai. Lee controls the county COM
missioners, dictated the policy of the
Legislature during its last session and
attempts to exercise judicial sway by
control Of the police force, Mr.. Welsh
alleged He said Maj, Lee appoints his
own chief of police, who can settle cases
before they ever come to the notice of
the States attorney"
The speaker asserted that the minutes
of the Board of County Commissioners
show that no vote on any question has
been taken in two years, and that the
reason for the unanimity of opinion
among the commissioners is caused by
the dictatorship of Maj. Lee.
"They are only his rubber stamps"
Welsh declared I'VE don't care who
they are. but we are against them and
against Lee"
Declared Inefficient.
Wilson l.. Townsend. member Of the
Republican State Central Committee,
told the audience that the Democratic
administration is inefficient. He charged
the county government with wasting
fourth of the $4,000 bond issue
for the construction of jail and be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 Of the $780,
900 county court house bond issue.
There is no provision for the current
payment on any of the county bonds,
he declared. The Republican party, he
said, is pledged to the policy Of creating
sinking funds for all bond issues.
Thomas M. Anderson, candidate for
the State Senate, also attacked the
Democratic policy on bonds. In 1919, he
claimed the total bonded Indebtedness
of the county amounted to $275,000,
while in 1890 the total debt is more
than $l3,00000O, of which amount
100000 are bonds of the Washington
Suburban Sanitary Commission.
The use of policemen as political
workers was condemned by Walter w.
Dawson, candidate for the House of
Delegates. Mr.. Dawson predicted the
Republicans would win the election In
Montgomery County with the help of
the progressive faction of the Demo-
cratic party.
Arthur D. Willard of Frederick, cam
didate for judge of the sixth judicial
circuit, and Mortimer Q. Stabler were
the speakers.

opponent for Congress.

beautifully stated the intellectual
quality of the ceramic art, the art
of pottery making This requires
considerable manual skill, even in
its earliest phases; and since pot
terry is fragile and constantly break
ing, the supply of vessels has fre-
quently to be renewed.
Intricate And Varied Patterns
The impermanence of the finish
ed product, the need for continual
manufacture, stimulates the imag-
ination. The hand and the mind of
the potter were working together
and a survey of a well-chosen and
well-arranged collection of pottery
from our Southwest, whether from
the Pueblo or the Colorado. river
cultures, will impress all with the
varied forms, the intricate and
beautiful patterns of the decora-
tions, the fascinating development
and decline of the. different styles
and methods of decoration and
form.
Awhile back / mentioned our
growing interest in the decoration
on the pottery which we are find
in at Casa Grande ruin. Sometime
all who care to see these speci-
mons will find tIarn On JiepIou Co
far, only potsherds have been found
by our party. We have a few sherds
with decorations in three and even
four colors; more with black de-
signs on white backgrounds but for
the most part the patterns are
painted in red on buff pottery
While these red designs are, so far,
all geometrical, we have already
gathered very interesting variety.
Pottery Making Profession
In the central Gila river culture
we assume that pottery was made
by the women, as it generally was
throughout the Americas. In Cen
trail America and Peru, in prehis-
toric times, pottery making ceased
TO be mere woman's work and be-
came profession, just as it is to-
day at San Ildefonso and other pu-
eblos in our Southwest.
If the women of the site we are
studying made the pottery, it is
not surprising that the designs are
geometrical and conventionalized
because almos. always the women
confined themselves TO such de-
signs. 1t was the men who made the
realistic portrayals of beasts and
birds, etc, except in the very high
est developments of decorative art;
at least so | understand it.
Basket-making came before pot
tery-making. AS in all weaving.
the warp and the woof elements
have a geometrical relationship.
They are at right angle, one to the
other. A design therefore can, in
the main, be built up only in equal
rectangular units, as Dr. Wissler
says. In basket-making diagonals
can be run only as steps; this is
hard to escape in cloth as well.
What more natural than the de-.
signs which women had long woven
into baskets should be used on pot.
