The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1930-04-17
MT. LAKE PARK

We agree that this should be a
strictly local column, but occasion
ally we like to make believe that it is
important enough to warrant a di-
erosion. Not that the result will
make a particle of difference, but we
presume that all of us are interested,
or at least curious, about the poll now
being taken on the wet and dry senti-
ment of the country by a certain
magazine.
We just want to venture the opin-
ion that all of us will be good deal
older, much greyer and a good deal
balderj before there is any material
change made in the existing amend
ment or the enforcement laws-ex-
cept to make them tighter. This pre-
diction is strengthened by the nomina-
ton of Ruth Hanna Mccormick fol
the United States Senate on the Re-
publican ticket of Illinois, she having
beaten her opponent, Deenen, by :
slashing majority. Mrs. McCormicl
notwithstanding some pulpit state
ments) is bone dry and she will run
against James Hamilton Lewis, g
soaking wet. We will wager quart
of cold water against doughnut that
she will be elected, as she will get the
heavy Republican vote in Southern IL
linois as we'll as the solid prohibition
vote there and in Chicago.
Mrs. Mccormick, daughter OF the
late noted Mark Hanna, from all re-
ports has inherited some of her faith
er's fighting blood, and if elected t.
the United States Senate she will not
only vote to prevent any modification
of the dry laws, but will be everlast-
ingly against any foreign entangle-
ments by this country, and especially
she will be opposed to entering the
World Court, a stepping stone to be-
coming a member of the League OF
Nations, which, in the opinion of many
lovers of peace, will, sooner or later,
involve us in another foreign war, of
which, God knows, we have had plenty
Word has been received at the Park
of the death of Mr.. E. l.. Stone, II,
retired business man of Wheeling, at

may justify his remaining with us
permanently.
