FRANCE LAUNCHES CAM
PAGN FOR PRESIDENCY
Ex-senator Addresses A Large
Gathering At Mount
-, Ararat Farms

Ex-senator Joseph I. France.
who some months ago an
nounctd his candidacy for Pres
ident, on Saturday afternoon,
from a rostrum on the front
porch of his home at Mount
Ararat Farms, near Port De-
post, addressed a large assem-
blage Of persons, gathered
about the spacious lawn, be-
meath the grateful shade Of the
beautiful trees that surround
the fine old mansion house,
seats having been provided for
the accommodation of 1900
persons.
The day was an ideal one for
an outdoor gathering, and
Steinwald's Band, of Balti-
more, Elkton Band, and the
Twilight Club of Negro spirit
ual singers, were on hand to
provide musical entertain
ment. Amplifiers had been
erected so that all might hear,
and the Fox Movietone repre-
sentatives, with motion picture
apparatus, took films and rec
ords for the movie world, an
airplane appearing in the midst
of the Senator's speech to take
these records to New York.
The meeting was presided
over by J. e. Brumfield, of Ris-
ing Sun, chairman of the Re-
publican State Central Com
mittee Of Cecil County.
Preceding Senator France,
speeches were made by Mr..
Lyell RAIDER, of New York, and
Jonathan Bourne, Jr., ex-
Senator from Oregon.
Senator France paid his re-
spects to the newspapers that
had been liberal with editorial
criticism, reminding them that
it was the issues, and not the
candidate, that was of most
Importance.
He favored the repeal of the
Eighteenth Amendment, brand
ing it as a piece of vicious leg
islation, and thereby winning
the plaudits of the wet element
present. Liquidation of war
debts; a curb on Presidential
powers; revival of the 1920
concert of nations proposal
were urged; called for a repeal
of autocratic Federal statutes:
declared during the World War
we abandoned democracy and
established virtual autocracy.
He alluded to the statement
that he was opposing President
Hoover for the Presidency, and
remarked that President Hoov-
err had not yet announced him
self as a candidate and there
fore he, Senator France, was
the only candidate for Presi-
dent at this time.
The speech was an 5000
word address, with twenty
seven sub-headed topics, re-
quiring more than an hour to
deliver, and was listened to
with interest by the larger part
of the assemblage.
At it's conclusion the visitors
viewed the dairy that is con-
Quoted on the Mount Ararat

in every respect.
