Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise. (Pocomoke City, Md.) 1921-1953, 1934-11-02
BIG RESPONSE
TO DEMOCRATIC
RALLY MONDAY
Hundreds Of Good Democrats
Crowd State Armory To
Hear The Speakers
CROWD ESTIMATED FROM
500 TO 700 PERSONS

The Democratic Rally held in this
city, on Tuesday evening, last, taxed
the seating capacity of the State Ar
mory to it's limit, and the number pres
ent was variously estimated to be from
500 to 700 people. Seats for all who
came were not available and many
were compelled to stand.
This outpouring augurs well for the
success Of the Democratic party next
Tuesday, and it looks now as if the
entire ticket, state and county, would
go across big. This conclusion is not
reached as a result Of the big attend
ance at the meeting on Tuesday night,
but from the consistently large gath
ings all over the county, evidencing
that the Democracy of Worcester is
thoroughly aroused as to the impor-
lance Of keeping the county in the
Democratic column, in order to en-
dorse the efforts Of President Roose-
welt in his efforts to bring the coun-
try out of the depths of the present
economic depression.
Further, it seems to be evident that
the good Democrats of this county
are getting ready to administer a re-
buke to those who have seen fit to
traduce the best citizens of this Sec
ton, and to let it be known the Re-
publican party cannot depend upon
Democratic votes to railroad their
candidates into office. Mr.. Nice has
made strenuous efforts to induce Con-
Tley mocfats to join the Republican
camp, and the leaders Of that party
have made no secret of the fact that
they depend upon the Democrats in
Worcester to elect their candidates
next week. From the response the
democrats have given to the cam
paign work during the last few weeks
they are going to stay where they be-
long.
The meeting on Tuesday evening
was presided over by DR.. John L. Ril-
ey, chairman Of the State Central Com
mittee for Worcester, and all the cam
didates were seated on the stage. Be-
sides the local men there were also
US. Senator Willard E. Tyidngs; Hon.
T. Alan Goldsborough, of the Lower
House of Congress; Daniel S. Sulli-
van, campaign manager for DR.. Con-
ley; Benjamin A. Johnson, Esq, can
didate for Chief Judge, First Judicial
District; and James M. Crockett, can
didate for Associate Judge.
State Senator from Worcester Mil
ton L. Veasey, was the first speaker
introduced by Chairman Riley and
Judging from the hearty reception
given him, there has been big change
in sentiment since the primaries and
Senator Veasey's majority will be like
the old time Democrats used to roll
up. Mr.. Veasey, in forceful speech,
set forth what the Democratic party
had done for Worcester, citing par
ticularly the Ocean City inlet and the
public roads. He expressed himself
as favoring abolishing the state tax
on real estate and stated he stood
ready to work for the benefit Of his
constituents in all matters of legisla-
ton.
U. S. Senator Tydings was the next
speaker. Mr.. Tydings reviewed the
incidents under Hoover leading up to
the depression, and counseled Worces-
ter Democrats to stand by the Presi-
dent in the coming elections. He ex-
horted the Democrats to support all
the State and county candidates, and
in his comparison Of Mr.. Richie and
Mr.. Nice clearly showed the vast SUI
periority of the former as a Chief
executive. The Senator's address was
a most eloquent effort and was heart
lily applauded.
Mr.. Daniel S. Sullivan was next in
troduced. Mr.. Sullivan, as stated
above, was the campaign manager Of
DIR. Conley. The speaker showed his
intense loyalty to the Democratic par
ty by5pledging with all Democrats to
stand by the results of the primar-
les. Fhis coming from a Conley sup
porter should show the Conleyites
their plain duty and should have a
wonderful influence in securing the
Conley vote for Mr.. Richie. This is
