PRIMARY SOON
TO DECIDE THE
PEOPLES WILL
Campaigns Have Been Waged BY
Candidates In Apparent
ly Good Will
SENATOR VEASEY NAILS
TWO-JOB PROPAGANDA

The campaigns of those seeking
nomination for office in the State and
County are fast drawing to a close.
Next Wednesday the primary elect
ions will be held and possibly enough
will be known before midnight as to
whose names will appear on the ticket
at the General Election.
So far as the state ticket is con-
cerned, indications in the county, point
to the nomination Of Albert G. Richie
and George l.. Radcliffe for the Cover
norship and U. S. Senatorship, re-
spectively. T. Alan Goldsborough and
Herbert R. O'Conor candidates for
Congress and Acknowledgement, re-
spectively, are unopposed.
For the county offices, there is a
lively competition, and it would not
be safe to predict the outcome. Many
citizens are exercising their privi-
lege, to run for office, and all have
their friends. AS stated editorially
in today's issue of the Democrat"
the candidates are waging friendly
campaign and the primary seems
bound to result in more harmony than
many in the past. Every voter has
right to make his own choice, and
there is no evidence that the electorate
has, in the past, made many grievous
mistakes. The fitness for office should
be a recommendation and the ballot
cast for the man every individual
thinks is the best.
Mach has been said, during the
present political campaign concerning
Senator Veasey's office as a member
of the Maryland General Assembly
and also at the same time being an
appointee of the Maryland State Roads
Commission.
The opinion of the Attorney General
on the point was sought, and his in
depreciation on the point of law is
set forth in the advertising columns of
today's issue of the Democrat, under
statement by Senator Veasey him
SELF
Any explanation of the matter was
thought to be unnecessary, since it
was conceded that those who placed
Senator Veasey in his position under
the Commission knew what they were
doing. But some people thought diff
ferently and their dissent was solely
for the purpose of creating political
unrest.
The published opinion of the Attor-
ney-General should settle the matter
and the opposition propaganda should
prove to be boomerang more than
anything else.

GOVERNOR RITCHlE
APPROVES REFUND
TO WORK BOATS
Will Favor Law Putting Motor
WOrkbOats On Same Basis
AS Pleasure Craft

The Democrat" is in receipt of tn
following telegram from Governor A
:. Richie, relative to the refund 0
gas tax for the motor workboats.
Annapolis, Nd,
September 5
Worcester Democrat,
Pocomoke, Md.
You are authorized to publish
the following statement from me.
Under the present law the motor
boats used for pleasure are entitled
to refund from the State gaso-
line taxes paid by them. Work
boats are not entitled under the
present law to similar refunds.
This discrimination against the
workboats does not seem to me
fair particularly when the owners
of these boats have nearly all
suffered very considerably from
the depression. Therefore if re-
elected it is my intention to rec
ommend to the next General AS
sembly legislation giving the
workboats the same right to a
refund for the gasoline taxes paid
by them such refund amounting to
four cents per gallon.
Albert C.. Richie
This will be welcome news to tn
work boats, and seems to be muc
needed piece of legislation.

knew that old man Erskine let his

counted on doing the job at exactly

Finds Improvement
In Cotton Staple

North Carolina has come to the
forefront in the production of cot
ton with a staple length Of one to
one and one-sixteenth inches, says
Glenn R. Smith, of the agricul.
tural economics department of the
North Carolina experiment station.
Growers in North Carolina have
greatly improved their staple length
and are ahead of all other States
east of the Mississippi river, he
said. This year 81 per cent of the
cotton had a staple length of one
inch or more; last year only u per
cent of the crop had such staple
quality.
Only Fl per cent of the cotton
was shorter than 1915 of an inch,
he added, while last year ~ per
cent of the lint fell short of this
staple length.
The grade of the cotton this year
is about the same as that of last
year, Smith said. Farmers have
ginned their cotton slowly and even
though the early part of the season
was wetter than usual, the cotton
was allowed to dry out before gin
ming. H.
The restricted acreage has also
given farmers more time to take
better care Of their crop and has
encouraged them to plant the bet
ter varieties so as to realize the
most possible off the land they did
have in cotton cultivation. "
Local mills prefer the longer
staple lint, he added, and North
Carolina growers will find in them
a better market this year than in
the past when staple length of their
crop was relatively short.
Previously the amount of long
staple lint was small he explained,
and the mill preferred to obtain
their cotton from other areas where
they could buy it in large quanti-
ties of even-running lots. This year
they can buy large lots of such
cotton in this State.

Growers To Decide
Fate of BankheadAct

The fate of the Bankhead Act
will be put squarely up to the
southern cotton growers in the re-
ferendum to be conducted in Dec
ember, says Dean I. o. Schaub, of
State College.
If two-thirds of the growers vote
for the act, it will be continued in
1885 on an improved and more
flexible basis, Schaub says. Other
wise, it will be discarded.
Since some form of crop control
will be necessary to ave cotton
growers from a return of ruinous
prices, he says, the adjustment con-
tracts, which were signed on a two
year basis for 1884 and 1885, will
be continued in force regardless of
the vote on the Bankhead measure.
Experiences gained during the
first years of the acts administra-
ton will enable the AAA to prepare
a more efficient and flexible me-
thod of administering the act an
other year, Schaub adds. Changes
in the policy of administering the
act are now being planned.
The allotments under the act.
if it is continued, will be somewhat
larger than this year. The contract
allotments will be around IS per-
cent larger next year, as the maxi
mum reduction that can be called
for under the contracts is Is per-
cent below the base average.
In voting on the act, Schaub
says, the grower will not be voting
for a certain allotment or tax rate,
but on the question as to whether
the secretary of agriculture shall
have the power to make allotments
and levy a tax on excess cotton.
The act does not set a fixed allot-
ment for each grower or the
amount of tax to be paid on excess
production, but empowers the Sec
rotary of agriculture to determine
the allotments and the tax by the
needs of the market.
