The Story OF The
Young Republican
lie a que
BY JOHN BROWN

The first State Convention of the
Young Republican League Of Maryland
was held in Baltimore at tine headquart-
ers Of the League. The session lasted
for two days, September 5th and 9Th.
The most important business transacted
at the convention was the reorganiza-
ton of the League and the election OF
officers. The original organization Of
the League was dominated by the
Baltimore City. The convention pro-
vided in the adoption Of the new con-
stitution for the organization of the
League on the basis of Congressional
Districts. The constitution provided
that the supreme governing body Of the
League was the annual state convention
of the League. This state convention
is to be composed Of eighty eight dele
gates, two from each county in the
state and seven from each Legislative
District in Baltimore. The counties
therefore have a voting strength of forty
six votes and Baltimore City has but
forty-two.
The constitution further provides that
the executive body of the League.
subordinate only to the State conven.
tion. shall be an Inner Council compos-
ed of eighteen members. The member.
ship Of the Inner Council consists of the
President of the League, the Vice-Presi-
dent. tine Secretary, the Treasurer. the
Business Manager, the President of the
Baltimore City branch, and two Vice
Presidents from each Congressional
District. Under the new constitution
each county organization as well as
that of Baltimore City is free to direct
all its own affairs provided that nothing
is done contrary to the spirit and princi-
pies of the State organization.
The convention voted to hold its
second annual convention in June Of this
year at Ocean City, the exact time and
place to be determined by the Inner
Council. The Inner Council Of the
League is given the authority under
the constitution to make its own rules
and regulations. Among its regulations
is provision that the Inner Council
shall meet in various parts OF tbs
s ate in rotative order at such times a.
It shall determine, Tue first meeting
of the Inner Council was held in Balti

Have Tobacco Bed
Seed Tested

Cleaned and tested tobacco seed make
better plants and insures and evener

Farmers should send their tobacco
seed at once to the Seed Laboratory
at College Park for this service.
Do not wait until you are ready to
seed your beds because the working
force in the Seed Laboratory is limit
ed and they may not be able to render
quick service later in the year.

to Seed Laboratory, College Park.

fed Doctor Mueller and for the Sec
ond time read to their congregations
a manifesto demanding his resignation.
1t was up to the councils of the
churches to enforce the reichsblshop's
decree, but several of the councils de-
clared openly they would not do so.
Bishop Mueller showed some inclina.
ton to reeede from his position, but
the militant Nazi German Christian
pastors brought great pressure to bear,
telling him they would support him
only so long as he stuck by his de-
crees. The bishop also seeks to annul
all church laws passed in 1888 so he
can proclaim new ones.
Reverend Doctor Richter, who Is
highly considered by President Won
Hindenburg, declared in the Berlin
cathedral that "a storm Is brewing in
Germany--a fight between Christianity
and heathendom." In this contest,
however, Hitler appears to have much
more influence than the aged presi-
dent, who is more and more becoming
a fgurehead.

d EXCAVATIONS from the Demo-

be in order and some have already
been received. The President let 1t
be known that he did not approve Of
members Of that body opening law
Offices in Washington and apparently
trading on their supposed influence
with the administration. Robert jack
son announced his resignation as Sec
rotary and committeeman from New

he had resigned as treasurer in order to

man Of the Presidents national exeeu-

some weeks ago as member for Nom
