FusiOnists Put Out
Pamphlet Attacking
County Government

The Fusionist party has distributed
IA pamphlet this week attacking the
county administration. 1t is entitled
"Some Pertinent Questions Answered
Truthfully." The introduction to the
pamphlet is as follows:
7 Montgomery County is a noble
county, the birthplace Of famous men,
and famous movements. It's Judges
repudiated the Stamp Act. It's an
cient court records contain the names
of those courageous men who took
an oath to support the State of
Maryland and defy the King of Eng
land. Patient and long suffering I'M
der Encouragement and tyranny, it's
history shows that aroused, its citi-
zens act, and act quickly to protect
their rights and preserve their heri-
tage. Never since men rode through
mud and sleet to get signers for
their petitions Of allegiance to the
State, has the need for action been
greater. Today there is on record
in the Court House another famous
petition. For the first time in the
history Of the county, candidates for
public Office, regardless of party af-
filiation, are running on a ticket
nominated by a Petition of the Peo-
pie.
Conscious that an aroused elector-
ate, informed of it's rights, is the
only safeguard for good government,
the Fusion Party has published this
pamphlet"

whom it has taken it's name. Its

Democratic Leader Has
Made Public Answers
To FusiOnist Charge

j. Bond Smith, Chairman of the
Publicity and Speakers Committee of
the Democratic Party of Montgomery
County has made the following
statement regarding the first of the
series of pamphlets issued by the
Fusion Party of the County:
"The Democratic Party of Mont
gomery County, like the Democratic
Party in the Nation and State, is
running on it's record of accomplish
ment of which it is genuinely proud.
"The Fusion Party so-called-
composed of those Republican County
politicians who for decade have
unsuccessfully attempted to secure
lontrol of the County and few dis
appointed office seekers affiliated as
observation-disclosures that it pro-
poses this year to base it's appeals
for votes on discussions of the pub
lie record.
eff true, this will be a refreshing
change in the tactics hitherto en-
ployed by this identical group which
has in the past relied almost ex-
clusively on personal attacks of a
scurrilous nature upon Democratic
County officials and widespread mis-
representation regarding the County's
finances.
"The Democratic Party welcomes
the fullest public discussion of it's
record; but at the outset consider
able doubt arises on this point from
the exclusion from its public meet

graphically report remarks of Fusion
candidates, who preferred not to have
their statements accurately tran

County Residents
To Be Benefited
By Weekly Bus Pass
Capital Transit Company Will
Afford Montgomery Patrons
d. C. Ride Privileges

Beginning Sunday, September 80
and thereafter for an experimental
period, the weekly pass system which
has been so popular in the District of
Columbia will be made available to
the Maryland patrons Of the Capital
Transit Company, taking the place of
the interstate Communication tickets
heretofore in effect on the Beltsville-
Rockville and Cabin John rail lines
and the Washington Interurban Bus
Line. The sale of these Communication
tickets will be suspended
Interstate passes will be on sale on
all the Maryland lines of the Capital
Transit Company affected and also at
the Company's Bus Office at 1416 F
Street, N. w., beginning Friday morn
ing, September %, 1884, and on each
Friday morning preceding the week
for which passes are valid.
Special forms of both the $1.00 and
$1.25 pass now used in the District
of Columbia will be sold with coupons
attached, making them good for fare
in Maryland and between Maryland
and District of Columbia points in ad-
dition to the privileges now granted
on the lines of the Company within
the District of Columbia, at an ad-
ditional cost of 25 cents for each
Maryland zone on which the pass is
good.
The $1.O0 weekly pass with one 25-
cent Maryland coupon attached will be
good for interstate rides on all Capital
Transit rail lines and the Washington
Interurban Bus Line operated from
the District of Columbia into the
first Maryland zone, with 25 cent ad-
ditional charge for each zone used be-
yond the first. The $1.25 weekly pass
plus 25 cents per zone will be good on
the Hyattsville-Laurel Bus Line.
The pass form of transportation
will not be extended to the Edgemoor
Bus Line, the Takoma Bus Line or to
Montgomery Bus Lines.
The Capital Transit Company is
issuing this form of transportation in
order to afford to its Maryland pat
rons the unlimited ride privileges of
the pass which District of Columbia
patrons have enjoyed since December
3, 1888. The new form of transporta-
ton will not cost more than does
transportation for a similar period by
the use of the present Communication
ticket.
This new form of interstate trans
portation will be put into effect for
an experimental period of three
months and continued if it proves ac-
ceptable to the patrons and satisfac-
tory to the Company.

ICOVERNOR RITCHIE made a tao
teal mistake, in our humble opin-
ion, when he announced for another
term at Annapolis. But if the ma
jority of Marylanders believe other
wise, we must be mistaken. You
cannot say anything against his rec
ord if you are fair-minded. You can
say plenty against fifth term. Take
courage, however, no matter how the
November election turns out we will
still be Marylanders and we will
still be citizens of one of the fore
most states in the Union. Even
although we may never, in the next
generation, find so colorful and SO
capable an executive as Richie.

WHERE DO THESE enemies of
~ the "brain-trust" get that stuff
about young men and college pro-
fessors playing the dickens with the
Constitution? We will have you to
know that Thomas jefferson was
only 33 when he wrote the Deelara-
ton of independence. And he was
fairly we'll educated at that. Of
course, the Old Guard opposed him
on those grounds, but Tommy was
too clever for them. Say, did You
people know that James Madison,
widely known as the father of the
Constitution, and an ex-president
was only SO at the time of the Con-
stitutional convention in 1887? If
you didn't, you should. And fur
thermore, as Donald r. Richberg
said in an address before the Balti-
more Advertising Club recently, 1--WE
hope it will not undermine faith in
the trainers of the Constitution if it
be mentioned that of the Sc MEM
bers, 80 had college educations and
26 could properly be classified with
the college professors of today"

Kosciuszko Crew To
 Get Singular Honor
Heroic Vessel Members to Be Decorated By Polish
 Government for Saving German Ship

previously rescued Norwegian and two English ships. He was decorated twelve times by four al- lied nations for his services in the World war, and once fought off a German submarine in the Baltic.
 The rescue of the German Horst Vessel occurred near Skaggarak in the North Sea, while the kosciusz- ko was plying between New York and Gdynia. The German ship had been incapacitated and sent out a message of distress. The Poles went to her rescue and brought her master and crew of twelve safely aboard in lifeboats. When told that the German seamen wanted to abandon their ship, Cap tain Borkowski sent his chief ofii- cer and four members of his crew to the Horst Vessel in an endeavor to salvage it. ta
 Maritime law provides for the transfer of ownership of an aban- doned vessel to the line that sal- cages her, and Captain Borkowski had the Polish flag run up on the mast of the German ship. The Kosciuszko then took the Horst Vessel in tow. For twenty-four hours, they battled the heavy seas. But hole in. the bottom of the German ships hull, combined with the battering of the storm, made the Poles abandon the ship. The Polish seamen hauled down the Polish flag and returned to their vessel just four minutes before the Horst Vessel sank.
 At the time of the rescue, Cap- tain Borkowski and his crew re- ceived special commendation from Johannes Borchers, consul general

RADIO ADDRESS ON
 INDECENT FILMS
Attorney John L. Gaffney Speaks Over Watr in
 Interest of Campaign

The first of a series of broad casts in support of the Legion of Decency movement locally was made last evening over Station WATR. It was incorporated in last minute evening news flashes from the Waterbury Democrat. Attorney John L.. Gaffney was the speaker and in response to questions pro- pounded by Ray Fitzpatrick, the Democrats radio editor, outlined his reasons why the general pub lie should cooperate and register their protest against indecent films and the deliberate Haunting of morality by remaining away from the theaters when such pictures are advertised.
 Attorney Gaffney is past grand knight of Sheridan Council and as a representative of the organiza- tion spoke for the Catholic laity of the city. During the week Attor- new Max Traurig, prominently identified with a number of Jewish organizations and John A. Coe or Herbert S. Smith, will also give expression to their views on the proposed legion.
 The knights in furthering the campaign this week will cooperate with church authorities next Sun- day in obtaining pledge cards from thousands of parishoners.
 In the course of his address last evening Attorney Gaffney remark ed in part as follows: "The three agencies for the upbuilding of the morals of the youth are the home. the church and the schools. The children of today are the leaders of tomorrow. The question is whether they are being prepared for the work of tomorrow.
 Certain moving pictures inoc- ulate them with poison virus and undermine the good work the other agencies have done in up- building their morals. The reason nothing has been done before to clean up the movies is that the movie magnates have been indif- ferent. Pleas have been made to them without avail for they had come to believe that the films that appealed to the baser feelings were the best paying.
 "The solution is a new deal for American th ca er-goers. The church has pointed the way. Join the League of Decency and sign the pledge to abstain from those that show immoral pictures"
