LANDON VICTORY BY TWO
TO One SEEN in GARRETT
Baltimore News Staff Writer
Gets Opinions Of County
Leaders

Garrett county, one of Maryland's
Republican strongholds, will give the
Landon-Knox ticket approximately a
2-to-1 ratio of votes over President
Roosevelt in the November election
leaders estimated recently to Ralph
]. Sybert, a staff member of the Bal
timore News-Post. The entire article,
appearing in the News-Post of last
Friday is herewith reprinted:
eff that result is achieved, as ex-
pected, it will represent a gain for
the Republicans over figures in the
general election four years ago, when
the then President Hoover carried the
county by 3,048 votes to 1882 for
Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Against Roosevelt
"Such a gain for the Landon-Knox
ticket is only to be expected this year,
when a decided anti-Roosevelt drift
is noticeable throughout Western
Maryland just as there was an anti
Hoover drift four years ago, leaders
say.
Republican leaders, including Err
nest Ray Jones, Secretary of State of
Maryland; Neil C. Fraley, chairman
of the Republican State Committee for
the county, both residents of Oakland,
and State Senator Clifford Friend,
whose home is near Accident, are
among leading figures in the cam
paign to get all eligible Republicans
registered and to sweep the county for
the Landon-Knox ticket in the election.
New Registration
Garrett is one of the two Maryland
counties which have new general
registration this fall. The first two
of the total five registration days have
been held and the results have been
satisfactory to the hackers of the Lam
don-Knox ticket.
During the first two days, 3,O15 Re-
publicans have registered, compared
to only 1,498 Democrats. This ratio
is better than to 1 and the leaders
say the ratio will be increased to two
and one-half or three to one during
the last three days.
Republican eligible voters have
registered in gratifying numbers in
all districts and only in the three min
ing centers of Kitzmiller, Vindex, and
Kempton have the Democrats showed
strength. Even in the Kitzmiller dis
trict the Republicans unregistered
Democrats by 178 to II. At Vindex
the registration was 62 Republicans
and &c Democrats, while at Kempton
it was &c Republicans and SO Demo-
Gratis.
Farmers Lead
These figures indicate that even in
the strongest Democratic sections of
the county the Republicans have near
ly an even split while they are more
than 2 to l ahead in the county as a
whole.
Contrary to a widespread belief
that Garrett county is predominantly
a mining section the miners who are
potentially voters number only about
600, compared to a total expected
registration of about 5000.
The county is predominately agri-
cultural, and, according to the leaders,
the majority of farmers of the section
are just as set against the orgy OF
spending in Washington and its conse-
quent burden of present and future
taxation, as those in other sections of
Maryland.

 The youngest or those to plead in- nocent was 19-year-old Martin Cap rilozz, Norwich, charged with con- spiracy and transportation. The court was to appoint a guardian and provide him with counsel.
 Also electing to go to trial were:

LEVIN FRIEND IS
 HELD BY POLICE
Arrest of Karl Radek Just Learned-Named as
 TrOtzky Follower

Moscow, Oct. 7.-(UP)-Karl Ra- dek, internationally known Soviet journalist and personal friend of Nicholai Lenin, has been arrested by the Soviet secret police, it was learned today from authoritative sources.
 Radek, whose stormy political career has included imprisonment, arrests and exiles under many forms of government, was named as a follower of Leon Trotsky in the re- cent trial of 16 so-called counter revolutionists" who were shot by the Stalin dictatorship.
 A brilliant, witty little man, his face trimmed by 8 fringe of beard, Radek was noted for his salty edi- torials on international affairs which took the lead position in the official newspaper. 1zvestia, each day.
 Although he has been high in the ranks of the communist party for years, his personal relations with Stalin have never been pleasant. Apparently the, Soviet dictator was never able to forget that in the early days of the revolution Ra- dek was very close to Trotzky, who became the "iron mans" bitterest enemy.

 Meanwhile police officials found themselves baffled by . clash Of theories, enc of which attributed the gruesome finds to illegal surgery and the other to actual murder.
 Medical Examiner William !. Brickley, after examining the legs said:
 Several cuts were made which were not at all useful in diEmembers ing. Of course it might have been OI11C by d OOCgOA WA1u WdS dSoC4AAAt@ ing to disguise his knowledge. It. could more likely have been the work of 8 butcher, meat cutter, or some fisherman used to cutting up large fish. Or the dismembering could even have been done by somebody who had experience in carving fowl"

 Plans were considered today for employing deep-sea diver to search the harbor bottom for clues which might enable authorities to estah- fish corpus delicti and apprehend
