Liquor Board To
Act On Proposal
For Regulations
Uniform Beer Deposit And
Opening Of Bottles In Public
Discussed

Wholesale and retail liquor dealers
met with the Montgomery County
Control Board Monday afternoon to
discuss two proposed regulations. The
first would be the fixing of uniform
deposit for beer cases, which was
by about so per cent Of
the dealers present.
The other proposal would require
all licensees to open bottles at the
tables and in the presence of patrons.
The latter proposal is the outgrowth
of complaint that at times patrons
are not sold the particular brand of
beer requested. This proposal was
opposed by practically all the dealers
as creating TOO mach extra labor.
No definite action was taken by the
board on the matter.
At meeting of the board earlier
in the afternoon the application for
the transfer of a Glass D beer Ii
cense at Little Dutch Inn, Rockville,
from Rudolph Martin to Minnie
r. Ziska, was heard. AS there was
no opposition the transfer was au-
thorized.

vicinity. Detwiler stated that he
previously had been advised by the
State roads commission that the poles
would have to be erected beyond the
limits of the road right of way.
This ruling, he declared, in his
opinion violates a franchise granted
his company by the county in 1927
which runs for 25 years. His opinion
was concurred in by the board which
authorized the erection of poles along
the side of the highway, subject to
a further opinion by the boards coun-
sci.
The commissioners also conferred
at length with E. G. Duncan, district
supervisor for the State roads COM
mission, concerning various econom-
ical methods of construction for
county roads.

Sandy Spring Chief Now Has

Silver Spring in the contest to be
decided at the sixth annual conven-
ton Saturday.
johnson and Musgrove, who said
they would throw their support to
Brown and claimed 9 of the coumty's
Ii departments for their candidate,
declared suburban district companies
have held the presidency for many
years and the OFFICE should go to an
up-county man.
They declared that Brown is the
senior member of the Executive
Board, of which Johnson and Mus
grove also are members, and is the
logical candidate for the post. Ken
nedy formerly was chief at Silver
Spring, while Brown is chief of the
Sandy Spring department.
It was said by Browns supporters
that they have been pledged the
votes of the delegations from Be
thesda, Rockville, Takoma Park, Ken
sington, Sandy Spring, Hyattstown,
Glen Echo, Cabin John and Gathers
burg Washington Grove.
This would leave but two COM
panies, Silver Spring and Chevy
Chase, to Kennedy unless there is
some last-minute change in the race.

The Sandy Spring band will give
concert in front of the county
courthouse preceding the departure
of the Rockville caravan.
Roger Shaw, master of the art of
getting people together, says he is
confident that more people will be
seen at Kensington tomorrow night
than were ever known to attend a
public meeting in this county. There
will be grandfathers and grandmoth-
ers who remember Abraham Lin
coin. There will be mothers and ia
theirs who thought Bryan's "Cross of
Gold" the masterpiece of American
literature. There will be boys and
girls who revere the Constitution but
who are determined to help re-elect
Mr.. Roosevelt even if they have to
sing the Star-Spangled Banner to be
accepted as true disciples of Thomas
Jefferson and Andrew Jackson.
State Senator Stedman Prescott,
the boy orator from the Western
Shore, will preside. He will be flank
ed on one side by Davy Lewis, who
will probably go back to Congress,
and Herb O'Conor, Attorney-Ge ner-
al and ex-newspaper man from Bal
timore. On the other side will be
seated Willard Tydings, Maryland
great Senator from the hills of Har-
ford and Lansdale G. Sasscer, presi-
dent of the State Senate; Kent r.
Mullikin, Democratic floor leader of
the House of Delegates and others
but slightly less distinguished.
And, above all, there will be rich
and tasty slices of barbecued beef of
such SAVIOR that even Liberty Lea
guer would fall from grace long
enough to shout "hurrah for Roose-
velt."
A drum and bugle contest will be
held prior to the meeting. The con-
testants will be from Washington
and nearby counties. While the rally
is being held the grounds surround
ing the Armory will be illuminated
with red fare torches. Weather per.
hitting, firework display will be
held while the guests assemble.
This is countrywide rally spon-
sored by and participated in by all
the United Democratic Clubs in the
County.
Arrangements have been made
whereby a caravan will assemble in
each precinct in Montgomery County
After forming with torch lights
burning, the various caravans will
proceed to three concentration points
where three large caravans will
form.
Each caravan headed by band
and police escort will proceed to the
Armory. While the caravans are
assembling and parading to the
Armory, they will carry burning

Lawson Confident
Maryland Will Go
For Gov. LandOn
Bases His Prediction On Lit
erary Digest Poll; G. o. P.
On Tour

With the Literary Digest Poll, an
infallible "yard-stick" for political
forecasts in past Presidential cleo
lions, giving Governor Landon a
decided lead in the nation, William
P. Lawson, chairman of the Repub-
lican State Central Committee, is
confident that Election Day, Novem-
Der 8, will put Maryland once more
back in the Republican column.
The Maryland popular vote for a
winning President has rolled up a
generous majority every four years
except twice for generations, in each
instance bearing out accurately the
predictions inspired by the Digest
Poll. And for this reason it is felt
that the peoples choice" will be
Governor Landon.
Chairman Lawson is of the opinion
that the Federal Government as now
constituted has lost its appeal to
the unemployed and to those who
have been on relief, and he has
received assurances from hundreds
that they infinitely prefer the Gov
ernor Landon program of more jobs
and less relief to the continuation
of their present dependence upon the
bounty of their neighbors.
The chairman is not the only one
who feels that taxation can be car
ried only so far-and that the limit
was reached long ago. The burden
of relief taxation has fallen, Chair
man Lawson declares, on people who
are less able to pay the huge bill
that must be met not only by this
generation, but by generations to
come.
With the Presidential election
only about two weeks away, Mary
land is letting no stone unturned
to bring about victory. From now
until the final vote is cast sound
truck showing movies will tour the
entire State. The last three days
of this week it will tour the Eastern
Shore. of Maryland, visiting Cam
bridge, Salisbury and Berlin on
Friday and Snow Hill, Pocomoke
City, Crisfeld and Princess Anne
on Saturday.
No time has been taken out in
the First District for o. Straughn
Lloyd, in the Second for Henry c.
Whiteford, in the Third for Gen.
John Philip Hill, in the Fourth for
Daniel Ellison, in the Fifth for Ros-
coe C. Rowe and in the Sixth for
Harry w. LeGore. They have been
in POLITICAL training for weeks and
are covering every spot where they
believe there is a vote to obtain.
The Armory in Towson will be
the scene of big mass meeting on
Monday night, with the chief speak
err being Charles A. Underhill. West
minister will hold the spotlight in it,
vicinity on Thursday night, and the
speaker there, among others, will be
Edward Gray, former Congressman
from Newark, N. ]. Hagerstown
will hold a rally in its Armory also
on the same night.

IF THERE EVER was a true lib

that man was Dean Acheson. He has
hesitated between Roosevelt and Lam
don. He finally puts his ok. on
Roosevelt principally because of the
situation on foreign affairs. Every
where there seems to be acclaim for
the handling of ticklish matter by
Secretary Hull. 1t is generally
agreed, even among Republican lead
ers, that Secretary Hull has made
the strongest appeal to those Demo-
Gratis who have jumped the fence or
who have threatened to desert the
Administration for ideals which they
content conflict with the principles
set forth by George Washington and
Thomas Jefferson.

ENTHUSIASM IN ROCKVILLE
for Roosevelt and Davy Lewis seems
to be increasing every DAY. Inc
workingman, particularly, has soft
place in his heart for FRANKLIN d. On
the other hand, there are plenty OF
hign-priced automobiles bearin g
Roosevelt stickers. 1t is not altogetn-
er a class matter. Republicans are
not admitting defeat in Maryland but
they are much less vociterous than
they were several weeks ago. The
main reason for the Lewis pickup is
his health. Davy has surprised many
who had thought ne mad one foot IN
the grave. Of late he seems to be
younger and more agile than he did
as far back as 1920. He hasn't that
tlred-look and people are saying he
resembles that "old campaigner who
so nobly fought Zihlman in a G. o.
r. district when fights were fights"
But Harry LeGore is a personable
young man and makes friends easily.

It concerns the portrait Of

Cannon'S portrait hangs in the

for the likeness OF such a famous
man.
He points out that in the
Speakers lobby there are por-
traits of Speakers long since for

came to the House in 1901, he

vinced he Is one of the greatest
