GOVERNOR NICE CLAIMS
CREDIT FOR REDUCTION

Maryland's present Governor and a
former one differ on the question of
which administration was responsible
for cutting the States Roads Commits
sion pay roll one-third.
Gov. Nice said it had been done by
his commission. Former Governor
Richie, in his first criticism Of the
Nice administration, said it had been
done before he left office more than a
year ago.
Gov. Nice said that the number of
employees had been reduced by 1,149
between September 80, 1884 and Sep
TENDER 80, 1885. TIL commission ap-
pointed by Governor Nice took office
May Is, 1885.
After saying, 81 have completely
acquiesced in the fact that he (Gov.
Nice) and not 1 was elected Gov. of
the State" Richie said the reduc-
ton while he was in office was 1922.
The total number shortly before he
left office, Governor Richie said.
was 1861. Shortly before the Richie
commission went out of office he went
on, it was 2,527. This was 3O5
less than the number employed by the
Nice commission on September 80,
1885. He said he was informed that
the number on December 81, 1885, was
107 more than it was when the Rit-
chic commission went out of office.
"These figures" he concluded,
9 show conclusively that Gov. Nice is
mistaken in claiming that the COM
missions pay roll has been reduced
under his administration by cutting
off 1,149 men. This reduction, and
indeed more than this-a reduction of
1852, to be exact, was made entirely

FROM OUR

FIRE AT FRAT HOUSE
AT WASHINGTON COLLEGE

The Theta Kappa NJ fraternity
chapter house at Washington College
took fire last week, on the third floor
and caused about $1,000 damage.
Most of the IL students who occu-
pied the house were at supper leaving
two bedridden with measles and their
nurse with them. The fire was not
discovered until the students returned
from dining room. 1t was located on
the third floor and by excellent work
of the Volunteer Fire Company was
gotten under control.
Students were not long in remov-
ing all the furniture and for time
much excitement prevailed because of
frozen pipes, etc. A 500-gallon tank
on one of the trucks held the fire in
check until plug near J. w. Crouch's
home could be hooked up.
The fire confined to the third floor
of the dwelling, caused damage esti-
mated at one thousand dollars. Two
students, George Pratt and lam Lin
thicum were overcome by smoke try
ing to reach the blaze with an extin-
guisher. They very soon recuperat-
ed and are suffering no i'll effects.
The two students with measles,
Robert Garrett, of Elkton, Md, and
Lee Lolan, Montclair, N. J., were
transferred to the nearby Kappa Al
pha house. Other residents of the
Theta Kappa NJ house will be housed
in dormitories while repairs are be-
ing made.
George Pratt, of Queenstown, Md,
is president of the fraternity.
There are approximately twenty
five cases of measles in the college.

many motorists had to saw off their

SMALLER AUTO TAGS
FOR STREAMLINE CARS

Next year, Maryland motorists
won't have to trim down their license
tags to make them fit the new stream

them.
Walter R. Rudy, Commissioner Of
Motor Vehicles, said last week that the
1887 tags will be two inches shorter
across and of somewhat lighter metal.

STRAW VOTE
GETS OFF TO
FLYING START
Returns in CAM a ss
Begin to Reach
Post-Press

Moguls of the campaign
turned loose the full blast
of their political artillery in
Imperial county Friday un-
der the new incentive of the
Post-Press straw ballot, first re-
turns from which began pouring
into the straw ballot election Of
flee in a volume which promised
a decided indication of how Impe-
rial county will vote Nov. 8.
At the same time additional bal
lot cards were mailed out to pre-
cinctS not yet reached by the
early poll, giving voters in other
sections Of the county their op-
portunity to express preference for
Roosevelt, Landon or Lemke in
the presidential race, for Ed w.
LAC Or Ed Sample in the con-
gressional campaign, and for Ed
ward H. Law or w. S. Dunn in
the state senate contest.
Looking to the strak ballot as
means of indicating their
strength in Imperial county, party
chieftains took full advantage of
another feature of the PoSt-PreSS,
a double column presenting both
sides of the election controversy,
contrasting columns are published
on the editorial page today.
Difficulties in tabulating ballots
by city and supervisorial divisions
were encountered when it was dis
covered that several voters had
scratched off the precinct key
from the straw ballot card, leav-
ing no definite indication what
part of the county the ballot rep
resented. PostmarkS are of no
value in determining precincts,
since there may be several pre-
cincts feeding the same postoffice.
The difficulty led to a plea from
straw ballot judges to voters to
leave the key numbers on the
cards. These numbers in no way
identify the voter-telling the
the judges only what precinct the
vote comes from.
The ballot cards are double, one
leaf for the address of the voter,
the other for the return address
and the choice of candidates. The
voters name and addresS-the only
means by which he can be iden-
titled on the cards torn off be-
fore the marked ballot is returned
to the Post-press office. Postage
is paid so the only thing required
of the voter is to mark the card
opposite the names of his favor
ite candidates, and drop it in
mail box.
