DEMOCRATS AND
REPUBLICANS TO
STAGE BIG FIGHT
Elephant and Donkey Are
In Training for March
1897 Election

With the national election now his
tory, Democrats and Republicans are
turning their attention to the city
battle which will take place next
March. Both parties, it is said, will
make the election battle royal"
and it will not be surprising if the
1897 race goes down in history as
one of the most bitterly fought in
the memory Of veteran politicians.
Both parties, it is rumored, will be
well supplied with what it takes"
The campaign, incidentally, will get
an early start and high-powered pub
licity, both through the newspapers
and the radio, will feature.
Even while the national campaign
was still in prograss, city ward COM
mittees continued to hold monthly
meetings and map out plans for the
big fight. The Democratic Ward
committees especially have been very
active during recent months and are
said to have so arranged their dis
tricts so that voters will be contacted
on election day with efficiency and
dispatch. On the other hand, the
Republicans are likewise making ex-
tensive preparations to get tout a
large number Of voters to voice ap-
proval of the present administration
The Democratic Publicity Commit
tee has been active for more than q
year, Judging from the amount OF
work already accomplished. And
while they are firing their shots the
Republicans, it is said, will be ready
to retaliate. From reliable sources
it is reported they are now forming
their line of defense and will be SCI
to go at the opening bell

BALTIMORE, November 3.-Faced
with prospects of occasional showers,
Marylanders went to 1,453 polling
places today to do their bit toward
electing President and Vice Pres
ident and to name six Congressman
to represent this State during the
next two years.
Also on the ballot were three State
constitutional amendments. A few
counties are naming members Of the
State Legislature, filling vacancies
which have occurred since the 1884
general election. The next regular
election of members Of the State
Legislature is in 1888.
There were no partisan campaigns
on the three constitutional amend
ments. In Baltimore City sample
ballots sent out by both major par.
ties favored ratification of the
changes.
Maryland leaders of both major
parties issued statements claiming
victories for their respective forces.

Senator George L. Radcliffe, chief
of the Roosevelt forces, predicted the
President would receive a greater

TRAINING SCHOOL

A resolution asking the District
Commissioners to consider the sub

for the single 25-room structure re-
Gently proposed and approved by them
for the National Training School for
Girls was carried last night at the
regular meeting of the District Public
Welfare Association at the American
Red Cross national headquarters,
Seventeenth street between D and E.
The motion was made by Capt.
Rhoda Milliken of the Police Women's
Bureau in an open forum following
addresses by the two speakers of the
evening, Miss Katherine Lenroot,
chief OF the Children's Bureau of the
Department of Labor, and Miss Louise
MCGUIRE, consultant for the Social
Security Board. An amendment was
proposed to alter the resolution SIM
ply to ask the Commissioners to
reconsider the matter, as it was felt
that argument in favor of the larger
building had not been heard. Miss
Milliken declined to accept the pro-
posal, however, and the group went on
record in favor of the smaller house.
As first speaker on community re-
sponsibility for delinquent children,
Miss Lenroot stressed the Importance
Of family life" and individual at
tention. She urged smaller case loads
for social workers and pointed out the
need to get at the child before the
series of environmental experiences
which end in its compulsory appear
ance in Juvenile Court. The public
must be made aware of the problem,
she said.
Miss MCGUIRE attributed delinquency
to inequality of social status and of
inherited capabilities in a country
which confers the maximum of liberty
and the minimum of restraint. It re-
fleets q pattern Of environment, she
said. Her proposition was to get at
the base Of juvenile delinquency by
attacking community "sore spots" De-
crying the amounts spent taking chill
dren out of their homes into insti-
tutions, she suggested using the money
to aid the family and improve con-
ditionS within the home.

n ETSY ROBERTS and her
- brother, Leonard, jr., still are
a bit too young to realize it.
- but on them are centered all
the hopes of their grandfather, Harry
Thompson, 70, that the proudest ira
dition of his family will be continued.
Thompson, who was retired Sat-
urday as a copper-plate engraver for
the Coast and Geodetic Survey-a
Job in which he and his father uncle,
brother and cousin have served a
total of 1877 years-thinks Betsy is
more likely to take up the family oc-
cupation than is Leonard.
Neither Of them Is old enough yet
to decide on q life work" he said.
"but the girl shows signs OF real
talent. She's only IL, but If she
maintains her liking for drawing,
and If her ability increases, I'll put
her in art school in another five
years. That's the first step toward
becoming an engraver."
Ambition to Be Fireman"
As for the boy. Thompson, said, his
great ambition at present is to be-
come fireman.
"But," the grandfather added, "he's
only 10, and q boys interests change
a lot in q couple Of years or So"
Thompson,s father, William A.
Thompson, was the first member OF
the family to become Coast and Geo
detic Survey copper-plate engraver.
''That was back in May, 1885,"
Thompson said, "and he stayed with
the survey until his death. in July.

Daughter Photographer.
Thompson's daughter, Gertrude,
now Mrs. Leonard Roberts, inherited
one of his talents-but not the one
needed to become an engraver.
"She grew up to be photographer,
he said, land now she helps her hus-
band run a studio" /.
Although admittedly anxious to see
either Betsy or Leonard carry on the
engraving tradition, Thompson Is de-
termined not to push" them.
. Nothing would please me more than
have one or both Of them become en-
gravers," he said. "But-well. don't
believe in trying to force youngsters
into work that they don't like. If
they show any OF the old Thompson IN

tana, following reports of the dis
covery of the precious metal in the

legal blanks for the recording of
mining claims.
A rush for the hills is underway

Quality of the ore has not vet

metal have been sent to Helena for
