212,OOO Telephones Now
Serve Users In Maryland

Telephones in Maryland have in
creased nearly twice as fast in thirty
five years as have telephones in the
United States. Maryland is now serv-
ed by more than $4,000 telephones
operated by the Chesapeake and Po-
tomac Telephone Company of Balti-
more City as compared with 6,278 in
1900, which is about thirty-four times
the number then in service. During
the same period telephones in the
United States have increased from
100000 to 100000, according to
the current telephone almanac now
being distributed to telephone users
in Maryland and other states of the
Union.
Establishment of the first telephone
central office in Maryland at Balti-
more, January 1, 1879 is the first
item appearing in the January Sec
ton of the new telephone almanac
now being distributed to Maryland
telephone users.
From this first telephone exchange
has come the present extensive
system comprising 18 central offit es
from which are operated 10000
telephones serving greater Baltimore.
Also, this exchange was the fore
runner of the 1873 central offices serv-
ing every section of Maryland and
connecting by network of long dis
lance lines with telephones in the
United States and more than sixty
foreign countries.

recently won recognition through the
enactment of the Mead 40 hour week
law for postal employees. He is an
ardent "New Dealer" and has sup
ported every reform measure of the
administration. A bitter anti-prohibi-
zionist, he never varied his stand on
the "dry" question. He also won pop
ular approval with the Mead Air
Mail law.
T. Ormond Nichols, Washington
and Chevy Chase lawyer, will act as
POSTMASTER. Andrew Jackson (Cy)
Cummings, we'll known to every
Montgomery Countian, will give a
short pep-talk.
The price of the tickets will be
$3.50 per plate and of this amount
$1.50 will be used to defray the
expense of a five course dinner of
a delectibility that will make it equal
to any banquet dish in the nation.
The remainder of this amount will
be promptly forwarded to the Demo
cratic National Committee as con-
tribution to the war chest of the
1886 Democratic presidential cam
paign.
The feature of the evening will
be a personal message from Presi-
dent Roosevelt, whose radio person
ality would have made him the num-
Der one attraction over the ether if
he were only private citizen.
The Presidents message will come
on the air at 10 P. M. and will be
simultaneously received at all Jack
son Day Dinners. Arrangements
have been made with j. R. Enright,
of Rockville, to install adequate re-
ception and simplifying facilities SO
those in attendance may be assured
of hearing every word of what is
expected to be the keynote message
of a campaign that will carry on to
a successful conclusion in November
A short musical program suitable
to the occasion will be given by
some local talent of ability and note
following the Presidents address
and will include medley of new
songs dedicated to the leadership of
the President.
j. Somervell Dawson, Jr., Rockville,
who heads the ticket committee
stated that tickets were going fast
and asked that those desiring to
attend the dinner who have not com
municated with him or some member
of the committee should do so at
once as space is limited and there
will be no tickets sold after January
sixth. Since it is absolutely neces
sary that the exact number of diners
be known before the eighth of JAM
uary in order that definite seating
arrangements can be made Demo
Gratis are asked to take note of the
fact that there will be no tickets
sold at the door and the dead-line
of January sixth is final.
