THE BALLOT

Five (5) ks" will fully vote the
ballot next Tuesday. Only two
marks are needed to vote for can
didates. A mark for Roosevelt
and Garner, or Landon and Knox,
automatically casts a vote for
each of the eight electors, while
the other mark is for the Con-
gressional candidate.
However, there are three Con-
stitutional amendments to be
voted on.
Intelligent voting requires that
all questions submitted be marked.
Too often the voter casts only
half ballot and many an issue
has either been defeated or was
carried by a small percentage of
the ballots actually cast. To I'M
derstand the amendments submit
ted turn to page 5 in today's
SENTINEL and read them. Make
up your mind how you want to
vote before you go to the polls.

Bus Inspection In
County Works For
Safety OF Pupils
First Of Series Held At Fair
Grounds; New Equipment
Is Special

AS part of the program for safety
in the schools the first of the series
of bus inspection was held on Mon
day, at the Fair Grounds. The pro-
gram of inspection was managed by
P. L. Snyder, Supervisor of school
property.
All school buses assembled for the
inspection at 1920 A. M. Among
those present Were representative
Of the insurance company, Mr.. Sny-
der, and Superintendent Edwin w.
Broome.
The condition of the buses was
compared and checked in reference to
the following: Cleanliness. brakes,
spare times, chains, tools, fire extin-
guishers, emergency doors, mirror,
windshield wiper, stop light, rule
book, and other details.
A fleet of AZ buses is being oper-
ated for the transportation of Mont
gomery County children to schools.
The operation of the buses is par
ticularly checked for economy in con-
Quoting the service; and for using
every effort to secure safety to chill
dren. Monthly check-ups are made, at
the office, with each driver for all
bills for operating costs, by Mr..
Snyder, In this way the strictest eco
nomy is practised, which insures that
the service is being conducted with a
minimum of expense. 1t is felt that
personal attention given to transpor-
tation has resulted in savings in OPP
Grating costs.
The newer equipment being used is
PROVIDED With special features OF
safety, worked out by the County,
pertaining to seating arrangements;
exit door safety; hand rails and safe
ty steps for front doors; insulation of
the bodies for noise and heat control;
protection of the ceiling from the
usual hazard from projections of the
frame supporting the roof; and the
re-ainting of buses to insure further
safety from passing traffic on the
road. Special lights have been pro
vided on the buses. The law provide,
that passing traffic should come to &
stop when bus is taking on or dis
charging children on the highways.

Members of the Bar Association
of Montgomery County, as we'll as
other leading citizens, are unani-
nlously in favor of the proposed
amendment to the Maryland Consti-
tuition providing for fourth judge
in the Sixth Judicial Circuit, en-
bracing Montgomery and Frederick
counties. AS pointed out in a front
page editorial in THE SENTINEL of
August 10, 1896, 'for several years
the work has been entirely too
heavy, particularly in Montgomery
County, where only one judge pre-
sides regularly. y in order to
get the best type of decisions in any
court of justice there should not be
any undue delay in bringing cases
to trial. The presiding justices
should have plenty OF time for calm
elaboration"
It has been pointed out that an
additional judge win cost the tax
payers of Montgomery and Frederick
counties nothing; as the salary OF
the new Judge would be paid out OF
the funds of the State Treasury.
Those in position to know say that
no additional State revenue will be
needed.
THE SENTINEL prints a letter re-
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1936-10-29

Contradictory predictions have been
received from the various leaders of
both the Democratic and Republican
parties. The best available estimate
as to the registration for this county
is about 10000 Democrats as COM
pared to 1920 Republicans. AS many
point out there is little chance that
sufficient Democrats will bolt the
Roosevelt ticket to enable the COP.
candidate, ALT Landon, to get by in
Montgomery. In fact, it is almost
inconceivable that Roosevelt could
win by less than 1900 votes. He
might go as high as $500. The united
efforts of both organization and anti
Democrats in the various election
districts cannot help but produce re-
suits, seasoned observers say.
In 1892, Roosevelt carried Mont
gomery County by over $500 votes.
Congressman Lewis won out by
slightly over 5000 votes.
State Senator Stednan Prescott
predicts that Roosevelt will carry
this county Tuesday by margin
ranging from 1900 to 800. He
also says that Lewis will carry the
Sixth Congressional District by be-
tween 5000 and 5000 votes. Nearly
every Democratic leader agrees with
Senator Prescott that Roosevelt will
carry the county by at least 1900
votes. Some think that the Bethesda,
Chevy Chase and Takoma Park Dis
tricts will not give Franklin D. a
majority, but they also believe that
Silver Spring and the other Wheaton
precincts will balance this detection
and afford the New Deal a slight
margin. 1t is generally agreed that
the upper county is in better shape
to return q Democratic majority than
it has been for some time.
Republicans see differently. Thomas
l.. Dawson, former Secretary o6
State, told the writer yesterday that
up To two weeks ago he thought
Landon was doomed. Now he be-
lives Roosevelt will be defeated. OF
course, he did not mention county
figures. He was speaking Of the
national outlook. Some g. o. p.
party leaders in this cogfnCy are so
optimistic as TO predict that Landon
will carry the county by at least
5000. Obviously, someone rs wrong.
Based on the county registration and
upon what the writer learns in his
travels around the county, Roosevelt
Is due to win by about 1900 votes.
The margin may be more. It de-
ponds largely upon whether or not
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1936-10-29

the colored vote divides It depends
upon the temper of these so-called
anti-New Deal voters at the polls.
But it hardly seems possible that
Roosevelt can miss.
1t is no secret that the Demo
Gratis are worried about Bethesda and
Chevy Chase. Observers say there
are a large number of people living
there who are interested in stocks
and bonds and whe are afraid of
the present governmental supervision
of banks. Why they should be
alarmed with the banks now in the
safest position they occupied for
some time, nobody knows. They just
feel jittery. Possibly, as the ordi-
nary bank depositor did in 1882.
With over $4,000 voters registered
fer the election next Tuesday there
is bound to be a lot of votes cast
in Montgomery County. The sub
urban districts will vote early and
late. BY that we mean that there
will be a large vote cast before
8 A. M. and after P. M. This
will mean that the returns will
come in late from the Wheaton and
Bethesda districts. The upper county
precincts should get their vote in
earlier and one can pretty well abide
by the results from these polling
places north and west Of Rockville.
At least, you can get an idea of the
final results.
Maryland Democrats will bring
to close their State campaign with
a rally at the Lyric Theatre Friday
evening at 1880. Homer s. Cum
mings, Attorney-General, will be the
principal speaker as the curtain
rings down on Roosevelt massmeet-
ings.

10 DIGRESS FOR a moment

highest national honors, one ALT
Landon, from Kansas, bleeding Kan
sas, nourisbed and brought back to
1e by the hand of the Federal
gOVernment-said in campaign
speech in 1884: From the very first,
l advocated the granting of unusual
powers to the President because of

sNte phraseology, stated in 10 words,
AMI Landon emphatically backed the

Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1936-10-29

WE DO NOT for one minute
contend that the New Deal has set
tied all of our difficulties. Indeed,
there are several burning questions
which have hardly gotten through
the diagnosis stage. There are sew
eral more which never will be settled
except temporarily to meet existing
conditions. But underneath the po-
litical philosophy of President Roose-
welt, Secretary Hull and Secretary
Wallace lies the basic truth
that times are changing at rate
hitherto undreamed Of and that we
cannot with safety go back to those
&C ideas and ideals which actuated
the horse-and-buggy- days. The main
hatred of Roosevelt and his asso-
GATES in power has developed from
the opposition exerted by the "die-
hards". Such political campaign fiz-
zes as communism, RECOMMENDATION
and Jeffersonian Democracy are all
good, thirty -five-cent terms but sadly
wanting as effective arguments
against the continued prosperity and
happiness of our people.

THIS CAMPAIGN HAS been an
unusual one, for not in the memory
Of any living voter has there existed
such unusual problems as now con-
front our National leaders. These
problems, it is true, are being inter-
preted in different ways. President
Roosevelt's tribute to "The For
gotten Man" expresses both an eco
nOmic and governmental philosophy.
It marks an epoch in our progress
where the head of a great nation
saw clearly that powerful and organ
lied interests which formerly had
been having their say about govern
ment were in reality endangering it.
The set-up was lopsided and Frank
lin D. Roosevelt decided to do some
thing about it. When you listen to
the bowls of men such as are mem
bers of the Liberty League-you
realize how well he has succeeded.

current query sis the New Deal
worthy of retaining a place in our
American scheme of things?" The
force of that answer will be felt in
every State, every County, every City
and hamlet from Maine to Washing
ION. And never did the answer to
any political question more strongly
hinge upon the personality of one
single figure. Upon the reception
given the appeal of Franklin D.
Roosevelt is based the destiny of
our country for another four years.

WEIR ENTERS RACE
FOR SHERIFF

Larry Weir has announced his can
didacy for reelection as sheriff on the
Democratic ticket. Long a union man
himself, Sheriff Weir has shown a
genuine regard for the right OF labor
TO organize and to function. In the
past thirty years only two incumbents
Of the office Of sheriff Of Silver Bow
County have stood for impartial ad-
ministration OF the law during labor
disputes. Sheriff Weir is one OF those
two. Unfortunately others have thrown
the weight OF their office against la
Dor, especially its right to picket, a
right long ago declared by the Sup
rene Court as one based on the Bill
Of Rights OF the Constitution OF Mon
tana. Unfortunately, in several inst
ances other sheriffs have delegated
their public duties to private interests
with the result that Silver Bow County
has seen wide spread disregard Of law
and violations OF personal human rights
Happily, in the labor dispute of 1884
with Larry Weir as Sheriff, the com
munity was singularly free from the
commission OF f%elonies and the strike
was amicably settled inside the law
Sheriff Weir's entry in the race fol

TOWNSEND CONVENTION IN BUTTE, SUN, MAY 81
Central Union Council
Holds Unusual Session

The Silver Bow Trades and Labor
Council held its usual session Tuesday
evening with about the same number
of delegates in attendance.
President Erler requested Secretary
Grimes to read the official notifica-
ton that had been given him by Mr..
Paul Smith, in which it was stated that
the charter Of the Silver Bow Trades
and Labor Council had been revoked
and requesting that all books, prop
erty and effects be turned over to the
American Federation OF Labor. After
the reading of this official notice from
Mr.. Paul Smith, Mr.. Erler stated that
under the circumstances, he could no
longer hold the position OF presiding
officer and be consistent with the rul-
ings which he had before made in re-
gard to the controversy which now
exists.
A temporary chairman was then Sc
lected, Mr. Fauss of the Typographical
union taking charge OF the meeting.
The usual communications were read
and reports OF the Grievance Commit
tee and the delegates delivered to the
meeting. The several disputes be-
tween some of the business houses and
some Of the unions, which had de-
veloped in the past week, were re-
ported as satisfactorily settled by the
Grievance Committee, AT the conclu-
sion OF the Grievance Committees re-
port, one Of the delegates remarked
rather facetiously that We were get
ting along very well without a charter.
Nevertheless, a feeling OF gloom and
uncertainty was evident among the
delegates. All the unions are hoping
that the matter will be adjusted by the
American Federation Of Labor with
out any serious damage having been
done to the union structure Of Silver
Bow County and the state Of Montana,
The Cascade Trades and Labor AS
sembly Of Great Falls sent in a conf
munication expressing confidence in
the ability of the Silver Bow Trades
and Labor Council to conduct its az
fairs. In former meetings OF the Sill
yer Bow Trades and Labor Council
and since this battle has been raging
both the Great Falls Mill and Smelter-
men and the Anaconda Mill and Smell
termen have expressed themselves as
being firmly in accord with the Min
ers, Engineers and other unions ii
their attitude toward the installation Of
the new Engineers union.
