Delegation Asks Commissioners
For Children's Aid Fund

The right to administer care for a
number of dependent children in Gar
rett county was retained by represen-
tatives of the Maryland Children's
Aid Society, following a meeting be-
fore the Board of County Commiss-
toner's on Monday.
A delegation, mostly women, ap-
peared before the Board with Rev. D.
c. Trimble as spokesman, and re-
quested the commissioners to con-
slider an appropriation, necessary to
take care of the work that had been
carried on here for several years.
1t was pointed out that the fund of
81, ZOO turned over to the Welfare
Board for aid to dependent children
would not take care of about 40 chill
dren, due to technicalities in the
social security law, and that if no
fund was provided these forty chill
dren could not be cared for properly.
These were children taken from
homes of parents declared unfit to
rear them properly, and who had been
committed to the society by the
courts for proper care.
The commissioners assured the
delegation that funds would be pro-
vided, either from the contingent
fund, or from other relief funds now
being received.

L'GORE AND LEWIS WILL
BE CONGRESS OPPONENTS
Frederick County Republican
Wins Over A. Charles Stewart,
FrOstburg, By Narrow Margin
VOTING EXTREMELY LIGHT

With less than 20 percent of the
citizens of the Sixth Congressional
District voting, Harry w. LeGore, of
Frederick county, received the Re-
publican nomination for Congress by
a majority of 338 over A. Charles
Stewart, of Frostburg, his nearest

Allegany county but lost out when
the final returns came in from Wash
ington, Frederick and Montgomery
counties.
On the Democratic ticket President
Roosevelt won out over his opponent,
Henry Breckenridge, by ratio of
slightly more than to 1 throughout
the entire state. In Garrett county
he received 474 votes to II for Brock
inridge.
David J. Lewis received the Demo-
cratic nomination for Congress in the
Sixth District. Garrett county gave
Mr.. Lewis 487 votes compared to 81
for Clay Plummer, his opponent.
Unofficial figures in the district gave
Lewis 1880; Plummer 1850.

bitterly contested Republican nomina-
ton in this district, said yesterday he
was Every grateful" for the vote ac-
corded him.

Views Differ On Roosevelt

views Differ On Roosevelt
Democrats and Republicans in
Maryland turned from vote counting
to express widely divergent views as
to the significance of Roosevelt's de-
feat of Henry Breckenridge. Roose-
welt received 96,937 throughout the
state compared to 17,72O for Breckin-
ridge.
Pro-Roosevelts were saying that
the vote demonstrated that the state
was safe for him.
Anti-Roosevelts were saying that if
Breckenridge could gain approximate
ly 16 percent of the votes cast with
no organized campaign the states
Republican outlook was promising.
The primary campaign was con-
sidered exceptionally quiet, especially
for Garrett countians, who had no
personal interest in the matter. Many
farmers who came to town did not
take the trouble to vote even after
they were here.

This time Sam Horne's eyes were not

His lips formed cry of warning that

The crash, as the giant, blunt-nosed

gnawing, ripping, tearing sound -
The scream of strong wood as it gave.
On the upper deck passengers lurched
with the shock, and few were
brought to their knees and thrown
against the protecting rail. The
steamer tipped; all loose things skated
to one side.
This was on the upper deck. Below,
there were shouts from the hold. A
white faced engineer appeared from
the engine room and leaned over the
side to see the gaping wound in the
bow as the giant ferry backed away.

screams. AS he watched. the fery's

1t was then that he saw Sam Horne
twenty feet away, ghost in the grey
mist, his chin high as he pounded the
water. He was staying up, but no
more than staying up. With few
strong strokes, Johnnie Durkin
reached him.

thought he'd better get moving, if he
was to save himself.
But something held him where he
was, swimming close to the struggling
man. He wished it would hurry up
and happen. And then, with shocking
suddenness, it did happen. Sam Horne
looked at Johnnie Durkin once, and
sank
The boy treaded water. A rotted

him in panic. The boy raised himself
high in the water. and his right arm
went back, then forward. Horne's

landed. Expertly. Johnnie rolled the

hooked his own arm under the chin.

He was twenty yards away from

side and he wound it around Sam

Then a second rope came and he clung
to it and felt himself being raised. On
the deck he fell unconscious into
