Dry Leader for Betty Ann Jarvis
States Decision Wins in Contest

Liquor, one of the most controver-
sial issues of the 1887 session, is
scheduled to be discussed next week.
Gale K. Burgess, leader of the
United Dry Forces of North Caro-
lima, was quoted Wednesday night as
saying, "as far as I know now about
the contents of the bill, the United
Drys are for it." He was referring to
the legislative measure providing for
State wide referendum this fall on
the liquor issue, introduced that day.
1--WE feel that the liquor problem
should be handled as a matter of
Statewide policy. Roads and schools
and other Statewide matters are
handled through the State as a
whole and we believe it would be
undemocratic and unjust to approach
the loquor issue through local
angles"

Hon. Francis Case
Chief Speaker At
Republican Rally
Picnic And General Good Time
At Judge Kelley's Well
Attended

The Hon. Francis Case of South
Dakota, one of the few Republicans to
defeat Democrat incumbent for Con-
gress in 1886, addressed a gathering
of over 800 young Republicans of
Montgomery County on Saturday,
July IL, at picnic held at Pleasant
Hill Farms, the beautiful Colonial
residence of Judge Thomas Kelly, To-
Gated near Jamestown.
Hon. Case delivered most inspir-
ing and encouraging message and
emphasized the reasons for young Re-
publicans to organize and stand
ground for the principals of economic
and efficient government. He compar-
ed the two billion dollar deficit Of
1886 with the two million persons be-
coming of age last year, and definite
ly expressed the fact that we were
hanging a burden over the heads of
cur children in time to come for that
which we are now enjoying. His
speech was highly commendable and
brought nothing but praise from all
who heard him.
Other highlights of the day were
the opening by the President of the
Montgomery County Young Republic
can Club, Dewitt Zook of Takoma
Park, who greeted the gathering and
gave the history of the Club since its
beginning in the winter of 1885.
He turned the meeting over to the
program chairman, Wilton Allen, Of
Bethesda, who introduced the other
notable guests. Among these guests
was former Mayor Walter Quenstedt
of Annapolis, now Superintendent Of
the House of Correction. at Jessup,
Md; Dr.. David G. Everhart, one Of
the states leading Republicans from
neighboring Frederick County; and
the unforgettable Walter johnson,
formerly Of the Washington Baseball
Club.
A base ball game was held between
the upper end Of the county and the
lower end Of the county, Republicans,
which ended in Is all tie after 2
innings. Others spent the afternoon In
horseshoe pitching, croquet, ping
pong, bridge and dancing in the spac"
ious rooms of Judge Kelly's home, to
the music of popular recordings over
a public address system.

Liquor Board Is
Sued By Dealers
In Beer Permits
Dispute Arose Over Charging
Of Tax; Case Set For
August 2

The Liquor Control Board for Mont
gomery County Monday was formally
served at its meeting in Silver Spring
with papers in the injunction suits
brought by five beer dealers in an at
Tempt to restrain the board from
charging more than cents tax on
each case of beer or more than so
cents barrel.
The case will be heard August 2
before Judge Charles w. Woodward
in the Montgomery County Circuit
Court.
A few moments before notice of the
suits was served on board members,
the control unit issued rule ordering
Carl Darby, Montgomery Hills beer
distributor, to appear before it on
August 2 to show cause why his
license should not be revoked for
"price cutting"
1t was said that Darby, on several
occasions, had sold beer to retailers
at $1.56 case, whereas his list price
at the time was $1.61. A regulation Of
the board prohibits a distributor or
retailer from selling beer lower than
his list price.
Two suits for injunction actually
face the board in the tax fight. In one
case, the plaintiffs are Richard j.
Dietle, John M. Faulconer, David s.
Tuohey and Troy L. Waldrop, while
the complainant in the second case il
Joseph r. Harris. The suits were filed
on Saturday.
1t was explained by Capt. Joseph C.
Cissell, attorney for the five dealers,
that the county beer tax was cut from
10 cents y case and 800 a barrel to
cents case and soc = barrel at the
1887 session of the State Legislature,
but that the board had failed to ad.
here to the new law.
Kenneth Lyddane, counsel for the
board, some time ago advised the
board to retain the old taxes, declar-
ing the new law passed by the Legis-
lature is unconstitutional and no
change should be made.

The County Commissioners and
Col. Jones who will supervise the
examination and classification of can
didates for positions under the new
setup, conferred for several hours
on plans for the installation of the
merit system. They were unable to
decide, however, whether the em-
ployes in the several agencies will
be affected by the law.
Included in the doubtful group are
those employed in the office of tho
county sheriff, the register Of wills
and the circuit court clerk and the
Montgomery County employees Of the
Maryland = National Capital Park
and Planning and Washington SUBJ
urban Sanitary Commissions, which
serve both Prince Georges and Mont
gomery Counties.
F. Barnard Welsh, attorney to the
county commissioners, said that on
it's face the merit system law prob
ably includes the appointees in offices
of the sheriff, register Of wills and
Circuit Court clerk, but he doubted
whether the system would affect the
two bi-county groups.
He pointed out that the employees
of those commissions do not come
under the direct supervision of the
county commissioners, and that the
only connection with the commission
is that the county collects the SUBJ
urban district and metropolitan area
taxes for the planning board and
the sanitary department.
The merit system bill was passed
by the Maryland General Assembly
in April, and Montgomery is the
first county of the State to adopt
such a system for appointment Of
its employees. Members Of the police
force and school teachers, principals
and the superintendent Of education
will not be affected by the measure,
aa they have been under q similar
service for some time.
Jones said, however. that all Of
the janitors, bus drivers and the
superintendent Of school property,
desk clerks in the police department
and all other county employees that
come under the law must take the
