With the county leader on the
speakers program were Charles M
Irelan, Jr., candidate for Judge OF
the Orphans Court; o. w. Roby, can
didate for county commissioner for
the eastern suburban district and JOS
eph D. Buscher, candidate for the
House of Delegates.
Prior to the program, Mrs. Ralph
Wells, president of the club, conducted
a short business session during which
the club adopted a resolution urging
passage of the pending Congressional
bill to finance a nationwide campaign
against social diseases.
Mr.. Peter emphasized the fact that
the Democratic organization has al
ways considered the education of the
children one of the paramount duties
of any county government, both as
regards proper school facilities and
competent instructors.
He pointed out that the school sys-
tenn was built up under Democratic
organization administrations and that
the orgaization would continue to
maintain the school system at as high
level as could be afforded by the
taxpayers.
The Rockville attorney also remind
ed the meeting that the Democratic
organization had anticipated the ire
mendous growth of population in the
Metropolitan area and had acquired
park properties which are being de-
veloped to provide recreational facili-
ties for both children and adults.
This foresight, the speaker declared
is tremendous aid to the county in
making possible for boys and girls to
grow up in the proper environment by
providing wholesome recreational ia
cilities and playfields instead of fore
ing them to loaf around street corn
ers.
Mr.. Peter also dwelt briefly on the
ignominous failure of the Republican
Fusion administration during the past
three andone-haf years to carry out
it's platform pledges to the voters of
the county.
He cited a number Of pledges that
have either been ignored or fragrant
ly violated. Among these, he referred
to the plank calling for elimination
of unnecessary boards, jobs and bu-
reaus. No boards or jobs to his know
ledge have been eliminated by the Re-
publican Fusion leaders, he said, but
on the contrary pointed to large in
crease in the county payroll.
He also referred to the Republican
Fusion pledge to take the county
police out of politics, stating that one
Of the first moves Of the administra-
ton had been to dismiss all of the
members Of the police force and to
replace them with Fusion sympathiz-
ers who had no previous police ex-
perience.
