y
his tour of the counties on Monday
and returned to Baltimore, where he
is nightly being greeted by great
throngs of voters anxious to meet him,
encourage him and hear the true story
of his four years stewardship.
The Governor and his friends are
confident that he will be reelected by
an overwhelming majority. His re-
ceptions in the counties proved to him
that he will come to Baltimore with
a huge majority and the city leaders
point out that he will smother under
his opponent within the confines of
Baltimore.
Governor Nice directed his fire
against Herbert r. O'Conor on the
grounds that the candidate is making
promises that he cannot fulfill and is
endeavoring to set himself up as "All
things to all sections of the State of
Maryland"
He said:
Gle pledges economy, and solemnly
announces that he will cut $75O,OO0
from the State expenditures, but he
cannot be made to tell us from what
departments he will make this enor-
nous deduction. That is a general
statement made by him, but when he
goes into Western Maryland, he pro-
poses to buy up the entire county of
Garrett, and make a great State park.
"But from where does he expect to
get the money? That would cost mil
lions of dollars, deprive people of their
homes, increase the State tax rate, and
further burden the people of Mary
land. In other words, he proposes to
save $750,000 and expend millions.
HE goes to the Eastern Shore, and
tells the good folks there that he will
build a straight dual highway from
Elkton to Ocean City. From where
does he expect to get the money? That
will cost millions, so that saving of
$750,000 is swallowed up in an expen-
diture of millions.
HE welcomes the Negro and urges
him to rest his weary head upon Abra-
hams bosom, telling him that he is
entitled to transportation of his chill
dren to and from school and that such
transportation is now only furnished
by nine counties.
Deep End Jump
Here he went off the deep end.
Twenty-Five out of the twenty-three
counties already furnish that transpor-
tation. He tells the oystermen that he
will plant shells and seed oysters and
transplant oysters to places where
they will have better chance to grow,
all of which he knows we have been
doing for four years and which has
resulted in more than doubling the
yield from the Chesapeake Bay and its
tributaries, yield that is now greater
than the demand.
"He says that he is opposed to leas-
ing. This l have opposed for the last
-four years and have during the last
four years prevented any enlargement
OF the leasing law. Is it not possible
for Mr.. O'Conor to say something
original? Why continue to repeat the
SunpaDers and use my platform?
He tells the crabbers that he will
effect a compact with Virginia to pro-
tect the ---ryland crab. Bless his soul!
That compact has already been eff
iectcd, and was in force before he
announced his candidacy for Gov
ernor. l erected that compact.
Where Is O'Conor?
Gle tells us that he is for a grad
uated income tax, but the tax amend
ment has not, as yet, been passed.
Last year he was for cigarette tax,
a real estate tax and sales tax. This
year he Is for neither, but strong for
the income tax, which has not, as yet,
passed. WIN he go back to his first
love .. approve lotteries?
"lle Stimulates great resentment and
org at my suggestion that he and
rs friends badly treated Mayor How
81 w. jackson. It is not what said
tnat d-s.I3s him. It is his conscience,
for ne knows that he and his friends
-.l1#auan,edIy and viciously made an
attack upon the character and personal
integrity CT Mayor Howard w. Jack
son, and having done so, feel that all
that is Hcces ssry now is for them to
issue words OF praise of His Honor,
and say: Lei bygones be bygones.'
MavOr Not Deceived
"8tJ me Mayor and his friends will
not be deceived by this rather insult
feraGe favnie< at the feet Of him
whom n. OIonor's political machine
attempted TO destroy. Down in Dor
cH"~tor county there were elected to
the Democratic state Central Commit
Zee three Jackson and two O'Conor

Freely predIc ing that, in the event of
Nj. OConors election, two will be-
come majority of five.
