DUEL POLITELY
Meet on Tobacco Growers

SEASIDE PARK, Md, July 21.-
Meeting for the first time on the same
| platform since their race for the
Democratic senatorial nomination got
| in full swing, Senator Millard E. Tyd.
ings and Representative David j. Lewis
shielded their sharp contest behind 9
shower of courtesy as they Wed with
each other here yesterday for the sup.
port Of this tobacco-growing section Of
the State.
1t was the annual outing of the
Maryland Tobacco Growers Associa-
ton, and the parade of aspirants fol
the Democratic gubernatorial nomi.
nation as well as for the Senate made
tobacco the paramount issue of the
hour.
Beneath the surface of the cam.
paign speeches, however, this rally
which brought together virtually ali
of the candidates, furnished evidence
of the keen rivalry developing in one
OF the liveliest Democratic primaries
in Maryland in recent years.
The scene here yesterday will be re.
peated many times in other localities
before the Democratic voters make
their choice on September II, and
with seven weeks of vigorous cam
paigning ahead it is too early to gauge
the outcome. especially in the scram-
BILE for the governorship.
Tydings Sentiment Indicated.
AS far as this section of the State
is concerned. however, observers here
today found indications of strong
sentiment for Mr.. Tydings in the
senatorial race and a natural ad-
vantage for Lansdale G. Sasscer of
nearby Prince Georges County in the
gubernatorial race.
With more than 800 tobacco planters
and their families gathered in the
dance pavilion and others listening
from outside, interest centered chief
ly in what the two senatorial aspirants
would say and do.
Western Maryland's diminutive Rep
resentative Lewis, vigorous despite his
50 years, and champion OF the New
Deal cause in the senatorial primary,
was the first to arrive and was seated
on the platform when Mr.. Tydings
entered the hall.
The tall, alert Senator, who also has
long record of public service at 48,
smiled and shook hands with his oppo-
nent and with the line of candidates
for Governor.
Tax Denunciation Applauded.
Senator Tydings was applauded when
he arrived and again when he de-
nounced the heavy taxation of to-
bacco by the Federal Government
Drawing package of cigarettes from
his pocket, always a resourceful de-
batter, he held it aloft and pointed to
the Federal revenue stamp.
That is Scent United States
stamp. which the law requires to be
placed on every package" he shouted.

O'CONOR NEUTRAL.
Candidate for Governor to Take No
Sides on Senator Race,

Sides on Senator Race.
BALTIMORE, July 21 P).-Attorney
General Herbert R. O'Conor's Balti-
more City campaign for the Demo-
cratic nomination for Governor was
of today on a course of strict neu-
trallty'' as far as the senatorial race
is concerned.
Mr.. O'Conor launched his city cam
palgn last night at rally at which he
not only declared himself neutral re-
garding senatorial candidates., but
also raped the Baltimore City ad-
ministration and warned against DO
litical machine" candidates.
Also speaking were Mrs. Elizabeth
r. Menefee of Cumberland, Demo-
cratic national committeewoman seek
ing the Office of clerk of the Court
of Appeals, and P. Watson Webb, Cam
bridge publisher running for State
controller. Both are O'Conor candi-
dates.
Asserting the issues in the senatorial
and gubernatorial races are essen
TALLY different" Mr.. O'Conor thus
explained his position with regard tc
the campaign for the Senate:
II have maintained strictly an at.
titude of neutrality in the senatorial
race. You know there is a difference
between neutrality and duplicity.
ut is clearly duplicity and not
neutrality for any candidate to profess
to be for Senator Tydings in one Sec
ton of the State and for Mr.. David
]. Lewis in another.
Il am not following a course wherein
I am secretly indicating to senatorial
candidates that I am with each of
them, while on the surface apparently
remaining In a neutral position"
Mr.. O'Conor added that Mr.. Lewis
had declared that because the two
contests are separate and distinct
he intended to remain neutral" and
that Senator Tydings 'has declared
that he was indorsing no candidate tos
the governorshiD."

Herbert R. OConor and Mayor How.
ard Jackson of the Monumental City
presented their claims and the change!
they believe should be made in the
State government.
When Mr.. O'Conor suggested that
the voters should choose a Governor
young enough to weather the storms
OF the next four years" he drew a
reply from his older Baltimore rival
Mayor Jackson.
Calls for Seasoned Man.
Mr.. O'Conor said you need a
young man." the Mayor responded
Now I say to you that your tobacco
isn't any good until it is seasoned
and what you need is seasoned, ex-
perienced man for Governor.
Two other candidates for the Demo-
cratic nomination for Governor, State
Controller William S. Gordy, jr., from
the Eastern Shore, and Herbert N
Bruno, jr., of Baltimore County, like
wise presented their platforms.
The incumbent Republican, Gov.
Harry Nice, addressed a Republican
rally here a week ago.
Thomas w. Parran, president OF
the Maryland Tobacco Growers AS
sociation. presided at the rally, and
George Sachs, also an official of the
association, introduced the speakers.
Artistic Reception.
Running for public Office is highly
developed art, and the picnic crowd
saw it exemplified in many ways. AZ
fable Attorney General O'Conor, con-
tender for the governorship, arrived
at the park early and greeted with q
hearty handshake many of the farm
ers who had brought their families
from miles around for the outing.
He partook of the lunch, spread out
In honey fashion on long tables, and
later, when the speechmaking started,
he turned for moment from the
weighty problems of State to compli-
ment and thank ''the church ladies for
their delicious meal"
Mayor Jackson, who is confident
he is the logical man to fill the Gov
ernor's chair, was not to be OUT
done. He told the ladies that one
of his jobs in early life had been
in a bakery. There he had learned
to make good biscuits, and he invited
them to come over to Annapolis when
he is Governor and try some.
The Mayor also recalled that he
had married in 1898 on salary OF
IS q week. When q friend sug-
gested he took chance doing that,
the Mayor said he replied: mo. but
my wife did," He added, however,

After telling his audience that near
ly 10 per cent Of all the revenue the
Government takes in is levied on to-
bacco. he declared:
Il have fought and will continue to
fight that in Congress. It is not fair,
not sound, not based on ability to pay.
Suppose wheat or corn were taxed?
Why. the members of Congress from
those sections would be protesting and
fighting it.
Hits Commodity Taxation.
There is no more reason to tax
tobacco than to tax wheat or corn
One Of the greatest evils today is
commodity taxation. There will be no
improvement in agriculture until the
products of the farm are the last to
receive the cruel impact of taxation"
The Senator said he would like to
see every commodity tax repealed, ex-
cept the tariff law, land then tax all
citizens on their ability to pay"

ernor had extolled their qualifications
and platforms before Representative
Lewis was called on, and the aspirant
for Senator Tydings' place in the Sen
ate realized that the crowd might be
growing tired. Employing a bit of
timely psychology, the veteran legis-
lator, who began his political career
in the Maryland Legislature 36 years
ago, invited all those who wanted to
hear him to raise their hands.
Compliments Tydings.
There was generous showing of
hands, and he began by complimenting
Senator Tydings on his speech.
Senator Tydings' statement on the
tobacco question was most excellent
one, and concur in it,"
Mr.. Lewis added that time did not
permit the Senator to discuss other
questions, and suggested that if the
Senator had time he might have con-
Cured ''in some of thc things I pro-
pose to discuss"
Although he spoke but a few min
utes, Mr.. Lewis gave his speech New
Deal touch by declaring that limita-
tlons placed on the taxing power Of
the Federal Government have been
restored to Congress recently because
some personal changes have been made
in the highest court in the land"
He mentioned specifically a decision
OF century ago from which deyel-
oped the theory Of tax-exempt securi-
ties. and the exemption of Federal
salaries from State taxation, or State
salaries from Federal taxation. He
declared there have been other de-
cisions in the last rs years that have
deprived the Government of a large
amount OF revenue. These decisions.
he said, are being repudiated.

ought to make it their duty to bring

Indispensable for Most People

Sugar is such an indispensable
ingredient in cakes, cookies, pies,
buildings and ice creams, it is so
necessary in beverages, on break
fast cereals and with fruits that it
seems a great hardship to do with
out it even for one meal.
We are extremely fortunate,
most people will agree, to live in
an age when sugar is SO high in
quality and SO reasonable in price.
In the Thirteenth century when
sugar was introduced to England
through India, it cost the equiva.
lent of ten dollars pound in the
monetary terms Of today.
Refined sugar is now priced at a
few cents a pound and one pound
supplies over 1900 calories! More
over, when you buy a branded
product, backed by a well-known
name, you have the assurance
that quality and purity are of the
highest.

WHAT to EAT and WHY

are most familiar, or the brown
sugar which is quite similar in
composition, except for larger
moisture content, despite popular
notions to the contrary.
Most fruits contain easily di-
gestible sugars, the percentage in
dried fruits ranging from SO to
rs per cent. Milk sugar is also
easily digested. Honey, molasses,
corn strip and the popular blended
sirups are usually eaten in COM
bination with other foods and are
therefore unlikely to be con-
sumed in too large amounts.
Corn strip is often added to
milk, fruits, vegetables, cereals,
breads and desserts. 1t helps to
make these foods more palatabls
and adds go Galleries with every
tablespoon. It is so easily digest
ed that it is often used in infant
feeding.
Molasses provides significant
amounts of both calcium and iron
and is a good sweet for growing
children. One and one-half table
spoons Of molasses supplies as
much calcium as one and one-half
cups of diced carrots. 1t is q
wise mother, therefore, who uses
it i'm making the cookies that chill
dren like SO well.
The mixed or blended sirups
that are so popular with griddle
cakes and french toast on cool
fall days, also add palate appeal
and energy values to the diet.
For in whatever form sugar is
consumed, it remains natures
shortcut to press-the-butt0n heat
and quick, healthful stimulation.

A Real S+imuIanf

While starchy foods require an
average of from three to four
hours for digestion, the body be-
gins to burn a ration of sugar
from 10 to 30 minutes after it is
eaten.
1t reaches the blood and mus
cles in few minutes-as rapidly
in fact as alcohol! That is why
concentrated sweets, which are
largely sugar, are so effective in
combating fatigue.
Athletic coaches are well aware
of the unique power of sugar as a
stimulant and restorative of en-
ergy. That is why school and col
lege youths. are so frequently Civ
en- highly sweetened beverages
and other concentrated sweets be-
fore engaging in athletic compe-
tition.
Military leaders also appreciate
how it increases endurance, and
sweets are an important part of
the soldiers ration. During the
World war civilians were urged
to reduce their consumption OF
sugar in order to make larger
amounts available for the army,
and most people found it difficult
indeed to forego this agreeable
food.
