percent of the population of my home
county of Somerset, and indirectly the
people of the whole county, and more
or less affects the we'll being of a
large segment of the population of
every tide-water county in the State.
Crisfield, the largest shipping point
of seafood in the world, is in Somerset
and Tangier Sound, noted for it's BIZ
valves of unsurpassed flavor, lies al
most entirely within the territorial
limits of Somerset county. In discuss
ing with Mr.. O'Conor the prostrate
condition of the seafood industry of
the State, he said to me. 81
regard Chesapeake Bay and it's tribu-
taries the greatest potential asset the
State possesses. If I am elected Gov
ernor, want to be sure the right road
is selected looking to the rehabilita-
ton of the natural bars of the State,
and to the end that there may be no
turning back, propose to engage the
best scientific talent that can be found
in the country to aid in charting the
way. My first and chief concern is
the welfare of those who earn their
livelihood in the industry"
agree with Mr.. O'Conor one hun
dred percent that human rights and
human welfare should supersede all
other considerations in solving this
perplexing problem that means so
much to the lives and happiness of
so many of the people in all the tide
water counties of the State. Lack Of
time prevents going into detail, but to
my mind there is but one solution to
the problem and that decision is pre-
dictated on forty years of observation
and experience, during which time I
have owned and operated fleet of
dredge boats, bay boats, operated a
packing house and planted oysters and
shells on barren bottoms; namely, that
the State should lease no natural bar,
whteher productive or depleted but
should rehabilitate all natural bars
for both tongers and dredgers in their
respective areas by the planting of
shells and oysters from the head of
the Bay and elsewhere where conges-
tion prevents growing to maturity
and then impose a small self-liquida-
ting tax on the oysters when taken
from the rehabilitiated areas for re-
endorsement to the State; and this
undertaking should be prosecuted as
fast as is practicable and as rapidly
as sound State financing will permit.
In this way an abundant supply of
oysters would be assured and prosper
ity restored to a PROSTATE industry
and PROSTATE people. Property val
ues would increase and the assessable
basis for the imposition of State and
county taxes restored, whereas today
much property is abandoned and val
ueless. The greatest benefit of all
would be the restoration Of many peo-
pie from a state of want and despair
to a position of comfort and happi-

ready beginning to fall but with ex-
panding and growing power he seeks
to make Maryland eligible again tc
membership in the comfy of the great
forward-loking and progressive States
of our Union. I use the word again
advisedly for we, as a State, have un-
questionably slipped from our position
of prestige and Importance, and al
an accelerated rate during the present
administration. Nothing short Of
leadership of the highest order car
restore Maryland to the position she
formerly occupied under Governor
Ritchie, and Mr.. O'Conor is the only
candidate who can give the State that
quality and kind of leadership. I say
this in the capacity of private citi-
zen, not as a politician or office hold
er or candidate for any office; and in
saying it I feel that I voice the SEN
timent of a larger majority of the
Democracy of Maryland. What does
it matter to us as citizens from what
part of the State the Governor comes
be it Eastern Shore, Western Shore
or Baltimore City? The all-import-
ant thing is to secure the services of
the best possible Governor so that the
greatest benefits may be conferred
on the people and the greatest pro-
gress and Advancement made. To OBJ
tain these results, leadership of the
highest order is required.
am unalterably opposed to our
State coming under the domination of
the machine rule. Notwithstanding
the integrity, the great administrative
ability and genius of Governor Ritch-
lie, some of the evils of entrenched poll
tical power evidenced themselves in
the later years of his administration
through the betrayal of their trust
on the part of some persons appointed
by him to high office and it is by
those same discredited persons who
seeks to fasten themselves to the city
machine of Mayor Jackson with the
hope that they may be restored to
power if his machine is transferred
to Annapolis. We, in Maryland, have
had enough of machine politics and it
is inconcefvable to me that the Demo-
cracy of Maryland would place in
power a formidable political machine
which has threatned to assume con-
troll over the destinies of our State.
Thirdly, I am supporting Mr.
O'Conor for Governor because of his
known attitude toward the conserva-
ton of the States great natural re-
sources and his deep concern for the
welfare of those who earn their liveli-
hood in the seafood industry. This is
the problem that so vitality affects the
lives and fortunes of at least forty

FOUR BILLION DEFICIT

AS the Budget Bureau prepared

year expenditures, it was con
ceded in various Government
financial quarters that next year.;
deficit may touch close to the
three billion dollar point.
For the current fiscal year
which ends next June, a deficit
of $4,084, 900, 900 was foreseen.
Although the Treasury looks for
general business Improvement
over the next two years, many of
the expenditures embraced in the
present recovery program actually
will spread into the 1910 fiscal
year which starts next July l.
This is caused by the fact that
a large number of PWA and other
projects approved recently will not
get under construction until six
to nine months hence.
BORROWING PLANNED
In addition, national defense
costs will jump materially next
year when the recently author
lied battleship construction pro-
gram gets into full swing.
In order to. finance the deficit
anticipated for the current fiscal
year, the Treasury will borrow
nearly s., ,O0O, ,0OO, 900 from the pub
lie and another $700, 100000 from
Social Security tax receipts.
This will increase the public
lebt from it's present level of $751;
600 600, 900 to a new high Of $40,-
$50, ,O00, 900 on June 80, 1889.
With another So O00, 10000 def
cit in prospect for the coming
fiscal year, similar borrowing will
be resorted to and cause the debt
to. mount past $3.50 100000 in
June, 1910.
ISSUE OVERSUBSCRIBED
The Treasury already has
launched its fund-raising cam
paign in floating $70O, ,O0O. 600 in
new securities yesterday. This
entire issue was gobbled up before
midnight by eager investors.
Preparatory to drafting next
years budget program, Acting
Budget Director Daniel w. Bell
has just concluded a nationwide
survey of Federal spending pro-
jects. Bell visited numerous recla-
nation and power developments to
determine what future financial
needs would be for this type of
activity.
