GOVERNOR NICE GIVES
POCOMOKE THE GO-BY

Pocomoke City was visited by num-
erous State and County candidates
last week; by Democrats on Thurs
day evening; by Republicans, on Fri
day afternoon and evening.
The Democrats held forth in the
local Armory and large crowd was
out to listen to the discussion of the
various issues. Those who spoke
were: Senator Millard E. Tydings,
who is out for reelection; J. Millard
Tawes, candidate for the office Of
Comptroller; William G. Walsh, for
Attorney General; Herbert r. O'Con-
or, for Governor; and James A.
Young, for Clerk of the Court of Ap-
peals. Hon. T. Alan Goldsborough,
who was down on the programme did
not appear here, but spoke in Snow
Hill.
Three Democratic meetings were
held on that evening; Berlin and Snow
Hill being the other two places where
the speakers appeared. These ap-
pearances made quick changes neces-
sary, consequently, the speeches were
short, and to the point. All the can
didates made fine impressions, and,
no doubt, all will be carried across by
big majorities.
Owing to the "triple-header", there
was a division in the attendance Of
the local candidates. Some were here
and were introduced by Godfrey Child,
ESQ.,, who was chairman of the meet
ing. In the hallway were noticed JOS
