AUTO COLLISION AT
BYPASS JUNCTION

Zadock Jester, colored, aged about
22, is nursing bad cut over his eye,
an injured leg, and many minor bruis-
es, as the result of an auto accident
which occurred about o'clock We'd
nesday afternoon, at the junction OF
the old road leading from Pocomoke
to Snow Hill, and the new bypass.
The cause of the crash was mix
UP in signals. The colored man was
bound for Pocomoke; and William
Taylor, white, living on the Dun
Swamp road, was en- route toward
Snow Hill. Evidently, Taylor decided
the other car was headed for the by
pass, and bore to the left to allow it
to proceed. Instead the colored man
ran on the old road; the result was a
slight collision between the two mach
ines before the colored mans car
smashed into a Telephone pole, snap
ping it off, and thoroughly demolish-
ing the machine.
1t is not reported whether any one
was hurt in the Taylor car. The only
occupant of the other car was Jester

injuries in an accident which occur

careful medical attention and care
he will soon regain his usual strength
and vitality.
At the present time Master Leland
is confined to his bed and receiving
the condolences of his many friends

of Congress, it would be good stunt
to have Mr.. Roosevelt campaign in the
interest of an opponent. Tydings
gained thousands of hackers by reas-
on of Roosevelt's friendly" visit to
the counties in the interest of Lewis.
The other statewide candidates had
easy jobs also, and rode in on the
backs of fat majorities. Tydings,
O'Conor and Walsh were all survivors
of the World War, and the Veterans
of that conflict came nobly to their
support. There was no mistake about
their election.
Millard Tawes kept up with the pro-
fession and showed his opponent un-
der with a majority we'll over 100000.
Mr.. Tawes was deservedly popular on
the Shore, and his popularity here
seems to have infected trans-Chesa-
peakian territory, making many
friends on the other side.
Hon. T. Alan Goldsborough still
holds his unassailable position on the
Shore, and will once more represent
the First District in the Lower House
of Congress, position he has held
for 16 years.
The whole Worcester county ticket
was elected; all the candidates receiv-
ing majorities we'll over the 1000
mark.
Throughout the nation, the Repub-
lican party made substantial gains.
In the next Congress, there will be
nine new Republican Senators, and 76
new Representatives. While the Demo
Gratis will still have clear working
majority in both Houses, still the New
Deal smile is not so broad, and it is
safe to say Roosevelt is now think
ing less seriously of third term.
AS many as IL Governors rode in
on the Republican comeback; and to
all this Roosevelt is silent. He is
wondering where his wholesale popu-
larity attending his twice victorious
campaigns for the Presidency, has
vanished. Now the Republicans are
looking toward 1910 with more fixed
and encouraged gaze, than is the
president.
Maryland can congratulate itself
upon it's return to Democratic head
ship. There is no telling where the
old craft would have stranded with
another year of Nice at the helm. All
now, are confident of capable and
honest administration.
