Labor Day Speech
To Be at Denton
BY THEODORE HUNTLEY

BY THEODORE HUNTLEY
President Roosevelt will visit
Maryland next week at the invita-
tion of Governor Nice.
He will spend two days in the
State-one in southern Maryland,
one on the Eastern Shore.
Labor Day Speech
There will be at least one speech
on Labor Day, at Denton, Caro-
line county. the home of Repre-
sentative T. Alan Goldsborough,
whose desire to defeat Senator
Tydings for the Democratic Sena-
torial nomination is equalled only
by that of the President himself {.
Thus the Presidents plan to get
into the Maryland fight finally
fits into a pattern which has been
taking shape for several weeks.
The first threads were woven into
the States political fabric before
he sailed home from Panama. The
plan to cruise UP Chesapeake Bay
and stop on the Eastern Shore
was under consideration then.
Now it becomes official.
Significantly, also, the Roose-
welt appeal for Little Davey''
Lewis is to be made in the south
ern tobacco country and the flat
counties of the Shore.
