CRANgllM CRACKERS

The men with whom today's cracker is concerned were two can- didates for the office of county au- ditor and two voters. One of the candidates, apparently, was just about as popular as the other. But some mind changing went on at the last minute.
 Gall one candidates Jones, and the other one Brown. The candi- dates would have tied in the elec- ton if both of the voters concerned, who were brothers, had voted for Brown, as they had intended to at first.
 But they both changed their minds at the last minute and voted for Jones. What was Jones ma Jority2

THE ROAD SITUATION
IAN Editorial)

There is one accomplishment of the Democratic Party
during the last four with which few Of citizens
familiar The State Roads Commission contended that
Montgomery County "over-drawn" approximately
$192O0000 The Republican State Roads Commission and
the Republican County Commissioners had
ferences trying arrive at settlement of their differences
of opinion The State Roads Commission Withholding
the accrung monies of Montgomery County from the
gasoline tax and consequence road system
sadly neglected State Senator Prescott seeing this
situation when he went to Annapolis Immediately started
work recy this deporab condition After many days
and months Of work upon the without going into the
details of the particular BILL he sponsored introduced got
passed and signed by the Governor bill that cancelled this
alleged overdraf without Montgomery County being
qured to put UP cent of its money.
The bill results in Montgomery County, in the future,
receiving its full portion of the gasoline revenue and
that thousands of dollars will be expended upon
State Roads that would not have been had this bill
not passed It actually, in dollars and cents means saw
ing to Montgomery County of not less than $175O000O
For the Democratic Party to accomplish this with the
Republicans having the majority of the Board of County
Commissioners and also Republican Governor earns in all
candor our praise and hearty commentator.

Business Men To
Postpone Action
On Bus Situation
Service Termed Inadequate;
Consolidated Schedule
Issued

A decision to postpone further ac-
ton concerning the bus service on the
Montgomery Bus Lines between
Gaithersburg, Rockville and Washing
ton until the current trial period of
four months has expired has been
reached by the Executive Committee
of the Rockville Chamber of Com
merce, with the approval of number
of residents attending the recent
meeting. The committee felt that the
present reduced service is inadequate
but urged residents to use the buses
to maintain revenues and thus pro-
vide a better foundation for any re-
quests to the Public Utilities Commits
sion for better service when the trial
period is over.
It was also decided to bring to the
attention of the citizens of the two
Maryland towns the bus service avail
able during the morning and after
noon hours when it is not required fol-
commuters, there having been NUM-
Der of complaints particularly about
this part of the service.
The Rockville Chamber of Com
merce has, to this end, issued a con-
solidated schedule of the service of
the Blue Ridge and Montgomery Bus
Lines, copies of which may be secured
at Barnett's Drug Store and the
Gaithersburg Pharmacy in Gathers
burg and in Rockville at Wilson's
Drug Store and Blue Ridge Terminal
at Charlie Vests Garage.

Shortage In State
Funds Continues To
Affect Welfare Bird.
Work Seriously Impaired; Sep
TENDER Viewed AS
Bad Month

At the regular meeting of the Mont
gomery County Welfare Board on
August II, discussion Of the present
financial status of the organization
provedthe major topic for discussion.
Mrs. Dorothy M. Kurtz, executive Sec
rotary, explained that during August
and September no funds were allotted
by the State for new grants. Conse-
quently, in order to meet the need by
ne wapplicants, if has been necessary
to make reductions whenever possible,
in allotments previously granted. Be-
cause relatives are somewhat more
able to assist during the summer sea-
son, it has proved possible to suspend
or reduce a number of grants with the
result that only one new approved
grant is being held because of the
agency's inability TO make payment.
The situation will in all probability,
prove more serious in September,
however, as it is anticipated that it
will be impossible to curtail current
obligations further. The financial
shortage is proving especially serious
in the Old Age Assistance category,
since there are more new applications
for this type of assistance, and in
comparison with the Aid to Dependent
Children group the need for assist
ance is more permanent. In the Aid
to Dependent Children category, there
is greater opportunity for families
to become self-supporting, since a
certain number Of incapacitated par
ents do recover their health and older
children become able to support their
younger brothers and sisters.

depreciation was begun recently when

Thomas Anderson Is
G. @. p. Candidate
For States Attorney
Prominent Rockville Citizen
And Juvenile Court
Judge Files

Thomas Minor Anderson, young
Rockville attorney and Judge of the
Juvenile Court, this week announced
his candidacy for the States Attor-
neyship on the Republican ticket.
He win be opposed in the general
election by either Ben Wilkinson, the
Democratic organization candidate,
or his anti-organization rival, Will
liam Wilder Evans.
Mr.. Anderson, probably the best
yote-getter the Republicans have dis
covered in many moons, is one Of
the most popular members of the
bar. He ran for the State Senate
in 1880 against the late Robert G..
Hilton, no mean opponent, and was
defeated by the slender margin Of
100 votes.
Judge Anderson was appointed
judge Of the Juvenile Court on
May 6, 1885, succeeding Judge Gran
vile Curry, of Bethesda. The ap-
Ipointment was made by Governor
Nice upon recommendation of the
Republican State Central Com
mittee. He is a past vice president
of the Maryland State Bar Asso-
citation, has served since 1928 as an
examiner in chancery and is a direc-
tor of the Montgomery County Ma
tional Bank. He is married and has
two children. His wife was for
merly Miss Berthy iGirola, of Neu-
chautel, Switzerland.
Judge Anderson was educated in
the public schools of the county and
obtained his law degree from the
University of Virginia. He started
the practice of law in 1927 when he
was 25 years old, He served three
terms as a member of the Rockville
Town Council and is the son Of the
late George NJ. Anderson and Mrs.
Julia Vinson Anderson.
AS one of the outstanding local
Republican leaders, Judge Anderson
has been highly regarded in G. o. P.
circles.

WE MAY SEEM harsh, those of US
who hold to the dying vestiges of
Democratic traditions-we may be
judged and swiftly condemned by
those who forget the very background
OF Democratic tenets-if so, we well
come the challenge in the same sense
of the word that prompted Patrick
Henry and George Washington to
defy the might of a majestic mon
arch. "Are we men, or are we mice?'
might be too often quoted-but it can
never lose its significance in the light
of what is going on in America today.
If We did not have men like Tydings,
what would become Of our two-party

Chief Of Police FL

Chief Of Police -
Rockville, Maryland
Dear Chief: f
On Augusta, 1888, there was pub
lished in the Daily Record a report d
two cases decided by the Court Of An
peals of MARYLAND involving the legal.
ity of certain types Of games of
chance. The cases I refer to is the one
Of Hoke, Jr., Nelson and Mcdaniel WI.
Police Commissioner Of Baltimore City.
and Roby VS.. Mantel.
In the first named case the Court Of
Appeals of this State decided that any
machine not strictly a pin ball ma
chine is not licensable under the relief
law, being Section 2SA Of Article Sc
OF the Code of Maryland. Pin Ball
machines are described by the Court
OF Appeals as follows: "That pin bali
machines, as known at the time of the
enactment, were essentially like the
familiar toy in which an inclined
board, curved at the top, has pockets
to receive balls rolling down, and pins
standing at intervals to obstruct and
defect the courses of the balls. and
&c the side, plunger on spring to
be pulled out and let 60 to send balls
Fup into play.
1t was also decided at the same
time, in the case Of Robey VS.. Mantel,
that claw machines, as we know them.
are likewise not icensable under the
relief law.
You will recall that about eight
months ago the Honorable Harold C.
Smith, Judge of our Police Court,
acquitted two defendants brought be-
fore him who were charged with OPP
Grating games Of chance, the gaines
of chance being slot machines with
pin ball attachments attached thereto.
1t is my recollection that Judge Smith
ruled that the pin ball attachments 10
these machines were sufficient to en-
title them to be licensed under the
license law, assuming that there was a
slight element Of skill sufficient to
bring them within the definition Of
the relief. law as interpreted by him.
After these two decisions we abided
BY his rulings and permitted the own
ers to install them in Montgomery
County If they had license attached
thereto. The two decisions that | have
above referred to by the Court Of Ap-
peals Of this State reverse Judge
Smiths rulings.
You are, therefore, instructed to ad-
wise your Department that any games
Of chance not pin ball machines as
defined above, whether they have
license tags thereon or not are in
violation of the law. This applies to
claw machines and all other types Of
machines not pin ball.
In fairness to those merchants Of
Montgomery County, as well as the
owners of these illegal machines, in

AS We See 1t
PRESIDENT RoosE.
By MONTCO

WHETHER PRESIDENT ROOSE-
WELT helped Congressman Lewis
and hurt Senator Tydings in
his endorse ment of the
formers candidacy for the Senatorial
nomination is not the point about
which there will be most reaction in
Maryland. The point in the matter is
whether or not Maryland Democrats
will resent outside interference in
their primary contests. The wave of
protest which followed the Presidents
endorsement of MIR. Camp In Georgia
might have been sufficient to deter a
less self-confident man, but Mr..
Roosevelt came right along and
plunged into Maryland's affairs. We
have no quarrel with Mr.. Lewis. His
right to seek the nomination is un-
questioned. But we do question the
propriety of the President of the
United States engaging in our own
State politics. The President AYERS
that Senator Tydings is Republican
because he has not blindly supported
every New Deal measure. Had it not
been for few men in the U. S. Sen
ate who had courage enough to oppose
some New Deal proposals we would
now be far deeper Gin the red. The
only way to tell the President that
we don't like his messing" into our
affairs is to repudiate his candidate,
Mr.. Lewis, by voting for Senator
Tydings.
