clerk to the supervisors of elections.
Under the new law the officers of

Jackson Promises
Economy In Talk
Here Monday Night
Pay-As-You-GO Methods And
Revamping Of State Roads
Firmly Advocated

Mayor Howard w. jackson prom
Uses efficiency and economy in State
government if and when he is elected
Governor of Maryland. In talk
before the acknowledgements Club
of Montgomery County Monday night
at the Congressional Club, he boldly
advocated pay-as-you-go methods and
caustically criticised the diversion of
highway funds and the lack of plan
ming by the State Roads Commission.
The mayor also threatened job
holders and declared his opposition
to cushion funds. He said he was
ambitious to do for Maryland what
he has tried to accomplish for Balti-
more City and he deplored the fact
that in announcing his candidacy last
summer he met with attacks from
political enemies.
The meeting Monday night was
dinner session and a gathering of
men and women Of various Demo-
cratic leanings did the mayor honor
in thus signifying their support Of
his campaign for the governorship.
There were leaders present repre-
senting the organization faction
which is now headed by State Sena-
tor Stedman Prescott. But the bulk
OF the guests were affiliated with the
old anti-organization group of Mont
gomery Democrats. Jesse Nicholson,
president of the club, presided. He
is an employee of the county court
house and was appointed under the
Fusion administration. Observers
believe that Jackson will. get the
support of the majority of the politi-
cal lieutenants Of both wings of the
party.
"Those who have followed to any
extent the course Of the State gov
ernment," the mayor said, must
realize that it lacks those measures
which promote efficient and economi-
cal operation.
"There is no central engineering
department, with adequate authority
and personnel to supervise properly
the engineering activities of the vari-
Gus agencies. There is no central
agency through which construction
contracts are awarded to the lowest
responsible bidder.
81 am opposed to the plan under
which the State Roads Commission
awards it's own contracts. The spirit
of the budget amendment, if not the
letter, has been violated through the
creation of cushion funds by means
of which appropriations made in the
budget bill have been changed.
Funds dedicated to highway con-
struction and maintenance have been
diverted to other purposes.
"Single commissioners have been
replaced with boards of three menu
bers, and boards Of three have been
succeeded by boards Of five. The time
has come for the people Of Maryland
to call halt on this kind of govern
ment.
81 propose, If am nominated and
elected, to reorganize the various
agencies Of the State government, -
to personnel and as to operating
methods"

REACTIONS FROM Congressman
and others to the first 1888 message
of President Roosevelt were varied
and not too enthusiastic, one way or
the other. Applause mostly greeted
things like the observation that the
country must be "strong in self-de-
fense"; opposition to the dole; the
expression of disappointment over
criticism of the wage-hour bill and the
asserted objective to raise the nation
al income.
