Most pronounced Willkie senti-
ment is felt" mot heard) on the
Eastern Shore where an oyster is
everyman's world. True to tradi-
ton, the Shore counties tell no
evil, hear no evil and see no evil
They just nudge each other. But
your ribs can ache from the nudg-
ing. Even the Gallup Poll-vaulters
are puzzled. A deafening silence
greeted Gallup Poll-vaulter S. L.
Marshall of Cambridge when he
tried to sample Democrats on how
they stood.
Note: Ii no one has ever seen
the rara avis. a Gallop poller, you
can find Marshall at the Cavalier
Apartments in Cambridge
Best way to dope the Eastern
Shore is to weigh all silent SEN
timent" among Democrats on the
Willkie side of the scales. If you
add this SIS sentiment to the Re-
publican vocal sentiment you will
be inclined to agree that Willkie
is now even, or has the edge over
the President in of the 9 shore
counties with election day a month
off.
Reasons: Voters against third
term; farm-labOr costs multiplying
farm profits, domestic issues loom
larger with voters than foreign;
finally Vice Presidential Candidate
Wallace either is disliked or gets
no response at all.
1t is predicted by many farmers,
merchants and small business men
that the large registered Democra-
tic majorities in such counties as
Caroline and Kent will dwindle
when the curtains are pulled
around the voting booths. Kent
County, for instance, with reg
istered majority of 1920 went for
FDR by 1913 in 1892 but in 1886
the President carried the county
by only 397 votes. Caroline, with
a similarly large registered major
ity, is still out in front for the
President but not by as wide a mar
gin as would seem on the surface.
It must be borne in mind. also,
that the Eastern Shore has wit
messed large influx OF wealthy

Willkie the regular Republicans

Willkie Clubs to come forward at
the last moment and help them out
with donations. In the meantime
they are making every effort to col

The Democrats are meeting

intending to make this country

registered as Democrats but Will
just as politely vote Republican in
national elections.
1t does not follow. however, that
a vote for Willkie means a vote for
Duer for Congress. If Duer is to

have been stumping in whispers.
There is an absolute consensus
that if the Judge would take the
stump and confine himself entire
ly to Maryland's need for strong
representation on Capitol Hill,
avoiding all Willkie-Republican
talk. he would even carry WicOm-
leo County where Hale Harrison
is trying desperately to keep air

it now stands. Duer has all the
respect and Ward most of the
votes. A county-by-county debate
between the two would puncture

PITCHER VS.. CONGRESSMAN
In Maryland's other doubtful
contest the Sixth District =
each day makes the outcome less
doubtful. and, unless Walter
Johnson (who got off to good
start) receives more expert hand
ling during the next 30 days, Bill
Byron will knock him out of the
box.
Several things have contributed
to the Byron ascendency including
party harmony both statewide and
in Frederick county. The ap-
pointment of Lynch Gross to the
Brunswick postmastership helped;
also the hard and expert work of
Magistrate Alton w. Bennett and
the hard-hitting, vote-getting tao
tics of George Mouse" Grove
who has made peace with. both
Bennett and Byron
Other factors are the fine job
Byron has done in getting Federal
contracts for Frederick products,
and his excellent services on
behalf of the Maryland and Vir-
ginia Milk Producers Association
during the Congressional investi-
CATION which has been widely ap-
plauded by B. B. Derrick, secre-
tary of the Association.

candidates start the last month OF
the campaign, the Maryland
Merry-Go-Round has just comples-

the State which shows, in general
the following:

edge today over Willkie in all
counties except Allegany,
Carroll, Calvert. Charles,
Garrett, and the Eastern
Shore counties of Somerset.
Worcester, Talbot, Kent and
Queen Anne.

3 Congressman Byron is COM
ing up fast to pass Walter
Johnson in the Sixth District,
with prediction that Walter
will falter in Frederick and
Allegany and may do no bet
ter than nose out Byron in
his own county of Montgom-
cry.
4 Congressman David Ward is
firing rapidly as Judge Rob
ert Duer, his COP rival,
makes inroads in all counties
except Wicomico which saw

ia, Iong-expected verbal bat
tie between the Mayor and the
Ex-Mayor got away to a grand
start last week during the open
forum called for discussion of
the lost dual highway project
No decision was reached, but
impartial observers are inclined
to give Kid Elgin the decision
by close margin.
Mote: The fight originally
scheduled for ten grueIing rounds
was called at the start Of the
fifth stanza when the Boxing
Commission decided that neither
boy was in condition to GO the
distance.)
Both lads came out rushing in
the opening round, with The
King swinging left and right
to the head. He charged that

the Administration had no money
with which to operate, or some
thin. Kid Elgin went down for
the count of five. At the bell ne
was in there swinging. 1t was
the Kings round.
A complete reversal of form
was in order in the second round.
The Kid angered by the blows of
his opponent in the opening
frame, shot his punches straight
from the shoulder. He fIoored
the King by charging that dur
ing his administration the people
of Hagerstown knew what he
was doing and that he always
took them into his confidence.
"And that" said the Kid, sis ex-
actIy opposite to the policies of
this administration - they hold
meetings behind closed doors
and nobody knows what's going
on" The blows had telling eff
feet on The King. His handlers
carried him back to his corner at
the bell.
Round Three: The Kid comes
back with another series of jabs
raining sharp, hard rights at
the King. There is lot of in

"That place is worse now than it
was before" says the Councilman
and the battle is resumed. At
the bell both lads show signs
of the terrific punishment.
Round Four: The referee
called both boys to the center of
the ring and warned them
against hitting below the belt.
"He started it" says the King.
"He started it" says the Kid.
And says the referee: "Cut out

List Of Potfers
Five and Dime Cooperating
With Retdil Clerks and
Brotherhood

Atlantic City, N. J.-An interesting
and welcome story was brought out
opening day at the afternoon session
of the Brotherhood's 1910 convention
when Matte McGill asked the as
sembly's attitude concerning the
Boardwalk McCrory store.
In answer President Duffy recounted
the early history of the differences
between the retail clerks organiza-
tion and the company; how the en-
ployes had been practically 100 per
cent unionized, but forsook the organ
ization for a social club after the firm
sent in personnel directors from New
York.
The Brotherhood chief stated that
he thought labor unresponsive when
he had reports Of large crowds visit
ing the five and ten during the Christ
mas rush.
However, when President Duffy had
consented to conduct conference
along Brotherhood S. P. A. lines
for a city-wide contract after letters
from both sides had failed to obtain
any results, he found the new Nc
Crory manager, Mr.. Steinmetz, not
only a very intelligent man, but also
very cooperative one and willing to
help the agreement in any way. Meet
ings were held June 19 and rs with
