Il Might Be
| Wrong--BUT|
=by p. G. Stromberg;

for President in this column /
have tried to present some sane,
fair and impartial thoughts. If
by so doing / have succeeded in
making any small contribution
toward final decisions and clear
thinking it has been worth the
space and effort.
From the many comments
received, I am convinced that
readers of newspapers do not
crave being told how terrible
each candidate is nor how to
vote. They want fair and
unbiased tat e m ent of facts
presented in a manner which will
be of aid in considering the
issues involved.
1t has always been my conten-
ton that the more bitter and
vehement one becomes in his
espousal of a cause the less
likely he is to win converts. The
more / am told that I'm wrong
with no convincing reason WHY
I'M WRONG the more l become
convinced that Pm right and the
less susceptible / become to
sounder reasoning. Little that
has been said in the present
campaign has in any way con-
tributed to a decision on my part.
Deeply rooted convictions have
remained unmoved by all the
expensive flow of aerial bonn
bardments. shall therefore
cast my vote next Tuesday solely
on the basis of these deep con-
! victions of national well being.
l shall carry less sentimental
feeling for party success and less
burning enthusiasm than l have
ever known in a Presidential
election.
For the past two weeks I have
been on the receiving end of
such epithets as "mugwump"
and "straddler" and have been
charged with lack of intestinal
fortitude. And with all this l
can only feel pity for those who
are SO rabidly pro- or anti
Roosevelt or Willkie. There are
men with whom / have talked
who have permitted themselves
to become so completely wrought
up over this election that I fear
an unfavorable verdict next
Tuesday might prove too great
shock for them to bear. They
have reached the point where
sound reasoning is no longer
possible. They are unfair to
themselves.
Whether or not 1 am strad-
der l am certain that this
country will still be the best
place on the face of the earth
regardless of who becomes
President for the next four
years. I cannot subscribe to the
thought that four more years of
Roosevelt will spell the end of
our democracy nor can 1 accept
the thought that the rejection of
Roosevelt and the Inauguration
of Willkie will bring chaos. On
the contrary, I'm content to
accept the verdict next Tuesday
with complete resignation and no
misgivings.
1t is unfortunate that 1910
had to be a Presidential year.
There is always the likelihood of
giving to the world an impress
sion of disunity when we so need
to present a solid front. We
can, however, be thankful that
the two candidates have not been
in disagreement on foreign policy
and both have espoused the cause
of giving to Britain all the aid
possible. On another score we
might well be assured, That is
the solid front we'll present
Immediately following the cleo
ton when the world will learn
how quickly we put aside our
political arguments and all
march under the one banner.

Rockville, Maryland.

Editor,
MONTGOMERY COUNTY SENTINEL,
Rockville, Maryland.
Dear Sir:
"The Montgomery County "Inde-
pendent" devoted most of the
front and editorial pages of its
last weeks issue to circulating an
untrue charge which is summed
up in the following headlines
quoted from the Independent:
Roosevelt and New Dealers
Give Brooke Lee $3.50, 100000"
Bulk of Taxes Paid to United
States By County Residents
Goes TO Brooke Lee"
"This charge is untrue because
/ have not received and will not
receive any of the $8SO,O0O.O0
which is a mortgage loan insured
by the Federal Housing Admins
tration, placed by The RFC Mort
gage Company on PA apartments
now nearing completion east Of
Silver Spring. The money from
this mortgage loan will all be paid
to the general contractor who win
build the apartments with whom
have no connection, or to pay
carrying charges such as taxes,
FILA insurance fee, etc.
"Since there are no United
States taxes included in an FHA
insured mortgage loan that por-
ton of the charge is also untrue.
'The Independent has attempted
to make this untrue charge part
of the current political campaign
in Montgomery County and to-
day sent the editor of the Islde-
pendent a letter correcting the un-
true charges which that paper has
made requesting that this true
statement of the facts be printed
in the issue of the Independent
which will appear November LIST.
"The Independent has first made
an untrue series of charges and
then directly attacks Democratic
Congressman William d. Bryon as
partly responsible for the situa-
ton charged by the Independent.
l further desire to state that Mr..
Byron, to the best of my knowl-
edge and belief has never even
heard about the Piney Branch
Apartment project unless he has
read of it in last weeks Ipdepemd-
emit. I have never MENTIONED the
matter to Mr.. Byron and never
asked him to do anything in con-
nection Herewith. This incident is
just part of the regular smear
proceedings of campaigning regu-
larly followed by the MONTGOMERY
However, in view of both the
unfair and untruthful attitude the
Independent has taken for years
past when discussing any kind Of
a situation that effects me, / do
not believe that they will be fair
enough to print my letter this
week. I am consequently attach
ing a copy of this letter to the
Independent and asking you to
print it in THE SENTINEL Of
October 1st.

Old Tacoma
Is Scene Of
Ship Blast
Fire Boot. Police
Rush to Aid of
Disabled Vessel

Three men were seriously burned
Thursday afternoon when gasoline
exploded on the fishing boat Star
OF Heaven" and set the craft
ablaze.
All available police ambuIances
were rushed to the old fish dock
In Old Tacoma to take those
aboard to hospitals.
Rushed to Tacoma General hos
pital were Gordon Carter, "A, Of
Anacortes; william o'Brien, 26,
Port Angeles. and Terrence Fro
mach, Seattle. Extent Of their in
juries had not been determined.
The Star OF Heaven took on 800
gallons Of gasoline for fuel at the
Tacoma Boat Mart. 2315 Ruston
way, at IL o'clock.
The boat shifted to the old fish
ing dock and at 1:15 the explosion
occurred.
A woman employee at the Dick
man Lumber Co. heard the explo-
sion. She looked out of a window
to see timbers flying high in the
air." She called police.
After the explosion, the boat
burst into flames. The fireboat
sped to the scene and, after an
hour, was successful in quenching
the flames.
Later the ship partially sub
merged and flames broke out anew.
Exact damage to the vessel had
not been determined.
O'Brien was able to tell police
that the trio had attempted to
start fire In an oil burner when
the blast occurred. He said that
the oil seemed to "backfire" after
1t was ignited.
