CONGRESSIONAL CAMPAIGN


EARLY IN the Congressional cam
paign we endorsed the candidacy OF
State Senator Dudley G. Roe for the
Democratic nomination for Congress
man for the First District which in
cludes the nine Eastern Shore cOun-
ties We based our endorsement
upon Senator Roe's legislative and
business experience and also upon
the fact that his home is within a
few miles of Kent County. He may
we'll be considered local candidate
due to his familiarity with this coun-
ty and it's people. His political ca
reer in Queen Annes County and in
the State has been one of service and
included very little compensation for
his efforts. His personal and bust
ness life in his community has been
outstanding. Efforts to involve him
in a bribery charge in Wicomico
county proved to have failed as a
result of the trial and conviction
of DR.. Segall in that county this
week. The evidence, as brought out
in the trial, lead to the belief that
Mr.. Roe was slated as victim of a
political trick during the special cleo
ton for Congressman two years ago.
This evidence clearly indicated the
political trick but showed that he
did not fall for it. Now that the
trial is over Senator Roe is in the
Congressional fight and his best re-
commentator can be taken from his
personal, business and political re-
cord. -Chestsrtown Transcript
