STEWART URGES ELECTION
OF WALTER P. JOHNSON
Says Byron Has Given Citizens
Only About Half-Time Rep
resentatiOn In Past 2 Years

A. Charles Stewart, of Frostburg,
in an address broadcast from Wash
ington, D. c., on Monday night, urged
voters of the Sixth District to vote
for Walter P Johnson, Republican
candidate for the House of Represen-
tatives.
Mr.. Stewart termed William D.
Byron, present Representative from
the Sixth district and Democratic OPP
ponent of Mr.. Johnson, as "The Little
Man Who Was Not There" when it
comes time to vote on many important
measures which have been before the
House since Byron took office in 1889
The official record of the Seventy
sixth Congress shows that out of 296
roll calls in the House of Represen-
tatives, Mr.. Byron missed exactly 1888
On forty-six per cent of the opportu-
mites given him to register a vote in
Congress, Byron was absent.
Mr.. Stewart recounted in detail a
number of bills which were voted on
when Mr.. Byron was absent, each one
dealing with national issues of great
importance to the people of the ma
ton.
eve must put into Congress a man
who will attend to the public bust
ness. When we elect Representative
we want a full-time man, not a part
time man. We want one who will stay
on the job; who will earn by faithful
and attentive service the salary he
takes from the public treasury.
"Such a man is our great national
hero, Walter Johnson, who never yet
has failed to be where he ought to be
and who for his reliability, as well as
his good sense, is respected and be-
loved by all our people,"
