More Of Crystal Clear
Revitalized Streamlining

The much heralded Republican
convention keynote speech has come
and gone. Minnesota's young COVER
nor emphasized throughout his speech
what he deemed was tragic lack
of preparedness.
Mr.. Stassen stated that the presi-
dent and congress are entitled to the
support of all, but even more i'm
portant is the responsibility of citi-
zens to vote. He went on to say that
it is essential to good government that
citizens criticize, analyze frankly and
fairly, and that even severe condem-
nation shows democracy is working.
To be sure, his speech was one of
not only criticism but condemnation.
He even went so far as to talk about
Pre- nj RooSevelt's extremely
clever but dangerously deceptive
manner"
The governor talked about bungling
members of the Democratic national
administration; impractical dreamers;
demagogues; wealthy play boys APP
pointed to foreign diplomatic posi-
luis, NcW OCdl incompetence, lllS
travesty of inefficiency in our fed
eral government; an eleventh hour
confession of failure by appointment
of two Republicans to the cabinet;
and big noise and little stick.
It does seem little out of place
for a 33 year old person to be criti-
Ching and even condemning, as he
did, men of so, go, 70 and over. He
can not be accused of modesty. APP
parently he is overlooking with cocki-
ness, but the "big noise" will be taken
out of him in due time.
The Minneapolis Morning Tribune
of June 25th, lists the following para
graphs as the highlights of Governor
Stassen's C. o. P. keynote address at
Philadelphia:
It is a fact today, well known
by the heads of every govern
ment in the world, and belatedly
coming to the knowledge of the
people of this nation, that we are
tragically unprepared.
We must advance upon four
major fronts-national prepared
ness -. domestic economic well
fare :. fifth column defense -.

A Little Spice

The boy of the hour is the one who
makes each minute count.
What greater discovery can per-
son make than that God can fill his
mind with love instead of hate.
He's a rare man who can refuse
victory at the expense of honesty.
Don't be afraid to make mistake,
but be afraid to make the same one
twice.
Education is merely chest of tools;
tools are useless without the man
who knows how to use them.

Washington, d. c., Nov. Sit
was Farmer Casey of Gaithersburg
to whom the Democrats turned
during the last two days of the
campaign to refute some of the
SrOss distortion of anti-Roosevelt
newspapers.
Over nationwide network from
Chicago Gene Casey, who helped
expose the Baltimore Sun during
the 1888 primary, told midwestern
farmers just exactly what the Chi
CagO Tribune and other papers had
said about Roosevelt and compared
their statements with the real
facts. He particularly emphasized
the failure of the Chicago Tribune
80 print Democratic statements
compared with the front page
prominence given to Republican
statements.
It will be recalled that Casey
did similar job over Station
WBAL in Baltimore in 1888 in or
der to set the Maryland electorate
straight regarding some of the
news distortion of the Baltimore
Sun.
This past week Casey spoke from
Station WGN, which happens to be
owned by the Chicago Tribune.
And when the radio manager saw
the text of Casey's speech and its
caustic exposure of the Tribune,
he nearly tainted. In fact, he
threatened to bar Casey from the
air. However, after a heated ar.
gument during which Casey threat
eRed to take the next train to
Washington and lay the matter be-
fore the F. G. c., the station man
ager finally permitted Casey to
broadcast. Thus WGN, owned by
the Chicago Tribune, was forced
to carry scatching rebuke of the
Tribune's news policy.

WILLKIE AND JACKSON

Aboard Wendell WILKES train
at Cumberland there was a hot
and heavy debate, unknown to
Willkie, as to whether Mayor How
ard Jackson of Baltimore should be
invited to sit on the platform and
perfunctorily welcome" the COP
candidate to Baltimore.
The alternatives, headed by Kirk
Landon, publicity steam engine for
the Maryland Wl.inie Clubs, and
David ingalls, of the Ohio Taftees,
considered it smart political
move to invite Jackson. They
pointed to the Mayors two speech
es condemning New Deal spending
and his luke-warmness toward
Roosevelt 1t was known that
Jackson would probably accept, but
it was also known that the mayor
had a good "cut", for he was SEIZED
uled to appear at labor's Lyric
Theatre Roosevelt rally.
However, Ex-Governor Nice
Dave Tilghman of the State Cen
trail Committee, Russell Daven
port and Joe Millward, the speech
train busters of the Willkie cam
paign, sharply vetoed the idea as
containing too much back-fire pos
sibilities. 1t was enough, they ar
gued, that WILKES speech would

JUDGE O'DUNNE

There was many an incOngruous
situation at the Baltimore Willkie
Rally where politics made strange
seat-fellows. For instance, Judge
Eugene O'Dunne, staunch Demo
crat and no Willkie bolter, found
he was to squire three out-of-town
ladies the night of the rally and
they all insisted upon going to see
w. w. "out of curiosity"
So the Judge, who avoids all po-
litical rallies, chivalorusly agreed
to be their battering ram. 1t didn't
require much battering for he was
recognized Immediately and an at
tendant beloved to the police:
Make way for Judge O'Dunne."
Slightly more florid than usual
the Judge eventually found himself
and ladies seated in the section
marked Reception Committee. ;"
Just then he heard voice on the
outside. 1t was that of Edgar AL
len Poe, former attorney general
of Maryland, crying out that he
couldn't get seat despite the fact

airy alacrity to duty, Johnson never
bothered to reply. But as time
went on, Republican leaders began
to note a trend of the colored vote
away from Republicanism, so
these leaders decided something
should be done to check the defec-
ton.
They all agreed that DR.. Bourne
would be just the man to help
them. When they called on him,
however, they were informed of his
letter to Johnson which had not
been answered.
oh" they explained, walter
probably never received it - prob
ably your letter got mixed up with
campaign circulars. We will send
him a wire right away! Thanks
for telling us!"
Within no time at all, a tele-
graph boy appeared at Bourne's Of
flee with a message signed by Wal
ter Johnson explaining that his let
ter had not been received but that
he would look into the omission
of Nice's name Immediately. DR..
Bourne was a little puzzled by the
rapidity with which he heard from
Johnson. SO he promptly checked
with the telegraph office and learn
ed that the message had been
drafted by three white men and
sent to him over the signature OF
Walter Johnson

he had publicly bolted to Willkie.
Good-naturedly the Judge called
back that Poe should be on the
stage where he certainly would
find a welcome.

TYDINGS' DILEMMA

was going to vote in this election
In fact, not even his best friends
actually know how he voted though
they believe he voted the straight
Democratic ticket.
Meanwhile, however. Mrs. Tyd-
ings made no secret of her support
for Willkie while other members
Of the family exhibited Willkie
buttons.
Inside fact is that Willard teet-
cred back and forth between open
support for WiIlkie and the realiza-
ton that he could not desert the
Democratic ticket and expect to
run in a Democratic primary for
reelection in 1914.
Fairly early in the campaign he
told his close friend. Buck" Cash
Or at least SO Cash reports
that at the proper time he would
make a speech for President Roose-
welt. When this got into the news
papers, however. Millard's Repub-
lican friends eXerted considerable
pressure. and did their best to win
him around to Willkie. Simultane-
ously. Willkie began to show real
gains in the middle west and ap-
parently Senator Tydings figured
that President Roosevelt was not
the sure bet that he looked to be
in the early fall
At about that time Willard wrote
his letter to Harry B. Cannon, on
the Eastern Shore. making it clear
that he was opposed to Roosevelt's
reelection and that his trip with
Roosevelt through the Aberdeen
Proving Grounds was purely for
national defense purposes.
At the very end. however, when
the race appeared to be closer
than ever Willard pulled in his
horns, at least publicly, regarding
his opposition to Roosevelt. He
kept absolutely silent. To close
| friends, of course, it was all too
obvious that he was against the
PRESIDENT and at one time he told
members of his family that Will
kie's speech in Baltimore might
turn the tide against Roosevelt.
Actually Willard was doing some
very careful figuring He had his
! nf
paper on which he had estimated
the vote by counties in the entire
State. This estimate always show
| ed. however, that Roosevelt would
carry Maryland, even though by a
much smaller margin than in 1886.
pAfter ALL Senator Tydings is one
of the shrewdest politicians in
Maryland and probably no one was
| in a better position to judge the
relative strength of Roosevelt and
Willkie.
Note: At one time Tydings was
reported to have told Senator
Wheeler of Montana, and Senator
Hiram Johnson of California, that
there was no use in his coming out
for Willkie since any statement
from him would not swing more
than 1000 Maryland votes one way
or the other.
ROUND THE FREE STATE
Inside dope regarding Mayor
Jackson's blasts against the New
Deal is that Howard had been re-
ceiving some ammunition from big
insurance companies. Tip-off was
the wording of the Mayors speech.
es He used terms and phrases
which he never would have coined
J himself. For instance, no one who
: knows Howard well ever heard
: him talk about Leon Blum oil

eminent Yet in the speeches
which his insurance friends help
ed cOncoct for him. he went into a
learned diagnosis OF French poll
tics and it's comparison to the New
Deal. Wayne Johnson, whose
race track under glass is famous
on the Eastern Shore, was one of
the chief money raisers for Roose-
welt At one time while touring
Texas in behalf of campaign con-
tributions, a Texas oil man wasn't
quite sure that Wayne was the
real Mccoy and called up Wash
ington to have him identified. In
the end it took Gene Casey to as
sure the Texas oil man that Wayne
Johnson was o. K. Funny how
Marylanders bump together half
way across the continent. - Mrs.
Willkie received so many flowers
at Cumberland that she suggested
they be turned over to a hospital
| on arrival at MartinSburg. But the
Cumberland flowers got no further
than the station platform at Mar
| tinsburg and wound up reposing
back in Mrs. Wilkes arms much
to the confusion of a Boy Scout and
! to Kirk Landon whose duty it was
to see they were property dis
patched to the hospital. What hap
pened was that the noise was so
terrific at Martinsburg that all an
excited Boy Scout could hear from
Landon was something about Mrs.
WILKES flowers. So before the
good-deeder knew it he had been
pushed right up to the rear plat
form where he handed back Cum
berland's floral homage in the
name of the city of Martinsburg.

Continued From Page u

Tops in the "FooIish Depart
ment" was that local nanufac-
turer who talked nothing but
politics during the campaign,
button-hoed all his acouaint-
ances from early morning until
late at night, distributed litera-
ture like sailor spending
money, lost countless hours of
sleep and made himself general
ly unpopular in these parts, not
because of his efforts on behalf
of his candidate, but because he
refused to see anything good in
the other fellows choice. Why
he was SO busy, I'm told, that he
had little time to give to ma
tional defense orders rolling into
his plant!
AS to the various polls, only
two in my opinion, hit the re-
suits smack on the nose, and
readers would do we'll to place
these two down in their memory
book for future reference. They
were the Philadelphia Record
(finaD poll, and Fortune Maya
zine. The GalIop poll didn't do
so good, but at that it was much
more accurate than millions of
Democrats and Republicans
figured it would be. The accur-
acy of these polls also convinces
me that we will continued to be
plagued with these things in flu
ture campaigns.
am wondering, too, just what
effect the newspapers of today
have on the public, as far as
public opinion in an election
campaign is concerned. With 90
per cent of the Press against
President Roosevelt, he wins
going away. Newspapers, sta
tistics show, is the best medium
of advertisement, but when it
comes to telling folks how to
vote - we'll, that day seems to
have passed, and that also goes
for both parties. The Baltimore
Sunpapers is good example in
Maryland, and the New York
Times, probably the greatest
newspaper in the United States,
another. So it you ever become
a candidate for office, don't be
too down-hearted if they're agin'
yuh!
For years I've been hearin'
heap about Col. Brooke Lee,
down in Montgomery County and
his ability to produce votes for
the Donkey Party. But the Col
onel didn't look so good this trip
he just squeezed through
with a 1854 majority for Roose-
welt. Personally | think the top
ranking Democratic leader in the
State lives right here in Hagers-
