MoNemar, were almost overcome by
gas fumes last Monday morning at
an early hour at the Schell home OH

fumes had evidently begun to have
their deadly effect. The gas was
emitted from coal stove in which the
fire had been banked for the night.

proved his strength by being elected
County Commissioner on the Repub-
lican ticket by a majority of more
than 1000, while other Republicans
running on the same ticket were de-
feated by majorities as high as 5000.
Our Democratic friends privately
admit that they fear only Walter john
son of all the candidates that are on
the Republican ticket, and some will
admit that if he is nominated he
probably would be elected in Novem-
Der.
Mr.. Charles Stewart, of Allegany
county, is again candidate for the
nomination, and while Mr.. Stewart
in the last campaign received very
good vote, it was the same old story
and he went down in defeat because of
his weakness in Montgomery county.
Walter johnson is known and idol
lied by thousands of people all over
the United States. His long and brill
liant career as leading pitcher in
baseball has made him an idol of
American youth, He typifes the high
est type of American citizen and has
been held up to the American youth
as an outstanding example of an hon
est, clean-living, high-typed man. If
and elected to Congress,
he would Immediately become one of
the best known and influential first
termers in the Lower House. There
would probably not be member of
either the Upper or Lower House who
would not know Walter Johnson by
name and admire him for the life he
has led and his outstanding character.
His personal popularity, his honesty
and integrity, will commend for him
respect and support not Immediately
available to other new members.
Walter Johnson is successful far
mer in Montgomery county, knows
the problems of the farmer and is q
sound, safe and conservative thinker
and would be most creditable repre-
in Congress from this Dis
trict.
On behalf of this very splendid and
candidate, a candidate of
whom the Republicans have a right to
be proud, earnestly hope that the
will go to the polls on
Primary Election day and support this
splendid Republican and his nomina-
ton will mean the return of the
Sixth Congressional District to the
column.
