-
This campaign is SO quiet that
even the candidates are becom-
inc bashfui. arrived at that
conclusion last Sunday, when at
least one thousand taxpayers
gathered around that huge
stone and brick structure at
Franklin and Potomac streets, to
hear speeches and lamp the big
shots of the State Prior to
the introduction of the principal
speakers the visiting dignitaries
were presented 10 the voters and
the customers got fleeing
glimpse of 'em as they stood up
and took bow. But what con-
fuses me, from a political stand
point, is this: Immediately fol-
loving the ceremonies the can
didates vanished-just like that!
! Now get me right - amt
the type to even suggest that
candidates campaign on Sunday
(?) especially in our new City
Hall, but after all it was grand
opportunity for the visiting can
didates to shake hands and
meet the boys and gals here
7bouts. One thousand of 'em
milling about with no place to
go. | doubt if either candidate
will get that many Washington
County folks together again at
any one time prior to the pri-
mary. And the boys muffed the
play! Why they ought to have
been there far, far into the
night. know lot of politi-
clans who, under similar circum-
stances would have helped the
janitor lock the doors!
Those who are wondering why
the Governor has not appointed
Penal Farm Superintendent
can keep on wondering until af-
ter the primary. I'm told that
nothing will be done until then,
and from all reports the Cover
nor is due for headache.
Three outstanding candidates are
in Western Maryland - a resi-
dent of AIIegany county being
supported by Thomas w. Pang-
born of this county, and two To-
cal candidates, both of whom
are members of the State Gen.
trail committee. Best bet is that
the committee member living
in Hagerstown, will get the nod.
Speaking of Penal Farm ap-
pointments reminds me of the
fact that DR.. Harry Grove, local
dentist is reported slated for the
dental post at the farm. A ma
iority of the Central Committee
is reported favorable and his
name will probably be in the
Governors greenbag
The "cIaiming season" is here.
Some months ago reminded
the voters that before the blue
birds made their appearance
they would hear the candidates
making claims to territory sal
ready in the bag" Well, it the
4 boys continue to do much more
claiming they'll be right back
where they started. The county
topping the list in Western
Maryland seems to be Frederick
at the present writing, but even
! that will be changed a dozen
