ROUND THE FREE STATE
Maryland did it's bit for the four
teen new ships of the Liberty Fleet
when the S. S. Patrick Henry slid
down the waves last week at the
Bethlehem Fairfield shipyard.
The air was full o cheers, sawdust,
pigeons and congratulations. -
Senator George Radcliffe also did
his bit with highly forensic
speech in which he congratulated
everyone, even including the
pigeons which carried the news of
the launching to the naval station
at Lakehurst, N. j., where it was
phOned to President Roosevelt. -
Behind the scenes, the pigeons al
most failed to be on the job. When
their cage was opened, they staged
sitdown and it took Radcliffe's
secretary, Bertha Joseph, and
young naval attorney Eugene
O'Dunne, son of Baltimore's popu-
lar judge, to push them into action.
- That unpaid campaign dinner
bill of Y40 at the Dixie Tavern in
Grantsville contracted by Mrs
Byron's cohorts, was almost paid
the other day. De Sales Maher,
who got the job of Mining Inspector
of Scales and Weights from Cover
nor O'Conor, even though he was
O'Conor's most vehement opponent
in Allegany County, proposed that

slipped miserabIy during the past
three years and if he were to
run today, my bet is that he
would tail the field.
Hizzoner missed his big op-
portunity in 1888, and that was
because he was too sure of vic
tory. He told the cock-eyed
world that he would be the next
Governor of Maryland and was
so convincing that thousands be-

Whatever might be your opin-
ion, the fact remains that West

the ballots in this section of the

speeches for F.D.R. while the
Mayor of Baltimore Town was
making anti-New Deal talks to
insurance men at "off the rec

speeches, in my opinion, were
the beginning of the end for
Howard, judging from the crti-
cism directed his way by down.
the-Iine Democrats hereabouts.
There are not few Democrats
in Hagerstown who think Mayor
Jackson will trail along until the
last minute and then announce
that he is not a candidate. If
memory serves me correctly,
Hizzoner pulled up with a Char
ley Horse some years ago when
he elected to challenge the great
Governor Albert c. Ritchie. His
tory may repeat itself, especially
if, as the time draws near, Mr..
jackson finds lot of his former
buddies slumbering in the enemy

A lot of things can, and prob
