Many hunters were all set to take
their trusty smooth-bores and head
for the hills in quest of the willy buck
when Governor Olson signed an
order forbidding deer hunting in
about half the state. The other
part of California is expected to be
closed within the near future.
Olsons order closed Monterey and
San Benito counties and parts of
Merced, Fresno and Kings counties
In addition, all of districts three
and a half, four, four and one
eighth and four and three fourths,
which takes in practically all of
southern California from Los An

jobs to put out the blazes so the
action came in an effort to avoid
all fires possible.
No matter how many are the
warnings handed out by forestry
officials there are still a number
of fires started by careless hunters
every year.
So it's farewell, deer, for the dura-

JUDGE MISH TO POLL HEAVY VOTE IN THIS COUNTY

Judge Joseph Mish, Democratic
candidate, will, in the opinion of
many interested in his candidacy,
poll record vote in Washington
County on November 3rd. Many
"one-man surveys conducted by
bcih Democrats and Republicans,
reveal that never before in the his
tory of the county has a candidate
faced an election with such excel
lent prospects.
From every section of the county
reports indicate that the voters,

choice for the people. His endea-
vors ca reach decisions fairly, cou-
pied with his reputation as an out

regardless of party affiliation, will

from the two Western Maryland
counties, Allegany and Garrett,

Many believe that he will get the
largest majority of any candidate
ever to run for the judgship in this
circuit.

in the position he now occupies,

tation as an able and well-read at

but puts to rest the gossip initiated
by the Republicans that Brooke
would not have the open support
of the bigwigs when the crucial
test came.
In critical Frederick County
which either Beall Or Lee must
carry in order to win the election,
the Republican effort seems to have
evapOrated. There was loud talk
for awhile what Beall and Nickel
din would do to Lee and O'ConOr
in this area. But recently adver-
tised "whirl-wind tour" of county
towns brought out such small
C,Uwds that some meetings had to
be cancelled. 1t finally got so
laughable and embarrassing that a
reporter who accompanied Beall
and McKeldin said that the two
candidates finally had no one to
talk to except themselves.

O'CONOR MAKES UP

An interesting sidelight on the
recent, huge Democratic rally at
Hotel Emerson in Baltimore was
the rapprochement between Gov
ernor Herbert r. O'ConOr and Po-
litical Boss Jack Pollack of the
city's fourth legislative district.
The Governor and Jack have
been at odds, almost since the
campaign of 1888 when Pollack
was given credit for carrying his
district for O'COnor against Mayor
Howard Jackson. Since then they
have grown far apart. Some of
their grievances are more or less
fancied, some are based on OCon-
or's call for a higher-type legisla-
ture. In this connection, Jack
succeeded in winning the nomina-
ton for his man, Nanny Altfeld,
over Emmanuel Gorfne. This was
a major upset, actually the only
one, in the Jackson O'COnor per-

PREJUDICED VOTES
is TREASON, HE SAYS
Urges All to Check VOt-
ing Records and Cam
paign Promises

In this perilOus year casual or
prejudiced votes will be a kind of
treason" warns Marquis W.Childs,
noted author and Washington cor
respondent of the st. Louis Post
Dispatch, in the November issue
of the American Magazine. Don't
let anyone kid you" he writes.
There is only one issue: Will the
man who gets your vote do every
thing in his power to win the
war;"
When you drop your vote in the
ballot box in the congressional
elections this November, continued
Mr.. Childs, it will count for more
than in any election in recent years
'"The issue is bigger than party,
bigger than any individual" he
said. ''It is whether we shall win
this war and win the peace that
follows. Your congressman may
go to Washington and faithfully
vote his yea on each war measure.
That does not necessarily mean,
however, that he is equipped with
the intelligence, the freedom from
narrowing prejudices, to cope with
the far-reaching changes which
must come with peace"
That is why it is so vital to
vote wisely and thoughtfully, eau
toned Mr.. Childs, not on the basis
of prejudice or partisaRship, or of
casual indifference. In this perilOuS
year casual or prejudiced votes
will be a kind of treason.
While the war is the issue, he
continued, isolatiOnism in the pre-
Pearl Harbor meaning of that word
in not of great concern to the pub
lie. Apparently, most Americans
recall their own confused emotions
as the war clouds grew black. They
are not inclined to blame their
representative in Washington. On
the other hand, there were members
of Congress who, out of hatred of
the administration or abscure
prejudice, went so far as to give
aid and comfort to the Axis. Many
of these representative may be
voted out of office this fall.
"Will Americans vote their griey-
ances this fall?" asked Mr.. Childs.
"Will they vote the ins out and
the outs in?"
"Once before in the midst of a
war the voters expressed their dis
| satisfaction with the party in
power" he said. THAT was in
1918, when, during the administra-
ton of WoodrewssHVilSan, the Demo
Gratis lost control of both House
and Senate. The voters of the ma
ton were expressing their discon-
tent with the vast upheayal OF

that McKeldin's campaign hasn't

therefore, it was interesting to
note that O'ConOr buttOn-holed the
winner, Altfeld, and asked him to
walk over with him to greet Jack.
Herby and Jack exchanged hand
shakes and something of a rap
prochement was effected.

ELECTION DOLDRUMS
AS the November elections start
into the home stretch, the cam
paign instead of getting hot and
noisey has simmered down on all
fronts. This is particularly true
in the Sixth Congressional District
where Democratic Candidate E.
Brooke Lee and the COPS Glenn
Beall started out rough and tum-
BILE.
Public reaction to smear-digging
into business troubles of both can
didates' seems to be that Brooke
has nothing to apologize for. Coun-
ty editorial comment is to the ef-
feet that Brooke has carried his
white mans burden like a soldier
and that Beall made a terrific mis-
take if he and his advisers hoped
the smear campaign would be eff
fective.
Gubernatorial Candidate Teddy
Roosevelt McKeldin, who started
out lambasting Governor O'Conor
for endorsing Lee, has dropped the
issue like a hot potato now that
the business past of his own run
ming horse has been publicized.
Wishful thinkers who were whis-
pering that a large slice of Demo
cratic votes would be deflected
from Brooke, appear to have been
over wishful. For now the true
test of the party machine is about
to make itself felt. Senators Tyd.
ings and Radcliffe, Governor O..
Conor, Eugene Casey of the White
House, and Attorney General Bill
Walsh are going to take the stump
for Lee and make it plain in no
uncertain manner that every Demo
crat is expected to come to the
aid of his party.
They have also lined up every
influential Democrat in the dis
trict to get in and pitch. This can
not be interpreted as reflecting
any misgivings about the outcome
