O'ConOr Faced Certain
Defeat AS First Returns
Were Reported
COUNTIES CREDITED
WITH HIS VICTORY
l. e a n Patronage Years
May Face Baltimore
Leaders

Governor Herbert r. O'Conor
will serve four more years as Chief
Executive of Maryland and, when
he starts his second term, he can
thank the counties for his success
full electiOn-not Baltimore City.
For decades, Marylanders have
figured candidate must carry the
Monumental City by huge major
ity if he hopes to win a State Of
flee. That theory has been ex-
ploded. If the counties are with
the candidate, the city doesn't
nave much to do with it. In Tues
days election, Baltimore knitted
O'ConOr numerically and he bare
ly succeeded in carrying the city.
His Republican opponent, McKei-
din, held him to less than 1000
and immediate prospects for his
reelection could have been bought
for ten cents on the dollar. How
ever, the counties that four years
ago, went against him, came thru
and turned back the Republican
hopeful, thus making it possible
for O'ConOr to serve again as
Maryland's Governor
Baltimore City's refusal to en-
dorse Governor OConor for sec
ond term will, in all probability,
have its repercussions. Hereto
fore, patronage has been lavishly
distributed among the Baltimore
organizations as a reward for the
big vote given O'Conor there four
years ago. These BaltimOreans
were handsomely rewarded for
their support, but as the Governor
goes into his second term he will
owe Baltimore nothing and the
counties everything.
According to- reports. Baltimore's
refusal to give the governor the
usual Democratic majority is caus-
ing some leaders there much con-
Germ. Many appointments now
held by Baltimoreans will be due
for a review" and it is altogether
likely that there will \be some
changes made"
Political dopesters point out
that county leaders have proven be-
yond doubt that a Democratic Gu
bernatorial candidate can come ont
of the largest city in the State,
"even up with his opponent, and
still win with county support, and,
this being true, greater recogni-
tion should be given to these coun-
ties that contributed to his success.
In otherwords, the governors bat
tleground in 1912 was not in Balti-
more City but in the counties.
According to reports the COVER
nor is giving much study to the
final election results, particularly
those in Baltimore City where he
was let down. His findings should
be enlightening, especially in view
of the Republican sweep through

you differently.

That name Pollack must have
some magic in it, according to
Baltimore politicos who cite the
fact that it took a Pollack to beat
Boss William Curran's machine in
the State Legislative contest and
it took another Pollack to give
Curran his only legislative victory.
The two Pollacks - Jack, the po-
litical boss and Pete, the Curran
field lieutenant are not even
distant cousins, and because Of
their political affiliations are very
distant indeed
Jack Pollack, as all the world
knows, caused the only major up
set in the Curran-O'Conor plans
for seating their own hand-picked
legislature ia Annapolis by putting
over Mamie" Altfield against
Curran's choice of Mamie" Cor
fine
simultaneously, Curran was Civ
ing the whip to his dark horse
candidate Pete Pollack and this
Pollack came through winner
without uttering campaign syl-
liable. The other Pollack mean-
while was uttering some extremely
warm syllables against Curran and
the Governor. 1t is related that
Pete has yet to get up his courage
to make maiden speech, whereas
Jacks oratory is far from maiden
ly.
Anyway, in Baltimore, it is now
legend that you pays your money
and ycL takes your Pollack.

CASEY RINGS THE BELL

Speaking before a labor group
in Moline, Illinois, Eugene Casey,
of Gaithersburg, who does political
trouble shooting for the President,
really rang the oratorical bell to
the echo. Fact is, not since Edgar
Allen Poe wrote his epic "The
Bells" has anyone in Maryland
dealt with the subject with more
oratorical reverberations.
Casey described the hum of the
foundry, the thump of the body

is now the undisputed property of the
Ely corps. President Smrekar well
coined the ladies in short address
to which Mrs. Edwin Toms responded
on behalf of the guests. She express
sed the pleasure of the ladies on being
honor guests of their husbands Her
remarks were received with unstinted
applause.
Following the warm welcome of
President Smrekar and the equal
hearty response of Mrs. Toms, Harold
Dillon was introduced as the toast
master.
Mr. Dillon, in his usual accomplished
manner, presented those on the pro-
gram and with a few apt humorous
illusions to past events and anecdotes
lived on the various trips of the corps,
he presented the new members of the
unit and their ladies. The POSTMASTER
introduced invited guests who had
been highly honored with an invita-
ton.
Bill Richards, the youngest member
came in for fair share of ribbing dur
ing the evening. He could take" the
good natured banter and returned the
sallies very expertly. At the close of
his short talk, he was presented with
a plaque as momento of the occa-
sion and his appearance at the Duluth
convention where he played a bugle
solo.
The Tankovich trio, accompanied by
Miss Rose Mayerle at the piano, sang

plishments of the corps and of the eff
ficient leadership of Mr.. Dillon. He
did not fail to give due praise to the
ladies and their help in sustaining the
morale of their male members. AS a
climax to Mr.. Hanson's talk he stated
he had prevailed upon August Olson
to attend the meeting and make few
remarks.
"Mr. Olson" mysteriously appeared
from the lobby of the hotel and in his
Scandinavian dialect told of his color
full experiences in passing Thorough the
induction center and becoming a mem
Der of Uncle Sans forces. His story
created unbridled hilarity among the
guests.
The singing of the "Star Spangled
Banner" closed the program. The room
was cleared and few hours of dane
ing followed to the music of the hotel
orchestra. The evening was a very
pleasant one and many were heard to
remark that similar get-togethers OF
the corps should and would follow.
