Gardner's S Withdrawal
From Charter Board
Nomination AssaiIed
Action Further Proof of
His Distrust Of Voters,
S. N. Hamilton Declares

The refusal by Allen H. Gardner,
president of the MONTGOMERY
County Md Charter Committee. to
be a candidate for nomination on a
charter board sis further evidence
of his distrust of the voters" S. M.
Hamilton, secretary of the United
Democratic Organization of the
county declared last night.
Mr.. Gardner was one of five men
nominated by the county commits
sioners on Thursday for membership
on proposed charter board.
In withdrawing his name the fol-
lowing day, Mr.. Gardner declared
that three of the five nominees
have attempted to destroy the
charter movement by issuing mis-
leading statements" The three in
question, he said, were Joseph A.
Cantrel, j. Bond Smith and Roger
J. Whiteford.
Trickery Charge Denied.
Denying that there was any
trick connected with the commits
sioners' nomination of Mr.. Gardner
for service on the charter board, Mr..
Hamilton said the nomination was
"a recognition of the contention for
minority representation made so
persistently by the Republican party,
the Brookings report and the sup
porterS of charter in Montgomery
County"
Since Mr.. Gardner's arrival in
Montgomery County eight years ago,
Mr.. Hamilton's statement asserted,
he has stated to dozens of county
residents that his political purpose
in the county lis to defeat the
Democratic party in the county
through the elimination of majority
rule and the barring of the two
party system"
Balks at Own Candidacy.
Mr.. Gardner, however, the state
ment continued, lis unwilling to sub
NIT his own personal candidacy to
the franchise of the county voters"
The naming of Messrs. Cantrel,
Smith and Whiteford, all of whom
are Democrats, apparently is too
much for Mr.. Gardner and his
charter associates, practically all of
whom are opposed to the Demo-
Gratis. both in the Nation and in
Montgomery County," Mr.. Hamil-
ton declared.
Mr.. Gardner and his group call
charter a great cause" the state
ment concluded, land leaders of all
great American causes have been
candidates and have led their cause
in the voting before the people OF
the Nation"
