DEMOCRATS PLAN
FOR CLEAN SWEEP
ON NOVEMBER 3RD.
Organization to Consen-
trate on Getting
Out the Vote
PARTY UNITED
FOR VICTORY
Those Who Failed In the
Primaries Backing
Party Candidates

A clean sweep of Democratic
victories on November 3rd is
more than mere possibility, in
the opinion of party leaders and
voters, and in order to attain that
goal plans are now under way to
bring out a record number of
Democratic votes on election day.
For some weeks past, the lead
ers of the party in Washington
County have been quietly laying
plans for the general election and
reports from every section of the
county are extremely encouraging.
General William P. Lane, county
leader, stated today that in his
opinion, the ticket this year is one
Of the finest ever selected by the
Democratic voters. "The Demo-
cratic Party is presenting a strong
slate of candidates this year-can-
didates with a business background
and | am certain they will be
elected by the people," he said.
la these days of national peril,
the people desrve the best type
public servants possible, not only
for national officers, but local Of
fices as well. We have them. l
am particularly pleased with the
attitude of those splendid candi-
dates who failed to be nominated;
these men are behind the winners
100 per cent, and a united Demo
cratic party will go to the polls on
November 3rd.'
Organization of the various
wards and precincts is progressing
rapidly and the leaders are graft
fed by the response to the call
for more workers. A special eff
fort will be made to break all pre-
vious records in getting out the
vote, and with a book majority Of
more than 5000 the Democrats
will have a decided advantage over
their opponents.
The Hagerstown globe., 1942-10-16

AS election day draws near, Col.
E. Brooke Lees chances of becom-
ing the next Congressman from
the Sixth District, grows brighter.
From every section of the District,
reports indicate a decided swing
to the Democratic candidate from
Montgomery County, and frantic
appeals to the electorate by Candi-
date Beall and his workers appar-
emily are going UNDECIDED.
Contrary to general opinion, the
voters are giving serious consider
alton to the candidates offered by
the two major parties. The COP
has offered a candidate who they

promoted by his opponents has re-
Gounded and today the Republican
candidate is spending a majority of
b. time trying to explain away his
own personal obligations.
One thing is certain: Lee didn't
take a run-out powder, but, as is
to be expected of a man of charac-
ter, he decided to pay off his OBJ
legations the hard way.
We are at war.
We need fighting men in Con-
gress as we'll as at the front.
Colonel Lee is a fighter, all the
way.
He is made-to-order for the job.

MARyL AND MERRy-GO-ROUND-

Washington, D. c., Oct. 16.-
Some critics of Western Shipbuild-
er Henry J. Kaiser are asking:
Why all the publicity over West
ern production and none over
Eastern?"
Men in Baltimore shipping cir
cles who don't get their informa-
ton merely from headlines but
from work sheets, have facts
which would astound the lay read
er who has come to regard Kaiser
as likely to win the war single
handed. For instance, the Bethle-
hem Fairfield in Baltimore is
now turning out more ships
month than Kaiser's Oregon yards.
The score at present is 10 ships
month for Kaiser and II for
Baltimore. Also another shipyard,
McCOne Bechtel at Wilmington,
California, is running neck and
neck with Bethlehem Fairfield.
To be sure neither at Baltimore
nor at Wilmington has a ship
been launched in ten days. But
the secret is that no more will be
turned out at Oregon in that time.
That was a bit of good Snowman
ship designed to tie-in with the
Presidents tour, and required ex-
ira heavy concentration of men on
supplies toward a given goal.
Actually, all yards are now doing
bang-up jobs but none have been
as prominently publicized as Kai-
ser's. His organizati is built
around a colorful personality who
can walk the stage and stunt his
production until the whole becomes
something more than just ship
building. 1t becomes morale build
ing. SO the fuss over launching l.
900 ships is good tonic to a
country which has been receiving
a lot of bad news.
WESTERN MARYLAND MUD
The scream from Western Mary
land Republicans, when the Dem
Ocrats publicized Candidate Glenn
Bealps erstwhile business troubles
has been terrific. The publicity
was in retaliation for what Beall
and Gubernatoiral Candidate Ted
dy Roosevelt McKeldin have said
about Brooke Lees unhappy de-
preston days, but the Republicans
didn't like it.
In fighting smear with smear,
Lees hackers quietly dug up old
county records and took full-page

Congressman William C. Cole.
who many months ago was ap-
pointed an associate justice Of the
Customs Court of New York, did
not resign. And politicos are still
wondering when he will.
The answer is that he will quit
the end of October. And it is
safe bet that Governor Herbert
R. OConor will not ask the State
Central Committee of both parties
to name candidates for special
election even though the second
congressional district will remain
without representation in the
House from November l to Janu-
ary l.
Inside reason for Cole staying on
until November were varied. First,
Speaker Sam Rayburn, who got
Cole his judgship. wanted him to
sit tight. Had Cole quit before,
it would have precipitated a spec
ial election.
Also there was important ad-
ministrative legislation at stake
and the White House wanted all
of it's friends in harness. By the
time Cole resigns from Congress
all of the vital legislation will
have passed, and the so-called
holiday" season will be on until
January /.
In addition Cole was winding up
his job as chairman of the Com
mittee Investigating the Petroleum
Industry.
POLITICAL ADVISER LANE
Nothing much of a political ma
ture has been heard about Ma
tional Democratic Committeeman
Preston Lane of Hagerstown for
some time. But recently Governor
O'Conor formally named him as
one of the Democratic Party's
campaign advisers.
This means that O'Conor is
counting on a sweep of Washing
ton County both for himself and
for E. Brooke Lee. 1t might be
noted in passing that Lane is
probably stronger than ever as a
leader in this territory, and even
money is being wagered that
Mayor Dick Sweeney of Hagers-
town, sometimes at odds with
Lane, will finally go down the line
for both O'Conor and Lee.
From a personal prestige stand
point, Lane has considerable at

This and That: Something
that doesn't exist in this county
is lone bet that Mckeidin will
defeat O'conor; seems that the
GOPites hereabouts have Iona
since given up hope of even
making an impression with their
State hopeful. Democratic
Candidate McSherry of Freder-
ick Town is certain to win the
judgeship race, I'm told; his fol-
lowers say he will get big slice
of that $500 Democratic major
ity in Frederick county and will
then proceed to slay his oppon-
ent in Montgomery county.-Pop-
ular Judge Joe Mish of this
county is slated to get a record
vote in this neck of the woods,
and he is reported to be gaining
strength in the Republican coun-
ties of AIIegany and Garrett
County candidates are certainly
getting acquainted with the
farmers; it would be interesting
to know the number of miles
they will have travelled in their
quest for offices. Able Brooke
Lee impressed the Democratic
Organization Club last week by
his forcefuI, common-sense ad-
dress before that group; if you
think he hasn't given a lot of
study to world conditions
suggest you make it point to
hear him on his return visits to
Washington County. Another
headache for the Republicans in
this county is the collection of
campaign fund; fact of the
matter is that the Elephant Lads
have been on donation diet
since the days of Herbie Hoover
and the late Governor Harry
Nice, and as a result, the filthy
lucre is extremely scarce. A
significant fact is noted in this
campaign being waged by the
COP candidates, namely that ap-
parentIy it's every man for him.
self and no time is being wasted
with praise for their running
mates. My friend, Millard
Tawes, is now engaged in
"dream" campaign; he is so in
vincibIe that the Republicans
decided not to waste time and
money trying to knock him over;
you might remember this because
it's my sincere opinion that
this Eastern Shoreman will some
day be Governor of Maryland
Rumor has it that Senator Mil
lard Tydings may have tough
going on his next trip to the
plate; seems that Governor Her
bert is developing a yen for
berth in Washington; that bat
tie, should it materiaIize, would
be honey, politicians assert;

record as the States chief exc

They said the story was only part

but he has paid off SO per cent of

In the exchange Of blows it
