and Mr. G. Rex Bromley.
Registrar at Large, in chief: Mes
SIS Paul NJ Rhodes and c. Herbert

For the benefit of its readers, this
paper publishes the following infor-
nation with reference to this regis
tration:
Who must register: Every male
person who has attained their forty
fifth birthday on or before Feb. IS,
1912, and has not attained their six
ty-fifth birthday on April 81, 1912.
Where to register: In Worcester
County at the brick public schools
in the following towns, namely, Bish-
opviIle, Ocean City, Berlin, Newark,
Snow Hill, Stockton and Pocomoke
City.
Hours of registration: Sunday,
April Goth from 900 A. NJ. to 500
P. M; on Monday, April 9th, from
700 A. M. to 900 P M. The Local
Board urges all who can do so to reg
lister on Sunday, April Goth, thus re-
lieving the school authorities as much
as possible on Monday, April 9th.
Only nine simple questions will be
asked those men beyond the military
ages who register on April 25, 26
and 27, for classification as to their
skiIIs and aptitudes for war produc
ton activities, Colonel Henry c. Stan
wood, State Director of Selective Ser
vice for Maryland has announced.
Registration of the individual
should require a comparatively short
time, the Director said, pointing out
that the registrant will not be asked
to fill out a QUESTIONABLE but must
only answer interrogations about his
identity, his place of residence, and
his mailing address. Also he will be
required to list his telephone, if any;
his age in years and date of birth,
place of birth, the name and address
of the person who will always know
his address, his employers name and
address, and his place of employment
or business.
Colonel Stanwood pointed out that
those who register on April 25, &c
and 27 are not liable for military
service under the Selective Training
and Service Act of 1910, as amended.
They will be required later to fill
out an occupational QUESTIONABLE con-
corning their civilian qualifications
and skills, but that is for the pur-
pose Of obtaining information only.
After a registrant has answered
all questions and signed his name to
the registration card, he will be given
registration certificate signed by
the registrar. This certificate must

Clinton McSherry. The Man

(Reprined from The Frederick Neu0 Citzen)
We write this editorial with the feeling that the
people of Frederick and Montgomery Counties will be
interested in the human side of the man who will
certainly be elected to the high office of Chief Justice
of this judicial circuit.
For, after all the tells us what the judge
will be.
He was born and reared in the atmosphere of the
law. His father, the late Chief Justice James
McSherry, recognized of the leading jurors,
moi only in Maryland but in the United States
His opinions and still are quoted throughout
great deal of the improved legislation from which we
now benefit
Clinton the youngest of large family. He
was thrown on his resources at early age. He
worked for his education in the offices of the B. O.
Railroad at Baltimore between classes He burned the
midnight oil.
His record shows he was a conscientious brilliant
student. He passed his bar examinations with high
Then followed four-year period the manager
of large surety company for two states with head
quarters at Tulsa Oklahoma. The experience acquired
in handling all phases of legal work there has been
invaluable to him and will be invaluable to us when
he becomes Chief Justice.
1t has been wisely said that only a man who has
reared family and who knows intimately the every day
problems that confront the most of u.s. is really quail
fed to sit on the bench.
Clinton is good family man, good churchman,
and good citizen. He has taken an active, construc-
tive part in our community life.
He is outstanding member of his profession,
with an ability that is recognized throughout the state
He is friendly and sympathetic by nature Ever
ready to give and assistance to the unfortunate
he knows how to make decision and stick to it.
He has all the qualifications to his people
faithfully and well.
He will be good Judge.

He is Richard Riedel, who lacks
one year of being in the government
service a quarter of century. He
started as a page boy in the senate
at the age of nine. He has literally
grown with the work and the work
has grown with him. When he first
came to the senate he was too small
to reach up to the counter to sign his
name for his pay, he had to go in
behind to get it. Today, he stands
6 feet inches. And the work he
does has expanded. too. i'm n easur-
ably since the time he Jrst ran err

Riedel remembers when the LOB.

off the chamber through which the
senators pass when they leave the
floor. was a teening alleyway from
which nobody was excluded. Any
visitor, any lobbyist, had a right to
come in there and buttonhole solon
as he emerged from the chamber.
But in 1919, Sen. Philander c. Knox,
earlier secretary of state, changed
all that.
Now this sacred precinct is tread

of the press and radio. And, demo-

A President uses this ornate salon
about once in his term of office, and
then when he announces to a com.
mittee from the senate that he is
through just before his successor
takes the oath. ,
At the doorway of the lobby Riedel
stands with some of his colleagues.
The newsmen come to him. demand
the presence of a senator and are
usually accorded an interview unless
the gentleman in question is about
to speak on the floor, or dares not
miss some procedure vital to him
or his constituents.

Mrs. Byron's Withdrawal

Retirement Of Mrs. Kathryn Byron from the
test for the Democratic nomination for Congress from
the Sixth Congressional District leaves the field open to
Lieutenant-Co E. Brooke Lee Colonel Lee will
therefore face only the general election contest His
election is generally conceded but the majority he
receives will depend largely the enthusiasm of his
supporters. That majority should reach figure
before achieved in the Sixth District and will to
given Colonel Lee running start in his committee
assignments in the Congress.
With the United Democratic Organizations of
Montgomery County functioning with smoothness
which gives credit to the leadership and with ire
mendous registered Democratic majority in the county,
there is every indication that Montgomery County alone
will give her favorite son majority of many thou
sands of votes.
With man well qualified for legislative
position Colonel Lee seeking election to Congress

County in particular fortunate in having him aspire
to this office.
