Women Discuss
Campaign Issues;
Shun Party Lines

Both Democratic and Republican
women are putting in some hard
election work and much clever
"electioneering" is being done over
cup Of tea, at the lunch table and
even between rubbers at bridge
parties.
Party lines do not seem very
tightly drawn. This is especially so
on the Charter question. Queer
combinations are heard, sucn as:
For Dewey and against the Char
ter" or, "Tydings has done a good
job but | can not vote for Roose-
velt," Or Roosevelt and for Char
ter" or dewey and for Charter"
Certainly no prediction can be
made as TO the outcome judging
from the feminine angle. s

the annual convention of the Unit
ed Women's Democratic Clubs OF
Maryland, held in Baltimore yes

from this Co. includes Mrs. Roger

ton or rejection.
Montgomery County will vote
also on adoption or rejection Of q
proposed charter form Of governs
ment. So much has been said and
printed on this subject that mere
mention of the fact that it Is one
of the most important issues ever
to face the electorate suffices. Ar
ticles "pro" and econ" appear else
where in this issue.
In Montgomery there are more
than forty thousand registered vo-
tiers. With both Presidential cam
paign and the charter issue It IT,
anticipated that very heavy vote
will be cast.
This, OF course, does not apply
throughout Maryland the NUM-
Der of newly registered voters
ran close to expectations. The
State Is normally Democratic BY
y handsome registered majority
This registered majority, how
ever. always dwindles IN general
elections and the outcome
throughout the State is consid-
cred doubtful.
w. Preston Lane, head Of the
Democratic campaign in Mary
land, claims that Roosevelt win
carry the State by not less than
$4,000. Republican headquarters
claim the State by smaller ma
jority. Because Of the apparent
chance they have Of placing
Maryland in the Republican coll
umn again, COP. leaders have
been waging an active campaign,
climaxed this week by a flying
visit of the Presidential nominee,
Governor Thomas e. Dewey. to
Baltimore where he made
speech at the Lyric at noon on
Thursday.
The campaign has been lacking
in color and activity as compared
with former Presidential elections.
War developments have more or
less clouded political Developments
and charges and counter charges
have been relegated to place Of
secondary Importance by all news
papers. Public interest in the CAM
paign is evident but enthusiasm
has been noticeably lacking. Poll
tical experts have been unable 10
gauge whether this lack of enthu-
siasm means large silent vote or
light vote. They have pointed out
that the larger the vote cast the
better the prospects for President
Roosevelt.
1t is possible too that the absentee
vote will, for the first time, have
direct and deciding effect on the
outcome. Thousands, perhaps mil
lions, Of soldier votes will be cast
and officials point out that close
count at home can easily be swayed
one way or the other by the weight
Of soldier votes.

nevertheless, come out strong

Starting nationally, the elec-

which are hardly placed in the
doubtful column. The states
are Pennsylvania, New York,
Massachusetts, and California.
Roosevelt carried all Of them
in three elections. Dewey is
given chance in New York

California in the Republican
column means a great turnover
and the unexpected newly reg

source Of satisfaction to Demo

the increase means Roosevelt

Coming to Maryland It has

eide is whether a supreme Navy is really
our cheapest and best form Of nationwide
life and property insurance.
We nearly all agree that, whatever the cost,
if we are to play hand in the world here
after, we must'lead from strength and not
from weakness.
The problem is: how much strength?
Maybe it will be easier to decide on the
Navy's place in our budget if we first think
through the kind of Navy we need and how
we mean to use it.
, Do We need ''big battleship" Navy or Is
the carrier taking its place? Is the battle
ship really too expensive way to carry
gmpower?
, Is aipower developing so fast that the role
Of the Navy will become secondary?
Should the Navy continue to have its
separate air force?
, VIII there be revolutionary change In the
next few years In motive power or gum
power? What do rockets, Jet propulsion,
perhaps even atomic power, have In store
for future sea power?
, What territory are We trying to protect
with the Navy? Or are We undertaking to
help keep the peace the world around?
, What bases must We own or have access
to for these purposes? VIII We share them
with the British the Russians . IN
the United Nations?
