Expected To Go TO Polls

Next Tuesday, November 7th,
will be general election day, at
which time the main issue will
be the selection of President
and Vice-president of the United
States, and interest in Garrett
county is running high.
Republican standard bearers
are Governor Thomas E. Dewey,
of New York, for President, and
Governor John W. Bricker, of
Ohio, for Vice-Presidcnt, and they
will be opposed by Franklin d. Roose-
welt, who seeks a fourth term in the
White House, and his running mate,
Senator Harry w. Truman, of Mis-
souri,
Also on the ballot will be the names
of Blanchard Randall, Jr.. Republican
candidate for the u. S. Senate from
Maryland, and Willard f. Tydings,
Democratic candidate for rejection,
and two candidates for Representative
from the Sixth District of Maryland
in the seventy-ninth Congress of the
United States: J. Glenn Beall, Re-
publican and Daniel F. McMullen,
Democratic, both of Allegany county.
Six proposed amendments to the
Constitution of the State of Mary
land also appear on the ballot, Two Of
the amendments are purely Baltimore
| City affairs, one to authorize the ere
alton of a Baltimore Redevelopment
Commission and one to set the sala-
ries of the States Attorney, his dep
utcs and aides in Baltimore.
One amendment would permit the
Court of Appeals to assign judges Of
i the various circuits to other circuits
20 relieve accumulation of business,
and another would reorganize the
Court Of Appeals of Maryland, which
a majority of the judges and attorneys
throughout the State seem to APP
prove. Attorneys of Garrett county
call attention to the two proposed
court changes in an advertisement in

ed by former Chief Judge d. Lindley

War Fund Drive Will
Probably Reach Quota
All Are Urged BY Chairman To
DO Their Share in the Time Re-
naming Before Campaign Ends

Reports beginning to come in from
various communities indicate that the
National War Fund campaign in Gar
rctt County, to raise funds for the
work of the United Service Organi-
cations and other war relief agencies
for the coming year, will be success
full.
Since the campaign began, com
munity workers have been quietly
organizing their territories and re-
cciving contributions, and activity has
not ceased, but there has been little
to show in actual cash in the hands
of the treasurer.
Bernard L. Gondcr chairman of the
drive. said Cecil Smith, treasurer, had
received over $500 thus far, but that
promises from the workers made it
clear that the entire quota of $1,000
would probably be raised before the
campaign closes on November II.
Mt. Lake Park has already over
subscribed its quota and Mr.. Gender
said he was given assurance today
that Kcmpton would do its share.
Although the outlook is favorable,
Mr. Gender again urged every worker
do the job as thoroughly as it was
done last year, and for individuals
to offer their contributions freely
whether or not they arc solicited
personally.
More than half of the money col
lcctcd will be used to aid our men
and women in uniform by continuing
and expanding the USO and War
Prisoners Aid.
