A Democrat should be elected to
Congress in November. The Demo-
cratic Candidate best able to beat
Senator Davis should be nominated.
If Senator Davis is elected it will be
the Independent Democratic voter
that will do it. Senator Davis knows
that. He knows that he must get the
Independent Democratic voter in or
der TO win; so witness his numerous
speeches in Churches from Pocomoke
City to Elkton. You add that up for
yourself On May 1st the Democratic
voters will decide who is their Can
didate best able to defeat Senator
Davis. Here follows some of Merri-
ken's qualifications and factors of
strength, viz
l. Twenty-eight years praeticing
Lawyer of Maryland. Best known
through the Second Judicial Circuit.
2. An ex-farmer, member of the
residents and extensive landowners
of Caroline County for more than
one hundred years.
3. A University Graduate.
4. Taught school for eight years in
the Public Schools of Maryland.
5. A veteran of World War 1. First
Commander of Caroline Post. Past
Vice-Commander of the North East
ern District Knows the needs of the
War Veteran and expects to continue
to give greatly of his time to minis
ter to the Veteran, colored and white,
and his dependent. All veterans, both
colored and white, and their friends
know that.
6. Twenty consecutive years Presi-
dent of the Denton Chamber of Com
MERGE. A self-made man, identified
with the growth of sveral prosperous
corporations and Denton.
Z. A member of the House of Dele
gates from Caroline County. Is ex-
perienced ais lawmaker Not stran
ger at Washington. Ask your own
Annapolis.
8. Younger than either Mr.. Ward
or Mr.. Roe. This is a young man s
fight. The man that beats Senator
Davis must have the personal physi-
cal edurance to make thorough and
individual canvass of the voters of
the nine Counties before the Novem-
Der election. 1t is personal appeal by
the Candidate himself added to what
the party workers do that will save
this election to the Democratic par
ty. l respectfully suggest that METER
Mr.. Roe nor Mr.. Ward is physically
able to do that job. Merriken has
got the time, the physical endurance,
the know how of approach and the
courage to get that job done.
8. Unless Caroline, Dorchester, and
Talbot Counies are taken from SEN
ator Davis, it is extremely unlikely
that he can be beaten. With the COM
bined and about aid of all factions
Merriken can take those counties.
Merriken is the only candidate with
no past factional alignment to pre-
vent the party from going all-out to
the support of the candidate in No
vember Between May and November
it is Merriken who can and will meet
and or match Senat or Davi s
with anything and everything he can
produce, all the while following the
guidance of party steering commit
tee; such assistance by the candidate
to the all-out party effort should pro-
duce Democratic victory. All voters
are urged to go to the polls and vote,
all excuses aside. Merriken is the
man who can make the best run
against Senator Davis. Vote for Mer-
riken ADV.
