DURELY
/ Official
By BALLOT BOX

Ever since Governor O'Conor an
nounced that he would enter the
Democratic Primary race for the U.
S. Senate nomination against Sena-
tor Radcliffe, and Congressman Sacs-
Ger made his surprise statement that
he would not be a candidate for
Governor, there have been troubled
waters within the Democratic Party
in Maryland.
Now comes Congressman Bald
wins announcement that he has
filed for the Gubernatorial candi-
dacy, and, as a result, the already
troubled waters have been muddied
up so much, that no one - inside
the Party or out - can see the
bottom.
Don't think for moment that
when such Democratic leaders as
U. S. Senator Tydings and State At
torney General Curran stated that
Baldinw's announcement came as a
complete surprise to them that they
were just talking - they meant
every word they said. 1t has long
been known that the candidacy of
Hagerstown's publisher, William
Preston Lane, Jr., has not brought
about any landslide in his favor and
that the party was far from being
solidly behind him.
AS a matter of fact, just last week
quite a number of influential Demo
Gratis throughout the State received
a confidential QUESTIONABLE, sent
out by one of the leading Democrat
Office holders, asking for frank opin-
ions regarding possible Gubernatori-
al candidates (some announced and
some unannounced) and requesting
that the replies reach the sender by
January Fl the very day that Con-
gresham Baldwin announced his
candidacy
Could it be that the Congressman
heard about the QUESTIONABLE and
decided to Jump the gum"
AS I have said, Baldwin's entry
into the race has only further mud
died the already troubled waters
and the Democrats are still without
Gubernatorial candidate that the
Party leaders are ready to give their
unqualified support to.
But it is my belief that, before
midnight, April Is rolls around, such
a candidate will be found in the per-
son of J. Willard Tawes, the State
Comptroller.
Tawes' record in Maryland as a
vote getter is well known; his ability
in directing the finances of the State
has been amply proven; his affilia-
ton with the Maryland State Fire
mems Association has gained him
thousands of friends throughout the
State, and last, but not least, the
reception given him at the recent
Mueller dinner in Baltimore when
he arose to address the gathering,
was SO prolonged and so spontane-
Gus that one would have thought
that Mr.. Tawes was the guest of
honor, instead of just being one of
the speakers of the evening.
Make no mistake about it, the
Democratic Gubernatorial race is
very much an open affair at present,
but just as in any other race, there
is always a 'favorite" by post time
and in my opinion that favorite,
when the Democratic candidates for
Governor line up for the real start
of the race, will be the present
State Comptroller - J. Willard
Tawea
Next week / will give you the
low down on the Republican side

The chemicals have given best re-

growers in tho Piedmont area and
those having dark organic soils in

tons before attempting 10 use them
on large scale. Growers in these
areas must learn how To- apply the
materials and make them work on
their special soils before they can
expect maximum benefits from their
use" Bennett said.
He pointed out that chemical con-
troll of weeds in tobacco plant beds
is one of the best labor saving prac-
tices that any grower can follow on
his farm. because wedding of the
plant bed comes at Il time of the
year when the farmer is busily en-

u. S. Sees Meat Paradox:
Full Ranges, Bare Plates

Washington. Sept. 2I.-tP,-This
nIcat-hungry nation is witnessing
the paradox of near record NUM-
bers of cattle roaming the ranges
while dinner table platters are emp
ty Of beef.
Agriculture Department Officials
said today the MURDER Of cattle on
the nations farms is not far below
the 1914 peak, and that the number
on western ranges may be the larg-
est on record.
But. graSs-fed cattle are not nov
ing off ranges to slaughter pens in
numbers that the government had
expected. Department experts said
uncertainty over future price trends
are delaying markctings.
This picture of the beef situation
was depicted as Secretary of Agri-
culture Clinton p. Anderson pre-
pared to make nationwide radio
talk at 1918 p. m. EST on govern
ment price policies on farm prod
ucts. Aides said the secretary was
expected to discuss the livestock
situation.
This is the season when cattle
normally start moving off ranges
m large numbers. But the movement
has been slow since livestock price
controls were reestaolished Sept.
Therefore. beef supplies in butcher
shops are neagcr.
