pay.
Recommendations made by the

Maryland Candidates
Agree Campaigning
Is GrueIine but Fun
BY the Assoeioted Press

BALTIMORE, Nov. 4.-The life
of a candidate for major Office dur
ing political campaign is as Cruel
ing as a coal miner's-but 1t is a
lot of fun and valuable experience.
That was the consensus Of the
Democratic and Republican candi-
dates for Governor of Maryland and
United States Senator today as they
reviewed the two months leading up
to tomorrow's election.
Governor O'Conor, the Democratic
nominee for the Senate and an old
hand at campaigning, said he went
into training for the race to insure
his physical fitness.
D. John Markey, Republican can
didate for the Senate, has averaged
only about six hours sleep night
and has driven between 10000 and
As 600 miles for appearances in all
sections of the State,
Averaged 10 Speeches Day.
Mayor Theodore R. McKeldin OF
Baltimore, the Republican aspirant
for Governor, estimates he has av-
eraged 10 speeches a day for two
months.
William Preston Lane, jr, Demo-
cratic gubernatorial candidate, won't
even try to approximate the number
Of hands he has shaken.
Gov. O'Conor estimated he has
spoken to 100000 Marylanders-ex-
elusive of radio audiences.
II travelled by car, plane, train,
boat and even by horse and buggy
on one occasion-that was down in
Southern Maryland" he said.
The Democratic candidate for Sem
ator said about his only chance to
relax from the political rounds has
been during a daily rundown in the
late afternoon, followed by about
40 Withstand I mean just 40 winks

Completing First Race.
Mr.. Markey is completing his first
race for political Office The Repub-
lican senatorial candidate said that
what struck me most was the num-
ber of persons I contacted who are
against things rather than for
things"
He said he found that veterans of
World War II are more Govern
ment and vote conscious" than their
fathers were when they came home
from World War I.
There was one thing in which all
four were in full agreement-no
matter what the outcome of tomor-
rows balloting is, all will take it easy

Statement by Alfred D. Noyes
chairman of the Montgomery Coun-
ty Democratic Congress:
1--WE have confined ourselves to
questions of fact and temperate ex-
pressions of opinion. Under the
present system Of county govern
ment voters can elect or reject every
policy determining county official
every fourth year through the op-
Grafton Of the two-party system and
the direct primary system. We be-
lieve the present plan to be the
wisest that the American people
have been able to evolve in their
two centuries of experience with
the problems included in local self
government.
I'VE are further convinced that
Montgomery County has become
one of the best places in the coun-
try to live, in large part through
the co-ordinated and continued
efforts of Democratic State and
county administrations. We know
that our tax rate, our rate of assess
ment and the county's bonded in
debtedness are all comparatively
low, while at the same time we know
that the Democratic county ad-
ministration has kept commercial
lied gambling. the saloon system and
other Objectionable activities out OF
the county.
I'VE have constantly improved
and modernized all the services Of
local government SO that today we
believe the people of Montgomery
County have every useful local pub
lie service that is to be found In
comparable American communities.
I'VE are convinced that the type
of new charter-constitution sup
ported by the Charter Committee is
actually an effort either to dilute or
destroy the rights and Importance
Of the county voter. The charter
would take from future generations
Of county voters any right to vote
for any salaried, policy-determinine
county official. These are the people
who would spend the tax money
and who administer the govern
ment."

Fireman Uses Rope
lin Hotel Fire 10 Save
Woman on 10Th Floor

Quick thinking firemen were cred
tied today with the daring rescue OF
a woman trapped on the top floor OF
the Roger Smith Hotel in fire that
routed more than 100 guests early
yesterday morning.
Aroused about 5 am, most Of the
guests on the top three floors fled
to the streets in night clothing. But
in Room 1923, next to that where
the blaze broke out, Miss Lucy
Brown, %, of Richmond, Va, found
her escape blocked by smoke.
While spectators gasped, firemen
of Engine Company No. raised a
100-foot ladder toward her window
The ladder was short OF its mark by
two stories.
Fireman Lowered by Rope.
Then on the roof, f1remen put an
other plan into operation. Fashion
ing a bowline on a blight, they fast
|ened a rope to Pvt. w. D. Barnett
of Engine Company 2.
Three men lowered Pvt. Barnett
to Miss Browns window He grasped
the woman and was lowered with
her two and one-half stories to the
roof of an adjoining building.
The firemen who lowered the rope
were Sergt. M. E. Wallace and Pvt
A. r. .ManIey of Engine Company 2
and Pvt. G. r. Plummer of Fire
Truck Company 2.
One other incident marred an
otherwise orderly exodus. Colliding
with a fireman in the smoke, Miss
June Ogden, 28, of Richmond was
knocked to the floor and suffered
face cuts. She was released after
treatment at Emergency Hospital.
Damage Put at $4,000.
OF unknown origin, the fire ap-
parently started in Room 1926, oc-
cupied by Ensign George G. Kirk
of New York City, who escaped
without difficulty.
The flames damaged several ad-
joining rooms to an extent estimat.
ed at about $4,000. The 10th fool
was closed today for redecoratine
but A. B. Merrick, manager, said the
rest of the hotel was operating
normally. I,
The first alarm was sounded al
5M am. by Night Auditor William
B. Morcom, 1920 North Lancaster
street, Arlington. A second alarm
was turned in seven minutes later.
Aroused by Mr.. MOrcom in his
ninth floor room, Mr.. Merrick ran
up to the 10th floor and through the
smoke to open skylight windows.
Resuming normal operations only
last Thursday after the 20-day hotel
strike, the Roger Smith was almost
totally occupied when the fire
broke out.

Statement of the Montgomery
County Charter Committee.
Tomorrow Montgomery citizens
vote on the creation Of five.
member Charter Board.
If the vote is EYES," the Charter
Board will hold public hearings te
learn what the citizens wish to have
in the charter. and will then SUBJ
NIT charter for the peoples vote
in November, 1s48.
A "No' vote is a vote to prevent
such public hearings, and to keep
the people from voting on the adop-
ton Of a charter in 1948.
The charter would provide foI
home rule through an elected
county council to sit in Rockville
The council would work throughout
the entire year but would have
special, ne-month, legislative ses-
sion each year so that county voters
could study and express their views
on the measures under consideration
A charter would transfer local
government to the county out OF
the hands Of the State legislature
at Annapolis where county citizens
are unable to make their desires
effective.
A charter would write down the
rules under which the county Is
to be governed and would protect
the citizens from the unannomced
whims Of politicians who are re-
sponsible for the waste, mismanage-
ment and low political morality
SO rampant today.
The charter method has been
successfully tried in hundreds OF
places in the United States. There
is no reason why it should not be
equally successful in Montgomery
