mittee, presided.

5a1npaign Gets Off To Flying Start Here
d. John Marley, Candidate For u. S. Senate Addresses
Overflow Gathering In Hotel Alexander Baroon-AH Coun
ty Candidates Observation-Disclosures Runs High

Shortly before the harassed Presi-
dent of the United States took to
the air waves to inform an equally
harassed nation that the controls
were off meat, crowd of over 400
city and county Republicans jam
packed the grand ballroom of the
Hotel Alexander to hear D. John
Marley, COP candidate for the U.
S. Senate, fire the opening gun of
the Republican campaign in Wash
ington County.
If" declared hard hitting Candi-
date Markey, "the President removes
the controls from meat at this time,
it will be a sorry example of what
a party leader will do for the cause
of politics"
An hour later bewildered Harry
Truman sadly pulled the lid off
meat.
With every candidate on the coun-
ty ticket present to be presented to
the throng, the meeting, which was
a Joint project of the Mems and
Women's Republican Clubs, reached
an enthusiastic climax with Mar
keys address, which was devoted
to an analysis of the controls. con-
fusion and chaos of the administra-
ton.
D. Eldred Rinehart, chairman of
the Republican Central Committee,
spoke briefly and turned the meet
ing over to General Joseph Byron,
Western Maryland campaign mana
ger for the senatorial candidate.
Making what he termed his first
political speech, General Byron ex-
planned that following his service
in World War l he came home to
an administration that in no wav
pleased him.

General said. "And serving in Wash

Montgomery Ward
Has New Manager

W. G. "BilI' Young, has been
named manager of the MONTGOMERY
Ward Hagerstown store, replacing
Max Shoff, who has been appointed
district manager. Mr.. Young took
over on Monday.
Mr.. Young, native of Roanoke,
Va, is married and has two children.
a boy and girl, and the family will
make their home on Dewey Avenue.
Joining the Montgomery Ward or
ganization in 1886, Mr.. Young was
made manager of the Rocky Mount,
N. c. store in 1910. He subsequently,
managed stores in Hickory and
New Bern, N. c., coming to Hagers-
town from the latter.
Mr.. Young, whose religious afilia
ton, is Baptist, was member of the
New Bern Rotary Club, director of
the New Bern Chamber of Com
merce and vice-president of the
Junior Chamber of Commerce. His
hobbies are tennis and golf.
Mrs. Young and the children win

ton to duty"
Attacking "a lien leadership" in
government and labor, Marley cited
j. Edgar Hoover's speech on the
dangers of Communism within the
structure of government as enorm-
ously significant.
There is no scarcity of meat" the
candidate pointed out "The scarcity
is the result of an alien bureaucracy
bent on telling the people of the
United States how and what to do"
Present scarcities in every line
Marley characterized as rejecting
discredit on the nation and being
without precedent in the country's
history.
Our veterans come home from
far flung battle fronts to a situation
that they weren't fighting for. They
fought for free America - not an
America of scarcities. They fought
for an all-American government
without pinks or reds"
Interrupted by enthusiastic an
plause throughout, the candidate
wound up his indictment of the
present administration with a clear
cut analysis of what needs to be
done to balance the national bud
get, break down the present bureau
cratic set-up, and bring to an end
unnecessary controls and resultant
confusion.
Pledging himself to bend every
effort in this direction, General Mar
key challenged his opponent, Gov
ernor Herbert O'Conor, to open de-
bate by radio on such topics as
soclalized medicine, socialized hous-
ing and socialized farming. Stating
that he is opposed to all of these
things, the COP candidate demand
ed to know where the Governor
stands and openly Knocked at the
well-known O'Conor talent for max
ing charming speeches about moth

ident of the Mems Republican Club.

AS far as the November elections
are concerned, l don't believe that
the lifting of controls on meat is
going to change a single vote.
Those who have had enough" are
going to vote Republican those, who
are in accord with the present Ad-
ministration are going to vote Dem
ocratic. The only question is-how
many have had enough?
Despite the efforts of both parties
to stir up lot of enthusiasm over
the Maryland elections, and despite
the publicity released by the Demo-
cratic campaign strategists, in which
they claim that it is all over, bar
the shouting, the campaign, so far
at least, has been strangely quiet.
Talking to the man on the street,
it is surprising to find that the voters
are not particularly anxious to talk
politics at all They'll spend all the
time you want talking baseball or
football, but when you swing the
conversation around to politics, all
you get is: ''Its a pretty tough cleo
ton to figure" "It's hard to tell what
Baltimore will do" 81 haven't given
it much thought as yet" and so it
goes.
In the past, it has been my ex-
perience that when you find the
average voter taking that attitude,
just three weeks before election, it
is sure sign that he has made his
mind up long ago, but just doesn't
care to disclose which way he's 60
ing to vote.
If that holds true in this election,
then look out for two things on No.
vember - a big vote and some
startling upsets.

Noted Portrait On
Display At Museum
One Of Gilbert Stuart's Fam
Gus Portraits Of George Wash
ington On Exhibition.

The painting most widely known
to Americans is the famous portrait
of George Washington by Gilbert
Stuart. The Washington County
Museum of Fine Arts is now exhibit
ing one of the most famous of the
series of Washington portraits by
this recognized "old master" of
American portraiture.
The portrait is one of the Athen-
aeum type depicting the left side of
the face of Washington. 1t is regis
tered as painted by Stuart on the
order of Washington, as a gift to
Cockey Dye, Speaker of the House
of Representatives at Annapolis
when Washington resigned his COM
mission as general of the army. The
painting is in superb condition of
preservation, brilliant in color and
sharply depicted. The jabot is an
item of clothing which is always a
point of attraction for students Of
Stuart's portraits of Washington. In
his portrait it is crisp and clear, in
dicative of the finest work of the
artist
Even as boy Stuart, son of a
Scottish immigrant, was well known
for his artistic ability. In London
he studied with Benjamin West and
adopted many of the conventions of
stylish English portraiture in the
18th century. Nevertheless, he con-
centrated on the character of the
sitter, with costume and background
subordinated Though Stuart is
most widely known for his portraits
of Washington, he rode the crest of
popularity throughout Colonial his
tory by his art accuracy and the
penetrating study of his subjects.
This outstanding portrait is on loan
to the Museums exhibit of paint
ings from the homes of Washington
County, from the collection of DR..
j. S. Johnson of Hagerstown.
