County Resident
Is Embarrassed

There is a story (true) about
a resident Of near by town who
fell asleep on a bus last Wednes-
day night and woke up in Fred
erick. Feeling that he should pay
for the extra twenty-miles or so
of travelling, he went to the ticket
window in the bus terminal. The
attendant called an elderly police
man, who Immediately accused
our friend of bein Earl McFar-
land. 1t was OILY after a lengthy
explanation, much showing of
credentials, and finally the word
of the police lieutenant, who said
"He's too TALL" that our resident
was permitted to call his wife to
come for him. Frankly, he should
feel fattered. We are sure it
has been at least fifteen years
since anyone took him for 25
years of age!

set County, as the contenders,
has been under
3.COrnered way for several
Fight For months. Before
Governor primary day,
June 24th., this
fight promises to be one of the
hardest fought in the Free State
for many years. Any one of the
three is in the lead according to
the person to whom one might be
talking.
Mr.. Baldwin, with some East
ern Shore backing, with a pre-
sumed block of convention votes
from his Congressional District,
with a good chance of securing
some convention strength from
Baltimore City and with claimed
support in Southern Maryland,
appears rather a formidable can
didate.
On the other hand Mr.. Tawes,
as an Eastern Shoreman, is
given the entire Shore by his
supporters and carries tremen-
dous strength in Baltimore City,
where he has the backing of the
powerful Curran machine. On
this reasoning his supporters
claim enough convention strength
to win.
Supporters of Mr.. Lane, how
ever, point out that the duplicate
vote blocks of the other two
candidates make it certain that
neither will secure the strength
clai m d and
O'COnOr, that the former
Radcliffe Attorney Cen
For Senate eral will come to
Baltimore City
with the solid Western Maryland
block of convention votes and
will carry enough Baltimore City
districts to put him over. In
addition to this the Lane people
are not writing off" the entire
Eastern Shore to Messrs. Bald
win and Tawes nor are they will
ing to concede all of Southern
Maryland. AS a final analysis,
Lane people state, their candi-
date will probably come out with
convention strength to spare.
Some bitterness has been injected
into the gubernatorial contest be-
tween Messrs. Baldwin and
Tawes. And this, it is claimed,
will add to Lane strength.
Every effort was made by State
Democratic leaders to avoid a
bitter factional fight with no
avail. Each candidate has devel-
oped great strength in different
parts of the State. This is the
first year when a nomination
might result from candidates
1 plurality. A new law makes this
possible and was enacted to avoid
the confusion which resulted
from the old "first" and Second"
choice votes. 1t had been pointed
out, however, that this new setup
makes a three-cornered fight
work definitely to the advantage
OF Baltimore City.
In the senatorial contest SEN
ator George w. Radcliffe's re-
nomination is challenged by Gov
ernor Herbert R. o'Conor. Here
again is a fight which promises
much activity and each candi-
