DU RELY
4 Official
By BALLOT BOX

In political circles this week, there
is one of those typical 'lulls before
the storm" periods, with the only
activity being the constant jockey
ing for position by the hackers of the
various candidates (both Democrat
and Republican,.
Although the deadline for filing is
only nineteen days away, McKeldin
still continues his strange silence as
to his intentions, leaving the rank
and file of the Republican Party in
the state completely in the dark as
to where the titular head of their
party stands.
Paul Robertson made an announce
ment that he would withdraw as the
Republican candidate for United
States Senator, providing Mr.. Nc
Keldin filed for that office-but that
piece of jockeying, as expected, drew
a blank.
On the Democratic side, the only
activity the past week has been
the feverish anxiety of Preston
Lanes hacker to get Endorsements
for his candidate, and John B. Funk's
letter to the Washington County
Republican members of the House
of Delegates, soliciting their support
in his candidacy for State Comp
troller on the Street Baldwin ticket
AS far as the gubernatorial candi-
dates, themselves, are concerned, H.
L. Mills (Republican) is steadily
gaining ground (although his own
county central committee has so far
failed to endorse him) and / hear
that he is particularly strong in
Baltimore City.
Willard Tawes (Democrat) is still
away out in front of his two OPP
ponents, Street Baldwin and Pres
ton Lane, and in Baltimore they are
offering odds that he will be the
Democratic candidate The real
opening gun in the Tawes campaign
will be fired on Saturday afternoon
in Montgomery County, when a big
Tawes rally will be held, with
Charlie Jones (who was first men
toned in this column as a possible
candidate for State Comptroller on
the Tawes ticket acting as chair
man An overflow crowd is expected
to hear Mr.. Tawess first public cam
paign address and they tell me that
the Lane hackers are quite upset that
the Tawes opening gun is to be fired
right in their own back yard.

nouncement made on Friday by the

rector of the Agriculture Depart

Calls For Publicity Campaign
On Condition Of Local And

An extensive newspaper campaign
to acquaint the general public with
conditions in the local schools was
recommended by members of the
Broadway Wayside Parent Teacher
Association in an open forum follow
ing talk by Philip Rauth, president
of the Washington County Board of
Education, at the regular meeting of

Mr.. Rauth, in the course of his
address, explained conditions of the
local and county schools are due to
inadequate appropriations. Some in
crease in appropriations has been
made in the past two or three years,
Mr.. Rauth stated, but never as much
as the Board of Education has rec
commended.
Broadway patrons agreed, during
the open forum, that the public must
be informed as to the low amount
of money spent on the schools in
this county and the State of Mary
land, as compared with states of the
same or lower per capita wealth,
and that citizens of the county and
members of the PIT A. must de-
mand that the County Commission
ers appropriate enough money to

ity and county,
