Maryland Campaign
Reaches Climax With
Both Sides Confident
By the Associoted Press

The political campaign leading up
to the Maryland general election
reached it's climax last night with
a final round of 3speechmaking and
rallies and found both parties ex-
pressing outward confidence their
top candidates would win.
Ali that remains are the final
radio appeals, last-minute checking
of voting lists and the oling up of
election day get out the vote" ma
chinery.
In major speeches last night:
/. William Preston Lane, jr., the
Democratic candidate for governor,
told a rally in Ellicott City that he
and his ticket awaited Tuesdays
returns with confidence because the
campaign had demonstrated to all
thoughtful persons why Maryland
should remain under Democratic
control" ..
McKeldin Sees Restlessness.
g. Mayor Theodore r. McKeldin
of Baltimore, the Republican NOM
inee for Governor. said his campaign
tours of Maryland had demonstrated
to him the States residents were
restless, disturbed and aroused
over conditions in this country" and
predicted this would result in a
victory for his party.
3. Gov. O'Conor and D. John
Markey, Democratic and Republi-
can candidates for the United States
Senate, respectively, appeared on a
radio forum. Each predicted the
veterans vote would prove impor-
tant-perhaps Z, decisive-and each
said the bulk of that vote would go
to his party.
4. Senator Radcliffe, Democrat, of
Maryland, defeated in the June
primary by Gov. O'Conor urged Mr..
O'Conor's election at major
Eastern Shore Democratic rally at
Cambridge.
Close Contests Expected.
The concensus was that the con-
tests for the Senate and governor
ship would be close.

James j. Lacy for State comptroller
and Hall Hammond for attorney
general. The Republican candidates
for those posts are, respectively,

 AS we come to realize the facts, find that one of the greatest privileges we have as Americans is "free' the right to vote.
 This privilege, the right to vote as, and for whom choose, is something fOrefatherS paid dearly in blood to attain. Today many things which are free do not seem have much value attached to them and many Americans do in fact, take lightly their privilege to vote Should they be compelled to fight for this privilege did foreatherS, they most certainly would attach the sound value that it deserves
 Issues at stake which good citizens must decide for the good of community and 1t IS most important to the future welfare of country and to ourselves that decide these issues by expressing ourselves with ous votes. Although it is ity duty vote, nevertheless should realize what great privilege enjoy to be able to vote.
 In particular case the community has both a duty to perform and privilege to realize in the City election tomorrow, in which Ordinance is to be up the citizens for ratification It is hoped that the will be voted upon by the largest majority of people of the community in order that true expres- sion of the community will be assured.
 Some of the citizens may think that the issue is too small matter to bother about. This is not the The issue itself may be insignificant, when viewed in certain lights, but the privilege have also carries with it the duty to vote the duty to assist in the operation of government assistance to the put in office through this privilege the right to vote.
 Whether or not we think the measure will be ratified rejected without single vote, there, er-theess is still that duty must continue to ercse, perhaps lose that right through neglect.

 For the preservation and perpetuation of peace, he told his Milkaukee audience there is only de- pendable instrumena national state of readiness for lin the defense of nation in the assertion of international rights"
 The essential and indispensable conditions of a sufficient readiness for that will of peace he said, are that:
 We must have continuous research and develop ment.
 We must have stockpile of critical materials
 We must have hand, available, the plants and machinery to manufacture the additional arms and munitions which we would need"
 There was impressive confirmation of this counsel of adequate national defense for peace in the address of Fleet Adm Chester w. NimitZ before the national encampment of the Veterans of Foreign Wars in Boston,
 Viewing the steady and ominous decline of Amer ican defenses since the with consternation Adm. Nimitz said:
 that the nation which reaxes its defenses invites at- tack"
 It is staggering fact he reported, that in the face of an international political situation of the greatest possible menace:
 Our great navy of just year ago, the largest and most powerful to sail the has shrunk to about one-sxth of its wartime size.'
 Speaking on the same platform, Gen. Carl Sp,atz ranking American air commander warned of the same decline in the military aviation establishments of the United States and observed:
 Timely preparation may prevent war, but pre- paraton after War starts only be bought at great cost of life and property" -t -.- tc. While the recent world conflict was decisively fought in the air. and won by the Allied powers solely because they finally achieved supremacy in the air. the next great war will be fought entirely by land and sea forces integrated with air power, and will be won by the nation that is supreme in the air. s, f., os
