COP. Will Pick
Candidates For
County Council
: Continued from Page y

Continued from Puge
"Since the election Of a Republic
can Administration in 1916, they
have proven that good government
is possible without subsection TO
any political boss. The voters have
spoken. Although our county COM
missioners will not have an oppor-
tunity to carry out the constructive
program which they have started,
we will cooperate to see that the
mandate of the people is carried.
81 have received a letter from
the Charter Committee requesting
suggestions for possible candidates
for the county council. The State
Central Committee will further
discuss this question with members
Of the delegation to Annapolis and
other leaders with view to having
list Of qualified candidates to
recommend"
The Charter Committee has
announced that it will endorse
seven candidates for the council
without regard to party utilization
but on basis Of demonstrated
ability and unquestioned integrity.
However, any person who obtains
500 signatures on qualifying
petition may become a candidate.
Mrs. Alma T. Opal, Takoma
Park Republican, announced her
candidacy for one of the two at
large seats on the Council. 1t was
the first such announcement to be
made since the charter was adopt

close contact with the daily lives
Of the people. Is it because
number of them don't care? Is
it because they were unable to
make up their minds? It would
be most enlightening if some
one were able to answer these
questions.
Voting on Statewide issues
showed an even worse COMPARE
son. Only small percentage of
the people voted on the Consti-
tutional Amendments. And in
this the conclusion can be drawn
that the voter feels no concern
whatever in matters necessarily
referred as Constitutional
Amendments. In all there we're
eight Statewide issues, several
Of which affected only Baltimore
City. It is unfortunate that mat
tiers Of this type cannot be de-
termined without referring to
the electorate. But where Con-
stitutional Amendments are re-
quired the Constitution itself
provides that such changes be
submitted to the voters. Balti-
more City had twenty-five ques-
tions on the ballot and any
thoughtful person will agree
that it is too much to expect
people to study and know all
about these many issues. AS a
consequence they just failed to
vote them.
But to accept this reasoning
for failure to vote on Statewide
issues does not explain why in
Montgomery County people
failed to vote on the Charter
which Is calculated to change
every department of public ac-
tivity in the county; or why so
many in Baltimore County
failed to express an opinion on
a special sales tax which APP
plies only to Baltimore County,
or why, in Howard County, so
high a percentage of voters
failed to express themselves on
either the School Bond Issue or
the Rattle Bill.

RULERS OF THE U. S. A.
BY George Seldes. Don't &

BY this time Mr.. Seldes' conclu-
sions and his method are thorough
ly familiar. He has been concerned
with the power which he says a
comparatively few wealthy Ameri-
cans WELD over the rest Of the
country. He blames the press for
its alleged failure to enlighten the
people and so arouse them to de-
mand relief.
The book is a variation on the
theme. Quoting from selected
sources, he insists that wealth buys
elections and controls the press. He
sees a trend toward fascism in all
this asserted manipulation. He sees
no menace in communism and
hardly mentions it except to deplore
"red-baiting." He is indignant over
such organizations as the National
of Manufacturers, the
Committee for Constitutional Gov
eminent, and American Action, Inc,
described as successor to the Liberty
League. He is not interested in the
propaganda spread by the Youth
Congress, the American Association
Against War and Fascism and their
successors and theological affiliates.
His favorite publications include
the Nation, the New Republic, the
New York Post and the newspa-

She offers no apology for what

This plot does not come too much.
The substance of the book is its

for instance, this description Of the
