Grady Gore Files
For u. S. Senate Seat

H. Grady Gore, Montgomery county,
filed his candidacy for the Republi-
can nomination for the United States
Senate last Saturday.
In making the announcement, Mr..
Gore said this would be a campaign
Tor all the Marylanders who are tired
of government of the politicians, by
the politicians and for the politicians.
He is So years old and farmer
He declared:
For several years | have felt
that our present Administration is
not true reflection Of the American
peoples desire for clean, construc-
tive government. With other real
Americans | have watched the man
agement of our magnificent Republic
degenerate into a greedy fight for
personal prestige, special privilege and
reelection. AS the head of family,
as taxpayer and as good citizen, |
determined to take more active part
in the next election.
81 believe firml yin political prin-
ciples which rise from the will of free
people. | do not believe in national
politics that start with handpicked
nominees for high office Therefore,
l propose to maxi the coming pri-
mary a real contest for all candidates
instead of a typical election controlled
by a few top-level professional pol
iticians. This is to be fight for the
political principles that made us
great country.
Either we get our government
back in the hands of capable men with
obvious integrity, OF we perish as
nation. No matter how rich a nation
is, it cannot stand up against bribery,
corruption and crackpot planning. The
people will elect a man who draws
from them the strength of purpose
and wisdom for a hard fought, honest
campaign, and for honest and efficient
government"

mend the laurel and rhodo-
dendron leaves from this

nothing nicer for a fresh touch
than these leaves. Especially
during cold weather, when you
want a touch of green about
the house. The plants at this
stand are also worth investi-
eating. No matter what the
occasion, Thomas g. Slye will
prepare beautiful flowers for
