fact, when 1 tell my secretary I will
be out of my Office for about ten
minutes, it usually winds up in my
being gone for an hour or more be-
cause, just as sure as [ walk down
the street, someone is bound to stop
me to talk politics.
Not so much because of my own
opinion, which all of you know who
read this column is 100 per cent
Eisenhower, but because of what
people tell me, / am firmly convinc-
ed that a big majority of the voters,
not only in Washington County but
all over this nation, have made up
their mind to get rid of the Demo-
cratic administration on November a.
But electing Eisenhower is not
enough. If he is going to do the job
that feel certain he is capable of
doing in Washington, he must have
the backing of Congress and in or
der to have that it is imperative that
we have a Republican majority in
both the House and the Senate.
All we can do in Washington Coun-
ty to bring about that result is to
vote the Republican ticket right
down the line, so 1 urge you, if you
want Eisenhower for president, to
also cast your vote for Glenn Beall
for the u. S. Senate and Dewitt
Hyde for representative of the Sixth
Congressional District
Glenn Beall is known to all of us,
having served in the House from this
District for ten years. During that
time he has worked hard for his
District and his Party and deserves
your support in his quest of the Sen
ate seat.
While Dewitt Hyde is not so well
known as Glenn Beall, his record as
a State Senator from Montgomery
County gives evidence that he will
be worthy successor to Beall in the
House of Representatives.
Elected to the House of Delegates
in 1946-the year in which the Re
publican party in Montgomery Coun-
ty was at a low ebb - Hyde was
elected by a substantial majority.
Four years later, in 1850, the people
of Montgomery County thought so
much of him that they elected him
to the State Senate and he was in
strumental in bringing self govern
ment to Montgomery County.
A young lawyer Che is only 42)
and a veteran of World War II where
he saw two years of action in the
South Pacific on a minesweeper, Mr..
Hyde returned home in 1916 with
the rank of lieutenant commander.
A strong churchman and home
loving husband, Mr.. Hyde can be
counted upon, not only to really
represent the Sixth Congressional
District in the House, but also to
back up General Eisenhower to the
limit.
So I repeat, when you go to the
polls on. November 4, if you want
Eisenhower, not only to be elected,
but to clean out the mess in Wash
ington, back him up by voting the
Republican ticket straight down the
line.
And talking about politics, when
people start to boost Governor Ste
venson to me, my answer is:
How can you expect man who
hasn't been able to clean out crime
and corruption in his own state of
Illinois, one of the worst crime-rid-
den states in the Union, to clean out
corruption in Washington?
The Chronic Disease Hospital site
is now in the hands of the State
Board of Public Works, the members
of which are Governor McKeldin,
Comptroller Tawes and State Treas
urer Niles, and what they are going
to do with it is still unknown.
The State Department of Health,
at a meeting held last week, voted to
throw out the Bellevue Home site
and put the hospital on site back
of the County Hospital. This move
on their part, however, is only a
recommendation, as the final word
rests with the State Board of Public
Works.
AS 1 have told you in this column
many times before, the Board of
County Commissioners have offered
the State of Maryland, free of all
costs, the Bellevue site for the hos
pital and when State Senator Nc
Laughlin introduced the three-nil-
lion-dollar bond bill for the building
of the Hospital in Hagerstown that
the Senate passed, he emphasized the
fact that Washington County was
providing an ideal site without one
penny cost to the State.
