Although there are spirited po.

suburbs don't know it.
Nearly every one of the citizen!
who registered in record number
to vote for the first time seems tt
be impelled by the same motive
To cast a ballot for President il
November.
Some, like Martin A. McAnallen
60, of 540O Fortieth avenue
Hyattsville, are voting for the
first time in over 20 years.
Many are former voteless Wash
Iington residents who-unused to
the ballot-have lived in Maryland
for varying lengths of time with
out voting. But they intend to
this year.
They may not show up in such
large numbers in the May S ,pri-
|maries, though. A typical reply
to questions about Democratic
and Republican candidates for
House and Senate nominations was
that of Mrs. G. w. Luke, jr., of
6802 Redtop road, Takoma Park.
II don't even know who's run
ming" she said.
RepiSfration Significant.
So far there has been a signifi-
cant trend in the two nearby coun-
ties which are top-heavy with reg
istered Democrats from previous
years. Republican registration has
forged ahead in Montgomery while
in Prince Georges the new voters
seem to be divided about equally.
At the beginning of the year,
Montgomery had 35,812 Demo-
Gratis, 1884 Republicans and
2,068 who declined to state party
aff1liation. Since January l, 9,351
have registered as Republicans,
1890 as Democrats and over 1,40O
declined.
Of the two counties, the most
recent registration took place in
Prince Georges County. The Re-
publicans were making sharp in
roads in new voter registration
until President Truman announced
he would not run again. Then
the tide turned with most of those
registering declaring themselves
as Democrats. In all. Prince
Georges now has 46,501 Demo-
Gratis, 22,174 Republicans, and o.
288 unaffiliated.
A survey was made of several
precincts there, however, to de-
termine why people were turning
out in such large numbers. their
party preference and any other
pertinent facts they were willing
to talk about. Altogether, about
so persons were interviewed at
random.
State Politics Unheeded.
Mr.. McAnallen has lived in
Hyattsville for 27 years and last
voted in his native Butler, Pa,
over 20 years ago. A retired In
|ternal Revenue agent, he was born
and raised Democrat.
But now," he said, I'm a Re-
publican, the only way decent
man can register this year. I
can't stomach this administration
much longer. I want to be in a
position to vote for Taft"

Republicans Conducting Campaign
OF Confusion, Says Mcfarland
Arizona Junior Senator Says That
Republicans Conducting Compoign
or Confusion To Cover Up Records

Sen. Ernest w. Mcfarland, in
the first major address of his cam
paign for reelection, told Demo-
cratic precinct committeeman and
party workers here Monday night
tnat Republican politicians were
conducting a campaign Of confu-
sion designed to divert attention
of the voter from the Republican
record and the Democratic record.
"The Democrats are proud of
their records" he said, "but the
opposition party does not like to
be reminded of the fact that when
the people discharged them from
their last tenure as managers of
the nations affairs, our country
was in the throes of the most de-
Wasting depression in its history.
They can't sell the people their
shabby bill of goods honestly SO
they would terrify and mislead the
people into purchasing it,.
Continuing, Senator Mcfarland
said: 81 call upon the Republican
apostles of fear in Arizona to name
the laws, the measures and the
programs which are Socialistic and
which they would repeal and
abolish Unless and until they are
frank and honest enough to be
specific in their charges, then L
submit that the voters are entitled
to hold to the belief that the cry
of socialism is the shoddy 'gim-
mick the fraudulent device of self
seeking politicians.

Modern Murriuue
Don't Quarrel Over Finances
Learn to Cooperate

to pretend I know how to beat
this game. but I do know some
ways in which it can be kept from
disturbing the home with charges
and countercharges. Let us have
peace!
It is usually the wife who is
most conscious of what is needed
in the home and it is the husband
who lives closest to the source of
income - the wherewithal. This
does not make the wife a spend
thrift. nor does it make the hus-
band, who is painfully conscious
of his financial limitations, q
tightwad.
The very first thing that has to
be done is to put all spending
under a rigid. definite plan. It is
amazing how much money slips
through the fingers without it
leaving no trace. I have a mimeo-
graphed sheet giving directions fo1
this purpose. It will be sent, with
the compliments Of The Evening
Star, to any one who writes TO,
it, inclosing a self-addresSed
stamped envelope.
Secondly, run the home like q
business and get a simple house
hold account book for IS or SO
cents (Some firms even give them
away Keep it faithfully so you'll
always know what has come in and
what has gone out-and where.
Thirdly. learn to distinguish be-
tween wants and needs. Decide
between you which is which.
Fourthly, make a little game out
Of looping nickels, dimes and even
dollars of the price of things you
have to have by shopping around
and hunting bargains. Have some
fun over it instead of doing battle
Let the whole family in on it.
The result of such handling OF
finances will be that there are
neither tightwads nor spendthrifts
in the family-just smart finan-
ciers.

Finances are the only subject
on which my wife and I really

and ! have to tell her why she
can't. She sees all sorts Of things
that are needed in the home to
keep up appearances or even-I'll
admit-for comfort. We need a
new rug in the living room. We
ought to have an electric fan be-
fore hot weather hits us. We
ought to repaint the bathroom
And so on. I have to agree with
all these and then I have to tell
her that this isn't the time to do it
Something always comes along
to demand priority. First. it's the
property tax. Then the income
tax. Then the automobile insur-
ance. Then the insurance on the
