HUNTER APPARENT DROWNING VICTIM

Jack Wessman of Anchorage apparently lost his life August 21 when the rubber raft in which he was riding overturned in the Ma tanuska River, about Mile 7R on the Glenn Highway.
 The victim and Wilfred Ken meth Williams, fellow worker at the 5025the Maintenance Group, Elmendorf Air Force Base, had made a successful crossing to King Mountain the previous day for a sheep hunt and were at tempting return crossing when the raft upset, throwing both men into the swift icy waters. Williams told territorial police that he hung onto a rope on the 7-man raft and that when he sur faced he saw Wassman struggling in the water about 30 feet behind. Meanwhile the plight of the men was witnessed by two men pass ing on the highway. One of the men, Roland Osborn, reported to territorial police that he and his companion made an attempt to rescue Wassman when he floated

The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1954-06-24

The Republican Voters of the
County will choose their candidates
for the general election in November
on Monday, June %. Perhaps the
most important of these offices is
our State Senator. You have a choice
between two candidates. Let's eX-
anime the records Of these two men.
FIRST-A former Senator, Cliff
ford Friend, is again seeking your
support. Look at this Candidates
record:
He has consistently and vigor-
ously opposed every effort to improve
and strengthen the school system of
Garrett County. In 1896 he was our
State Senator. At that time the Fed
eral Public Works Administration
was functioning Practically every
County official, then in office, urged
Senator Friend to pass legislation
giving the County funds to secure
Federal Matching funds. 1t was pro-
posed that the Legislature authorize
the County to borrow 100000 for
school construction purposes. The
members Of the House Of Delegates
were in favor Of the proposal. Mr..
Friend refused to give the matter
any consideration whatever. Had he
coOperated with the authorities by
borrowing 100000, the Government
would have matched this amount and
the County would have had available
$1,000, 900. This amount Of money in
1896 and 1897 would have constructed
school buildings which today would
cost near $4,000,000. The S500,000
would have long since been paid, we
would have had school buildings the
equal of any in the State. The respon-
sibility for this staggering loss to
the County rests sQuarely on the
shoulders Of Mr.. Friend.
Mr. Friend now takes credit for
the addition to the GrantsVille school.
He had nothing whatever to do with
that and in fact it was accomplished
in spite of him.
SECOND-In 1949 this same
man again fought every effort to i'm
prove our school system. In 1947 the
Legislature authorized this County
to borrow One and One-Half Million
dollars urgently needed for school
construction purposes. After months
Of investigation and study the Coun-
ty Commissioners and the Advisory
Committee Of seven representative
citizens determined upon a building
program and proceeded to act under
the authority given them in said Act.
On August p, 1949, Mr. Friend and
others filed suit in the Circuit Court
for Garrett County seeking an in
junction to restrain the authorities
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1954-06-24

from proceeding with the building
program. This case was heard by the
Circuit Court on October 20, 1949. On
November 10, 1949, the Court unani-
mOusly dismissed their Bill of Com
plant. Still not being content with
the decision Of the three judges, Mr..
Friend and others took an appeal to
the Court of Appeals Of Maryland.
On May II, 1850, that Court unani-
mously upheld the lower Court.
Still not being content with the
Courts decision, Mr. Friend then
sought to be elected State Senator in
1850 so that he could block this con-
structiOn program but suffered de-
feat at the hands of the voters. AS a
result Of this litigation and the pro-
lection Of this matter into politics, the
program was delayed for approx
mately Is months. Reliable statistics
show that building construction
costs rose 25 per cent to % per cent
during this particular period In
other words had the authorities been
able to proceed without this extended
delay Garrett County would have
saved approximately a half million
dollars, or the equivalent Of the cost
of two auditOliumS to the new
schools. Mr. Friend poses as an apos-
tie Of economy, His record shows
that he has been a most expensive
luxury for the taxpayers of the
County. This man now pretends to be
a friend of the boys and girls Of Gar
rett County.
THIRD-Mr. Friend served in
the Senate Of Maryland for eight
years. He does not pretend to seek re-
election on his record in office He
cannot point to a single constructive
achievement that he accomplished in
eight years. He takes credit for the
passage Of the Act returning the
County Roads maintenance to the
County Commissioners. In the Law
that brought about that, he inserted
an amendment that completely
bound the hands of the Commission
ers in accomplishing any construc-
tive progress. His amendment pro-
vided that the Commissioners should
not spend more than $4,000 in any
one year for road machinery and
equipment. Of course, it was impos-
sible to accomplish anything while
that provision was in the Law and
the 1915 Legislature repealed that
provision under emergency legisla-
ton.
FOURTH-Mr. Friend in recent
advertisements indicates his great
interest in getting industry to locate
in Garrett County. Have you ever
heard Of Mr.. Friend actively support
inc any movement of anV kind look
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1954-06-24

ing to the best interest and advance
ment of the welfare Of the County,
or aiding in obtaining industries, eX-
cept when he is candidate for Of
flee?
Do you believe he is for good
schools?
Do you believe he is for good
roads?
Do you believe he is for good
hospitals and libraries?
Do you believe he is for fair
wage for labor?
In our opinion, the answer is
clearly mo"
Let's examine the record of this
mans opponent, Arthur Green. He
has ably represented this County in
the Maryland Legislature for ten
years. He has consistently supported
every measure for the betterment
and improvement Of our school sys-
tenn, both State and local.
He has consistently supported
and worked for legislation designed
to improve and rebuild our State
Road system. The 12-year plan is the
greatest road building program that
the State has ever had.
He has been elected three times
as the minority leader in the House Of
Delegates, thus proving the high es-
TEEN and respect that the thirty-five
Republican members Of the House
held for him.
He is a member of the Legisla-
tive Council Of Maryland and is the
first and only Representative from
Garrett County that has been so
hOnOred.
During the past three sessions Of
the Legislature Mr.. Green has
served as a member Of the House
Ways and Means Committee, the
most powerful and important Com
mittee in the House Of Delegates, and
has frequently served on sub-com-
mittees studying various matters re-
lating to the finances Of the State.
The important assignments
held by Mr.. Green in the Maryland
Legislature and on the Legislative
Council are proof Of his ability and
the confidence Of his fellow-legisla-
tors, both in the Senate and the
House.
We think that Garrett County
needs citizen Of this type and intel
lectual capacity to continue to serve
our County at Annapolis.
