the more truthful appear the
words of that master Snowman,
P. T. Barnum, 1.-THE American
People like to be humbugged."
That is, Son, they like to be hum
bugged in politics, at least here
in Rockville where ! have lived
for the past six years.
There appears to be here in
Rockville a gang that apparently
feels they own and monopolize
Rockville body and soul, while
others should pay their taxes and
keep their mouths shut, regard
less of facts. This said gang
seems to thrive on thinking up
and circulating dirty, up-Ameri-
can, untrue stories about any
candidates and their fellow work
ers that don't fall in line behind
their set-up and say Eyes Sir,
Boss"
Their ways of political maneu-
evring appear to be patterned
after the methods used by Hitler
and Mussolini during their cam
paigns of limited control" in
which they used every conceiv-
able means of circulating I'M
truths such as whispering pro-
paganda, which they know to be
false. By such propaganda they
have deceived the voting public
and prevented the better form of
government which during the
past few years a large number
of Rockville's citizens have tried
to bring about.
1t is pleasure for the citizens
of East Rockville to admit the
building of a foot bridge across
the creek on Seth place that runs
parallel with Horners Lane. This
shows on the city map to be
through street. On several ocas-
sions the promise was made for
a bridge which would accommo-
date vehicles. The question now
is, when do we get what has been
promised US? And why was the
waste of material labor, and
green paint which no doubt cost
as much as a vehicle bridge that
will eventually have to be put in
Where were our master Civil En-
gineers when this great feat was
accomplish?
Speaking again of whispering
campaigns, every time you go to
town, you can hear new line of
horrible tales about this or that
candidate running on the Good
Government ticket. One of their
pet complaints is that one of these
candidates is a foreigner" Now,
may I ask, how many of the pre-
sent candidates on any slate are
NOT foreign TO Rockville? l shall
have to admit that Mr. Hovsepian
is foreigner who has come all
the way from Pennsylvania where
he was born, educated, and grad
uated from the University of
Pennsylvania.
In regard to his war record, he
is a decorated veteran of World
War II who holds an honorable
discharge from the United States
Army as a captain; and is now
employed under the United States
Civil Service regulations, assign
ed to the Army Map Service as
a member of the Operations and
Planning Staff. Mr.. Hovsepian's
position was assigned after his
record of ability and character as
a Civil Engineer with experience
in City Planning was examined.
He was thoroughly investigated
by the F.B.I. and United States
Civil Services Commission. His
world wide record with the United
States assures the people that his
position and ability is not fly
by-night or "hot air. type.
Now in conclusion / shall have
TO admit there are some "Reds"
in Rockville, I'll say, Son, RED
FLOODED AMERICANS who
can and will stand on their two
feet on May 3 and vote and re-
fuse to be dictated to as to their
American rights as voters.
In Russia they only have one
group for which TO vote; they
have to take it or leave it. But
voting is must in that country!
Heretofore what has been the
case in Rockville? We have most
~ had only one choice too. Now
however, we have slate running
that was chosen democratically
regardless of what the propagan-
da specialists would have us be-
lieVe.
Friday night, April %, at $3.50
o'clock, the Rockville Civic AS.
ISOLATION will hold meeting in
the new County Building Auditor
ium. They have invited all candi.
dates to appear and express their
views freely. The general public
is invited to come. see, and hear
the various candidates running
