An Opinion

The political campaigns are ending on
mixed notes.
There isn't good feeling between John
r. Foley and Claude Taylor No one ex-
pected there would be. Foley won't have
any difficulty in winning the Democratic
Primary but there will be a surprisingly
large number of protest votes Taylor will
receive, according to the most knowledgeable
observers.
Democrats have no fight in the race for
the seven members of the Delegation to the
State Convention. A compromise slate was
agreed upon and nothing has upset it,
The Republican campaign for the NOM
ination for Congress has been on a high
level. One candidate Charles Matthias, has
been head and shoulders above the other
two, so there is no doubt about the outcome
Jim Buchanan and Byng Duvall are both
good Republicans but neither quite approach
the political maturity of Matthias Therefore,
Charles Matthias is expected to win by a
fairly large vote.
Republican leaders who have been work.
ing for Matthias election are so enthusiastic
about his political acumen that they think he
has good chance of beating John r. Foley
who took the seat away from Dewitt Hyde
two years ago.
There is friendly campaign among
10 or 10 Republicans who want to attend
the day-long Republican State Convention

Der clearly the circuit judgeship
election four years ago when
Ralph Shure, alleged Democrat
and currently a candidate for
election to the bench, backed
the Republican candidate over
two exceptionally well-qualified
Democrats.
Switch HIT rs might be well

they should be benched in poll

If Ralph Shure is a man of
consistency, perhaps he should
be lending a helping hand to
one of his Republican, oppo-

Shure has had an 18th hour
conversion and figures that it
is expedient to trumpet his
faith and loyalty to the Dem

Make Zone Choice

Mirror, mirror on the wall who's the
fairest of them all?" cackled the old witch
as she held beautiful mask in front of her
face.
The verdict naturally went in favor of
the pretty picture made by the mask and
the victory went to the witch.
Quaint as this tableau might seem, it
has been going on for years before the
county council. But now someone has taken
the first steps toward ending repeat per.
formances.
Opening scenes have taken this line: a
county landowner sees a chance to use his
land more proftably, maybe for shopping
center.
So he goes before the county council
and applies for commercial zoning and takes
with him very pretty picture of stylish
stores, neatly designed parking lots dotted
with trees, maybe graceful fountain or
two and quite blue sky overall.
A public hearing is advertised in the
newspapers but few people are concerned
with shopping center nearby, so no. many
show up. The hearing is concluded, the
record closed
Weeks or months later, the council de-
cides the grant commercial coming. and that's
that. Or is it?
Lo and behold, the landowner shows up
at the department of inspections and licenses
and applies for a building permit for apart

Your Vote

T is an unfortunate fact of political life that party

nonaly arouse only meager voter interest One basis of
this apathy is the popular if completely allacous belief
that after ALL the real decisions are made in the gen.

Nothing could be farther from the truth BY Novem-

candidates for each office Maybe won't like either
And in any event. the real issues might well have become
blurred by the effect of months of partisan propaganda

least important of a-he presidential preferential Sen

And the result will not necessarily bind the Democratic

seriously. Most of them however, have been
satisfied to enjoy themselves during the
past weeks.
The Judicial race has been the one which
has provided the real feeling in Primary
campaigning. This applies to both Parties
Some of the bitterness caused by emo
tional political zeal leads one to believe
that perhaps it is unwise to elect rather
than appoint members of the Circuit Court
We have seen several campaigns for the
Judgeship leave heavy bitterness which
never was erased We are afraid this one
is of that type.
It is not healthy to see law-brothers 90
at each other with fight in their eyes.
Followers of various candidates, however
seem more heated than the cause calls for
But this campaign might be just another
excuse for certain group of people who
enjoy the same political. social and economic
ideologes to sharpen their wits and band
together tighter than before. At least, it
seems that way
Judge Shure, by and large, has the full
support of what is known as the regular
Democratic organization But he also has
followers among the more liberal group
That is, many of the lawyers in the liberal
group seem to understand the difference be-
tween campaign for the Judgeship and
one for County Council or the House of
Delegates Legal minds do not want to fool
around too much with the Courts

holes in other coming categories whereby
landowners may do other than what they
told the council
Nobody applauded the councils perform
ance this past Tuesday, but they put on a
pretty good show. They asked the county
attorneys office if it might be lawful to set
up new coming practice called Conditional
zoning"
In the broadcast sense, this kind of con-
troll would grant re-zoning to applicants if
they followed through by using the land
the way they said they would, and within
a certain time. If not, the land would be
subject to rezoning back to its original
state, and the applicant could be prosecuted
On the face of it, this would seem to be
a pretty good way of squashing those bugs
that change their color at will, and still re.
main the same old bugs.
Still, there remains the question Of
whether the county has the right to tell a
man what he can build. and when. on his
own land. Who knows, situations beyond the
ken of anyone may come around the corner
tomorrow, forcing cancellation of building
plans.
And suppose the land is sold before a
tlfhe unit expires. Is the new buyer bound
by conditions imposed on the seller?
The Maryland Court of Appeals has held
repeatedly that you may not zone on con.
ditlon. II county decides to do so, II must
amend its local coming laws.
1t will be interesting to see what the
council does with this familiar problem. And
there is little doubt that the countys at.
torney will tell the council that the law
