BLAKENEY | X REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS Second Congressional District of Maryland ELECTION, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 2nd, 1920 THE BALTIMORE COUNTY CHARTER THROUGH many years of experience at Annapolis women have learned that politics in Baltimore county was at the lowest possible ebb. The Baltimore county delegation could always be relied upon to vote “wrong” on every imaginary issue. It was “wet,” it was “anti suffrage,” and its members unanimously agreed with Carvil Benson, the Baltimore county leader, that “Pure democracy has worked destruction every place it has been tried in the history of the world.” When the General Assembly passed the amendment providing for home rule in the various counties, the politicians did not surmise that any county charter would be proposed abolishing the county commissioners. Probably the amendment would have failed had the politicians conceived of this possibility, for the political machine is constructed around these effete offices. Now, the Baltimore county charter proposes to do away with the com missioners, and legally may do so if the charter is approved, and the poli ticians are loud in their protests, for they see their corrupt machine tumbling about their ears. A vote for the Baltimore county charter is a vote against the Balti more county Democratic machine. Under these circumstances, any Bal timore county suffragist will know how to cast her ballot. Carville D. Benson stands self-indicted as an enemy of democracy. On election day remember that Mr. Benson in 1918 said “Pure democracy has worked destruction every place it has been tried in the history of the world.” THE ALPHA PHOTO ENGRAVING COMPANY ARTISTS ENGRAVERS MGG Comer-G-Zayetteiffo " BAL TtMOKR, ALA fZYLA /VF? .
