RITCHIE AND NICE
; “WET” CANDIDATES
Rivals For Governor State Their
1 Position On This Issue

S
; ANSWER QUESTIONNAIRE
e *—■
Attorney-General Albert C Ritchie.
e Democrat, and State's Attorney Harry
1 W. Nice, of Baltimore city, Repuhli
-1 can, candidates for Governor, are
1 “wet” candidates.
* Their respective attitudes on pro
hibition legislation have been made
known by the Anti-Prohibition League
which published their replies to Us
questionnaire of August 21, directed
to them ‘with a view do ascertaining
their views. There Is no marked dif
! ference between the replies of the
two candidates. Mr. Nice’s answer is
in condensed form, but Is as far-reach
ing as that of his opponent. The only
diffeernee is, Mr. Ritchie goes into rie
| tails. An intelligent person would ad
mit that both candidates take the
sa’me stand.
The Important issue in the next Gen
eral Assembly will be the adoption or
rejection of the dry enforcement j
ineasurd, which has passed the House
of Representatives and which is now (
pending in the Senate. Some kind'of
an enforcement law will be enacted'
before the amendment goes into ef- !
feet. The Anti-Saloon League, in its ;
questionnaire, will demand that all
State xvlde and legislative candidates j
commit themselves unequivocally to
concurrent” action by the legislature, ]
hat Maryland enact without a change!
the dry Jaw to be passed by Congress. ;
‘egardless of Its eonstutionality and 1
also regardless of the fact that it ;
wipes out police powers, which are j,
reserved to the States by the Federal
Constitution. It the legislature “con
curs” then the State constabulary
force must enforce- the national act.
if it does not “concur,” then the Fed
eral government will have the power
to enforce it. This means that police
men could be sent here from other
States to be anti-booze hounds and
sleuths and to arrest violators of the
law.
Against such outside invasion the
gubernatorial and legislative candi
dates will array themselves.
TEACHERS’ SALARIES
WILL NOT BE CHANGED
At Its last session before the open
ing of the schools, which will take
place next Monday, the Board of
School Commissioners for Aline Arun
del county had quite a number of im
' port ant matters to attend to, and the
meeting was a busy one.
Among the matters concerning the
filling of positions in the Annapolis
schools the Board has announced that
Miss Uuydim, who taught in the An
napolis school a few years ago hut
who has since been in New Jersey,
will return to this city and take
charge of one of the grades of the
primary department.
The salaries of teachers, it was de
cided, will not be changed this year,
inasmuch as their legal standardiza
tion prohibits any such action on the
part of the Schol Board.
TO THE PEOPLE OF
MY HOME TOWN
In the closing days of the primary
contest, a few people who see that 1
km likely to win the Senatorial nomi
nation and who would perfer anyone
else because they know that I am as
touch opposed to their un-Demoeratic
bnd machine methods as I am to the
feame thing in others, are trying to in
jure me by telling voters, lacking a
better argument, that I have no
chance to win.
As a matter of fact, I am convinced
by reports from all sections of the
bounty that the tide has set definitely
towards me. and have no fear that
these devices will weaken my sup
port anywhere, particularly in my own
home, in which I have lived all my
life and whose people 1 have tried to
serve in the ways which seemed to me
to mean most.
Almost without exception, those j
who are using this contemptible de- J
vice are office-holders, candidates or 1
men definitely interested in slate-mak
ing and machine-building, the things
\ oppose and which have grown so ob
noxious to our people. Some of them
are men who profess to be strong
•friends of mine, but whose friendship
‘never shows itself when it means any
thing.
I am confident that these efforts will
nave no effect. Every person in a
position to know the facts, realizes
that the contest is between Mr. Brady
and myself. The voters know where I
Island on the real issues; they will not
be deceived by silence.

■ ! RAMPANT IN CITY
Midnight Blaze At Site Of “Circle
Playhouse” Indicates
Incendiarism
[r
FLUIDS SPREAD AROUND
Fire that was discovered Saturday
night shortly lefore midnight in the
property on State Circle, letween
Cornhill and East streets, that is being !
demolished to clear the site for the
f erection of the “Circle Playhouse,” or
moving picture theatre and which is
lelieved to have teen of incendiary
origin, probably would have resulted
jin great destruction of property tut
for its early discovery and the prompt .
and efficient work of the firemen. j
That a fire bug is at work about I
the city is the belief almost generally i
prevailing, not only as pertains to this j
blaze, but there have been several !
other fires of a similar nature in or
about the city during the last several
weeks. And although the police offi
cials have been conducting diligent)
search, they have as yet been unable)
to gain any information pertaining to j
the miscreant.
! The damage amounted to nothing
, owing to the fact that the building
| was being torn down, but had it gain
!ed much headway it would have
, threatened a thickly settled residential
j section. That the blaze was of incen
! diary origin is indicated by the fact
I that three empty bottles that had con
tained either kerosene or gasoline,
I linseed oil or turpentine were found
I in the rear of the building where the
blaze was discovered. Furthermore,
here was evidence that all three of
|these fluids bad been profusely spread
about different sections of the build
! ing.
The fire was one of several of a 1
| similar nature that have occurred dur- 1
ing the last several weeks.

NARROW ESCAPE OF
YOUNG GIRL FROM
SERIOUS INJURY
Katherine Holland Knocked Down By
Automobile On West Street—Suf
fered Cuts And Bruises
Knocked down bv an automobHe
while running across West street In
the vicinity of the carnival grounds
shortly before 8 o’clock Saturday even
ing, Katherine Holland, ?-year-old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Hol
land, living on West street, near Sec
ond street, narrowly escaped serious
and perhaps fatal injuries.
The child had just left the home of
her parents and started across West
street towards the carnival grounds,
when the automobile, driven by a
naval officer, going out West
street, came along. Fortunately, the
girl was only struck by one wheel
of the auto and the car did not pass
over her body as at first thought.
Considerable excitement prevailed
’for a time, as crowds had already as
sembled for the carnival. Crying
j loudly, little Katherine ran into her
j home. She sustained cuts about the
face and arms, and body bruises, but
did not suffer more serious hurts. Her
cries appeared to be largely the result
of fright over the occurrence,
j Automobiles were parked all along
jWest street at the time of the aeci
jdent. and there was a steady stream
of cars moving to and fro, when the
naval officer came along in his
•;ar. He brought his machine to a
stop, and going to the house, offered
o take her to the hospital. A phy
sician who had arrived at the house,
in tbe meantime, and examined the
young girl, decided it would be unnec
essary to remove her to the hospital.

MORAL ISSUES IN
COMING PRIMARY
ELECTION ARGUED
“Shall Law Be Enforced, Or Law
lessness Encouraged," By
Md. Office Holders
TWO SUPREME ISSUES
"The Moral Issues In the Coming
Primary Election,’’ was the subject
discussed last Sunday evening at First
Methodist Episcopal Church by the
pastor. Rev. H. Wilson Burgan. The
sermon was listened to by a large
number of voters, a few of whom came
from outside the city to hear the
topic treated.
Dr. Burgan made no reference
‘whatever to parties or candidates, hut
in a broad way dwelt with two out
standing moral issues involved in the
primaries as well as the coming gen
eral election. In treating of anti-race
track gambling he showed that it had
been outlawed in every State in the
Union. New York, Pennsylvania, Il
linois, and all the other States had
long ago looked upon the evil as dis
astrous to morals, and had driven it
out of their borders, so that it flour
ishes now in Maryland and in a lesser
degree in Kentucky—two backward
States in this reform, and the only
two.
With regard to the other question
he showed that prohibition was no
longer an issue since it had been
written into the Constitution of the
United States and -was now the law of
the land. The only question Is, Bhall
the law be enforced, or shall lawless
ness be encouraged by those holding
'office in Maryland. Mr. Burgan quot
ed Congressman Carville Benson, who
