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

BELIEVE FIRE BUG ■ ! 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. PRICE ONE CENT 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. Rescne Hose Co. Wants All Bills Management of the Rescue Hose Carnival is asking that ali bills of any sort whatsoever be presented at once to the chairman of all committees, Mrs. G. Abram Moss. It is desired to 'settle up accounts and make returns 'as soon as possible after the close of tonight’s carnival.

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 (Continued On Page Five)
