GOVERNOR APPEALS TO
INDEPENDENT VOTERS
. IN SPEECH AT BELAIR
_i An appeal to the large body of in
dependent voters and of that section
i of the affiliated electorate in which
! definite measures are given prece
dence over partisan considerations
was sotinded by Governor Ritchie at
; a Democratic rally at Belair last
night. A large crowd turned out for
the meeting, which opened the final
! week of the State campaign.
r To those men and women who had
! deferred judgment upon party merits
| until given an opportunity to study
the issues of the campaign, the Gov
ernor declared, next week's election
offered as clear-cut a choice as had
| ever been presented in .Maryland.
There is no need for weighing prom
! ises one against the other, he said.
| for on the one vital issue the Repub
j lira ns had made no promises. They
had failed. Instead, to offer even sug
' gestions or criticisms.
“.More and more as the character
1 of politics has changed,” the Governor
declared, “there has grown up among
Hie voters a spirit of independence,
a willingness to assume the grave re
sponsibility of political judgment,
i This is a healthy change, marking the
subordination of prejudice and blind
adherence to tradition and enlightened
thought and reason.
“While 1 am tnyself a strong party
mail, believing as I do that the State
! of Maryland will always be more effi
ciently governed, more economically
governed, by the Democratic party
than by its opponents, there are many
whose votes will be bestowed upon a
program rather titan upon a party or
even upon men.”

SON, MISSING FROM

From far away Clinton. la.. came a
letter today to police chief Charles
Oberrv. from a sister of one Frank
R. Stewart, seeking information as to
the whereabouts of Stewart, who. it is
stated, left his home there 20 years
ago. and had not since been heard
from. *
The letter, among other things,
states that the aged mother of Stew
art wishes to see him once more.
Stewart is described as 5 feet, 9 inches
in height, brown hair and eyes, and
had a scar behind his ear. Though
gone from his home for a score of
years, the mother still holds out hope
that she may yet hear from him, or
that he will return. The letter gave
no details concerning the man's dis
appearance from home.

On Thursday. October 27, the Mil
lersville Farmers’ Association held Its
first community fair at St. Stephen’s
Parish Hall. In spite of the very
poor growing season and the almost
total failure of fruit crops, there was
a very good showing of all farm aud
! garden products.
The women's exhibit of canned
fruit and vegetables, bread, cake, ptes,
1 etc., was splendid. Outside were pens
of many different breeds of chickens.
I ducks and rabbits; also some regis
tered Guernsey cattle was shown,
j .What perhaps was of most interest
, to the children, many of whom at
tended. were the goats from the farm
!of John Gertz.
j Doctor Oldenberg. of the Federal
t Department of Agriculture, was judge
of fruit, grain and vegetable?, while
Miss Jones, from the University of

Georgianna Linthieum to judge the

Much interest was displayed in this.

Charge Of Malfeasance In Office
Basis Of Action Upon Com

Officials For Coming Election
ASSAULT CASE TAKES
COURT’S TIME TODAY
! For alleged malfeasance in office,
the grand jury of Anne Arundel coun
i ty, now in session, has returned a
' presentment against the Hoard of
Supervisors of Klecitons of the
county. N * K '
The action is based upon alleged
ap|M)intment of Democrats to serve ns
Republican election officials at the
general election to hi held on Tues
day next. Complaints along this line
j were made several days ago by W.
' Hallam Claude, chairman of the Re
j publican Central Committee for the
county.
The specific instances cited wherein
such appointments were made are 11,
out of a total of fit). The position of
the Flection Supervisors in the
premises is. thaf they were compelled
to name Democrats in some instances
in order to complete the lists, owing
j to the fact that the number of Rc
i publican white voters in some sec
i liotis is insufficient from which to
i make selections. Also it develops
like action was taken on former
1 occasions, especially the election of
lust fall, and furthermore, some Re
publicans have expressed opinion that
' that election was one of the most snt
■ isfactory ever conducted in the
j county.
j The Flection Supervisors against
whom the presentment has been rc-
I turned are James F. Strange, presi
dent, and James S. Smith, (Demo
crats). and William H. Meade. (Re
; publican). The latter. It is said, as
sen'ed to the recommendations for ap
pointments. despite the fact that the
matter before'the grrfttd jury was pre
cipitated by a member of his party.

Assault Last* To Jury
i Almost iht* entire session of theOir

trial of Vincent and Joseph Ouggllnz
z r, Italians, of Baltimore, indicted on
the charge of assaulting Joseph Ben-
I son. also of Baltimore. The trial was
! before Judge Moss and a jury, and ibe
1 case was given to the jury shortly be
fore 3 o’clock, following much testi-
I mony.
Had lieen Out Fishing
The alleged assault was the cul
mination of a brawl between a num
ber of Baltimoreans who visited the
shores of Severn river on August 7
last and went out on fishing expedi
tions. Henson was accompanied by a
party of four friends, and there were
! four in another party in addition to
' j the two Gugglinzzers. There was
| much conflict in the testimony ad
duced at the trial. It seems that some
j hot words were exchanged between
• {the men when Henson raided objec
tion to the Gugglinzzers’ drawing
1 their fishing boat too close to his uf
■ I ter he (Benson) had met with some
luck at fishing. The trouble started
,in the early morning hours. Brnsoh,
•it was shown, went ashore to get
some breakfast. His assailants vent
' ashore also. There a fight easoed
during which Henson was struck by a
, boat oar, and also by another instru
