BAUM & SON THiS RITCHIE UNDER FIRE ON WATER- POWER PROJECT AT CONOWINGO (Continued from First Page.) who has been a power in the Eastern Shoré, and Bladen Lowndes supported Hill in the primary campaign. On the surface at lenst they are not at- tacking Weller in the present cam- paign. The wet and dry issue is cutting some figure in the campaign. Gov. Ritchio is wet, and Representative Tydings is just as pronouncedly wet. Mulliken, the Republican guberna- torial candidate, has said that he was opposed to the adoption of the eight- eenth amendment and to the passage of the Volstead act. He said that he will not urge the enactment of a State prohibition enforcement law. But he also has said that he belleves that the old State license laws, etc., are suffi- cient to provide full enfdrcement of the prohibition law and that if he is elected governor he will enforce them. This goes well in the counties, where the drye are strong, but not so well In Daitimore city, which 1s wringing wet. Water Issue Put Forward. In fact, the Mulliken remarks about law enforcement weakened him in Raltimore, It began to look as though the liquor question was to be the main fs<ue of the campaign. The Republi- n managers rushed to the rescue ith the alleged water-power deal issue three weeks ago and have con- centrated all their efforts on that. Senator Weller, during the pri- mary campaign, was described & association against the prot! amendment as “satisfactory,” along with John Philip Hill But the drys have a super hate for Hill, who has derided them in season and out. They threw their strength to Weller not £o. or Weller made a for- announcement that he' was wet, that he stood for medification of e dry laws. But the Republican State platform denounces the “States’ rights” articles of the Ritchle platform, and the wets see an_inconsistency in Welier wet and Weller against States’ rights. 8o much so that Arthur W. Machen, head of the Maryland branch of the Association Against the Prohibition Amendment, has now assailed Senator Weller and declared that no true wet can vote for him. Drys Seen For Weller. The Anti-Saloon League has made no declaration in support of Weller. How |could it, when Weller had declared himself a wet? But it is belleved here that the dry organization will do as much as it can quietly to help Sena- tor Weller win the election agalnst Tydings, who is an uncompromising wet. Tydings has one element of strength which neither Gov. Ritchie nor Sen- ator Weller possess—his strength with the soldier vote. When the United States entered the World War, Tydings was one of the first to go, as an enlisted man. When the war was over, Tydings held the rank of lieutenant colonel and had a record for gallantry in action. He was cited by Gen. Pershing and others and re- ceived the Distinguished Service Med al. He will receive the vote of the ex- service men almost solidly, the Dem- ocrats say. Tydings is a red-headed young man, only 36. He has been speaker of the Maryland House of Delegates, mem- ber of the State Senate and has twice been elected to Congress. He is wide- ly known as a hard hitting fighter. But Tydings has a strong opponent in Senator Weller. Senator Weller conducts the most remarkable cam- paign of any candidate for the Senate OFFICE FURNITURE [5 616 E N.W.

We never makes a speech. He rarely issues a statement. Only two state- ments have emanated from him during the present campaign, one that he is wet and the other that he is against the Ku Klux Klan. Organizing His Hobby. But as an organizer Senator Weller has few: equals. As a letter writer he has none. For years he has been writing letters to voters in Maryland, and he is writing them by the thou- sands now. Whenever there has been a wedding, or a funeral, whenever a boy or girl won a prize either in school or on the farm for pig raising, Senator Weller sent a personal letter of congratulations or symp#thy. He has classified the voters in groups, bankers, country store-keepers, black- smiths, etc., and he sends to them literature published by the Govern- ment which he believes will be in- teresting to them. When legislation is up in the Senate in which he be- lieves they are interested he writes to them again. Senator Weller is a graduate of the Naval Academy at Annapolis, class of 1881. He left the Navy and studied law, went into business. He gained his first prominence in Maryland as head of the highway commission, ‘when he organized and put through Maryland’s highway development. In 1915 he ran for governor on the I RS I 2 Complete Assortments of Masquerade Costumes for men, women and children at Reduced Pric Men’s Shop—Street Floor AT EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., Republican ticket against Emerson C. Harrington. The Democrats were in a factional row at the time. Harring- ton defeated Weller by only 2,500 votes. They tell a story that Senator Weller complained bitterly because his managers insisted he should go out into the country to deliver speeches when he believed he could do more by sitting in an office and perfecting his organization, writing letters and conferring with leaders great and small. Ignores His Opponent. At any rate that is the campaign policy he has maintained ever since. It is the kind of campaign he made when he beat Hill for the Senate nomination. It is the kind of cam- aign he is now waging against dings. He simply ignores the other fellow and goes ahead organizing and organizing. Just how effective his campaign is will not be known conclu- sively until election day has come and gone. Tydings complains bitterly against his opponent for not coming out in the open and fighting, and accuses Weller of instigating a whispering campaign. The Republicans are more hopeful of electing Senator Weller than they are of beating Gov. Ritchie. Their hope is that they will be able so to reduce Ritchie's vote, however, that Tydings with less strength than Ritchie will fall before the organizing ‘Weller. They take courage, tqo, from the fact that many of the voters of Maryland vote Democratic in State elections, but give their preference to the Republicans in national. ‘They are doing their, utmost to con- vince the voters that the election of a United States Senator is a national, A Satisfaciion GSPAL ; 8§10-818 Seventh Street not a State, matter. Senator Weller is pointing with pride to the accom- plishments of the Coolidge administra- tion and asserting that he played his part in those accomplishments. He is popular with the business men in fifltn.l‘hmore and in other parts of the State. Ritchle Turns to Poetry. Gov. Ritchie, who has been promi- nently mentioned as a possible nomi nee for President in 1928, was cam- paigning out in the State when the Re- publicans began their waterpower at- tacks on him. He treated them lightly at first. But lately he hurried back to Baltimore and began replying vig- orously to the Republican charges. Republicans say that the people are paying serious attention to these charges and becoming suspiclous of the governor. The governor, in a speech delivered at Frederick, Md., replied to his crit- ics in verse, using a parody on Poe’s “Raven,” as follows: “And the parrot, never blinking, Still is talking, without thinking, On a long-exploded subject, All across the western shore. And the only word he utters— ‘Conowingo’ o'er he mutters— Only this and nothing more.” But his Republican opponents came right back at the governor with the following verse, also a parody on “The Raven': e “And the magpie, ever prattling, Still is chattering, never telling ‘What it knows of Conowingo, ‘Why it outlawed Baltimore, Why the Susquehanna’s power Has become another’s dower— Since 1859 (k THURSDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1926.
