Can you imagine an Association freer from partisan bias and political intrigue? This Association is very anxious to have the advantages of objections to the proposed charter explained to its members so that they can decide what is for the best interests of the county. The last meeting of the League on June 1st was called for the special purpose of discussing this charter, at which time those opposing the charter were very ably represiented by Senator David G. Mcintosh, and your son, Mr. Edward H. Burke, Counsel to the County Commissioners. After the matter had been very thoroughly and fully discussed at that meeting the members present voted unanimously to recommend the adoption of this charter, but if there is» any reason why this charter should not be adopted this action can be reviewed and re-considered at the next meeting. From yotfr letter I take it that you are very much interested in this matter and I hope that you will honor us with your presence at the next meeting on August 3rd. Will you kindly let me know as promptly as possible whether you will be there so that I may mention it in my notices! of the next meeting that you will present your views regarding the charter? Very truly yours, WILLIAM Ri. PRICEI. In answer to the above letter from the Taxpayers' League, Judge Burke sent the following open letter, addressed to the Secretary of tftat organization: -* Towson, Md., July 9, 1920. Mr. William R. Price, My -dear Sir: In the letter to which you refer, I called attention to the voters of Baltimore county to the importance of their understanding fully the scope and effect of the proposed Charter upon which they will be called to vote at the approaching election. A careful, and, I think, an impartial examination of its provisions will result in its re~-jection. I expressed the opinion, after a careful consideration of all its provisions, that it should be disapproved by the voters: 1. Because there is no necessity for the adoption of this new plan of government. , 2. Because its practical operation, as a system of government, will not. be satisfactory to our people. 3. Because it will result in the useless multiplication of offices and increased taxation. 4. Because it will not produce efficient County administration. 5. Because it attempts to confer powers, without warrant of law, upon individual officials and THE COUNTY COUNCIL*, and that, this would lead to disputes and confusion in the administration of County affairs and to protracted and expensive •litigation. I stated that. I felt :¦; to be of the utmost importance to the people of the County, especially to the tax payers. that a non-partisan association should be formed through which the provisions of this Charter might tie explained and discussed before the voters of the County, and the objections to it fully and clearly stated before they should be called upon to pass judgment upon it. It is, I am quite sure, apparent to every one who read the communication that the non-partisan association to which I referred, should be one whose membership was in accord with my own views respecting the charter, and should, by explanation and discussion of its provisions before the voters, seek to defeat. Such an association is now being formed, and through it and through the medium of the county press the grounds upon which the above stated objections and others to the adoption of the charter rest will be brought home to the voters. I prefer to avail myself of this method of procedure to defeat this attempt to impose upon the county a plan of government which, in my judgment, would result in great injury to the voters and taxpayers generally rather than the one suggested by you. I prefer to take the question direct to the voters. The Taxpayers' League, you say, is composed of about seven hundred members. I know a number of its members who are not in favor of this charter, and I am convinced that when its full scope and operation are fully understood, the great majority will be against it. You say that at the meeting of the League held on June 1st, the members present, after a very thorough and full discussion, "voted unanimously to recommend the adoption of this charter." I am informed that there was not over thirty-five people present at that meeting, and that the vote for the adoption of the charter was not unanimous. Such members of the League, however, as are in favor of this Charter, and especially those who have been active in its support must prepare to defend it before the voters, because it is going to be vigorously assailed. Very truly yours, N. CHARLES BURKE. MET THURSDAY (Continued from Page 1) will continue the good work that he has begun; therefore, Be it resolved, that we, the Rural Life Club of the Sixth District of Baltimore County hereby congratulate Professor Cooper upon his appointment and wish him every success in his enlarged sphere of activity, that we pledge him our wholehearted support and whenever possible our assistance; and, Be it further resolved, that we commend the sagacity of the Board of School Commissioners' in selecting Professor Cooper to continue the work established by his able predecessor, Professor Albert S. Cook. Next the matter of having a Club Exhibit at Timonium fair was taken up and disposed of in the affirmative. A committee consisting of Berges T. Brown, chairman; Harry B. Hoshall, Walter Sparks, Mrs;. Harvey None-maker and Mrs. John Gore was appointed to plan and execute this exhibit. It was also decided that we should conduct a "Roads Exhibit.' at the fair and to this end a committee consisting of Bergen T. Brown, chairman; Rev. J. J. Resh and J. H. Hale was appointed. , Augusjt 14th was set as the day for the annual Rural Life Club Picnic. Bergen T. Brown was named to take charge of the advertising of the picnic, the committees in charge of other departments to be named later. On the motion of Mrs. Harvey None-maker a committee with Mrs. None-maker in the chair, was appointed to perfect plans for cleaning up and restoring the old Union Cemetery at Eklo. There being no one or no church directly responsible for the upkeep of this cemetery it has fallen into very bad condition through neglect. it waa| decided also that either a singing school or else simply singing meetings would soon be instituted by the olub and we believe that a committee was appointed to formulate plans for conducting this enterprise, but if there was the names of the committee members have slipped our memory. The club adjourned to meet in a special meeting on 'July 29th. JAMES M. COX, OF OHIO, NOMINATED BY DEMOCRATS AS PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE. (Continued from Page 1) elected, would enforce the prohobition amendment to the letter and all laws made in harmony therewith. As to the League of Nations, he has not yet spoken. That he favors it and would ratify the treaty without impairing its integrity, as is so eloquently promised by the platform upon which he is to stand, is to be assumed as a matter of course. By reason of his complete detachment from the Administration he will escape responsibility for its errors and is under no obligation to defend them. This, however, will not excuse lukewarmness on his part toward the splendid achievements of that Administration and the high aims that it has kept fever in view. NEW YORK TIMES— The Democrats enter the campaign with a candidate worthy of the rioble and compelling cause which they are resolved shall triumph through thehir victory at the polls. Their platform, their purpose, their candidate are in harmony. They seek good government and sound administration at home and such an advance toward the moral regeneration of the world as may be attained by the efforts of brave and sincere men unselfishly devoted to the principles they profess. The Democratic party enters upon no defensive campaign. Defense, apology, palliation, all this falls to the lot of the Republicans. The Democrats are powerfully armed in the simple justice of their cause. In the nomination 06 Governor Cox they have a uniting candidacy. By every circumstance of preparation and organization they are equipped for the combat. They will joy in the fight and are vastly more confident of triumph than it could have been predicted three months ago that they would be. Congressman Carville D. Benson, of Baltimore county, who was highly elated over Governor Cox's nomination, on Tuesday gave out the following interview: "Governor Cox has been my choice for the nomination for President from the beginning, and I believe he is the strongest man that the convention could have nominated. My reason for so thinking is because he has three times carried the Gubernatorial election in Ohio, which is a Republican State. The secret of his popularity and strength is the fact that he knows how to deal with people. He has handled all the labor troubles in the great State of Ohio without once resorting to the use of soldiers to quell labor disturbances. Business interests and labor interests both respect and trust him. He has judgment and tact, and the capacity to recognize Wljat is fair to both labor and capital, and has been successful in having his judgment accepted because both' labor and capital believe in his fairness and good judgment. During his administration as" Governor of Ohio that State has adopted more constructive legislation than during any other period in its history and it has received the general approval of the public. The fact that he has been thrice elected chief executive of the State is sufficient evidence of .that. "Mr. Roosevelt, the nominee for Vice-President, was one of the most valuable, if not the most valuable of the men who rendered a never-to-be-forgotten service during the recent war. The excellent record of the American Navy in convoying troops and supplies to Europe, with practically no loss of life, was due largely to the work of Mr. Roosevel as First Assistant Secretary of the Department of the Navy. He is a young man of ability, very ¦courteous, and a thorough Democrat. "In Cdx and Roosevelt we have a atrong ticket running on a strong platform. We are assured of an aggressive campaign with able leadership, and every prospect of continued prosperity under an holiest and efficient Democratic Alministration." In nominating Cox and Roosevelt the Democrats, according to a preponderance of sentiment throughout the country, have made the best possible selections. Both are comparatively young men, now in the vigor of their manhood, with splendid records of achievement to their credit. They are men of ability and force, capable of grappling with the great national problems of the day, who may be depended upon, if elected, to give the country the very best kind of an administration.
