For Congressman
CARVILLE D. BENSON.
MR. APPLEBY'S FOUL, PLAY.
In a speech delivered Tuesday night before the Liberty Defense Ljeague, ..Baltimore City, Congressman Carville D. Benson, in commenting upon the candidacy of Samuel C. Appleby, self-styled Independent candidate for Congress, said:
¦"I want to siay to you in all sincerity: When a man under our fair primary election laws, enters a contest and forces the people of this State to pay the cost of a primary, when he puts out cards saying that he is running as a candidate subject to the Democratic primaries, and when he is defeated, not by a close vote, but by a decisive majority, when that man refuses to support the man who defeated him, then I say that man hasn't any sense of political honor and he doesn't deserve the vote of any sqare man in either party.
"If you do not want to support me," continued Mr. Benson, "support Mr. Blakeney. Give him the whole of a vote, not half a vote. If you want to defeat me, do it in a straightforward manner by voting for my opponent, who is fighting me like a man and who has a chance to win. Don't try to defeat me by indirection, by .voting for a man who has no chance in the world of winning."
Men of all political creeds in Baltimore county will, we feel sure, commend Congressman Benson for his attack on Mr. Appleby. No matter what party a man belongs to, he likes to see fair play. Mr Appleby is now attempting a very foul play. Having entered the Democratic primaries as a candidate for Congress, with no hope in the world of success, and with no other object in view than to bring about the defeat of the man who, if he were the right kind of a sportsman, he would now have his coat off trying to elect. Such a political game is revolting to all ¦good citizens, and now that he has been exposed we doubt that Mr. Appleby will be able to muster a "corporal's guard" in this Congressional district.
Congressman Benson may have his faults, as do all men, but no one can justly accuse him of ever having "fouled" a political opponent. He has always played the political game according to the well established rules and customs, and if Mr. Appleby had been chosen the party's nominee he would have no more loyal supporter today than the genial Congressman.
The Jeffersonian, therefore, appeals to Mr. Appleby's friends (if he has any left) to now do unto Mr. Benson as they would have expected Mr. Benson's friends tn do unto Mr. Appleby, if the friends to do unto Mr. Appleby, if the the reverse of what they were. No real Democrat would do otherwise.
(Continued from Page 1)
will have to sit approximately 176 days if it discharges all the duties: imposed upon it by the charter.
Major Barton is clearly wrong in his contention. The Council is obliged, under the Charter, to sit 26 days in December of each year, as a lawmaking body, but lawmaking constitutes only a small part of the numerous duties imposed upon the Council, and there is absolutely no limit fixed in the charter as to the number of days the Council may sit to discharge these numerous other duties. Judge Burke contends that the Council, in order to properly discharge the duties imposed upon it by the charter, will be obliged to meet about as often as the County Commiss|ioners now meet, that is, 150 days in a year, and in making this contention he would seem to be right. Nowhere in the Grant of Powers from the Legislature is the County Manager mentioned. No powers whatever are reposed in him. All the powers granted are reposed in the Council, and it is difficult to see how the Council can exercise these powersi without holding regular weekly meetings. It will not do for the councilmen to simply fbld their hands and leave the government of the county to the County Manager and his department heads. Suppose the County Commissioners, for instance, who are now clothed with exclusive governmental powers in the county, should decide to hire' a "manager" to run the county for them. The idea would be ridiculous, and yet that is exactly what Major Barton evidently thinks the County Council will do.
Another thing. The several districts in the county may not send "rascals" to the Council, as Major Barton suggests, nor politicians, yet they are apt to be ordinary human beings, and the disposition of ordinary human beings is to get together just as often as the law permits tn exercise political powers, especially when they are assured of getting at least $5 a day and "traveling expenses" every time they meet. So no one is disposed to take seriously the Major's contention that the council will meet only 26 days. There is nothing in the Charter to prevent the Council from meeting every day, if it should see fit to do so. and as the Councilmen are to be paid so much per diem, instead of so much per year, they may be expected, as human beings to meet as often as the proper discharge of their duties should require, and in all probability they would meet at least three days a week, as Judge Burke contends. And every day the Council meets the county will be put to an expense of at least $100 for salaries and traveling expenses.
The contention of Judge Burke that the office of County Commissioner will not be abolished upon the adoption of the charter is a legal question upon which there has been some difference of • opinion among lawyers, but the reasons which the Judge gives for his contention seems to be sound andJ convincing, and certainly no man in Maryland is better qualified to give a correct opinion on the question than he. At any rate, it is a question that will ultimately be decided by the courts, in the event of the adoption of the charter, thus creating unnecessary confusion and expense in the administration of county affairs.

(Continued from P/,ge 1) the support not only of independent voters, but of Republican voters as well who want to see the peace treaty ratified and the League of Nations established. His election means the ratification of the treaty and America's entrance into the League of Nations. The election of Senator Harding means that the peace treaty will not be ratified and that the United States will not enter the League of Nations. We need not inquire what reservations will be attached to the treaty. It is; sufficient to know that such reserva— tions will be attached as will carry out the will of the American people and win enough votes in the Senate to make ratification possible and that these reservations will not destroy the vitality of the league covenant.
"There is another reason why the election of Cox should appeal to the independent voter. It ia because if elected President of the United States he will be President and exercise the powers of President given him by the Constitution and by acts of Congress. On the other hand, Senator Harding has frankly said that if elected President the powers of government are to be under the control of the Republican party which means, of course, the bosses in the Republican party who have no responsibility. There are in the United States many hundreds of thousands of independent voters who can hardly be classified as members of any party, and they can hardly be willing to turn the Government of the United States over to an oligarchy controlled and directed largely by a few party bosses. The American voters when they elect a man to office desire to hold him personally responsible for the exercise of its powers and duties and not to have him abdicate those powers to party leaders or party caucuses.
"The American people have not yet quite forgotten the time when a certain former President of the United States was described as 'a large body entirely surrounded by a group of men who knew exactly what they wanted.' "

these disabled men with a'n impatient, "Oh, hell!" r
The principal complaint the American Legion makes, however,, is that Senator Warren is the author of a "joker" in the form of an amendment to the Darrow bill for the benefit of disabled men who are obliged to learn new vocations before they can earn an independnt livelihood. Among other things, the Darrow bill provided for a fiat increase of $20 a month to these men, then receiving only $80 a month, with which to meet the high living cost.
The amendment of seventeen words provided that the increase should go to only those men "residing in congested centers of population where maintenance and support is above the average and comparatively high."This "was included at his instance and insistence," the article says of Senator Warren. With the passing of this amendment, it became necessary for the Vocational Board having these men and the expenditure of this money in charge, to aunch a campaign to find out in what communities this discrimination should be applied, resulting in months of delay in meeting the necessities of these needy soldiers.
The article reads:
"They have placed upon the Federal Board of Vovational Training a responsibility of interpretation and a new burden of administration which cannot but seriously hamper its work. They have denied to thousands of disabled veterans a fair increase in the allowance given them by their Government. .They have caused delays of weeks in the payment of these increased allowances tn the men who are granted them by the law. They have hurled a wrench into the whole vocational training system, with the result that the heartbreaking distresses that have marked America's treatment of her wounded for the past two yearsi will be continued for many months to come. And this just as the agencies concerning themselves with the care of the wounded men were beginning to breathe easy in the belief that most of the difficulties they had been meeting were passed." ,
