Telephone—Towaon 28ft.______ Published every Saturday at Towwm, Baltimore County, Maryland, by The Baltimore County Jeffersonian Publishing Company, Incorporated. OFFICERS. W. Gill Smith Elmer R.

For Congressman CARVILLE D. BENSON. ___ Sugar is just as sweet if not so dear. The prevailing price for what one buys! seems to be all you've got. It's all over but the shouting in the Presidential campaign, and Harding s doing that. ________^___ The initial mistake was made in the Irish problem when Ireland was located so near to England. The profiteers seem to be laboring under the impression that all of us have Carnegie's ambitions to die poor. The reason the Republicans are so virtuous is probably because money is the root of all evils." Just as soon as the frost is, on the pumpkin the consumer will be expected to pay more for it. Politics this year is about the only thing you can get a stomach full ot at the old rate* __________ A vote for Benson means a vote to have the Second District well represented in Congress. Now don t forget this. _____^^__ The hair-tonic consumers must be the fellows who used to boast that they could either drink or leave it alone. __________ Women of Baltimore county—are vou going to see your negro servants go to the polls and vote, and you remain at home?___________ Eighteen thousand schools failed to open in the United! States last year, but there were more movie theatres running full blast than ever before. It is easier to be critical than correct. This is the policy Price, Watson & Dietz (limited) persue in advocating the new charter. Mexico, Turkey and Russia are the only countries now in the League of Nations besides the United States. Fine company for this great and glorious nation to be in! Now we will witness the spectacle of men who don't know a guest towel from an embroidered napkin trying to tell their wives how to vote on important issues. Former State Senator N. D. R. Allen is opposied to the charter form of government and no doubt before election day will state to the good people of this county, why. When the good people of this county put up their money to build highways it was not as some seem to think, for the purpose of establishing automobile and motorcycle race tracks. Don't fail to register, ladies. Not that we are anxious to know your ages, but to assure yourselves that you may be able to vote for Cox, Smith and Benson, and against the new charter. Mr. Price, of Price, Watson & Dietz (limited), is a busy man nowadays. He purposely attends any and every gathering held in Baltimore county and seeks permission to speak in behalf of the new charter. If practice makes perfect, William Jennings Bryan will have a close second in Mr. Price as the "silver tongued orator." The article which appeared in the last issue of The Jeffersonian relative to Mr. Price's presence at the recent gathering of the W. C. T. U caused indignation among some of the ladi5S-Notwithstanding the fact that Mr. Price was an invited guest we do not feel that a church is the proper place to have open discussions, so to speak, on political issues. To those lad-res who have taken offense at our attitude we offer an apology. Mr. Watson, of Price, Watson & Dietz (limited), in an article published in a recent issue of the Maryland Suffrage News, states that the "organization" did all they could to block the charter proposition, that is, getting the signatures of 5 per cent of the votes to place the proposition on the ballot. Now no one knows any better than Mr. Watson that this is not true, for he well knows any number of signer^ who are a part of the "organization to which he refers affixed their names to the petition. Under the caption "They're Not Officeholders," our contemporary, the Union-News, in an editorial in its last issue said that neither John Watson, Jr., nor Wm. R. Price, president and secretary respectively, of the Taxpayers' League, and strong advocates of the new charter, were office seekers. We can but call the attention of our good friend, the Union-News, to the fact that Mr. Watson was an Independent candidate for Judge few yea^rs ago, while Mr. Price was a canidate for the House of Delegates. The crowd that are back of the charter have been Democrats and Republicans and, not being able to land anything in the way of public office, are advocating a new and radical form of government with the hope of attaining office.

A Senator there is in the Middle West, With a panacea, the very best: For any kind of ill that you may have Take a dose of Harding's Protection Salve. For steel in the eye, or for ingrown nails, The Senator's Protection never fails. For torpid liver, or clot on the brain. Take his Protection and be weli again.

The Harding Protection is sure to cure. If your ports are flooded with Mar's grown wheat, If a farmer limps with corns on his feet, Remember the fate of the one-hoss shay— With Harding's "Protec" it will run today. DALL WORTHINGTON.

"Nov.- that women have been given the vote they should exercise this privilege, not -only as a right, but as a duty," Cardinal Gibbons said to newspaper men. • „..„„ "While I always have been opposted to woman suffrage, because I felt that suffrage would withdraw them from the more delicate and more sacred pursuits of home life," said the Cardinal now that they have been given the vote, I urge upon all of them the exercise of that suffrage, not only as a right, but as a duty. They should exercise that duty intelligently. . "It is their duty, both to register and vote, and especially in the coming presidential election. They should vote for the candidate who will in their opinion contribute best to the material and social progress of the State."

Democratic ticket straight from Dog Catcher to President," she shouted, a'mid laughter and applause. In her peroration she referred again to the, League of Nations; and declared that she would "gladly go to the gallows or cross" if by so doing she could secure its adoption by the United States. She referred to the noble sacrifice the young men of America had made on the fields of France for the purpose of setting the world free from military domination, and s^aid the women of America must not break faith with those young men who made the supreme sacrifice, quoting with telling effect the lines of a now famous poem: * "If you break faith with us who die, We shall not sleep, Though poppies grow in Flanders field." When Mrs. Fuller concluded she received a prolonged demonstration. Mrs. Fuller was followed by Congressman Benson, who made an eloquent appeal for the League of Nations, which he declared was the paramount issue of the campaign. He scored the Republicans for their spirit of "selfishness," and declared that the men who are getting the most out of the people and government are against the Democratic party. He challenged the Republicans to point to a "single piece of constructive legislation" they had enacted since getting control of Congress. In referring to the series of investigations which the Republicans had conducted concerning war expenditures, he said that nothing had up to this time been published, because it was found Republicans did most of the things that weren't just right. Mr. Benson reminded the women that there are more colored Republicans than white in Maryland, and that there are more colored women than colored men, all of whom may be depended upon to regisjter and vote, and that it was up to the white women of Baltimore county to organize at once and by registering and voting help maintain the supremacy of the white race in the State. At Mr. Benson's suggestion, the ladies present elected three of their number as "unofficial" members of the Democratic State Central Committee for Baltimore county, namely: Mrs. N. Charles Burke, chairman. Mrs. Edward F. Anderson. Mrs. David G. Mcintosh, Jr. Following is a partial list of the women from each district appointed to the Baltimore County Women's Democratic Executive Committee.

MARY ELIZABETH KNETZLER, Administratrix. 9-25-4t.* BALTIMORE AMERICAN IN LENGTHY EDITORIALS DENOUNCES NEW SCHEME (Continued from Page 1, Col. 2.) the county council. Taking the registration figures for the county as of September 1, there are five districts, which have 9,109 voters, and ten districts which have 7,805 voters. Those 9,10,9 voters would be represented in the council- by five delegates, and those 7,805 voters would be represented by ten delegates. Assuming, as was customary before woman suffrage, that there is one voter for each five persons of the population, it will be seen that the charter, would giVe five delegates to the council to 45,545 persons, and ten delegates to 39,025 persons;. The group having ten delegates would be 6,520 less- than the group having five delegates. Instead of a board of county commissioners, as at present, each member elected by the whole people and accountable for his official acts to the whole people, the proposed charter would put the business of the county into the hands of fifteen men, two-thirds of whom would have been elected by less than one-half of the people, voting by districts. Could there be a more unjust proposal, and could there be a more unwise one? Or a more reactionary one? What has happened is that the framers of the charter have lightly and thoughtlessly taken as the subdivisions of the county for governmental purposes^ district lines that were never intended to be so used, and that were laid out with regard only to convenience in registering and voting. Why should the people of this county adopt a charter the very foundation provisions of which are unjust and unequal, and therefore insecure? NOTICE.
