FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1938 Slider * Greneker—1856-1860 $1 PER YEAR OUT AMONG THE PEOPLE S. W. Shealy Elected In Second District ACCORDING TO SPECTATOR Shall the Democrats vote for Republican; or shall Republicans vote for 'a Democrat? Some days ago President Roosevelt expressed indig nation because of rumors that some Republicans voted in the Democratic primaries in the West. What made the President so indignant was that the votes were cast for a Democrat who did not have the President’s bles sing. The President said this was im moral. But within ten days of that indignation comes the president him self expressing a preference for so- called “liberal” Republicans over Democrats, like our “Cotton Ed” Now, is it possible that a liberal is a man who agrees with and supports Mr. Roosevelt? Are all others bad and undesirable men? Again, may I ask whether this country is to be Democratic Republican or Roosevelt? Mr. Roosevelt is so thoroughly con vinced of his own righteousness that he sets himself up as a standard of measurement. Those who disagree with him are bad and should be elimi nated, even though time-honored Democrats; and those who agree with him are the salt of the earth and should be elected, though Republi cans. Logically that permits only one conclusion, namely, that Mr. Roosevelt is above all parties and is the one and only hope of the nation. If we boil this down we find the President’s attitude to be: It is im moral for Republicans to vote for Democrats whom the President does not want; but it is highly moral for Democrats to vote for Republicans whom th e President endorses. There is no other conclusion; if you are 100 per cent Roosevelt you are sound and safe, though a Republican; but if not percent Boosevent you are an old mossback and unworthy, even though, you have been so Democratic all your life that you won’t even speak to a Republican. If the President brings together all negroes, C. I. O.’s, good Republicans, faddists and job hunters he may es tablish the Nation’s Great New Deal, but it won’t be Democracy. In a warmly contested race in the second district for commissioner S. Wilbur Shealy defeated C. B. (Cy) Schumpert by a majority of 175 votes, Mr. Schumpert carried nine of the 24 boxes and Mr, Shealy earned 14. They tied at the Red Knoll precinct 17-17. The total vote in the district was 2641, of which Schumpert re ceived 1183 and Shealy 1358. A few of the precincts polled more votes than in the first primary, 2541 votes hav- ing been cast Tuesday and 2417 in the first primary, an increase of 124 votes.

Tydings jubilantly watched late returns tonight pile up a pcpdlar plurality that indicated a landslide in the state nominating con vention, September 28 when the peo ple's mandat* will be formally rati fied. The spare, Conservative Democrat, seeking re nomination for his third term in th e United States senate against the direct opposition of Presi dent Roosevelt led Representative David J. Lewis in 20 of Maryland’s 23 counties and in four of Baltimore’s six districts, several complete. Overwhelms in Unit Vote On the basis of convention votes, Tydings apparently was assured of 117 to Lewis’ 32, garnered in the First and Sixth Baltimore Districts, and the three westernmost counties of the state, Allegany, where he lives, Washington and Garrett. The Eastern Shore counties, where President Roosevelt visited Labor Day in behalf of Lewis, rejected him in favor of Tydings by almost a 2 to 1 plurality. Late reports from Georgia show the veteran Senator George well in the lead with election assured and former governor Eugene Talmodge running a good second. Lawrence Camp who had the blessing of the president and the aid of New Deal patronage was running a poor third.
