The Daily Mail from Hagerstown, Maryland • Page 12

TWELVE THE DAILY MAIL, HAGERSTOWN, FRIDAY, AUGUST 30, 1940. Governor Permitted To Suspend Election Laws To Allow Vote By Mail Getting Breaks Members of Company expecting a call lor a year's training next month, have been wondering if they be allowed to vote in the November election. They will as well as any conscripts that mighx be called between now and November, under a (Continued trom Pasre l) skilled workers, from clerks and bookkeepers to former business executives whose age is a But, Fringer said, "even they will benefit if production and employment climb higher. Defense needs are a stimulus generating a whole cycle of more goods and more jobs all down the line. The white-collar man is the first to go, and last to come back." Shortages in such lines as machinists, shipfitters, boilermakers have extended the employment call.

HOUSE CHIEFS SEE 2-1 OKAY OFDRAFTBILL ave ex program announced by Governor demands for such cleri- X. 1 a. C7 Herbert R. O'Conor. The governor has announced that he will take car workers are male steuograph- i er indicate still broader extension whatever action is necessary to pro-1 man chance tect the voting rights and Prm- or leges of all Marylanders who may lu be called away from their homes i-eoera before the November 5 election by the National Guard mobilization or the still-pending draft bill.

He has asked the State Law Department to advise him on the proper steps and to prepare the proclamation which, under the law, the have been raised to 02 years for certain types of skilled workers such as machinists, Fringer added. His statewide employment service figures indicate a growth in jobs since the defense program started. In seven months of. 1939. governor must issue to ctange the 1 election statutes in time of military emergency.

"The law states definitely that members of, the National Guard and the Naval Militia may be permitted to vote by mail when called up for'duty but it is not. specific as to whether this would include civilians called for emergency training. It, is especially regard to the; of the law' 'concerning con-' scriptees that the governor has asked for clarification. Maryland is one of the states that does not permit its citizens to Vote by mail tinder ordinary circumstances. However, the law contains a special section that permits the governor by proclamation to suspend operation of the election laws of the state.

Absentee Provisions Republicans governing absentee Toting arrangements are then set lorth. One section says: "At any time not more than forty-five days befox-e the holding of any election, such person expects to be absent on election day.may make application in to the Board of Supervisors of Elections of the county of Baltimore city, in which he resides, for a ballot "Such applications must be received by the Supervisors of Elections not less than seven days before the holding of any election, and shall contain the full name and place of residence from which is registered, and the address to which the ballot is to bo mailed to him. "The application shall also state the position or rank in the military or naval service which the applicant holds." Other Regulations The law also sets forth regulations by which mail ballots, especially marked, shall be sent, to the absent voter, who must fill out the ballot in accordance with specific instructions and send It in, In the present case, it is possible that many of the Maryland trainees will be close to home on election day and may therefore be able to vote as usual. In the event that large numbers of men are unable to vote from their legal residences, it is expected that Army and National Guard officials will set up temporary "bureaus" where the men can have their absentee voting handled with dispatch. vate jobs, but 22,485 were found jobs in the same months of 1940.

Public placements in the 1939 period numbered 3.374, but totaled only 2,641, in seven months this year. This shows a decrease in government work jobs brought about by more industrial and business employment, Fringer explained.

Adv. (Continued from Pago 1) Arends Sharer Martin ElsUm and Harness It was re-, 'ported that at least one more coin- mitteeman was expected to sign. Both Republican and Democratic however, were saying that the legislation would win by a smashing margin before another week passed. "The House bill will be passed by two to one in my judgment," said Democratic leader Rayburn of Texas. While waiting for the debate to start, the House.first had to dispose of Senate amendments to the 133.G28.277 defense appropriation bill carrying funds to start construction of 200 warships for a "two ocean" navy and more than 14.000 airplanes.

The Senate in a speedy performance yesterday, completed consideration of the bill in a single day. Senator Lundeen. (F.L.- Mimi.) raised the only voice against passage. The Senate changes, among other things, would appropriate $100,000,000 for housing for defense workers. $13,065.000 for improvements at nine naval yards and training stations and an in-crease of 510,000.000 for naval There was a possibility that the Senate changes might be accepted or the bill sent to conference today, because loaders arranged to House sessions over the Labor Day holiday.

President Roosevelt has asked haste ou the bill, so that the planes and other defense equipment it provides for can be ordered without further delay. In getting ready for the Burke- Wadsworth bill debate, neither party planned a poll of its members, as is customary before votes on major legislation. The Democrats said sentiment on their side of the aisle was overwhelm jug; Republicans said that "it is not a party mutter; it will be every man for his own ideas." The decisive Senate vote for conscription Wednesday and final House committee action yesterday set the stage for Chairman May of the committee to go before the House Rules Committee, with full administration support, to ask legislative right-of-way on the floor for the controversial measure. May said ho would ask for procedure permitting two days of general debate on the whole question that a total of, tour days would be required in all. Rayburn said only that "it will bo passed next week." 54 YEARS AS RAILROADMAN Ed McClannahan, Formerly Of County, Retires In Texas.
