DISPATCHES CRUISER TO BRAZIL Seven Good' Men And What They Stand For (Editorial) In the twenty-three days until the election serious thought should be given to the candidates who are pjn the tickets as the choice of a major- ity of the voters in the recent pri- mary. This is as it should be if the State and county are to have efficient and capable "representation. It should be remembered that a vote is an investment in govern rnent, and that voting means far more than merely making marks af- ter the names that appear on the ballot. The importance of voting should appeal to the intelligence and -conscience of the voter, and by the same token consideration given to the candidates, who they are, what they stand for and what they have accomplished.

Among the most important groups on the ballot this year are the State Senator and the House of Delegates. The men who will be elected from Washington county to represent its citizens at Annapolis should meas- ure up to the standard in personal- ity, ability, and honesty of purpose and possess such other qualifica- tions and influence as will enable then to capably and faithfully serve their constituents. In this connection attention is called to the grouping of the Demo- cratic candidates for State Senator Slaying Of Cop Is Undoing Of 2 Youths IDENTIFIED AS and the House of Delegates on page 12 of the Daily Mail today with brief biographies of each candidate and tne platform on which they stand.
