OBJECTIONS RAISED,
Republicans of Prince GEORGES
County Oppose Change of Rules.

Republicans of Prince Georges
County Oppose Change of Rules.
Some feeling has been aroused in Prince
Georges county by the change in the call
there for the republican county primaries
to be held Saturday. The call issued by
the members of the state central committee
for Prince Georges this year confers upon
the men to have charge of the primaries in
the different districts the authority to ap-
point the election judges and clerks at the
polls-three judges and two clerks. 1t is
claimed that by this the voters have moth
ing to say in the selection of candidates,
and that whoever is favored by those in
charge may be made candidates Up to this
year the voters have been allowed to elect
the judges and clerks.
Former Representative Coffin of Mary
land is loud in his denunciation Of the new
rule, claiming 1t gives too much power to
the state central committee.
j. A. Blundon, one of the committee said
to The Star reporter today:
I'VE made the change simply on account
of the trouble which has occurred at the
primaries in the county heretofore, thinking
that by this it would be done away with
Last year there came near being a riot,
and We are determined TO prevent any such
affair again. The change was on this ac-
count alone
In many of the counties the district
judges of the primary are appointed for two
years, but this rule does not apply to Prince
Georges.

DENTAL EXAMINERS REPORT.
Annual Showing of the Board as Made
to Comm, sSioRerS.

to Comm, n,isSiOners.
In the annual report Of the board or
dental examiners, which was submitted
to the Commissioners today, 1t is shown
that certificates emitting to registration
have been issued to twenty-five persons
two of whom passed satisfactory eXamina-
tons, and twenty presenting suf1clcnt eVi-
dence of having graduated from dental
colleges whose graduates are entitled by
law to registration. By these additions
the list of dentists registered in the city
now numbers 800.
In discussing the law governing the sub
ject the report says:
'"rhe efficiency of the law would be ma
terially aided by the occasional assistance
of the detective department. violators and
their abettors having become acquainted
with the methods and the ordinary re-
sources of this board in detecting and pros
ecuting violators of the law. The aver
age degree of qualification to practice den
tistry has been materially raised by the
tests of fitness applied to the one hundred
and fifteen who have commenced practice
slrce the law has been In operation. and
by the dropping out of practice of some of
those incompetentS who were exempt from
test of this qualification by virtue Of
their being in practice at the time of the
enactment of the law. Still, the legal
right to practice is far from moral right
and professional fairness, and needs to
be supplemented by the exercise OF OlS-
eliminating judgment on the part of those
seeking competent service.
THE operation of the dental practice
act. together with the act regulating the
incorporation of medical and dental col
leges. encourages the colleges to protect
the interests of the people in the premises.
and sustains them in attempting to meet
the universal demand of the dental pro-
fession for higher educational standards
and a more fitting professional training Of
their educational products"
