The democratic primary elections In this
section Of county, at Barnesville, Clarks-
burg, Poolesville. Damascus and Darnes-
town, were comparatively quiet. though
a great deal of interest was taken

Robert B. Peter. who won over H.
Maurice Talbot by over one thou
sand votes and in the contest for sheriff
between Samuel D. Walters and Arthur Will
uams who won by 149 votes This section
Of county elected their four candidates for
different off1ces-Arthur Williams Of Daw-
sonville, near Boyd's, for sheriff; John w.
Williams Of Boyds for house Of delegates
and Jos. T. White of Boyd's for judge of
orphans court and Remus R. Darby Of
Buck Lodge. near Boyd's. for judge Of or
phans' court The vote of young Williams

Republican County Convention.

ROCKVILLE. Md. August ., 1908.
The republican state central and county
committees for Montgomery county met
here Friday afternoon and fixed upon Mon
day, August II, as the date for holding the
county convention to nominate candidates
for the various offices to be filled this fall.
The district primaries to select delegates to
the county convention and to choose district
committees will be held the preceding
Saturday, 1t is not believed that there will
be any contests for the nominations. and
the convention promises to be of the
most harmonious held by the party in this
county for years.
There are indications. however, of de-
cdediy lively fight for the chairma nship of
the county committee. Mr. Willis B. Bur
dette of Rockville Is an avowed aspirant
for this position and is being earnestly sup
ported by a large number of friends
throughout the county. Mr.. Charles +.
Kirk of Olney is also being urged as suit
able man for the position but Mr.. Kirk has
stated that he does not aspire to the honor
At the meeting Friday there was a senti-
ment in favor of third party, and the
name of Mr.. Peyton Gordon of GaitherSburg
was most frequently heard as compro-
mise. Mr.. Burdette, however, proposes to
stay in the field and his chances of winning
out are regarded good
The general sentiment among those pres
ent at the meeting was that in view OF the
bitter primary contest conducted by the
democrats the chances of republican success
in the county this fall are excellent.

DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES.
Returns From the Elections in Mont
gomery County.
noudence Of The Evening Star,

Specal Correspondence of The Evening Star.
ROCKVILLE. Md. August 2, 1903.
The returns from the democratic primary
election, held yesterday throughout Mont
pomery county show the following candi-
dates to have been succesSful For gov
ernor, Spencer c. Jones; for chief judge of
the sixth judicial circuit James McSherry;
for states attorney. Robert B. Peter for
sheriff. Arthur Williams: for clerk of the
circuit court John l.. Brunett: for register
of wills II. Clinton Allnutt: for county sur
delepatcs John w. Williams. Edmund l..
Amiss. Walter A. Johnston and Benjamin
F. Lansdale; for judges of the orphans
court William T. Wheeler. Remus r. Oar
by and Joseph I. White: for county COM
missioner from the third collection district,
Charles G. Griffith: for county commits
sioner from the fourth collection district.
John Hilleary Bogley.
Quoted by the friends of Mr. Edwin War
field. Colonel Spencer c. Jones was hand
somely indorsed for the gubernatorial NOM
nation. every district but Laytonsville and
Olney declaring for him. his popular ma
tOrity being 1914. Colonel Jones made no
fight in any of the districts and his sweep
ing victory under the circumstances was a
high compliment. Judge James McSherry,
who asked for the countys Endorsement for
denomination. was unopposed. as were H.
Clinton Allnutt for register OF wills, and
Charles ]. Maddox for county surveyor.
The results Of some of the other contests
were rather surprising in their decisiveness.
1t was a foregone conclusion long before
election day that Mr. Robert B. Peter
would prove an easy winner over Mr. H.
Maurice Talbot in their fight for the nomi-
nation for states attorney, but few had
any idea that his victory would prove 80
sweeping. He carried every district but
Damascus and Wheaton and rolled up a
popular majority Of LOIS. The contest for
the nomination for clerk Of the circuit court
was even more one-sided. There was all
along but one opinion regarding the out
come Of this fight. and that was that Mr..
John L. Brunett would land the prize with
out difficulty. This proved to be the case,
every district but Barnesville the home Of
Candidate Thomas o. White. being carried
by him. his plurality footing up 1915 Mr..
Brunetts vote exceeded the combined vote
of his opponents-Messrs Thomas o. White
and Joseph Reading-by 1894.
Aswas expected. the contest for the shriev-
atty nomination was close. OF the four
candidates in the field only Messrs. Ar
thur Williams and Samuel D. Waters were
considered possibilities. The fight between
these two was hot one from start to fin
ish, and every point was taken advantage
of. Mr.. Williams was returned the winner
