MARYLAND POLITICS
ACTIVITY IN THE RANKS OF BOTH
PARTIES.
Primaries to Be Held in Prince
George County About
August Is.
Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star.

Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
UPPER MARLBORO, Md, July 80. 1903.
Only a few days remain between this and
the time set for the primaries of both the
political parties. The conventions will be
held al this place about the middle of next
month. During the few remaining days of
the campaign for delegates to the two
conventions the politicians are hard at
| work. States are being arranged. but some
of them may be broken. Interest of the
residents of the county certers in the Of
fees sheriff and states attorney. al
though every effort will be made to elect
the delegates to the legislature. as they will
vote for the successor to Senator McComas.
The large majority of residents Of the
county are more interested in the welfare
of the county than they are in the United
States Senatorship. Concerning the office
of sheriff the Hyattesville Independent has
| had something to say in its recent issues.
In an editorial printed in the last issue
of the paper the subject was referred to as
| follows:
There Is a general sentiment among the
| more conservative element of Prince
Georges county citizens that the next
sheriff shall be man not in any manner
identified with the liquor interests of The
county. The Independent is not an anti
| saloon organ: we have never taken such an
extreme view of the liquor traffic, and
sistent in our claim that the liquor men OF
| the county have as much right to obey the
law as any body else.
Against Public Policy.
1.-THE election of a man to the office OF
sheriff who is interested in the liquor bust
ness is plainly antagonistic to any effort to
have the law relative to the sale of intoX-
icants enforced and. aside from this. 1t is
clearly against public policy. We have
heard of a prominent democrat in the
county who Is an aspirant for the demo-
cratic nomination for sheriffalty who also
conducts a saloon in his district We be-
ueve that the party who dominates such a
man for the office will have cause to re-
greet it. The people of Prince Georges
county are thoroughly disguised as the re-
suit of open and fragrant violations of law
by certain liquor sellers in the county who
are apparently immune from any prosecu-
ton on the part of those charged with see
ing that the law Is enforced. The party
who nominateS a man for sheriff who is
engaged in any manner. In the EGuof
traffic is going to be defeated so far as
that office is concerned, II the Independent
can in any manner bring about such re-
suit
1t is charged that some persons In VIZ
ginia are showing their hands In the cam
paign so far as the sheriff is concerned
This. it is stated is one of the results or
the fight made on the Wildwood pool room
in which certain Virginia gamblers are al
tn HaV active
