Of August.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
UPPER MARLBORO. July 20, 1905.
The Indications are that the democratic
primaries scheduled for Saturday, August
IL, in Prince George county. will be char
acterized by interesting contests in several
Of the districts. The fact that the county
central committee appointed a full set of
judges and clerks to conduct these prim-
aries Is significant in this connection. Even
IL the difficulties in the family circle" have
been adjusted, the general impression ap-
pears to be that the party will have hard
road to travel to elect its ticket.
In the first place, there are evidences Of
a decided opposition to the proposed con-
stituttonal amendments on the part OF a
large number OF democrats which may ar
feet the result as concerns the election for
members Of the general assembly and the
county offices. Then. too, the republican
orators will call upon their opponents to
explain why the Kenilworth poolroom, To-
Gated in Bladensburg district, was allowed
t. operate without interference on the part
OF the county officials who happen now to
be democrats. and something will also be
said concerning the unequal distribution or
the money available under the Shoemaker
road law to the absolute neglect of the up
per districts of the county, where over two
thirds of the taxes are paid, and where
large proportion Of the voting population
reside.
be against the present organization in the
county, of which George s. Dove Of Spaud-
ings district, candidate for the office of
sheriff. is one Of the chief leaders. Mr.
Dove is deputy sheriff of the county, and
Is practical politician in every sense of
tho word. He has a large following, and
his friends claim 1t will be practically inn
possible to defeat him. Should the organi-
zation forces win, there is no doubt about
the nomination of Mr.. William B. Clagett
OF Marlboro for the office of state senator.
Mr.. J. Enos Ray of Hyattsville and Carter
Lee Bowie Of Queen Anne district, are
slated for positions on the legislative ticket,
while w. H. Owens of Laurel will be one
of the candidates for county commissioner.
