POLITICAL FORECAST.
Evidence That Republicans Are Unit
ed in Prince George County.
Special Correspondence Of The Star.
UPPER MARLBORO, Md,

September Is. 1905.
Republicans throughout the county are
attaching much significance to the state
ment that Representative Sydney E. Mudd
and ex-County Treasurer Richard N. Ryon
of Prince George county were guests of
honor at banquet given by the Elks in
Annapolis Wednesday evening of this week,
and declare that the strained relations that
have existed between these two men for
several years are at end. 1t is also be-
lieved that, in the future, the republicans
of this county will present a solid front to
the common enemy.
The meeting of Mr.. Mudd and the ex-
treasurer recalls to the mind Of county
politicians the bitter primary fight that took
place in the summer of 1900 between the
friends OF Mr. Mudd and Senator Louis E.
McComas for control Of the county, when
