CUMBERLAND, Md, July 27-Mr. IIoyd
L,owndes won in the republican primaries
for the control Of the delegation to the state
convention and for the naming Of new
state central committee. Lowndes carried
three of the four Frostburg districts, Mid
land. Barton, Westernport, Rawlings.
Mount Savage Midlothian and the three
largest districts in Cumberland.
Some of the politicians say that the re-
suit tonight will seriously hamper the fu-
ture political prospects of Col. Pearre, who
heads the organization. The Pearre people
say that as far aiding Mr. Lowndes'
congressional aspirations are concerned
that the result tonight is without effect.
Should MIR. Lowndes carry the county
next year they contend he would have
rough sailing. for the four other counties
in the district would combine against Allie
gany county, which already has had a rep
resentative in Congress for five terms.
The Lowndes people say they are not
alarmed over such situation should it
arise. The organization ticket tonight was
headed by Col. Pearre for governor. The
Lowndes people attacked the sincerity Of
Col Pea-re In heading his tickets thus, de-
claring that he simply wanted to carry the
organization through on his personality.
