DEMOCRATS HOLD PRIMARY
ORGANIZATION FORCES Sue
CEssFUL IN PRINCE GEORGE CO.
Will Have County Convention Next
Tuesday-Spirited Contest in
Bladensburg District.

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
UPPER MARLBORO. Md. May 30. 1905
The organization forces in Prince George
county were successful in the democratic
primary contests today. and will organize
and dominate the proceedings of the
county convention here Tuesday for the
selection of delegates to the state and
congressional conventions. 1t is certain
that no resolutions indorsing any persons
for appointment as Judge to succeed
Judge George c. Merrick when his term
expires in April next will he passed. but
the convention will confine its proceedings
strictly to the objects of the call
All along the impression has prevailed
that the fight today was an effort to
overthrow the organization headed by
Senator William Il. Clagett. chairman OF
the county central committee. and dele
gates who might otherwise have voted for
an Endorsement of Mr.. Fillmore Beall OF
Evansville district within the organization
have decided TO stand neutral on the
proposition. these men not desiring TO
take any step that might be construed
an attempt TO disrupt the plans of the
organization.
In BladensburS District.
The warmest contest in the county took
place In Bladensburg district between L.
Howard Duckett. chairman of the county
board of liquor license commissioners. and
b. d. Stephen. clerk Of the circuit court.
Duckett represented the organization
forces and Stephen wanted a delegation.
II is said. pledged to support resolution
endorsing Beall for the appointment as
judgn.
A total OF ISL votes was cast in this
district. the following delegation being
elected by a majority of 36: T. Howard
Duckett, John r. Risdon. Thomas II.
Mohler. Fred ii. Heller and A. NJ. Law
son. In Surratts district the organiZa-
ton delegation, headed by George W.
Hardy. ex-county clerk. defeated the op-
position by > to vote. In this district
the opposition. it is said attempted to
hold other primaries with one judge. and
will probably send a contes,ing delegation
to Marlboro. In Brandywine district the
anti-organiZation people. headed by 4. T.
Robinson. bolted and held separate pri-
maries There will he a contest from
this district
To sum up the result Oxon HILL Vans
vile and Spaulding districts will send an
Reorganization delegations; there will be
contests from Surratts and Brandywine
districts. and the other twelve districts
will send solid delegations favorable To
the organization. The victory of Senator
William b. Clagett and his friends in
practically unanimous. and il is said to be
certain that the credentials committee will
seat the delegations from Surratts and
Brandywine districts favorable to the or
ganization.

Clean Watches With Bread.

From the American Food Journal
Perhaps the most novel use to which
bread is put may be seen in the great
watch factories at Elgin. H.. where more
than forty loaves Of fresh bread are re-

From the earliest times In the history
of matchmaking II has been the custom of
wa!chma k"rs to reduce fresh bread TO the
form Of dough. This is done by steaminy
and kneading. They then use this dough
for removing oil and chips that natura 'ly

this dough. and the chips stick to II and
there Is no other known substance which
can be used as Il wiper without leaving
some of its particles attached to the

tinued use Of bread dough in the watch
making industry.
