Little interest was taken in the
Republican primaries held all
through Washington county last

An interested observer at the
polls in Rockville District at last

sentative of the government sent
out to watch the operations of
certain Federal office holders to
determine whether they were
guilty of "pernicious activity"
AS there were such officials
decidedly active in endeavoring
to secure votes, 1t Is taken for
granted that report to that eff
feet will be made to the proper
department. aud the develop
ment' are awaited with interest.
