AS the nominating day approaches,
members OF the party show an increased
interest in the personnel OF the ticker

ing brought forward as suitable material
from which to select the different nomi-
feeS.
That Hammond Timer of Frederick
county will be the unanimous choice %
Montgomery county republicans for the
nomination of chief judge Of this circuit
has long been a foregone conclusion. and
that he will be named by reclamation by
the convention to meet here September

cation that the action of the party il
selecting candidates for the other offices
to be filled will also be harmonious.

The friends OF County Chairman Nor
timer O. Stabler of Spencerville are OF
