ticaily closed tonight. with each aspirant
In each district confident OF success. This
Is the first election in Mary land in which
a statewide direct-yote primary law has
been In effect. Its success win be meas
ured largely by the number OF people who
participate I'm the selection OF candidates.
In four districts-the third. fourth, fifth
and sixth stirring campaigns have been
waged. No fights will he made I'm the
first and second districts. as both the
democrats and republicans have agreed
upon their candidates. Having no oppo-
sition within their parties, the primaries
are not necessary.
The opposing candidates in these dis
tricts for the general election will be:
f1rstdistrict, James H. Covington, demo-
crat. and A. Lincoln Dryden republican:
second district, j. Fred Talbot. democrat.
and William b. Baker. republican.
Not Possible to Predict.
As far as the other districts are con-
cerned. the fights within one party or
the other make IL impossible to say who
will get the nominations.
Early i'm the campaign there were cries
for hands or I'm Baltimore city as far
as the democratic organization was con-
cerned. Gov. Crothers sounded the call.
John j. Mahon. leader of the democratic
organization. acquiesced I'm IL. Right on
the heels OF the call the governor mani
tested considerable personal activity in
the contest. Friends OF John j. Mahon
followed the same course. Prominent
among these was Frank Kelly. who went
TO work with will for the nomination OF
j. Charles Linthicum In the fourth dis
frfct. As result of the nnrrlliQr
paign outlined by the governor, IL 10
claimed, Representative John GIN was
forced out of the fight. His place was
taken by James II Preston, and George
Stewart Brown and John NJ. Deponai. .
former Washingtonian, got into the race.
Some Of the organization workers are
diveded between Preston, Brown and
Linthicum. Deponai has the support OF
the fraternal and labor element and bust
ness and professional men. All the candi-
dates are striving to secure whatever sup
port is possible in and out OF the organ
ization.
Republican Slate Formed.
The republican organisation in Bali-
more city picked its candidates and start
ed out I'm the fight TO nominate them. IL
is backing Char es w. Main In the third
district and Addison Il. Mullikin in the
fourth district.
The Young Mems Republican Club. once

many years. determined to get back into
the game, with a view OF taking charge
OF the republican forces il possible. The
club got behind Charles j. i. Steiner in
the third district and Alfred J. Schultz
in the fourth district. This contest Is not
supposed to have attracted any general
interest throughout the city.
Some little confusion was created In the
ranks OF the republican organization in
the race Of Representative John kron-
miller, who was slated for its support In
The primaries. Mr.. kronmiller gave as
his reason for Withdrawing the attention
his business demanded.
Democratic Fight in Third.
The third district fight among the demo-
Gratis has been peculiar. inasmuch as the
Efforts OF the units making up the demo-
cratic organization have been concen-
trated mainly on an effort to keep Rob-
ert ]. Padgett from assuming Dictatorship
In its political affairs. He is backing ex-
State Senator James Young for the demo-
cratic nomination for Congress Oppos-
Ing Young in the primaries are George

Each Represents a Faction.
The opposing democratic candidates IN

charles II. Stanley. Both are residents

led with a different faction. Hence the
esult Of the primaries will have an In
