STATE NOMINEE IN
One Set OF Republican Candidates
And Two OF Democrats Are
Filed For Primary.
NO REPUBLICAN FIGHT.
G. o. P. Candidates Are UnOpposed
And viii Not Go On Primary
Ticket.

With the passing of yesterday, the
I complete list of aspirants for nomi
nation to State Offices on the Repub-
llcan and the Democratic tickets in
the primary election of August 90.
was made up, and today the names
of those who would be the partv's
standard bearers are all in.
The last name to be filed in the
office of the local supervisors was that
of William S. Evans, of Cecil county.
who will be the running mate of Sena-
tor Lee for the Democratic nomina-
tion as Comptroller. The full list of
names filed for the State offices with
the supervisors is
For Democratic gubernatorial nomi-
nation-Senators Arthur P. German
and Blair Lee.
For Democratic Comptroller Nomi-
nation-Emerson C. Harrington and
William S. Evans.
For Democratic Nomination as At
torney General-Edgar Allen Poe.
For Republican Gubernatorial Nomi-
nation-Phillips Lee Goldsborough.
For Republican Nomination as Comp
troller-John H. Cunningham.
For Republican Nomination as At
torney General-Morris A. Soper.
AS there is but one set of Repub-
lican candidates for the State offices.
and there is no contest, these gen
tlemen will not have to 90 into the
primary or have their names placed on
the ballot. Instead they will simply
be issued certificates of nomination,
and they and the Offices for which
they are running will be left off the
tickets. The same procedure will be
followed in the case of Mr.. Poe, who
is the unopposed candidate of the
Democrats for the Attorney General
ship.
The fight between Senator German,
with Mr.. Harrington as his running
mate, and Senator Lee, with Mr..
Evans, is warming up, but, from all
indications, bids fair to be clean,
sportsmanlike contest which, when
over, will leave no bad scars to be
healed in the general election cam
paign. The Howard county man is
gaining steadily, and while it is con-
ceded that Senator Lee will make a
good run, the wise dopsters see in the
handwriting on the wall a safe ma
jority for Senator German on the first
ballot in the State Convention. The
impression is steadily growing that
when the final showdown comes, Sena-
tor German will be every whit as easy
for the Democrats to elect as his op-
ponent from Montgomery county.
Tho an1orcopoopf of Co-o4o~
for Senator Lees candidacy today,
with its sportsmanlike statement that
the Senior Senator from Maryland
will fall in line and support German,
if German wins the nomination made
favorable impression wherever read,
and with the indications of a unifica-
tion of the party after the primary
little fear is felt of the ability of the
Democrats to defeat Goldsborough as
handily with German as with Lee.
The Anne Arundel county local sit
uation continues to show sentiment
in favor of Joseph H. Bells for the
State Senate, and the victory of the
whole organization ticket for the coun-
ty offices. Most of the aspirants for
county nominations are now in on the
Democratic ticket, and interest is be-
ginning to be felt in what the Repub-
licans are going to do in this connec-
tion. There has been much talk of
naming "bob-tail" tickets in all of
the Wilson-law counties, and this was
looked for in Anne Arundel.
However, it is understood that the
local G. o. P. machine is having trou-
bic in getting out any sort of timber
to run for the Senate and House. 1t
can be said that number of promi-
nent Republicans of high standing in
the community who would have made
good candidates for the Senate, have
been approached, but would have none
of the nomination. Practically the
same situation is said to exist in re-
gard to the House of Delegates, and
it seems likely that the Republicans
will have absolutely no local ticket or
at best very weak one. The certi-
ficates of candidacy for these local
Offices must all be fled by Saturday
