Upper Marlboro, July 1.-The selection
of candidates for the various Offices in
Prince George County this summer under
| the direct primary system makes a pre-
diction as to the probable nominees prac-
tically OF little value. as the execution Of
| the law will be in the nature Of an ex-
pertinent.
Several months ago the organization
and anti-organization forces Of the Dem
| ocratic party held several conferences and
practically agreed upon certain candi-
dates back Of whom they proposed to get
during the primaries. The conferees were
for the most part, the same politicians
who have been dominating the affairs Of
Prince George County for the past twenty
years.
Less than four years ago, the leaders
In the so-called anti-organization forces
comprised the organization. They lost
control, and at this time are striving to
GUST the organization and again get in
harness.
The organization people are, Of course,
making fight to retain power and there
by have the distribution Of whatever
State patronage comes to Prince George
County.
The majority Of the members of the
board of county commissioners are anti
organization men, and the organization
forces will, 1t is understood, attempt to
show to the people that the organization
is not responsible for the increased rate
OF taxation '
The conference in HyattsviIle on July
Is to be composed Of organization men,
and some hot shots are being prepared for
the anti-organization people. Over 1,0oo
invitations have been sent out for this
conference, and o luncheon Is to be
served.
Most Of the aspirants for ONCE are iden-
titled with either one or the other fac
tIon. There are exceptions to this rule,
however. Fred Binger, Of Queen Anne
district, announces that he is a candi-
date for sheriff, and is being backed by
neither OF the factions. Edward A. Full
Ter, of Hyattsville, is in the same box,
and declares that he would not accept
the Endorsement OF either faction II ten
dered him. He is candidate for the
nomination for county treasurer. The
organization is supporting DR.. Louis A.
Griffith, OF Upper Marlboro. and the
"antis'' are back Of Richard J. Swami,
of Spaulding district. Richard whiteley,
of HyattsvilIe; Benjamin F. Hoffman, OF
Chillum, and Jackson H Ralston, Of
Hyattsville, are understood to be csndi-
dates for the house Of delegates who have
not received the Endorsement Of either
faction.
The general impression prevails In
Prince George County that the Republi-
can leaders will strongly urge the placing
OF only the names of State officers on
the ticket. this county being one Of those
in which the Wilson ballot law prevails
These "bobtair' tickets will make It easy
for the negroes in the so-called 'black
belt" to vote the ticket, and II the Re-
publicans can elect the governor. he will
have the naming OF the board of election
supervisors who have charge Of the prep
aration Of the official ballot.

The buildings may be regarded as shells
with movable partitions to allow for ad-
justment and rearrangement. The distrI-
button of light, air, and heat has been
prominently kept in mind, so that the
fullest sanitary benefits are assured to
the occupants. Accessories OF conven-
ience and necessity have been looked out
for, and a study OF the plans and ar
rangements throughout reveals the ex-
ercIse of remarkably careful consideration
for the comfort of the occupants and the
growing needs Of the departments.
what They VIII Save.
While the erection of these buildings
win be a judicious investment for the gov
ernment, and the economies in money
that must follow will be large. these are
among the lesser benefits and savings that
are to be expected by the construction of
the new buildings. The greatest saving
will result from the economies of effort
and time that will result from having
all the branches OF one department in
close touch with each other and with the
heads of the departments.
The Department Of Commerce and La
Dor alone has its Offices distributed in
no fewer than nine separate and re-
motely located buildings that are not
wen adapted for the needs OF each
branch. The loss OF time, the needless
labor, and the executive and administra-
tive difficulties that are OF hourly occur

great, and. in a measure, unnecessary
and unwise

The erection of three magnificent
public buildings in the very heart
Of the city, close to the White
House and the Washington Monu-
ment, is a long step toward the
fulhllment of the National Capital S
inevitable destiny of becoming the
most beautiful city in the world.
The work which is now being un-
dertaken rivals the efforts of the
great Napoleon, when he gave his
foremost engineers, architects, and
artists carte blanche to beautify
Paris. More than this, it gives
realization to the plans of l'Enfant
for unity of design in the .upbuild-
ing OF the city.
So the next few years will see
the block of buildings on the south
side of Pennsylvania avenue, be-
tween Fourteenth and Fifteenth, di-
agonally opposite the Treasury
Building, disappear and in their
places will arise three handsome
structures that will add to the mag
nihcence of Washington.

TALE OF YACHTING CRUISE
How Hostess Arranged Breakdown

A few seasons back a well.known
hostess chartered a splendid yacht for
August and invited large number Of
her friends for three-week cruise. At
first all went well, though the party
was not specially we'll assorted: but
after few days they began to evince
signs OF being somewhat bored with
each others company.
The hostess marked these signs OF
incipient boredom. which became more
plainly evident each day, and at last in
despair she took counsel with one OF
her guests. mn old and experienced
yacbtsman.
What on earth shall I do to amuse
there people?" she asked.
The yachtsman looked at the serene
sky and calm. blue water. and shook
his head doubtfully.
