VOTING IS SPIRITED
Rival Candidates of Two Factions
Are Working Hard Today to
Get Heavy Poll
LOCAL INTEREST KEEN
Fight in Annapolis Between, Parkinson
And Walton Waxed Hot-County
Contest Warm

with everything running smoothly,
and no real indications of trouble of
any sort, both Democrats and Repub-
licans are working hard today to get
out their full vote and have it east in
the primary election. In Anne Arun-
del both Republicans and Democrats
have contests within their party
ranks, so that every faction is work
ing to its full ability.
The Democratic gubernatorial fight
between Senators Lee and German,
occupies the full glare of the spot
light, and following his meeting in
the Market Square last night, when
the candidate and Governor Crothers
and Mr.. William L. Marbury made
speeches in favor of Senator Lee.
comes word today that the Montgom-
cry county man is polling a heavy
vote
While no one conceeds that he will
carry Anne Arundel, Senator Lee is
getting a good vote in Annapolis, in
the First district and making a good
showing in both the Fourth and
Eighth districts. Lack of work by
Mr.. Bowie Duckett, in the First dis
trit, is given as the cause of the Lee
vote there, while the activities of
Bruner R. Anderson, in the Fourth
district is showing some results.
However, with the organization be-
hind him, and working for him, Sena-
tor German seems a safe bet, when
the votes are counted tonight.
In Annapolis the voting is fairly
heavy, and great interest is being
taken in the local fights. Mr.. Bells,
with the organization back of him,
is assured of the election in the
county, but the work of A. Theodore
Brady and James w. Owens is being
shown by fair vote for both of
these. This is indicated in Annapolis
by the activity of the runners of these
gentlemen and the number of persons
who accept the already marked bal
lot.
The fight between Elmer E. Parkin-
son and ]. A. Walton for the County
Commissioner from the Sixth district,
also warm. Mr.. Walton, with the
county organizations endorsement is
safe. but the campaigning done by Mr..
Parkinson has been thorough and he is
also polling big vote in the town.
His home precinct, the First ward, is
voting in way that indicates it will
make the best showing for him.
The only report of any difficulty
came in during the morning in a ru-
NOR of trouble in either the Fifth or
the Third district, but this was later
understood to be an unfounded report
or hoax of some sort.
While the opposition has shown a
fair working organization and is max
inga showing at the polls, there is no
reason to question the election of the
whole ticket, backed by the regular
organization and the State Central
Committee.
The Republican fight is also warm,
and the organization backing Capt.
John X. GLADDEN. for the County Cen
trail Committee Craftsmanship has a
fight on its hands, in which, however,
it seems assured that there will be nc
unseat in the present make-oup of this
pafty's organization.
A small vote, S21, was polled at
Eastport, the first precinct of the Sec.
ond district, about one-th;rd of the
registered vote, up to 2 o'clock this
afternoon. 1t is estimated the organi
cation will get a majority of 15O
votes, and Brady, the Senatorial candi
date, will get from 40 to so.
