men employed. Several Of them yester-

time with game Of craps.
Policeman Singleton Cooper found the
game in progress. He called to his aid
Policemen Lewis. Osterman and Preston
from the harbor precinct. A roundup
of the gamblers followed.
To avoid chasing any man overheard
the police surrounded the samesters and
spectators, and then made a quick rush.
So complete was the surprise that
no one made more than a feeble effort
to get away.
At the police station the names OF the
men were registered at John Moore,
Henry Lucas, William Roane, William
Shanklin Samuel Butler, Thomas Miller
and William Law.
Not one man in the crowd wanted to
admit that he had participated in the
game, although the police had the

List of Candidates.


The candidates are John c. Bentley,
Andrew j. Cummings, Charles r. Darby,
William H. Darby, Frank j. Downey.
Clarence NJ. Griffith. James Abby Hender-
son, Henry Maurice Talbot. Eugene H.
Waters George 7. Waters and j. Furr
White.
In addition to Cummings and Hender-
son, the only one of the candidates who
has seen previous service in the house is
George Il. Waters. The single plank in
Mr.. Waters platform was for a dog tax
law, which was passed, and which. it is
claimed, has been beneficial to farmers
who raise sheep.
In accordance with the new law, which
is to go into effect Tuesday. the republi-
can primary will be held that day also.
Both primaries will be conducted at the
same precincts and by one set of officials.
A new form of ballot is to be used,
which, 1t Is feared. may result in some
confusion. Heretofore the voters have
been required to scratch the names of
all the candidates EXCEPT the ones voted
for. Under the new arrangement a
cross mark is to be placed after the
name of the candidate of first choice.
Handshakipg. ''howdying'' and hustling
have been going on recently at a great
rate in Montgomery county, for 1t has
besn years since primary has produced
as many democratic candidates as there
are this year. AS the voters are to ex-
press their choice for nominee for gov
ernor, nearly the full voting strength of
the county. it is anticipated, will be
brought out.
In Race for Commissionership.
Nine men are in the race for county
commissioner, with only two places-one
in the third and one in the fourth col
lection districts-to be filled. From the
third district Charles G. Griffith. Richard
T. White. jr., and Lewis Poole are seek
ing the nomination.
In the fourth district r. Humphrey
Cissell, the incumbent, is seeking another
term. He is opposed by Henry j. Hunt,
Sd; Thomas C. Groomes. Clifton F..
Nicholson and George w. Higgins.
There are seven aspirants for the office
of sheriff and eight for the berth of Judge
of the orphans court, including the in
cumbent. Judge Renus r. Darby.
The race for party Endorsements for
county offices has SO overshadowed the
gubernatorial contest that the latter is
mentioned only as an incident in the gen.
eral fight.
But Few Republican Aspirants.
The republican ticket is composed of
fewer candidates, not more than five
aspirants being out for any one office.
Five citizens have offered themselves for
the legislature on the republican ticket.
. 1ney are Alfred 4. WdTlneI, MOHIROm-
cry Blair. j. Frank TraZZare, George E.

DIR. Augustus Stabler, Howard A. Mar

Judge of the orphans court. There are
but two republican candidates for county
commissioner.

dates on the republican ticket.

While dozens of persons identified

and said, p!ead:ngly:
Mother, don't you know your

man as he attempted to embrace her,
stood sternly scanning his face.

that $4,000 policy is held by a

To test his acquaintance with Niles,
"Kimmel" later was escorted about
the streets. He repeatedly pointed
out the landmarks and related former

were correct. Noddng to people he
called them by their first names, but
