SITUATION HEATING UP
Political Pot Shows indications OF
Bubbling With A Complete.
Boil Over Probable.
REPUBLICANS AMBITIOUS.
Local Ticket May Be Filled Out And
Democrats Are Not Scared To See
II So.

Anne Arundel's political pot is heat.
ing up and what at first promised to
be quiet and possibly one-sided local
campaign, now gives indications OF
showing some stirring times.
With the Republican local organiza-
tion talking of filling it's county ticket.
and something that is more than a
mere murmur of discomfort being
heard in that party's ranks over the
alliances and alignments of tie G. O.
P. organization, fun is promised and
fur may fly. Greatly encouraged by
the check which has been shown on
the tendency to desert German. be-
cause of the Baltimore ballot-countine
frauds, since the jealous grand Jury
in the city has failed utterly to divuIpe
anything that taints his nomination.
the Democrats are not at all fright
ened by the activity of the Republi-
cans.
On the other hand they welcome
the activity of the G. o. p, because it
gives added incentive to the precinct
workers of the Democratic party and
will unity the party for the fight on a
common enemy.
The generally accepted rumor that
the Republican organization has
pledged its support to Edwin Cecil, of
the Fourth district, who has been
affiliated with both Republicans and
Democrats in his political activities
and who now would be an indepen-
dent candidate for Sheriff of the coun-
ty, is said not to please the rank and
file of the party. 1t is understood
that Republican of standing and
Importance in the county, who has
big following, approached his
party's organization for it's support
in run for Sheriff against George
T. Beasley, the Democratic nominee.
and was informed that the support
he wanted was already pledged to
Cecil.
Although this gentleman was offered
his party's support and eventually ac-
cepted it for another county office. it
is said that there is soreness over
the reported alliance with Cecil for
the Sheriffalty nomination.
In addition to this it is said that
the Republicans will endeavor to run
Frank A. Munroe and w. F. Crosby as
candidates for the House of Dele
gates, thus filling the ticket for that
part of the contest. However. it is
currently reported that Mr.. Munroe.
who it is conceded, would give
strength to the ticket, will not con
sent to run.
Added tangle in the Republicans
skein of troubles is found in the re-
ported efforts of the party manage
ment to induce DR.. Louis B. HenkeI.
Jr., to resign as the nominee against
Mr.. Joseph H. Bells for the State
Senate. DR.. Henkel is not considered
strong candidate by any means, and
his chances against Mr.. Bells are
conceded to be small.
These efforts of the Republicans.
who were boosted in their hopes of
obtaining control of the State by the
Baltimore city situation and their es-
timate of the effect on the whole cam
paign, are giving the Democrats no
worry, it is said. The more interest
ing the Republicans make the cam
paign, the more the Democratic work
ers will strive and there is every
indication that the local G. o. P. in
its attempt to get too much will end
by getting nothing.
