HYATTSVILLE, Aug. 29.-Today the
voters are selecting their own candi-
dates for the first time in this country.
The Republican voters are slow in COM

ing to the polls. This can be told by
the fact that each party has a differ
ent colored ballot. The Republican ballot
is pink and the Democrat white.
The main fight in this county is be-
tween Mr. Lee and Mr. German for
the governorship. with the odds with
Mr.. Lee. This district. the home Of
State Senator Charles A. Wells, who Is
the organization leader of the county.
will give Mr.. Lee big majority. Laurel

Stanley, also will give Mr.. Lee a large
majority ChIllam district, the home
Of the anti-administration leader and
former Congressional candidate ]. A.
Ray, is expected to be close with a pos
sibility of German majority.
Outside the governorship the fight is
mainly for the county central commit
tee. This fight will close with odds
favoring Mr.. Rays slate. 1t is possible
that the anti-organiZation men will have
a majority of the legislative ticket
Jackson H. Ralston, who figured in the

DEMOCRAT CAMPS
IN MARYLAND BOTH
CLAIM A VICTORY
Primary to Select Candidate
for Governor Is Being
Held Today.

BALTIMORE. Md, Aug. 2s.-state
Senator Arthur Pue German. jr., of
Howard county, son of the late
United States Senator Arthur Pue
German. and State Senator Blair Lee,
Of Montgomery county, are battling
today for the Democratic nomination
for governor of Maryland in the first
Statewide primaries ever held in this
State.
German Is backed by United States
Senator John Walter Smith and the
State and city machines. while Lee is
supported by Congressman ]. Fred C.
Talbot and David J. Lewis, heading
what is known as the progressive
element in the party.
While the vote 50 far is light when
compared with that cast in the last
municipal primaries, intense interest Is
felt in this city. Both sides are claim
Ing q victory, and II Is conc ceded shat
the result in Baltimore will determine
the result.
Republicans Inactive.
Under the primary law the vote is by
counties, of which Baltimore is one,
and the vote of each county will be re-
corded in the Stale convention. It will
be necessary for the winning candidate
to have s. of the Us votes in the con-
vention. Baltimore city will nave twerI-
ty-eight votes. =.
Today's ballotinR will also determine
the candidates in the general election
for State comptroller, attorney general,
and members Of the Legislature. InaS-
much as the Republicans have no con-
test over their party nominees, they are
taking no part in tOdays election, ex-
cept with respect to a few instances
where there are district and ward con-
tests over nominations ior the Legisl1-
ture and State central committee.
Fight for Leadership.
From a political standpoint, the pri-
mary contest is OF much Significance
to Democrats, in that IT will determine
TO a large extent the State leadership
of the party.
Since the death OF United States Sem
ator German, Senator Smith has been
the acknowledged State leader. The
present governor OF Maryland. Austin
L. Crothers. has long been accredited
with ambitions to succeed Smith in this
capacity.
When the primary contest first start
ed, Governor Crothers was a third can
didate in the race, but withdrew at a
critical moment and threw his support
to Lee. II the latter wins. IL is con-
ceded that Crothers will have complete
~ suDplanted Senator Smith as State
leader.

walton of repose. You, doubtless, have
gone to play ana watched some actor
who thundered through a part with fiery
enthusiasm and impressive pOwer-and

came Of him
Repose is something that these Irish
PLAYERS understand. Some actors on
other stages seen, to have the tidgets,
and give their audiences the fidgets. A
good many others, if they do not carry
their animation and their movements to
such excess, have accustomed the public
to the idea that acting means restless
ness. The younger portion of the play
going public Is growing up with the idea
that perpetual InotiUn, and quick motion
at that, is proof that actors know their
business, and that the absence Of this
energy is proof that they do not know it,
that they are crude, that their work is
Gull. The prevalent notion that a play
in which the actors are not in constant
sta te OF commotior is "talky' and there
fore out of touch with the times, and is
poor piece Of dramatic art, is largely
TO be accounted for by this passion for
athletic histrionism. There are people
who would have &. play acted like a

satisfaction in such work as that of the
Irish Players. What many Of our own
actors have been taught to emulate these1
plavers have been taught to avoid. A
neighbor spectator expressed it well the
other night when he said: "These Irish
Players don't oct TO the audience. They
talk TO each other They look at each
other. Each appears to be interested III
what the others say and do. The audi
ence is ignored" OF course, the audi
erce is not really ignored, or there would
be no reason for acting. But where half
the popular actors, and minor actors, of
the day, to state the proportion mildly
give you the impression that they arc
watching the audience quite as keenly
as the audience Is watching them, the
Irish Players give no such signs. You
feel somehow that their folk plays would
go on just the same if there were no
audience; that by coming into the thea
tire YOU have been admitted to glimpses
Of actual life-not of life interpreted
theatrically, but of life lived by groups
of nomely but interesting people who do
not think just as you do, OF behave just
as YOU do. and whose outlook on the
world is very different from your outlook.
