ROCKVILLE, Nd. November s.-The
democrats made complete cleanup in
| Montgomery county yesterday, returning
| ma jorities for the democratic candidates
for state Offices and electing all the
county democratic candidates.
Germans pluraliy in the county over
Goldsborough was 4O1, and Harrington
for controller and Poe for attorney gen.
eral ran practically even with the head
of the ticket.
Two of the democrats nominated for
county offices had fights on their hands,
but both won by narrow margins. Andrew
j. Cummings. one Of the democratic can
didates for the Maryland house of dele
gates. was fought by j. Frank Trazzare,
republican. While Cummings ran behind
his ticket, his election by a majority Of
about 800 is assured. Had Trazzare re-
ceived the full republican vote, it is
claimed, he would have nosed out Cum
have overlooked the end OF. the ticket,
after voting forsthe head candidates, and
their oversight so reduced Trazzare's
total vote that it fell behind Cummings
reduced vote.
The other democrat upon whom q fight
was made was Richard H. Cissel. candf-
date for county commissioner from the
fourth district. His opponent. James w.
Simpson of Chevy Chase was strongly
supported in the Bethesda district. That
district, which is normally democratic by
about 80, gave the republican candidate
majority of 104. The voters there de-
sired to get a representative on the board
of county commissioners, SO that some
improvements would be ordered in that
section. Cissel. however. rallied the vot-
ers of his section to his support and his
majority was about 40.

cult, which comprises the counties OF
Montgomery and Frederick. had no OPP
position, and was elected for the full term

Amendments Are Rejected.
Montgomery county expressed its dis
approval Of all three of the proposed
amendments to the state constitution.
Every district in the county gave ma
jority in the negative. They proposed the
disfranchisement Of the negro voters of
the state, the increase of Baltimore city's
representation in the senate from 4 to q
and the increase Of the representation in
the house of delegates from "a to IS.
The full returns from all the districts
in the county have not been received
here as many of the districts simply re-
ported the pluralities or majorities with
out giving the vote for each candidate in
detail. Complete reports are expected by
tomorrow, when the official count will be
made.
