Governor Goldsborough on Tuesday,
commissioned William T. Warburton. of
Cecil county. a member of the State
Board of Education, to take the place of
Colonel William S. Powell, Of Ellicott
City, resigned, to take effect Immediately.
The Governor also has appointed him a
member of the board to serve for six
years from the first Monday in May, and
when that time comes he again will be
commissioned. Since he has been in the
Legislature Delegate Warburton has been
one of Governor Goldsborough's closest

into conference with the Executive, and
whatever instructions the latter had to
issue. to the Republicans of the House
were issued through him.

"Snake" In Primary Bill.

A snake" is said to have been dis
covered in the Price Senatorial Primary
bill which many Republicans will cause
Governor Goldsborough to veto. The
bill provides that at general election for
members of Legislature. which will
elect United States Senator the voter,
using the same ballot, can express his
choice for Senator. The same county
unit system used in the Presidential pri-
maries again is employed. the Legislators
being required to vote for United States
Senators according to the preference vote.
The snake" in the bill was discovered
by Republican Floor Leader Warburton,
after the bill had passed and is believed to
be embraced in an amendment tackled on
by the Senate Elections Committee 1t
provides, in brief, that where any voter
expresses his choice for Democratic or
Republicans candidate for the United
States Senate, as the case may be. but
cuts" his ticket in voting for members of
the Legislature, his whole ballot shall be
rejected. The effect of this would be to
cut out all independent voting and thus
give the organizations control of the Legis-
lature and the selection of United States
Senators.

DEFEND ACTION ON
MARYLAND BOUNDARY
Majority of Commission File Excep.
ton to Minority Members Re-
port and Survey Stands.

Washington, Feb. Julius K Mon
roe and Samuel S. Gannett, who with
w. M. Brown, were selected by au-
thority of the Supreme Court of the
United States to survey the disputed
boundary line between the states of
West Virginia and Maryland, filed a
supplemental report in the Supreme
Court of the United States. taking ex-
ceptions to the conclusions of Brown,
who fled minority report some time
ago.
Brown, representing the state of
Maryland, refused to agree to the re-
port of the commission. In their re-
port the two commissioners say:
"The boundary line as laid out and
marked in 1910 and 1911, in our judg-
ment, conforms as nearly as 1t is pos
sible to make 1t to the opinion and de-
cree of this court. and as located,
least disturbs the titles Of the citizens
residing along it."
