Up In County usts---NOne

While several Democratic Senators
prevented confirmation Of some Of Cow
ernor Goldsborough's nominations for
their counties. none made such sweep
ing hold-up as President Price. Not one
of the appointments for Wicomico Coun-
ty was confirmed.
The list held up included the names Of
Morris A. Walton. for School Commits
sioner: William 7. Phoebus and Alan s.
Benjamin. Republicans. and Samuel S.
Smith. Democrat. for Supervisors Of
Elections. and those named as magis-
trates and notaries public.
Mr.. Price says he made only one re-
quest Of Governor Goldsborough - the
reappointment Of N. p. Turner as mag
istrate. Mr.. Turner, he says. has prov
ed capable and fearless official. and
has done so much to suppress lawless-
ness and disorder, especially among tur-
bulent negroes, that there was a general
demand for his reappointment. The
Governor would have made the appoint
ment. Mr.. Price believes. but for oppo-
sition from the Republican organization
of Wicomico. The Senator thinks the
general wish of the community should
have been acceeded to by the organiza-
ton.
Chairman Maloy. of the Committee
on Executive Nominations. Tuesday fur

firmation in the counties because Of OBJ

pervisor. was confirmed. OF II magis-
trates named only w. o. PAYNE. Of

City. were confirmed.
In the Baltimore city list of magis-
trates. William Eckhart. 1896 West
Fayette Street. and w. c. X. Keyser,
sos Frederick Avenue, were not acted
upon.
II is the understanding Of the Demo
cratic Senators that where a nomina
ton is not acted upon the incumbent
will hold over. In Wicomico this will
mean that all the present officials will
retain their positions. In Worcester
the result will be. il is said, that the next
Board of Supervisors Of Elections will
be composed Of two Democrats and one
Republican. The Democratic Supervi-
sor was confirmed but no action taken
on the two Republicans. As the Demo-
crat appointed was named by the party
organization he will succeed the incum-
bent named by that organization two
years ago, while the remaining present
Democratic member and the present Re-
publican member will hold over.
