COUNTY VOTE SHOWS
DEMOCRATS MAJORITY
Leaders However Had Expected
Larger MajOrities.
HARRINGTON LEADS BY l7S.
The Fifth District Comes Out Strongly
Result in Fourth. Surprise
What Returns Show.

Returns from sixteen of the eight
cen precincts of this county gave
Harrington 3.OSS votes; Weller, 29lO.
The two precincts of the Fourth dis
trict, in which the detail votes were
not known here up to today. gave
Weller 103 majority. so that Harring-
ton carried the county by but rs.
There is no doubt that all the Dem
ocratic candidates for county offices
have been elected. Frank, NJ. Duvall,
Democrat. has 224 majority over
James NJ. Munroe, Republican, for the
State Senate. and it is believed that
all of the other Democrats have re-
ceived maiorities ranging from that
to five hundred
The result was a surprise to Dem
Ocratic leaders. Harrington was ex-
pected to carry the county by a ma
iority approaching 500 if not more.
The unofficial returns give Harring-
ton majority of IFS, while the ma
iorities Of Messrs. Ritchie and Nc
Mullen, minus the Fourth district fig
ures, are 1917 and ZIG, respectively.
Another surprising result was in
the Eighth district, the home of Isaac
s. Nutwell one of the Democratic
leaders. Nutwell carried the district
for Harrington by the small margin OF
six votes, while on the other hand.
James M. Mu9ros, Republican candi-
date Tor Senator, won by a majority
of 60. The Republicans centered their
fight principally in behalf of Weller.
Munroe for the Senate and Joseph o.
Fowler, for Sheriff.
Both the Democratic candidate for
Sheriff and Senator would have been
defeated but fer the heavy majorities
in Annapolis and Fifth district The
Fifth district, which includes Brook
lyn. Curtis Bay and the Annapolis
wards, came through strong for the
Democratic ticket, otherwise the State
candidates would have lost out, and
two or more of the local candidates
also would have been defeated. The
result in the Fourth district was a
great surprise. It is normally heav-
lily Democratic.
