ANNAPOLIS NEWS

Governor Harrington has indicated
that a new body of State troops would
have to be raised to take the place OF
the brigade now under mobilization.
He said he had been in conference
with several advisers and would prob
ably arrange for the creation of sec
ondary organization as soon as the
various State units now at Laurel had
reached their full war strength.
A law, he said, compelled him to pro-
vide for adequate" home protection,
which is taken away with the marsha
ing of the State forces into the Federal
service.
The suggestion is already under con
sideration in connection with various
PROPOSITIONS to establish a Home
Guard" This program would foster
the recruiting of the proposed Home
Guard and a second cavalry troop,
Troop B. for which plans are some
what advanced already as a nucleus
of the new State organization.

More than 100 applications and

pany of Home Guards suggested by

been received.

thing to assist in the present crisis.
With the interest steadily growing, it
is planned to open a permanent re
cruiting office. Among the applicants
tentatively signed are five or six men
with military experience, one OF whom
has held a majors commission.
No Trouble About Funds.
Mr. Mooney stated that he could
readily vouch for the expense OF the
eouipping of at least so men, while
John L. Bailey, treasurer of the Gas
and Electric Company, said he felt
sure provision could be made for LOCO
men. 1t was figured that the expense
for each soldier would be about $9C,
including the uniform, shoes, hat. leg,
gings, blanket, knapsack, poncho, rife
and ammunition.
There is a strong possibility that
the State troops will be re-equipped
with the new rifles Of the regular
army, the short-barreled Winchester,
and in that event the discarded rifles
could be turned into the States keep

General Jacinto Trevino, Carranza's
commander of the northeast, had
taken every precaution to shield the
prisoners from violence at the mob's
hands, furnishing them with a large
detail of soldiers as a guard. The
crowd followed the troopers to the
cuartel, however, cursing and hooting
at them.

checking the secretary of state makes
up list showing the actual votes re-
ceived by every candidate in every
county
The county clerks make a report TO
the secretary of state showing the
votes by precincts in each county.
There is no way of going behind these
