ROBERT MOSS TO GET
JUDCESH|P BERTH
State Central Committee Indorsed
Him For Appointment Today
ACTION PARTLY SURPRISE
And Announcement Caused Consider
able Stir Among The Warning
Factions of Democrats.

Politicians of Anne Arundel county
long noted for counting bitter politi-
cal fights engaging in chickering's here
and there. gathered about the Court
House here this morning to find prob
ably the greatest turn around in the
affairs of the Democrats that has oc-
CURED for many years.
The resulting situation was precip-
itated largely through the recent
death of Judge James r. Brashears
thereby causing a vacancy of associ-
ate judge on the bench OF the Fifth
Judicial Circuit. So here is what hap
pened in a very short time this morn
ing. w Martin Brady, chairman. DR.
George Wells and Frank S. Revell,
who compose the State Central Com
mittee got together in conference in
the Office of DR.. Wells, and finally de-
cided to indorse Mr.. Moss for the
judgeship and his name will be sent
to Governor Harrington at once. In
the meantime il had transpired that
States Attorney Nicholas H. Green,
who was also strongly urged for the
appointment was in a highly recep-
tive mood, and in fact expected TO
receive the committees recommends
ton 1t is said that Mr.. Green keen
ly felt the disappointment over the
committees action and has very
promptly announced that he is in the
fight to the finish and will enter the
primaries on September IL. 1t is ex-
pected he will file his certificate of
nomination with the Board of Elec-
tion Supervisors as required, some
time late this afternoon.
News of the big turn around spread
quickly through the big assemblage
of politicians in the Court House
yard, and leaders and lesser lights in
the political armament talked it over
here and there Attention was inn
mediately drawn particularly as re-
CARDS the position of Mr.. Moss, who,
as is we'll known, has for a number
of years been affiliated with the Pro-
gressive faction of the party, and
only yesterday was nominated on
that ticket as a candidate for the
House of Delegates. Some of the
district leaders appeared as mad as
hornets at the situation that is now
presented, others were forced to
laugh it off At any rate it was a
topic of widespread gossip and COM
ment
The Progressives will now be call
ed upon to patch up their ticket which
was nominated here yesterday. Mr..
Moss will, of course, resign as can
didate for the House of Delegates.
Who will be chosen for the vacancy
is not known, but it is understood the
leaders of that faction are making eff
forts to induce Mr.. w. Meade Holla-
day, formerly engaged in the news
paper publication business here, to
accept. Another thing that makes
the situation even more muddled is
the position of Mr.. Isaac S. Nutwell,
leader of the Eighth District forces
in the pending fight. AS has been pre-
viously told in The Capital. Mr.. Nut
well drifted away from the Wells
fold and jumped into the camp OF the
Progressives.
