TODAY'S ELECTION IS
PROCEEDING QUIETLY
Democrats Sanguine, Yet Uncer-
tainty Exists.
MUCH SPLITTING REPORTED
Also Said That Many Republicans Are
Voting For Bells For Sheriff
Vote Is Light

With indications of Democratic
success all down the line in spite of the
unprecented apathy that has been, and
unsettled conditions on account of the
war and in other ways, the election in
Anne Arundel County is proceeding
quietly. The vote. it is expected, will
be light Both parties will feel the
absence of some four hundred men
who are at Camp Mcclellan or Camp
Meade, or are serving their country
in other branches of the service
None was permitted to return home to
vote. This situation probably hits the
Democrats the hardest.
That Comptroller McMullen will re-
ceive a substantial majority in this
county is practically conceded, but
the indications are there is more or
less splitting on the local candidates
The offices to be filled are County
Treasurer. Sheriff, Register of Wills,
members of the House of Delegates,
and County Commissioners. The
Democrats have complete ticket, but
the Republicans did not name men for
County commissioners. 1t is reported
that many Republicans, resenting the
action OF the Central Committee in in
dorsing the annexation issue, will
knife the legislative candidates. The
G. o. p. leaders feel confident they
viii elect two or more of their candi-
dates.
Out of a registered vote of more
than 500 in the Second Ward, only $50
votes had been polled, an average Of
less than 80 per hour, and the poll
was running at about the same ratio
in the other three wards of the city
Even though many voters are out of
the city, that is, those in the military
service above referred to, the Demo
cratic and Republican voters alike
predicted that the vote would be light.
The same condition of affairs prevails
in most of the county precincts, ac-
cording to reports reaching the city
1t seems, from what can be gath
cred, that the ward workers in the
city are bending particular effort in
behalf of the candidacy of former
State Senator Joseph II. Bells for
Sheriff. 1t is reported that many Re-
publicans are casting their ballots for
him as against the candidate of their
own party, William II. Meade, of East
port. The Democrats were more or
less dubious in the last few days as
Mr.. Bells chances in the city, but IL
the reports that went the rounds in
course of the day are correct, he
should carry the city, and other doubt
full sections and that would practical
ly assure his election in the county
Taken all in all, however, an un-
dercurrent of uncertainty exists all
down the line

TWO MEATLESS DAYS
INSTEAD OF ONE
Next Move; Sweetless Day also Among
Probabilities, Says Col. Consolvo

Two meatless days a week in hotels
and lunch rooms instead of one as at
present will probably be the next step
in the movement to conserve the food
supply of America during the war, ac-
cording to Col. Charles NJ. Consolvo
the new owner of-the Belyedere Hotel,
Baltimore, and representative of the
Food Administration for the hotels of
Maryland, Delaware and Virginia.
Colonel Consolvo went TO Baltimore
from Norfolk yesterday and was at the
Belvedere all day He saw his new
hostelry crowded to capacity, with
visitors waiting around the lobby for
rooms to be emptied
81 find the public taking enthusias-
tically to the food conservation move
ment." said Colonel Consolvo. There
have been practically no complaints
against the food conservation schedule
which has been adopted by the hotels.
The people are not only observing the
meatless day and the wheatless day
each week, but they are also, of their
own initiative, eliminating much of
the waste in food that formerly char
acterized meals taken in hotels
There is no hysterical economy, but
just plain. common-sense saving.
so great has been the response TO
the one meatless day that it is not i'm
probable that two days each week will
be set aside by the hotels for the elm
ination of meat from the menus.
This has not yet been decided, but it
is under consideration. Decision will
probably be made soon"
