FLAYS PARTY RING
Candidate For Judge Addresses
Eastport Voters
RIPS REvELL AND OTHERS
Ending Of Bitter, But Quiet Primary
Fight At Hand Who Rival
candidates Are.

Playing the members of the Demo-
cratic ring who administer the af-
fairs of the party in Anne Arundel
county, with particular reference TO
the three men who comprise the State
Central Committee, States Attorney
Nicholas II. Green, one of the Demo-
cratic candidates for the nomination
for the Associate Judgeship of the
Fifth Judicial Circuit of Maryland, de-
livered an address at a Democratic
rally among the voters of Eastport
last night. The meeting was one of
the old-time sort
A number of musicians of the Ma
val Academy band paraded through
the streets of the village, and the
Firemen's Hall, where the speech
making took place, was crowded.
Those who attended say it was one of
the largest turnouts of Democrats in
the village for many years.
Mr. Green had his guns trained on
former Sheriff Frank S. Revell, Police
Justice John e. Potee of Brooklyn.
also a former Sheriff, and w Martin
Brady, of Annapolis, for a number of
years a deputy clerk in the office of
the Clerk of the Circuit Court for the
county, who comprise Democracy's
Central Committee. AT times, Mr..
Green got real warmed up to the
points that he wanted to drive home.
He made only passing reference to
DIR. George Wells, the veteran leader,
saying that he was not opposed to the
Doctor, but that the Doctor is up
against him Mr.. Green did, however,
prod Messrs. Revell and Potee, more
particularly the former, saying that
he (RevelD entered upon a campaign
of throttling and building up his in
fiuence with DIR. Wells five years, un-
til now it appears that he stands on
the pedestal for which he has been
striving. Passing along to Mr.. Brady
who, in the last two years has sue
ceeded DR.. Wells as a member of the
Central Committee. the States Attor-
ney said, among other things, that Mr..
Brady, in and out of politics, was gen
orally accepted as joke.
Mr.. Jesse l.. Clarke presided over
the meeting. AS is pretty generally
known, Mr.. Green has long been popu-
lar among the Democrats of Eastport,
and in former campaigns he has been
one of the chief workers of the Or
ganization forces in the village. His
supporters predict that he will carry
the precinct by a substantial majority.
The primary election is to be held
throughout the county on Tuesday
next. and because of the Judgeship
issue between Messrs Green and
Moss, coupled with more or less un-
rest along factional lines, it is diff
ficult matter to foreshadow what will
be the ultimate outcome The general
drift seems to favor the supporters of
Dr. Wells, because they are better
organized and have been for many
years, although there is considerable
divergence of opinion in nearly every
section of the county. Close friends
of States Attorney Green assert that
he has an even chance of defeating
Mr. Moss, the Organization candidate,
for the Judgeship nomination, at least
in this county. 1t is almost generally
conceded that Mr.. Moss will run much
stronger than Mr. Green in Howard
and Carroll counties, which make up
the trio OF the Fifth Circuit On the
other hand the friends of Mr.. Moss
claim that he will win hands down in
Inl n1r Of
unsettled conditions that seem to have
become manifest during the last few
weeks, there are indications that
there will be much cutting of tickets,
and the playing of favorites" in both
of the rival factions.
The Organization people and the
Progressive Democrats have complete
tickets in the field, and each is COM
posed of representative men. Beth
factions have indorsed the candidacy
of Mr. Moss for Judge Mr.. Moss
was formerly one of the main lead
ers of the Progressives, but was grab
bed up by the Organization people a
few weeks ago, when the Central
Committee indorsed him for the
Judgeship in preference to Mr.. Green,
when, on the day previous, Mr.. Moss
had been nominated by the Progress
sives as candidate for the House OF
