G. D. P. Wins IN
PRINCE GEORGES

UPPER MARLBORO, Nov. 5.-The
G. o. p. made a clean sweep in Prince
Georges county yesterday. it's ticket
from the Gubernatorial candidate to
surveyor being elected by maJorities
ranging from 100 to 500. The main
cause for the defeat OF the Democratic
ticket lay, in the opinion OF those in
a position to Judge political conditions,
in the rehabilitation of the party
destinations on the ballot which made
IL comparatiyely easy for the colored
man to vote the ticket.
Acknowledgement Albert c. Ritchie,
candidate for governor, lost the county
by about one hundred. A significant
| feature of the result is the election OF
three members to the house of dele
gates of Maryland, who are looked
upon as favorable to the continuation
of horse racing in Prince Georges
county. oliver S. Metzerott being the
hold-over Senator from this county
makes the delegation solidly RepubIi-
can.

trict, was defeated by W. T. Davis,
