HINGES ON q .
BALTIC. 0.WARDS

BALTIMORE, Nov. 7.-Republicans
were hoping today that official re-
turns from the remaining twenty
three wards of this city will wipe out
Albert c. Ritchie's lead of 19S votes
and give Harry w Nice. G. o: P. can
didate, a plurality.
The Democratic leaders were con-
fident that Ritchie's final plurality,
as given in the complete Official re-
turns, would vary little or nothing
from that figure; which is to say, they
were confident that he was elected
governor and would be governor of
Maryland for the next four years.
The Republican leaders, much ex-
cited over the fluctuations and the
cutting down of Mr.. Ritchie's lead, yes
terday claimed the election of States
Attorney Nice, but their hopes were
much lower at the close of the day
| than few hours earlier, the official
| canvass in the counties having failed
to make gains for their man. They
were hoping against hope that the
J complete official canvass in the city
4 would do the trick.
| Contest Likely.
; When the day was done, the Re-
publicans- were Understood to be
making ready for a contest in the
event the expected happened, and
Mr.. Ritchie nosed through a winner
in complete official returns. If the
unexpected happens and Mr.. Nice
noses through in the lead, the Demo-
Gratis probably will begin talking
contest. The Democrats, in control
of the legislature, have the vantage
ground in contest proceedings.
Complete official returns from the
counties in the fight for attorney gem
eral, received late last night, made
Alexander Armstrong, Republican,
the victor over Thomas j. Keating.
Democrat, by 13S votes. That race
was even closer than the one for gov
ernor. Mr.. Keating's only chance is
that which Mr.. Nice has in the gov
ernorship's fibht-the possibility that
the complete official returns in the
city will make a change. The votes
for Mr.. Keating and Mr.. Armstrong
now stand 106-753 and 1O6-S91, re-
spectively.
Served Il Years, Reelected.
Caleb G. Magruder, who has been
clerk OF the court of appeals for
twelve years; won reelection, defeat
ing William l.. Marcy, his Republican
opponent, by 1,214. The votes were:
Magruder, $50; Marcy, 1O4,646.
There has been no question of the
election Of Major E. Brooke Lee.
Democrat, to the comptrollership
since the city votes were in. The
complete figures give him 5,276 plu-
rality. His vote was 100, ,3S7 to 1O4,11
for Col. Amos w. w. Woodcock, Re-
publican.
The tension among candidates and
leaders in both parties was even
greater yesterday than on Wednesday
and Tuesday night. 1t was terrific.

AoVERTIsEME ENT
To HaUe Curly, Wapy
Hair Like "Nafure's Oun"

Women who have trouble keeping their
hair in curl, or of securing the desired
wavy enect-and especially those who
realize the harm that the hot iron does to
the hair-will do well to try plain liquid
silmerine. In no other way can they ac-
quire such pretty waves and curls having
all the appearance of Natures own" And
the hair, instead Of being singed, ragged or
dead looking, has such lively lustre and
wholesome beauty.
IL one will get a bottle of liquid silmcr-
inc at any drug store and follow the ac-
companying directions, she will be simply
delighted with the result. This product is
of course perfectly harmless and there is
nothing sticky, greasy or unpleasant about
IL. The hair will be quite managea BILE
no matter in what fashion it is done up.

Senate Now Ready to COnSid-

Anti-German Rule to
Private Schools.
Associated Press Service:

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. Feb. 10
With the German language question
practically disposed of so far as it
concerns public and high schools
and two administration measures
sent to the house during the week
state senator's spending the week
end adjournment period at the cap
itol expressed satisfaction with the
week work Some Of the stand
patters." however, looked with dis
favor on the political sqUa bibles
which occupied much Of the time.
Passage of the bills abolishing the
teaching of the German language
from the curriculums of public and
high schools places the senate in po-
sition 10 await house action on the
Lowe bill applying the Anti-German
principle to parochial and private
schools. The bill probably viii be
received by the upper body next
week and some senators propose 10
amend it TO make it more specific.
The Work of the Week.
Thirty-four senate and one house
bills were approved by the upper
house during the past week, one of
them being the administration meas
ure placing the inspection of oil un-
der supervision of the food and
drug commission after September
so. Another administration prOpo-
sition was a joint resolution for
amending tie constitution to make
the state superintendent of public
instruction appointive instead of
elective. Eight OF the less import
ant senate bills were killed and two
failed TO pass for want of a con-
stitutional majority.
The Kimmei bill placing repub-
licans in charge of oil inspection is
ready for passage and may be call
ed Monday.
It was considered probable also
that the senate will have a turn at
the tax reform bill and the measure
creating a new highway commission
These are ready for third reading in
the house and probably will be
transmitted to the senate during the
week, if they are approved by the
house.
Expect Another Fight.
Another political fight over the
Kimmeu oil inspection bill is ex-
pected when the senate acts on the
democratic concurrent resolution
presented by Sen. Elsner, democrat,
directing that discharged soldiers
and sailors be given preference in
the Jobs created under this bill. The
resolution also would apply TO the
inspection jobs created in the Dun
can bill. 1t was referred to the
committee on judiciary B at the
request of Sen. Negley.
Several new bills were placed in
the legislative hopper during the
past week One by Sens. Beardsley
and Van Auken would repeal the
present primary law and provide
for primary election Of delegates TO
the city, county. district and state
political conventions. at which
would be selected the party candi-
dates for the various offices. An
other was proposed by Duncan 10
change the date Of the primary
elections from MAY 70 March for
the convenience OF farmers. Sen.
Neidl proposed a bill increasing the
nav of legislators from Sc 10 $40 a
dav and Van Auken introduced one
defining the crime of bolshevism
and fixing the penalties.
