DOVE WIN IN PRIMARY

Delegates. Daniel n. Armiger over j.
lCheston Hall for County Commission
er, and George e. Rullman over Mich
olas II. Green for States Attorney.
AS a sample of the trading and cross
deals INDUCED in by some of the poll
ticians in that district, it is observed
from the figures at hand that the Pro
| gressiye" couplet of candidates for
lSheriff-Joshua S. Linthicum and II.
Harry Arnold-receiyed a combined
ptotal of 13 votes throughout the dis
ltrict This slate was nominally suppos-
Fed to have the backing OF Isaac S. Nut
well However, as a result of the al
legged combination between him and
kCommissioner Emmett Nj. Webb, can
didate for Sheriff and a former antago-
hist Mr.. Webb carried the district by
approximately 70 majority. whereas, on
the other hand. Mr.. Brady. the OR
ganization" candidate for Senator, car
ried the district by approximately SO
majority.
Thomas s. Dove, the Organization"
candidate for Sheriff, made runaway
race for that office, and was nominal
ed by over 600 majority, polling an
especially strong vote in Annapolis
and vicinity.
For Clerk of the Court, William n
Woodward also made splendid run
and he is one of the leaders in the
grand total of majorities for the re-
spectiye Offices Former Sheriff JOS
eph H. Bells. however. made an ex-
C client run in Annapolis and carried
the city by majority of 81 votes.
Another phenomenal run that was
made was that of DANES A. Walton for
County Commissioner Mr.. Walton
was high man in the City of Annapolis
among his ticket colleagues, and also
polled a splendid vote in Eastport and
in fact throughout the entire county
The fight against him became a fizzle
and his nomination was one of the per-
sonal triumphs of the campaign.
Other candidates. that showed mark
ed personal triumphs were those of w.
Meade Holiday and Bernard j. Vie
gard for the House of Delegates. Mr.
Holiday was on the Progressive
ganization" slate, and yet both ran
well ahead of any of the other candi-
dates for that office on either slate,
and in the City of Annapolis and vi
entity especially. were they strongly
supported.
The present Judges of the Orphans
Court-Messrs. Hyde, eT}all and Carr
were all nominated by substantial ma
jorities, and States Attorney Nicholas
H. Green, also won decisively over
Messrs. Rullman and Dunlap, his two
competitors.
There is one feature of the primary
election that is probably of special
Importance to those who look under
the surface in matters political, and
that is the election by the voters of a
State Central Committee of an entirely
different political complexion from
those in the past. 1t seems that Sam
uel p Chew and John dep. Douw, who
with James S. Smith, formed the PRO
gressives' ticket for the State Cen
trail Committee, were nominated by
substantial majorities and will, OF
course, be in control of the Commit
tee. The third member is in doubt
with strong indications during the day
that the final returns will show the re-
nomination of Frank S. Revell, al
though the third membership is APP
parently so close that nothing short of
the official count will decide it.
/ At the hour of going to press, it is
impossible to state with any degree of
exactness just what the full list of
nominations will be. However, the
aforegoing references will indicate the
trend of the election and show those
who certainly have been nominated.
Another feature that brought forth
cation in reference to the County Com
missioners. There seems to be
strong probability that three of the
seven commissioners may come from
the Second District, although each dis
trict is supposed to have its own rep
resentative. ST, George Barber, who
made a conspicuously successful show
ing throughout the county, and car
ried his home district (the Second)
over his competitors Henry Il. Myers
and c. Milton Duvall, is surely nomi
mated. Likewise, it seems that
Messrs. Myers and Duvall, polled
bigger vote than the commissioners
from the Fourth and Fifth Districts,
and it may develop that the Second
District viii have three out of four
members on the Board of County Com
|missioners. This emphasizes the ur-
gent necessity of a law which will
allow each district to select its own
commissioner.
