GAMBRILL TO RUN FOR
LEGISLATURE

Stephen w. Gambrill, has an
nounced to the Democratic voters
of Howard county that he intends
to be a candidate for the nomi-
nation for the House of Dele
gates, and his announcement
means that there will be a fight.
At the same time State Comp
troller E. Brooke Lee is seriously
considering announcing that he
will be a candidate for the House
from Montgomery, says the Bal
timore Sun. If they both win
there will be some fun in the next
House at Annapolis. AS both
counties are normally Democra-
tic, both may win,in the gener-
al election if nominated.
Mr.. Gambrill's announcement
will be the signal for the begin
ming of a fight against him by
the State administration as well
as possibly, some other politi-
cal forces in Howard county.
In the last Legislature Mr.. Gam
brill opposed some of the plans
of the State administration, in
Guiding the legislation on the
wet and dry subject, and the
indications are that he has not
yet been forgiven.
1t had, until recently, been
thought that Mr.. Lee would be
a candidate for the Comptroller
ship again, but he has it in his
head that there will be some hot
fighting in the House next SEES
sion and he does not want to be
compelled to stay on the side
lines. So he and his political
friends are looking around for a
suitable candidate to make the
race for State Comptroller and
as soon as they succeed in this
the announcement of Mr.. Lees
candidacy for the House of Dele
gates may be expected.
1t has been suggested that
Mr.. Lee might run for the State
Senate, but he has said that he
prefers the House. A Senator
is to be chosen from Montgomery
next year and the Lee people
propose to put in the DR.. Eugene
Jones, who was the predecessor
of the late Senator J. Dawson
Williams.
The Democrats figure that as
they have four holdover men,
bers of the Senate their control
OF that body is certain, but they
realize that they will have to
make a desperate fight to hold
the House. And by all signs it
will be close, so that if Mr.. Lee
is a member he will have a
chance to do some fighting with
the Republicans. And if Mr..
Gambrill also wins he will not
let Mr.. Lee do all the fighting.
He will want to do some him
self.
Just whom the Democrats will
succeed in persuading to run for
the COMPREHENSIVE cannot be
forecast. But it is stated that
it is possible that the friends of
M. Bates Stephens, former
State Superintendent of Educa-
ton, may prevail on him to run.
And if he gets into it the
chances are that the Lee and
State administration people will
combine to put up a candidate
against him.
