The Prince George's enquirer and southern Maryland advertiser. (Upper Marlborough, Md.) 1882-1925, 1920-05-14

by IA votes for the Republican NOM
ination in the Fourth district. Atwood
had 2,214 to 2,200 for Knickman. The
latter had most of the organization
workers in addition to the wet support.
The last precinct was needed to settle
the fight.
Curiously again, on the Eastern
Shore, long considered the dry citadel
of Maryland, Hilton w. Robertson, un-
known in most of the district until
this campaign, running as a wet for
the Democratic nomination, gave T.
Alan Goldsborough, prominent law
yer of Caroline county, backed by most
of the organization and anti-organiza-
tion forces, hard fight.
Robertson carried Cecil by good
majority, and Kent, Dorchester and
Wicomico. In the latter, where he
lives, he had upward of 400 majority.
His victory in Dorchester, where for
mer Governor Harrington was sup
posed to be quietly for Goldsborough,
was surprise. Goldsborough got his
largest majority in his home county
Caroline. He also got good majority
in Talbot, and carried Queen Anne's,
Somerset and Worcester.
Capt. Thomas S. Klinger, of Prince
Georges county, won the Democratic
fight in the Fifth district through car
rying the city wards in the district by
about 100 plurality over Walter B.
Dorsey, of Anne Arundel. Dorsey car
ried his own county and st. Mary's.
Charles, Prince Georges and Calvert.
Frank o. Smith carried Howard.
In the city fight between John
Mahon and Frank Kelly for the dele
gates to the Democratic State Con-
vention Mahon came out ahead. He
won 16 of the % delegates. Kelly won
II and one man was elected who was
on both states. If the unit rule were
applied in the delegation from each
Legislative district Mahon would have
three of the four delegations.
He won five of the seven delegates
in the First Legislative district, four
two won by Kelly, the seventh man
being the compromise candidate, Chas.
F. Evans; five of the seven in the
Third district, and two of the seven in
the Fourth.
The roster of delegates follow:
First District = Mahon men,
Burns delegate4at-large) Harri-
gan,' Hanna, Lasch and Lewis;
Kelly men, A11ern and Flynn.
Second District - Mahon, men,
James S. Armiger (at large),
Frank Armiger, Flynn and Boone;
Kelly men, Dorl and Carman; +.
compromise man, Evans.
Third District = Mahon men,

Campbell and Brewer; Kelly men,
Ames and Hoenes.
Fourth District - Mahon men,
Durm and Kramme; Kelly men,
Bartels Cat large), Bopp, Fitzsim-
mons, HucksoH and Horton.
One of the features of Mahon's vic
tory was Danny" Loden's success In
carrying his ward, the Nineteenth, for
the Mahon slate in the Third district.
Loden lost his ward in the fight for
the State Central Committee last fall.
The Mahon people were in great glee
last night because of their success In
the city and hailed it as a reliable
indication Of the relative strength OF
their machine and Kelly's. They have
always claimed that the results of last
falls fight for the State Central Com
mittee were fiuke.
No contest occurred in either party
for the nomination for United States
Senator. John Walter Smith was un-
opposed for denomination by the Demo
Gratis and Ovington E. Weller had no
opposition for the Republican nomina-
tion.
For Congress, the Democrats renom-
mated Congressman Coady and Linthi
cum in the Third and Fourth districts,
respectively, and nominated Senator
Frank w. Mish, of Washington county,
in the Sixth without opposition.
The Republicans renominated Con-
gressmen Andrews, in the First;
Mudd, in the Fifth, and Zihlman, in
the Sixth, without opposition. They
also nominated John Philip, Hill in the
Third without contest.
In the Second, former Congressman
Albert A. Blakeney was nominated.
Linwood L. Clark, who filed against
him, withdrew too late to get his name
off the ballot and polled considerable
number of votes. In the city wards he
had about 800 against Blakeney's 1,500.
