William S. Gordy, Jr., cashier Of a
Salisbury bank, known for several
n onths as an aspirant for the Dem :
cratic nomination for State Conn :
t, oller, Monday sent formal notice
Of his candidacy to the Secretary oe
State. Mr.. Gordy is reported to hav'.
had for a number of years the per.
sonal friendship of former Sen to:
John Walter Smith and State Treas
urer, John M. Dennis. He had no.
been active politically, however. Until
announcement of his intention 20 seek
the Comptrollership nomination.
Since the announcement months ago
by State Comptroller +. BROOKE Lee
that he would not be candidate fer
reelection Democratic leaders have
been casting around for cand; at,
who would be we'll known personally
and politically throughout the Safe
and who could be counted on to lend
political and possibly financial assis-
lance in the State Senatorial ami
Legislative fights in the counties No
such candidate, however, has vcr
appeared. The time for closing the
lists is only ten days off and unless
some other candidate is found before
then Mr.. Gordy probably will be an
opposed.
The Democratic aspirant has 4
clean personal record and at his ap
pearance in Baltimore at the recent
Democratic State Central Committee
meeting and other political gatherings
made friends quickly.
State Senator Oliver Metzerott, of
Prince Georges county, already has
filed for the Republican nomination.
He, too, is likely to be unopposed
If neither Mr.. Gordy nor Senator
Metzelott is opposed within their
parties there will be no primary on :,
Statewide office next month, as the
COMPREHENSIVE is the only Statewide
office to be voted on in November.
Mr.. Gordy will be at the Pocomokc
Fair on Thursday next and our people
will have a chance to meet him.

weeks before we can hope to see the
job completed. However, the start is
encouraging and we are sure that Mr..

$4OO in CASH STOLEN
Thieves Enter Store OF Mr.. Carl
Outen And Take Safe Away In
His Own Auto Truck.

On Monday night last the store of
Mr. Carl Outten, just over the Vir-
ginia line on the old Red Hills road
was entered by some unknown part ;
and robbed. There has always been
thieves in Maryland but our Virgin !
friends have us surely whipped
if the Outten robbery is a sample of
their outlaws. The robbers took MI.
Outten's save out of the store, Dor
rowed his auto-truck. hauled the safe
to woods nearby, bursted it open
end got out of it four hundred dol
lars in cash, so the report goes. They
were kind enough to leave the truck
in tact and it was recovered. Fine
piece of business and outdoes any
thing we have had in Maryland in our
recollection. The affair occurred ear.
ly in the evening while Mr.. Outten
was away from home and one car
imagine his surprise when he re-
turned to find that his safe had been
taken bodily from his store building.
Some robbery this was and we take
off our hats to the perpetrators.
