SHERIFF, MAKES SWEEP

Later returns OF the vote cast IN
yesterdays primary election in
Anne Arundel county indicate that
there will be some decided changes
in. the results as compared to the
reports received at an early hour
this morning Returns have come
in in suchsa fragmentary way that
il is impossible to give the definite
result, or anything by way OF
tabulation of figures, but what
Ehave been received are sufficient to
indicate that the Organization"
and Progressive, forces have di-
vided the spoils.
WaltOn's Decisive Victory
The contest of chief interest
throughout the entire county was that
waged here in Annapolis for the
County Commissionership from this
district, between James A. Walton.
backed by the Organization" forces.
and John NJ Taylor, by the "Progres-
sives." The result was notable vic
| tory for Mr.. Walton, who carried the
city by the decisive margin of one
hundred and fifty. The banner ward
! for him was the Second. wherein both
he and Mr.. Taylor reside, the victor's
margin there being 122. In the First
: Ward it was 72 and in the Fourth

dicted by Mr. Taylors supporters that
he would come through with major
| ity big enough to nominate him, the
Landslide failed to materialize, al
though Mr.. Taylor did receive the siz-
able majority of 50 votes. Walton's
combined majority in the First, Seq
ond and Fourth Wards was 219 and
Taylor's majority-69-in the Third
Ward, leaving Walton's majority In
the city $50.
The victorious candidate came in
for hearty rounds of congratulation
today, not only from his many active
4 supporters, but from citizens gener-
ally who have all along been, con-
I vinced of his special fitness for ad-
ministering the affairs of the Office to
which he has again been re-nomi-
mated. The opinion seems to be gen.
eral that a large contributing factor
in swelling the size OF Mr.. Walton's
majority was the spirited reaction In
his favor that came after the adoption
of campaign tactics against him based
on insinuation and petty factionalismf
This reaction seemed to be specially
noticeable within the last day or two.
and made itself felt at the polls by
many voters, who resented the char
acter of the propaganda employed
against Mr.. Walton.
Organization" Men For House
The election of four of the "0rgani-
zation" candidates for the House or
Delegates is practically certain, name
ly, Allen Bowie Howard, George E.
RuIlman. both of whom made excep-
tionally strong runs in Annapolis and
in several of the Districts Dorsey j.
Dunlap and James F. Baldwin; the
other member being doubtful be-
tween Frank o. Knopp and W. Meade
; Holiday, with the chances favoring
; the latter, who was backed by the
"Progressives." The "Progressives"
; claim a majority on the Board OF
County Commissioners, and James i.
Cox has apparently beaten r. Harry
Arnold. the "Organization" candidate
for Sheriff c. Albert Hodges, fpr
County Treasurer, wen in a walk, as
had been expected as he was indorsed
by both. wings of the party.

On the Republican side, Harry 7,
Levely. of Annapolis, candidate FOL
Sheriff, opened the eyes of the three
factions opposed TO him by sweeping
the county with the single exception
of the second district. Levely cleaned
