ELKToN. Nd, Nov. 9-Normally
Democratic. Cecil County torn by
factional fights within the party
made it possible for several Repu-
blicans to secure Office in the BIZ
annual county election yesterday
From the totals it could easily be
seen that there was considerable
splitting of the tickets. On strict
party lines Cecil County has Demo-
cratic majority of about 1900.
The Republicans succeeded in
electing a member to the House Of
Delegates, both the long and short
term county commissioners and the
sheriff, while the Democrats secured
majority for State Comptroller.
State Senator, two members of the
House of Delegates, Register of
Wills, Treasurer and Assistant
Treasurer. Although the Democrats
/ secured the major portion OF the Of
fees, it was considered a moral vic
tory for the Republicans for it has
not been in recent years that they
have been able to make such a
strong showing.
grudge battle was the fight for
Sheriff. An organized move by the
Democrats was on to prevent T. Wes-
ley McAllister from being elected
for his stand at the primaries Many
of his Republican friends came tc
his aid and Republicans were voting
for a Democrat and Democrats were
voting for a Republican. Kirk E
Clifford, the Republican candidate
became the choice for the Office b,
almost 900 majority.
One Of the remarkable feature
of the election was the great rui
made by Charles H. Reckefus, tn
Republican candidate for long tern
county commissioner in his hom
district. Mr.. Reckefus lives in Por
Deposit, in the Seventh distric
which also takes in Perryville, wher
he is employed. Normally 1t is Dem
