F. E. MATTINGLY, OF
CHARLES, ALSO ACTIVE

With the primary election Just a lit
tie more than three weeks hence.
politics is beginning to reach the ALL
absorbing topic state-to use a stereo-
type phrase-especially among the
Democrats OF Anne Arundel county.
for in addition to the three-cornered
fight for the nomination to the United
States Senate. there is also a Con-
gressional nomination contest on
hand. with several candidates in the
running. The latter, in fact, will draw
quite as much interest and jockeying
as will the Senatorial contest
Prospect OF Unity Fades
That there is no chance of Demo-
cratic unity in the pending cam
paign is indicated by the action of the
progressive" faction on Thursday in
lndorsing the candidacy of David ].
Lewis for the Senatorship. As hith-
erto stated. the leaders of this fac
ton took no action as regards the
Congressional contest, and as to
which candidate they will line their
forces behind is open to speculation.
although they are said to lean to-
wards Dorsey ]. Dunlap, of Anne
Arundel. 4 member of the House OF
Delegates from this county.
The forces of the party known as
the Organization" have made no for
NAL move thus far, but sentiment OF
a number of men and women promi-
nent in the ranks has been sounded.
and 1t is generally believed that their
support will go TO w. Cabeil Bruce
for the Senatorship. and Clarence M.
Roberts for the Congressional nomi-
nation.
Four Active Candidates
There are no fewer than four candi-
dates in the field for the nomination
to Congress. These, in addition to
Roberts, are Francis f. Mattingly. OF
Charles county; Dorsey ]. DUNLAP. OF
Anne Arundel; DR.. John W Klenm, O,
Prince Georges county. Mr. Hartley
Hellyer, of Prince Georges, has de-
clared himself as an Independent can
didate and has filed petition with the
Secretary OF State to have his name
placed as such on the official ballot
for the November election.
Mr.. Mattingly, the Charles county
candidate, who was a member of the
House of Delegates at the late legis-
lative session. and is moving actively
among the Democrats of the district.
paid another visit to Annapolis yes
to-day, and met number OF local
party men. Mr. Mattingly, IL is stat
ed, has the united support of the
party in Charles county, and entered
the fight largely through assurances.
1t is asserted that, IL nominated, his
chances OF defeating the Republican
opponent, Mudd, whose home county
is Charles, are mighty bright Friends
of Mr.. Mattingly also claim to have
much support from Democrats in the
Baltimore city wards that are within
the district, regardless of the fact that
the city leaders have declared for Mr..
Roberts, and also that he will get
much support from the other southern
Maryland counties.
Mr.. Roberts was also a member of
the last Legislature, and was former
ly States Attorney of Prince Georges
county. He is in close touch with
party affairs, and took an active part
in new legislation enacted.
The entry of Mr.. Dunlap, OF this
county, into the fight appears to be
without much organized support, al
though he is now busily engaged with
his campaign among the voters Ce
Southern Maryland.
