With q campaign made largely up
on dead" issues as the result OIL the
"wetness'' of the Baltimore paper
! and one that had apparently hao
/ really little in it to arouse the inter-

nor death does not depend upon the
question of the teapot tempest that
ra ges in four or five Eastern States,
in almost everyone of which it looks
as if the dry candidates will be sue
cessful, the primary election is be-
ing held throughout Maryland touay.
The average citizen is much more
interested in living issues thah III
dead ones and questions as to orlns-
ing back business to normalcy, the
return of a six work day week, the
restoration of the price OF asrlCui-
tural products to point Where lhey
will yield the farmer a proht, the
cutting down of needless expenses Oh
the government which are amount
ing to hundreds of millions OF dol-
lars a year, despite the fact tnat the
war which was the excuse for th"Hl
has been over four years, the return
of prosperity, all of these are issues
over which people might have De-
come excited, but these have been
dwarfed and put into the back
ground while a lot of bankers VINO
hold warehouse certificates for liquor
bonds and other obligations of brew
cries and distillers are clamoring lot
some method of getting back their
money.
Upon the Democratic side it looks
as if Hon. William Cabell Bruce Will
easily win the nomination for United
States Senator Mr.. Bruce's sup
porters claim that he will carry nine-
teen out of the twenty-three ccun-
ties of the state and that he will car
~ every ward in Baltimore City Mr.
Lewis is expected to carry four coun-
ties while Senator Norris is not ex-
pected to carry single county nor
Legislative district of Baltimore. 1t
is believed that Congressman T. Alan
Goldsborough will easily win re-
nomination over his two opponents,
Col Albert w. Sisk of Preston ana
Alexander M. Jackson, of SALISBURY.
both of whom are classed as wet
candidates.
Upon the Republican side until a
week or two ago it looked very mucn
as United States Senator France
would have a walk over in the con-
test with the Hon. John w. Garrett,
but within the past week the sltua-
ton has somewhat changed and 1t
now looks as if Mr.. Garrett has
chance. In Dorchester county there
is a battle royal between the two ne
publican factions, that led by Tor
mer Congressman Andrews and the
old Phillips Medford-Marin com
bine, which is now lead by States At
torney Marine. The Marine forces
claim that thly are going to carry
the COUNT By a good majority this.
too, in spite of the feet that former
Clerk of tt e Court William H. Med
ford and Col. Alhanus Philips, two
of the most militant members of the
faction ar9 allied with Congressman
Andrews in the present contest aid
that many of the friends of thesa
two are taking no part in the fight.
A telephone message from Sails
bury this morning stated that the
Garrett people were completely over
whelming the Jackson forces who are
manag ing the fight of the France
forces in that county. In the event
that the Adkins forces which are
lighting the National Committeeman
Jackson are successful in Wlcomlco
it looks as if there would be new
grouping of Republican leaders on
the Shore and that former Senator
Jackson would likely retire from
politics.
