Evening capital. [volume] (Annapolis, Md.) 1922-1981, 1922-09-12

ce:ved a plurality OF 10 votes, getting
ia TO l55 for Bruce and 81 for Norris.
The sum total OF the balloting
showed that Bruce received. approx
mately. $50 moro votes in the county
than 10th his opponents put together
In other words. his majority is placed
at, approximately, that figure. How
eves, it will take the ofiicial canvass
OF ballots on Thursday next to get
the exact figures.
IT tho meantime, political observ-I
ers throughout the county are check
ing up on the results and taking stock
of the significant victory shown by
them. Bruce had the solid "Organi-
cation" support, while the Progress
siye" faction generally committed it
self to Lewis in the earlier stages of
tho campaign and held several public
meetings in his behalf throughout the
county. The returns show that Bruce
carried every district In the county
except the Eighth which went for
Lewis by plurality OF 10. Norris did
not carry any precinct In the county
2ss Majority In Third
While Mr.. Lewis made most cred
table run, he was out-distanced in
every district in the county, notably
In the Third district, where the OR
ganization" fight. led by former
Sheriff Frank S. Reyell and former
Senator Frank NJ. Duvall, resulted in
clear Bruce majority OF 2S3 for the
District This was the banner dis
trict OF the county for Bruce. The
Second Ward o. Annapolis likewise
made a conspicuous showing for
Bruce, giving him 215 votes to 65 for
Lewis and SO for Norris The latter
polled 90 votes in the Third Ward to
los for Bruce and SO for Lewis, thus
showing that the radical wet" vote
went solidly to- Norris and played a
considerable part in the returns in
Annapolis. The showing made by Mr..
Bruce is considered all the more re-
markable in that he had a two cor
nered fight against him.--the out. and
out "drys" supporting Lewis. and the
ont and out "wets" supporting Nor
rls. At that. however. his clear ma
iority over both OF them was, approxi-
mately. $50 in the county, as above
stated.
County's 6,Delegates For Bruce
AS the result sof the election the
following six delegates will represent
the county at the State convention to
he held in Baltimore on Thursday, the
21st instant: George CROMWELL
Thomas A. Murray. Emma A. Gage
James S. Smith, Mrs. Clarence M.
White and John dep. Douw These
six delegates were the only ones who
tiled their names with the Supervisors
OF Elections. and by previous agree
ment and also by the requirements OF
the law. the entire sir votes Of the
county will be cast for Bruce. al
though the last three OF the delegates
were named on the part OF the PRO
gressive" wing OF the. party at the
time OF filing. This agreement was
made between the two factions so as
to avoid the necessity OF putting extra
names on the ballots. and to make IL
necessary for the voters simply to put
cross mark opposite the name OF
his choice for Senator without being
confused by any number Of delegates.
These names. therefore. did not ap-
pear on the ballot at yesterdays cleo
ton.
France Wins Easily
On the Republican side. Senator
Joseph I. France made a runaway
race out OF II in Anne Arundel coun-
ty, winning over his opponent for the
G. o. p. senatorial nomination. John
W.. Garrett, by approximately three-to-
one. and giving to the present senior
senator from Maryland the county's
six votes In the Republican state con-
vention. The Republicans had no con-
test for the nomination to Congress
from the Fifth District, and interest
here among Republicans was conferred
solely on the fight between France and
Garrett for the Senate.
