NO DELEGATES ON
OFFICIAL BALLOT
Democrats Avoid Contest-Each
Faction To Have Three
In Convention

There will be no contest within the
ranks of Anne Arundel Democrats for
delegates to the State Convention, at
the primary election ito be held on
September IL.
This was indicated in the columns
OF The Evening Capital last week
when the. time limit for filing certifi-
Gates of candidacy with the Board of
Supervisors of Elections expired. The
delegates to the convention will be:
On behalf of the Organization"
faction, supporting the candidacy of
William CaLell Bruce for the Senate.

For the Progressive" faction, sup
porting former Congressman David ].
Lewis: Mrs. Clarence NJ. White, Sec

polls, and James S. Smith, Fifth dis
trict.
No delegates had filed in behalf of
the candidacy of State Senator Will
liam /. Norris. of Baltimore city, and
apparently there is no organized sup
port for him in the county.
Vote For Candidates Only
When the time limit for candidates
to file expired, there was pending
tentative agreement to avoid a con-
test for delegates, in that the "Organi-
zation" and Progressive" factions
should each have delegates, thereby
completing the full quota of SIX, Sc

he left clear-cut as between Bruce
Lewis and Norris in the race for the
Senatorship nomination. Seven "Or-
agnization" and four Progressive"
convention delegates had filed, but the
proposed agreement has since been
consummated by Withdrawals, so that
the delegates will be those named
above, but their names will not ap-
pear on the ballot.
With the necessity of voting for dele
gates thus avoided. matters have
been greatly simplified. so that all the
voter will now have to do will be tc
place the cross mark opposite the
name of the candidate of his or her
preference for Senator. 1t will also
mean a time-saving in counting the
ballots. All six of the delegates des-
ignated will be required to vote

Of whom there are four in the Demo-
crat contest, the electorate will vote

Southern Ireland
Holds Election
For Parliament

DUBLIN, June 16-The voters of
Southern Ireland went to the polls to-
day to elect an Irish parliament as
provided under the terms of the Ang-
lo-Irish treaty.
Under the recent agreement be-
tween the factions favoring and op-
posing the treaty a coalition panel
of candidates was presented to the
people appertaining representation in
the parliament at approximately the
same ratio as shown in past tests OF
strength in the ,Dail Eireann.
A number of Independents, how
ever, have entered the field in an at
tempt to overturn the panel in the
treaty issue and it was on this phase
of the struggle that interest mainly
centered as the polling began.
Publication last night of the terms
of the draft of the Irish constitution
on which the new parliament must
pass was not expected to Influence the
vote. The comment of the Dublin
morning newspapers today is mostly
favorable to the constitution.

NAVY CREW DRAWS
OUTSIDE COURSE IN
POUGHKEEPS|E RACE

Coach Richard Glendon Yesterday
gave his Naval Academy crew one OF
Tho hardest routines of work since
they have begun special preparations
for the Poughkeepsie regatta. hav-
ing the crew out for long spins both
morning and afternoon. The longest
session was in the afternoon. and that
viii lie the rule from now on, as the
race at Poughkeepsie will lie rowed
late in the afternoon.
Everyi ody connected with rowing
was interested in the decisive victory
OF Washington over Wisconsin. 1t is
felt that these will be three danger
Gus opponents in Cornell. Syracuse
and Washington, and that the race
should lie one Cf the best OF the his
toric series. Cornell, which is re-
garded as the midshipmen's closest
rival, has drawn tho fourth position,
while the Navy is fifth. Syracuse is
first, that being considered the most
advantageous position If the wind is
from the northwest Columbia is sec
ond. Washington third and Pennsyl-
vania sixth.
In all, the Navy crew put in from
l6 to Is miles of rowing yesterday
afternoon, Glendon taking the crew
three miles above the railroad bridge.
The oarsmen average about three
pounds over weight, and Glendon ex-
poets to get them down to racing
weight before they leave Annapolis,
which will be on the twenty-flrst.
