BITTER PRIMARY
FIGHT APPROACHES
Both Republicans And Democrats
Now Hard AT Work For Their
Favorite Candidates.

The contest for the nomination fer
the United States Senate in both the
republican and democratic parties
now holds the centre of the political
stage and there is every indication
that the primaries will be hotly con-
tt sted, especially among the republi-
ems. The Democratic State Commit
tee will meet next week and by that
time it will be known whether there
will be more entries in the race on
that side, or whether Messrs. Norris
and Lewis will have the field to them
selves and be allowed to fight it ou5
t. finish.
Some of the democratic leaders are
hct satisfied to see the contest remain
as it is, and are using all their inf1u-
ence to persuade either Ex-Congress-
nan Coady or some other acceptable
an to enter the fight. Mr.. Coady
has said that the only condition or
which he will become candidate will
be with assurances of active support
en- the part of the City and County
leaders. In the meantime, regardless
of the wishes of these leaders, and
practically against their protes',
Messrs. Norris and Lewis are pushing
their campaign in all parts of the
State, and it is not any exaggeration
to say that many of the democratic
ward and precinct leaders are openly
encouraging Mr.. Norris in his fight
in the City wards, where his popu-
larity is increasing from day to day,
for the young President of the SEN
ate is an adept in winning supporters
among the rank and file of the City
voters both men and women.
As we said several weeks ago
he has many of the characteristics OF
the late Senator Arthur p. Gorman
which were the basis of the success
If that great leader in his early yeal e.
ut that time, more than forty years
ago, Mr.. Gorman's candidacy for the
United States Senate was frowned
upon by most of the leaders to {;
greater extent than the same class o.
leaders are now frowning upon the
candidacy of Mr.. Norris. Mr.. German
won out, despite the hostility of tE'
oId-time leaders of his day, and the
man he defeated was in his day one

TOMATO OUTLOOK
GOOD, SAYS SYMONS
U. M. Extension Service Head Finds
Growers Have Resumed On
Sound Basis.

That growers have resumed the
production of tomatoes for canning
purposes on conservative basis, fol-
lowing the disastrous market depres-
sion of the last two years, is indicated
in reports recently received by DIR.
Thomas B. Symons, Director of the
University of Maryland Extension
Service, from some of the principal
producing counties of the State.
Earlier in the season there was
some fear on the part of both growers
ard Gamers that reproduction
might follow the general slump OF
last year when many canneries
throughout the State were closed due
to the large stock Of canned tomatoes
or hand, according to DR.. Symons. 1t
was likewise thought possible, he
said, that many growers might plant
tomatoes without contracting for
their sale to Gamers and thus cause
uncertainty regarding the total crop.
"Reports now available, however,
point to conservative acreage con-
siderably below any planted durin3
the last four years with the exception
OF 1921" said DR.. Symons. Recent
rains have very materially damaged
the crop in many counties so that
yields will probably be twenty-five
per cent below normal production on
the reduced acreage.
"In addition the bulk of the toma, o
crop is under contract to Gamers at
satisfactory prices. Reports from
Cecil county are to the effect that 10
of the 1900 acres Of tomatoes in the
county remain uncontracted for.
Eighty per cent of the Hartford
county and ninety per cent of the
Kent county crops are under contract
and in Caroline and Somerset more
tran fifty per cent of the crops are
under contract to Gamers. In addi-
ton Somerset has less than 40 per
cent of a normal acreage.
"a careful estimate of the pros
poets for canning tomatoes is being
made. But it is believed that with
considerably less than normal yield
in sight and the bulk of the crop un-
der contract. prices will be fair and
the market continue good throughout
| the season."

u. S. Emergency Coal
Control Order Issued
Interstate Commerce Commission Gives Priority Shipments
OF Coal To Roads.-Uilities And Hospitals Next
