1t is on Essex county, with its
twelve assemblymen to be elected,
that the political leaders of the state
slate in Essex county can be re-
turned, democrats believe that suf-
hcient assemblymen can be elected
in the other counties to swing a
democratic majority. In 1922 the
republicans carried all assemblymen
in Essex.
Democratic victory in the state
senate is regarded as a political i'm
possibility. inasmuch as to gain con-
troll of the upper house the demo-
Gratis would have to return all of
the eight senator's to be elected. OF
these eight places. seven were filled
by republicans in the 1922 senate.
However, in Camden former United
States Senator David Baird, republi-
can leader. is expected to face stiff
opposition, while Senator Case of
Somerset has also faced a strong
fight by the democrats.

V0TELESS DISTRICT
WATCHES ELECTION
Commuters Envied as They
Go to Maryland and vir-
ginia Polls.

Just across the boundary line of the
District of Columbia the free peoples OF
Maryland and Virginia, assisted by
fortunate handful of commuters from
Washington, today are busy balloting
TO determine who their governing Of
ficers shall be for another term.
Skies gray with mist. though they
cast gloom over the whole dripping
countryside, found no reflection in the
beaming faces of those few enfran-
chised Washingtonians who marched
proudly up to the polls and asserted
their rights as free Americans by means
of the ballot.
Many Washingtonians have never
experienced the thrill that comes with
participating in real. honest-to-
goodness election: many. many more
have been obliged to forget it ever
since they immigrated into the Dis
trict of Columbia from the states.
Nearby Election Precincts.
In Maryland the vote of Washing
ton workers was most noticeable to-
day in Hyattsville, Rockville. Be
thesda, Mount Rainier and similar
localities that are suburban to this
city. Clarendon. Rosslyn. Cherrydale.
Fort Myer Heights. Ballston and Ar
lington claimed the largest District
registration in Virginia. Most of the
hundreds of government workers who
live in Alexandria are native-born
Firginians.
Today's elections in both Maryland
and Virginia are highly important.
The biggest contest in Maryland is
for the governorship. Gov. Albert c.
Ritchie, who is running for re-elec-
ton on the democratic ticket. ruled a
favorite this morning over his repub-
lican opponent, Alexander Armstrong.
In addition the people are selecting their
county officers and delegates to the
state Legislature.
Road Bonds Chief Issue.
Perhaps the most important issue
to Virginia as a whole. is the vote on
the S50.000,000 road bond project. The
only fights for state officers are for
positions on the state corporation
commi sSion. Arlington county had a
candidate in that race. j. Cloyd Byers.
Local officers are the only other po-
sitions to be voted on today.
Despite inclement weather, voting
IN Maryland and Virginia townships
adjacent to Washington was reported
to be heavier than usual. Women
turned out this morning in uneNpect-
