R|TCH|E SOON TO
NAME PETERS
SUCCESSOR
Maryland Governors Appoint
ment May Be Nominated
for Full Term.

ROCKVILLE, Nd. Aug. 27.-The
people of Montgomery county are
awaiting with keen interest the ap.
pointment by Governor Richie OF
an associate Judge of the sixth.
judicial circuit. composed of Fred
erick and Montgomery Counties. 10
succeed the late Judge Edward e.
Peter.
whoever is named by the gov
erI1or will serve under the appoint
.ment until the November election,
when a Judge will be elected for "A
full term of fifteen years.
Early Appointment Expected.
The law requires that Judge
Peters successor be a resident OF
Montgomery county. Robert -.
Peter, brother of Judge Peter; Pres
ton B. Ray, clerk of the circuit
court; William r.. Prettyman, mem
Der of the firm of Talbot and
Prettyman; former States Attorney
Albert M. Bouic and John A. Gar
rett are regarded as available. ana
the Democratic state Central Com
n:ittee for the county is expected
to ask Governor Ritchie to appoint
one of the five. but which one has
not been indicated. The appoint
ment will, it is thought. be made
at very early date. probably some
time next week.
If Governor Richie appoints the
choice Of the Democratic commit
tee, as is thought probable, the one
named, it is said, will undoubtedly
be the Democratic nominee for the
full term. The time for filing with
the supervisors of elections GER
tificates of candidacy for nomir1a-
lions having expired, the nomina-
ton will. as provided by the pri-
mary election law, have to be made
by the State Central Committee.
May Have No Opposition.
If the Democrats select a man
the Republicans consider of the
right type, there is believed to be
a strong probability that the Re-
publicans viii, make no nomination
against him, inasmuch as influen-
tial Democrats of this and .Freder-
lex counties are understood to be
very much inclined to discourage
any attempt to put Democratic
candidate in the field when CnleL
Judge Hammond Urner. who is q
Republican. is up for reelection.
The Supervisors of Elections have
given formal notice that Democratic
and Republicans primary elections
will be held in this county on Mon
day, September 10, to nominate can
didates for offices to be filled at
