DEMOCRATS ARE
LINING UPFOR
PRIMARY FIGHT
Slate Of Progressive" Faction
Now Practically Complete,
Though Not Formally An.
nounced, Is Headed BY John
dep. Douw For State Senate.
ORGANIZATION" SEEMS
TO BE HOLDING OFF

With every passing Tuesday now-a-
days. when political clansmen are ac-
customed to foregather in Annapolis
II is becoming more and more appar.
ent that the season for political slate
making in Anne Arundel county is
fast approaching. In fact, one ten-
tative slate is said to be pretty well
up in the making as the result of
a meeting in Annapolis yesterday of
a subcommittee OF the Progressive"
fac'ion OF the Democratic party. Fol-.
lowing more general meetings which
have been held from time to time
during the past couple OF months.
yesterdays meeting is said TO have
reached a more definite point than
any of the others, in that the sub-
committee made their suggestions n
TO the names to go on the factionai
ticket, or at least for the more i'm
portant Offices. 1t is said to he like-
ly that another general meeting will
be held in the near future to ratifv
the tentative suggestions made yes
terday.
How sProgresslvev Slate Locks
Although no formal announce
rnents have been made by those In
charge of the slate-making, It Is un.
derstood that IL the subcommittee
program is carried ont, the "Proeros-
slvc's" candidates for the principal
offices will be as follows. For state
Senator, John Dep. Douw. OF AnnADo-
lis; States Attorney, Hugh r. Riley.
or Annapolis; Register OF wills.
Charles L. Tate. OF the Third district: {:
Sheriff. Holland p. Watts, OF the
Fourth district, at present County
Commissioner from that district;
House of Delegates. Mrs. st. George
Barber. of the First district; W.
Meade Holiday, of Annapolis, and
James o. Atwell, of the Eighth dis
trict. In addition to these. there are
two other candidates for the House OF
Delegates and seven County Commits
sioners, the names of whom, however,
have not been stated.
Organization" Holding on IS.
So far. the preliminary meetings
have been confined to the Progress
sive" faction. as the Organization"
forces do not seem to have made any
attempt toward slate-making of their
own. However, that the political pot
in the county will soon be boiling Is
regarded as certainty. even taking
precedence in time over the municipal
situation in Annapolis. although the
city primaries are only about two
months off. This July a complete
municipal ticket will have to be elect
ed, but so far neither the Republicans
nor the Democrats seem to have paid
much attention to the question Of can
Cidates.
