Both Are Residents of Oakland
Former Senator Speicher an
AyOwed Candidate for Senate

Politics these latter days pre-
ceding the Statewide primary
election to be held on September
14th, are beginning to warm up
and candidates who have put off
from day to day to anne dnce
their intentions, are bestirring
themselves to get their names
before the people prior to the
close of the books, which, ac-
cording to information given out
at the Supervisors office will
be Saturday for State candidates
and Monday, the 23d inst. for
purely local or county candi-
dates.
The latest aspirants to make for
NAL announcement of their candidacy
are Messrs. Arthur Lawton and Albert
Markley, both of Oakland. The office
they seek is that of members of the
House of Delegates. Garrett county
is entitled to three members in this
law-making body. At this time there
are three aspirants and if no others
appear the contest for place will not
be considered in the primary cleo
ton. Messrs. Lawton and Markley
announce their candidacy in The Re-
publican today.
Mr.. Lawton, should he be success
full in his aspirations, will not be en-
tirely new to Legislative mannerisms
and duties. He served at recent SEES
of the House as assistant clerk and
for month Chief Clerk of that body.
AS resident of Oakland he has been
identified with various business enter
prises. Until recently he was active
in the management of the Lawton
Electrical Company, but for the past
several months, following an opera
ton for appendicitis from which he
has not entirely recovered, he has
been unable to give the business much
of his personal attention.
Mr.. Markley, as resident of Crel-
lin, represented the county in the
lower house three years ago at which
time he was elected by large major
ity and his service to his constituents
was satisfactory. Mr.. Markley re-
Gently moved to Oakland fror. Crel-
lin and has been engaged in selling in
surance since his residence here.
Former Senator Harvey J. Speicher

when he made an informal announce
ment of his candidacy for the Repub-
lican nomination for State Senate. His
