CUMBERLAND. Md, September

returns were not in this morning.
shows some upsets. John Philip Hill,
for United States Senator, leads P.
f. Weller, who seeks denomination.
by over $50 in As of the SO precincts
reported. At the same time Multi
kin, the Weller candidate for gov
ernor, leads Humphreys. the Hill
candidate, by about $50. Representa-
tive Zihlman has a lead Of 2.1O0
over George Louis Eppler. Zihl-
man will lead by 5000 or 5000 in
the district, it is believed. William
A. Gunter, wet candidate for State
Senator, is about 450 ahead of Horace
P. Whiteworth, Westernport. backed
by the drys.
The drys have evidently put over
their legislative ticket with one ex-
ception. The nominees will likely be
Dando Harris; Jeffreys, Patterson
and Sleeman, backed by the drys,
and MacFarlane, Wet Kuhns and
Leeke, for whom the vets made a
fight, have evidently lost. as has
Robinette, dry. Harris was backed
by both factions.
A big Democratic vote was gotten
out to make a showing for Judge
William C. Walsh Of this city, candi-
date for the nomination for chief
judge, and Gov. Ritchie got the ad-
vantage of this. He leads Maloy by
over 5000, while Walsh Is ahead Of
Wachter, Hagerstown. by nearly
5000. Gov. Ritchie appointed Walsh
to the judgeship to fill vacancy
pending the election and the Walsh
hackers were solid behind the gov
ernor's campaign.
A disappointment to the Democratic
organization is the evident nomina-
ton Of Fay w. Kesher for sheriff.
He is an ex-boxer, who has fine
record with the Army in France. The
organization backed Walter T. Park
err, a veteran politician, at present
judge Of the Orphans Court and a
former county commissioner. The Re.
publican nominee for sheriff will be
William r. Harvey, who got wide
prominence as prohibition officer
and against whom the vets made a
decided stand. but he seems to have
swept all before him.

Wagon Drivers Union

At the last meeting of Trades Coun-
Gil the Milk Wagon Drivers Union
delegates reported their union having
signed agreements with five dairies
for three years with increase in wages
of So per week. The names of four
of the dairies appeared in the Press
Trades Council news, the name of the
McGreevy Dairy & Ice Co., by error
being omitted. The McGreevy dairy
has always been noted for it's extreme
friendship for organized labor and it
is regretted that its name was omitted
from the list last week. However,
union men and women of Hamilton
known where McGreevy stands on the
labor question, and it is certain no
harm came from the omission. The
milk wagon drivers are glad, however,
to take this means of correcting any
misunderstanding that may have re-
suited therefrom.

other funds for the purpose. He fur
ther said: sTo hold that even after
the expenditure of the $525,00O in the
fund the city cannot generate and sell
to the city and its inhabitants thereof
electrical energy at less cost or at
the same cost that it can be secured
by private contract, would be usurping
the function and discretion of city
authorities" He therefore sustains
the demurrer of the city.
In other words, Judge Risinger
holds that the people have SOME
RIGHTS even though they don't suit
a few.
But don't think that the fight is over
yet. Not by blamed sight; there
are still several courts to appeal to
and the plum is too juicy to give up
so easily. And then again, the big
point, as held by the Press at the
time of filing the suit, don't forget it,
is delay.
