BALTIMORE, September 13.-"l
IRA absolutely confident not only of
Asfeating Senator Weller in the pri-
mary tomorrow, but of carrying our
entire ticket, including Marion A.
Humphreys for governor. William r.
Broening for attorney general and A.
Kingsley Love for clerk of the Court
of Appeals" declared Representative
John Philip Hill this morning.
"I have just finished checking up
on reports from the county and Balti-
more city and there is no doubt in
my mind as to the outcome OF the vote
tomorrow.
Despite the fact that southern
Maryland has been flooded with anony-
nous communications, sent out from
Washington, rejecting on the candi-
dates OF our ticket. especially Mr..
Love. he will carry southern Mary
land, including Prince Georges Coun-
ty, the home of his opponent, Mrs.
Eva c. Chase AS is usually the case,
these communications have reacted
10 our benefit and Mr.. Love will win
by big majority.
Sees Statewide Victory.
Not only will we carry our entire
State ticket throughout, we will also
win with our congressional candidates
in the third congressional district of
Baltimore city, DR.. John ]. McGinity,
AS we'll as our other candidates for
State and city central committees.
In the absence of William H. Haller,
campaign manager for Senator Weller,
no statement could be secured at the
Weller headquarters.
,,o{{lon,- RifChin Will
liam NJ. Malloy. who is opposing him
for the Democratic nomination for
governor, Is making any claim as to
the outcome Of the primaries tOmOr-
row. it is generally accepted here by
politicians of both parties that Gov.
Ritchie will have little trouhGs in de-
feating his opponent. and the other
Statewide candidates have no oDpoSi-
ton. including Representative Millard
+. Tydings. who has announced his
candidacy for the United States Sen
ate.
The contest in Baltimore City will be
one of the bitterest fought here in
years, owing to the split between John
J. Mahon and Frank S. Kelly, the
acknowledged Democratic leader. who
are backing rival candidates for the
State Senate and Legislature.
Record Breaking Vote Expected.
A record breaking vote is looked for
in the city as. we'll as throughout the
State. and there is no doubt the vote
will be the heaviest ever cast in a
primary in Maryland. Thousands of
voters who usually stay away from
the polls in a primary election will
vote tomorrow, and the endorsement
Of William NJ. Malloy by the Anti
Saloon League will bring out a large
dry vote throughout the counties.
House-to-house campaigns are being
made today in Baltimore City by ward
workers of both parties and factions.
and autos will be provided to take the
voters to the polls tomorrow.
In the primary election no one can
vote who is not already on the regis
tration books with party affiliations.
The only exception to this is in the
case of persons who have become 81
years old since the last registration
in October, 1924. These, although un-
registered. may vote in the primary
by appearing at the polling place in
their districts and precincts and stat
ing their party affiliations. This also
applies to persons who will be 81 on
or before the general election on
November 2.
