The sequel came when he

Fields trailed by 241 votes in the
other precincts and his friends had
given up hope. Dramatically the
returns from Arlington showed 367
to 279 in favor of Fields, and the
Del Ray poll of $50 for Fields and
ITO for Clements decided the issue.
Fields plurality was 1877. Two
other candidates were in the race
a Republican and an independent
but their polling was negligible.
Clements and Fields, in the lat
ter stages of the campaign, staged
an old-fashioned mud.slinging con-
test.
Fields friends were angered when
Clements published an "open let
ter" in the Clarendon Chronicle
charging Fields with every possible
shortcoming in office and stating
in unmistakable terms what the
writer thought of his opponent.
Fields retaliated in kind and the
battle was on.
In the only other close fight IN
the county, William c. Cloth, COM
monwealth's attorney, was reelected
by the slim plurality of approx
mately 200 over Walter U. Varney,
corporation counsel for the town
Of Potomac, running as an Inde-
pendent.
Amos B. Grouse, Independent,
and Edgar W. Humphrey, Re-
publican, also ran.

Ball led Ely by more than to 1

VICTOR BY
MILLION
By GEORGE Z. HOLMES

Offyear election results IN a
dozen States were put under
the political microscopes in
Washington today, as party
leaders strove to discern
trends" that will aid them in
shaping their plans for the real
serious business Of 1928.
The most outstanding result,
from a national standpoint, ap-
pears to be the waning power
of the Anti-Saloon League as
a dominant force in a number
Of States.
The league went down to a
smashing defeat in Ohio, the State
of its nativity, through the voters
rejection Of the Marshall bill-a
measure which would permit liquor
law violators to be hauled before
local justices of the peace and
dealt with in rural fashion on a
fee basis.
The League fathered the bill and
staked its not uncomfortable po!iti-
cal prestige in Ohio upon it.
BeaNen By $4,000
Results today indicate that Buck
eye voters have turned thumbs
down on the leagues pet measure
