LEE SEES VICTORY
FOR TICKET BY 5000
Montgomery Administration
Leader Forecasts Democrat
ic Success-LeWis to Lead.

SILVER SPRING, Md, November 3.
"A Democratic victory tomorrow in
Montgomery County by a majority of
5000 votes was forecast today by Maj.
E. Brooke Lee, administration leader
and chairman Of the State Democratic
Campaign Advisory Committee.
Maj. Lee selected David j. Lewis,
candidate for the House of Representa-
tives from the sixth Maryland congress
sional district, to lead the Democratic
ticket in Montgomery County. 1t Is
conceded generally that Lewis will not
be opposed by the anti-organization or
Progressive faction of the Democratic
party in the general election. He was
the almost unanimous choice of the
party in the primary September 3.
Text Of Statement.
Mai. Lees statement follows:
Existing countrywide public sentt-
ment seems more certainly to approve
the continuation of the county admins
tration than in any general election
campaign in the past
THE taxpayers generally fear the
governmental chaos that would follow
the election Of the present opposition
ClcKeC WIN us support ITOIu groups OI
voters who differ so widely. The people
of Montgomery County are convinced
that the county now enjoys the best
government Of any suburban section
that they know about. They will not
risk a change.
IT believe that the State and county
administration candidates will carry
suburban Montgomery County by more
than 1000 majority and will carry the
northern county by more than 1000.
The average county administration ma
jority will be more than 5000 votes.
Kensington and possibly Rockville look
like our only bad Districts.
Calls ZihNman Weak.
"Zihlman is weaker than ever before.
The voters regard his difficulties as Of
his own making and are not Sympa-
thetic Zihlman Is reported strong only
in the business section of Cumberland
City.
David ]. Lewis will lead his ticket in
Montgomery, Washington and Frederick
Counties with substantial majority in
each county and has a decided edge on
Zihlman to carry the Western Maryland
district. -
"Ritchie and his State running mates
will sweep Maryland by more than
5000 majority, or more than the 1926
majority Of 81 ,0D0."

CLOSE VOTING SEEN
IN MONTGOMERY
Leaders of Both Sides Are
Claiming Maiorities in
Election.
BY a stan Correspondent of The Star.

BY stan Correspondent of The Star.
ROCKVILLE, Md, November g.
Montgomery County will go to the polls
tomorrow to decide whether 1t will con-
tinue in power the organization which
has been identified with the county gov
eminent for IL years or turn the af-
fairs Of the county over to the Repub-
lican candidates
Both Democratic and Republican
leaders predict success for their tickets
and quote figures to substantiate their
contentious. Maj. E. Brooke Lee, ad-
ministration leader, places the probable
Democratic majority at 5000 votes,
while Paul Sleman, chairman of the
Republican State Central Committee in
Montgomery County, thinks his party
will be victorious by $500 votes.
See Close Election.
Political observers not intimately
connected with either party say the
election will be close. AS proof of this
they point to the vote in previous years.
Since the present Democratic organiza-
ton gained control of the county. in
1919, the majorities by which its can
didates have been elected to Office have
been small.
In 1919 there was a split ticket, with
Willis B. Burdette and Thomas L. Daw-
son, both Republicans, being elected
State Senator and States attorney. re-
spectively.
The next election, in 1921, again saw
a split ticket, but with the Republicans
losing ground In that year Hiram
Harvey, a Republican. was chosen
county commissioner, with his running
mates on the Republican ticket losing
by from 40 to 500 votes.
In 1923 there was a clean sweep
for the Democrats, who gained every
county office by an average majority
of 800 votes Three years later there
was a repetition of the 1928 election,
with the same approximate majority.
G. o. p. Won Two Years Ago.
The Republicans were victorious in
the presidential fight two years ago
by almost $500 votes. This election,
however, is not being taken as in
dicative Of the relative strength of the
two parties in q county or State cam
paign.
This year finds each party claiming
split in the others forces. Demo-
Gratis say 40 per cent of the Repub-
lican vote in suburban Montgomery
County will go for the Democratic
candidates. Republican leaders admit
that there will be some detection, but
say it will be slight.
Republicans point to the bitterness
OF the recent Democratic primary and
argue that wounds inflicted at that
time have not healed and will result
in between 1000 and 5000 progressive
Democrats voting Republican. County
administration leaders counter with
the statement that the great majority
of the progressives will be swayed by
party loyalty and vote the Democratic
ticket. 1t is admitted. however, that
many progressive leaders will align
themselves at the polls with the Re
publicans.

Final efforts on the part Of opponents

that the proposed change is being ad-

Such an assertion, the statement
says, is based upon the personal as

as a matter of fact, the question of
leadership is decided by the people

believes that these might better be
called county leaders, since they were
elected by the people to the Offices

In support of this contention, they
declare that the only Office holders who
have come out in active support of the
change are State Senator Frank L. Ball

The statement further reiterates the
stand that the change must result in
an increase in cost of government. since
under the new form no additional
means Of raising revenue other than
those now employed are provided for,
while the methods Of governing under
the new plan are such as to require adj
ditional funds with which to administer
them.
without questioning the sincerity Of
Senator Balls interest in Arlington

be remembered that he represents all

his actions in behalf of legislation af-
fecting this section as whole leave lit

is for the eventual combination of this

government is a step toward the cul-
mination of his desires in this respect.
