BALTIMORE, Aug. 16.-No one
section of Maryland could today
boast of having corner on politi-
cal activity. In nearly every por-
ton of the State candidates for
the primary elections recounted
the trouble with their opponents;
new candidates for county offices
sprang up and political clubs
swung their support to this or that
job-seeker.
In Taneytown, Harry w. Nice,
candidate for the Republican
gubernatorial nomination, asserted
that he would be the next COVER
nor of Maryland. He promised an
honest administration if chosen
for the post.
Word came from Rockville that
Montgomery county Republicans
are battling over the gubernatorlal
nomination of their party.
One faction sponsors Mr. Nice,
while another favors Senator
Phillips Lee Goldsborough, whose
friends have been doing much
campaigning lately.
Lawrence Lockwood, aspirant
for the Democratic nomination
for State Senator from the
Fifth District, declared in a
speech here last night that
opponents are circulating a false
rumor that he will withdraw
from the race.
Headquarters of the Ritchie-for-

On the way back to Wash

The origin of its name? OF
