Arouse Interest
Rockville, Gaithersburg, TakOma
Park, Garrett Park, Glen
Echo, Somerset And Ken
singtOn Vote

Municipal elections in seven Mont
gomery county towns will arouse in
terest and keep the political mill stir
ring until the county primary pro-
vides climax. If no primary is forth
coming in the county race because Of
the Fusion ticket, then the only major
development will occur next Novem-
Der. ~
Voters of Montgomery's seven
towns will go to the polls during May
and June to name mayors and coun-
cilmen to guide their destinies during
the ensuing two-year period.

Park, Garrett Park, Glen Echo and
Somerset will conduct their local cleo
tions on May Z, while balloting at
Kensington is scheduled for June A.
Little talk has been heard regard
ing candidates entering the elections,
but this cannot be taken as any indi-
cation that the races will not be
closely contested, for the municipal
campaigns seldom get under way un-
til the eleventh hour, !.
It is expected that the hottest fight
will be waged at Takoma Park, the
largest municipality in the county,
with the Young Mems Democratic
Club planning to enter full slate in
the field.
The Democratic candidates will be
selected at the April meeting of the
club some two weeks hence and are
to be formally announced at the town
caucus scheduled for the fire house
on April 90.
Only two men have been mentioned
thus far as possible new candidates
for Office. 1t is said at Gaithersburg
that Walter Magruder, former mayor
of that community, may become a
candidate for the position of mayor
now held by William McBain, while
the name of E. Lamar Kelly is being
mentioned as a prospective candidate
for the Town Council of Rockville to
succeed Cooke Robertson.
In addition to McBain, the mayors
whose terms expire this year are
Douglas M. Blandford, Rockville; DR..
Frederick L. Lewton, Takoma Park;
Alfred L. Geiger, Kensington; Capt.
L. L. Dye, Garrett Park; Henry T.
McCuen, Glen Echo, and J. w. Stohl-
man, who has been mayor of Somer-
set for Is years.
Rockville voters must elect a COM
plete Town Council, for the term Of
Thomas M. Anderson, Edgar Reed,
Cooke A. Robertson and Curtis L.
Ward expire along with the term Of
Mayor Blandford.
Other towns will elect only part
of their councils, for several members
of the governing bodies of the re-
naming communities will hold over
another year. Those whose terms ex-
pire are:
