FusiOnists Win
Control OF The
AppOintive List
Patronage Handling Will Go To
Republican State Central
Committee

Fusionists will control the Board of
County Commissioners and thereby
have the say about most of the
patronage of the county, including the
county police and Liquor Control
Board. There will be three Democrats
on the board, as compared to two Re
publicans, but one Democratic mem
Der, Charles E. King, was Fusion
candidate. Richard H. Lansdale and
Robert Hagner are the two incum-
bents, both Democrats, who succeeded
in being named. Paul Coughlan and
Frank Karn are both Republicans.
Sheriff G. Eddington Bell locked
one Fusionist and one Democrat in
the Rockville courthouse top floor
Jail with the ballot boxes for the night
after vigorous protest had been
made by Coughlan, Fusion county
commissioner elect over the storing
of the boxes in the EVA offices in the
courthouse. ~
With Clayton X Watkins, clerk of
the circuit court, and F. Byrne Austin,
clerk of the board of election super
visors, the sheriff supervised the
transfer of the boxes from The EVA
Offices to the Jail.
Fusion and Democratic leaders
were squabbling over every doubt
full ballot as the heated counting got
under way, according to reports from
the room where the election returns
were being canvassed.
Together with the loss of State
prestige through the election of Harry
w. Nice, the election was hard blow
to county Democrats. State patronage
hereafter will be controlled through
the Republican State Central Commit
tee.

Walter Hampden Brings
Three Great Plays To
Ford's Theatre, Baltimore

Walter Hampden, presenting two
plays in which he has not appeared in
Baltimore in four years, "Richetieu"
and Hamlet" and third Macbeth"
in which he has not been seen here in
three times that long, is scheduled for
a half weeks engagement at Ford's
Theatre, Baltimore, beginning Thurs
day, November 18th.
Two of the four performances,
Thursday and Saturday nights, will
be devoted to "Richelieu," Friday
night will see the star in the inky
doublet and hose of his favorite role,
Hamlet, while at the Saturday matt
nee he will come forward in the kits,
tartans and horned helmet of CORY
Macbeth.
Practically alone today, Walter
Hampden is keeping alive the glorious
traditions of the English romantic
and classic drama, and this opportun-
ity for older playgoers to renew &C.
quaintance with plays which thrilled
them in their youth, and for the new
generation to meet them for the first
time, should be welcome.
Restoring Macbeth" to his roper
tory was happy thought on part of
the actor-manager, for this mighty
tragedy has been acted but infrequent-
ly during recent years, and it aroused
great interest wherever presented on
his transcontinental tour last season.

got over 800 votes and made the vic
tory of Lansdale appear assured at an
early stage of the counting.
Stedman Prescott easily beat John
Oxley for the State Senate. the local
Democratic party leader obtained a
majority of about 900. Next to Judge
Woodward and Davy Lewis, Clayton
Watkins, candidate for reelection as
Clerk of the Circuit Court, obtained
the highest number of votes in Mont
gomery. Ellington Bell won over Leon
ard Burns in the race for sheriff.
Hanson Cashell, another Democrat,
defeated the Fusion nominee. Thomas
D. Darby, for Register of Wills.
J. Forest Walker, Democratic in
cumbent, was returned as County
Treasurer. He defeated Ira Whitacre,
Fusion candidate. Charles j. Maddox,
Democrat, was unopposed for County
Surveyor.
Aside from the large vote cast at
the election Tuesday, another surpris-
ing feature of the result was the fact
that Takoma Park and Kensington
went Democratic for the first time Sin
a eoon's age" and yet the county fail
ed to profit by such political miracle.
There was plenty of splitting evidenc-
ed on both sides and in some cases it
materially affected the final TALES.
Because of the large ballot and the
intense race put on in many instances,
counting was slow at the heavier pre-
cincts. Bethesda precinct No. was
the last one to report, the finals COM
ing in from there about three o'clock
Thursday morning. Upon the results
from this voting place hinged the fate
of three or four candidates. Hagner
entered the precinct 1 vote ahead and
Pugh had majority of only 80.
Governor Richie carried the county
by thousand votes. The State ticket
ran generally far ahead of Richie.
But few people paid any attention to
the constitutional amendments and it
was impossible to get any line on re-
suits affecting them as far as the
county is concerned. Reports from the
State say that the proposed increased
pay for members of the legislature
has been beaten.
Out of a total registration of about
$4,000, over $1,000 voters went to the
polls Tuesday. 1t was a record-break-
ing vote for the county and indicated
at an early hour that something was
due "to happen"
