Water Bills Payable
May l, Council Says

1t was enormously reported last
week through a misunderstanding
that all water bills in the Town of
Rockville must be paid by June l.
The notice should have read Of.
Bache Albert, clerk to the Town
Council, has issued a warning that
all water bills in the Town of
Rockville must be paid by May /,
otherwise, water will be cut off
where users are delinquent"
The Sentinel regrets the error.
1t further points out that the Town
Council has been more than fair
in its dealings with delinquent
water patrons. Certainly the re-
quest for prompt payment Of water
bills at this time should be met
with favorable response.

McDermOtt Found
Guilty; Gets Life
Term For Murder
Second Participant In Mistaken
Identity Staying Is
Sentenced

Albert McDermott, alias John
(Slim) Dunn Alcatrez convict and
former Tri-State gangster, escaped
the gallows when a jury in Allegany
County Courthouse found him guilty
of first-degree murder, without capital
punishment, for the part he is alleged
to have played in the mistaken
identity" staying of Allen B. Wilson,
newspaper route carrier.
The talesmen reached their verdict
after celebrating hour and 20
minutes.
McDermott was FASTENED from the
courtroom, through the curious crowds
that thronged the Railways, and TAX
en- to his cell in the Allegany County
Jail.
Less than two hours before the jury
of businessmen and farmers returned
its verdict, the S5-year-old gangster
had heard States Attorney Jane H.
Pugh demand the death penalty.
"Slim Dunn is murderer" declar-
ed Pugh in his half-hour address to
the jury.
"He is a cold blooded killer and he
deserves no mercy"
With McDermott's case disposed of,
the State today will begin the trial
L I I
Albert Sutton.
Sutton, the State contends, was the
man who was instrumental in plotting
to "put the finger" on Mcdonald as a
result of gamblers feud.
Thomas Dawson, Maryland secre-
tary of state, and F. Brook Whiting,
Cumberland attorney, will represent
Sutton.

BRECKENRIDGE CAME INTO tn

BRECKENRIDGE CAME INTO the
Free State and managed to compile a
somewhat surprising vote. Of course
no campaign was made for President
Roosevelt, but the general result
particularly in the counties, was dis
amounting. No one can say, however,
that these votes obtained by Brecken-
ridge will all be cast against Franklin
D. next Fall. There is lot of things
bound to happen between now and
then. Maybe the President will get rid
of some of his 1ieutenants in the
meantime.

| the Montgomery County primary cleo
tions Monday, winning over their re-
spective opponents by wide margins
President Roosevelt polled 5,517 votes
against $50 for Henry Breckenridge
to sweep the Democratic preferential
primary vote. Representative Lewis
received 1900 votes in the Democratic
Congressional primary, against 1864
for Clay Plummer, of Gaithersburgi
while LeGore was given LIPS votes to
swamp his six competitors for the Re-
publican nomination for Congress.
The regular Democratic and Re-
publican county organization candi-
dates for delegates to the State con-
ventions ran true to form by out-poll-
ing the opposition slate.
Both Lewis and LeGore were sue
Icessful for the nominations in the
Sixth District. The referendum to per-
NIT games such as bingo, paddle
wheels, etc., was passed by a large
majority.
The Democratic organization slate
showed nearly 8 to 1 majority over
the two independent candidates on the
face of unofficial returns from 81 out
Of SO polling places. The votes were;
Donald A. DeLashmutt, 5,507; Lacy
Shaw, 5,276; Ralph H. Chase, 5,179;

$3.50, and D.. Jane Price, 4,573. De-
feated candidates were John Imirie

ling were Carson w. Pope, 915; James
Veirs, 900; Harry L. Willard, 894, and
Mary Moore Warner, 1851.
Early returns in the seven-man Re-
publican battle for the Congressional
nomination indicated close fight be-
tween LeGore and A. Charles Stewart
both Of whom ran nearly even in the
upper precincts of the county. Re.
turns from the populous suburban
precincts, however, swelled the Le-
Gore majority to to 1. Stewart was
second with 493 votes. Other Con-
gressional votes were Albert A. Doub
1923; Leo Weinberg, SO; Ernest w.
Miller, As; Perry A. Nicklin, 46, and
Thomas L. Popp, %.

gomery County municipalities in an
nual elections Monday.

WHICH REMINDS US of the pres
ent county set-up. It looks as if the
Fusion party will no longer be re-
garded as a permanent organization.
Daily we hear that the Democrats will
get together for the next county cleo
ton. They should be able to join
forces if they hearken to reason. But
the Democrats will never be compact
as long as they insist on running the
same candidates for office-men who
have held lucrative positions and who
have made lucrative appointments,
many of whom merely loaf on the job
and delude themselves into thinking
they are "hot stuff" in their respec-
tive communities. There is no use
naming names. Every independent
Democrat who is not worried about a
job knows these men and knows their
failings. A little more of the "give-
and-take" spirit will prove the very
pan-a-cea Montgomery County Dem
ocracy needs. =

TO GET BACK to county affairs
1t is very refreshing to note that form
er Judge DeLashmutt led the ticket fol
candidates to the Democratic State
Convention. Donald has never been SO
closely identified with party activities
that the people have become bored
with him. He is both capable and can
be classed as member of that group
OF Democrats who give as well as
take. Therein lies a lesson for Demo-
cratic lieutenants who are feeling the
itch to seek Office once more.
