The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1938-09-15
CLIFFORD FRIEND GETS
REPUBLICAN NOMINATION
Has An Unofficial Majority Of
2S9 Over Harvey ]. Speicher;
Sheriff Candidacy In Doubt
NEED SANG RUN FIGURES

With all the Republican ballots I'M
officially tailed with the exception of
Sang Run-District No. 6-the pres
ent high candidates can be assured of
their nomination, with very few ex-
ceptions.
Clifford Friend has definitely won
the nomination for State Senator with
a vote of 1871 compared with 1882 for
Harvey J. Speicher, his nearest oppo-
nent. Harry c. Edwards, for the Sem
ate nomination, received total of 694
votes. These unofficial figures include
the Sang Run District, except for Mr..
Edwards.
Failure to get the full tablulation in
Sang Run has caused doubt as to who
has been nominated for Sheriff. Carl
W. Frazee at present is leading his
nearest opponent, Juniper S. Teats,
1920 to 1906, but no one seems to have
recalled the count in District No. for
a certainty. George E. Coddington,
third aspirant for nomination for the
office of sheriff, polled SAT votes with
one precinct missing.
Cheston H. Browning, Blaine Cess
man and Paul M. Friend are the high
candidates for Commissioners and
their nomination seems secure not
outstanding the missing precincts
figures. At least Mr.. Browning is as
sured of the nomination as he led the
ticket among the seventeen candidates
with a vote of 1860.
The three high candidates for men,
bers of the House of Delegates are
also almost certain of nomination, al
though it is possible the Sang Run
vote may change the situation. Thus
far Darwin B. Martin, Mountain Lake
Park, is high man with 1444 votes;
Nelson Brenneman, McHenry, is Sec
ond with 1884 votes; Martin L. Groves
has 1869 votes, with Arthur G. Gull
lers, who, with Mr. Groves, sought re-
nomination, trails the latter by 62
votes. Mr.. Brenneman is assured OF a
large vote in Sang Run, which is his
home district, but the vote in the case
of Groves and Cullers is uncertain.
Jesse J. Ashby, Jr., easily won the
treasurership nomination and conse-
quently the election, as the Democrats
failed to name an opponent for the
general election. Mr.. Ashby had
total vote of 1924, compared with 865
for Truman C. Bittinger. All three OF
the Orphans Court Judges, Thomas E.
Bishoff, Frank Calls and William A.
Smith, were renominated.
The contest among candidates for
members of the Republican State Cen
trail Committee, is still considered IN
doubt, as the returns are not complete
from Sang Run and also District No.
Bittinger. At present William d.
Casteel is high man with vote of
1860, and the three next highest are
Henry w. McComas, Jr., 1921; julius
C. Renninger, 1896; George D. White,
1881. Mark Moon is fifth man with a
vote of 1249, while Charles A. Asnby
is sixth with 1887.
The official count is taking place
this afternoon at the office OF the
Board of Supervisors Of Elections, and
| it will be late in the day when final
figures are announced. The official tab
ulations of the results Of both the Re-
publican and Democratic votes will be
printed in The Republican next Thurs
| day.
The unofficial figures for each Re-
publican and Democratic candidate
appear in The Republican today, on
page 8, along with pictures of num-
Der of the winners.
