WALTER JOHNSON
IS c. 0. P. CHOICE
Montgomery Vote Puts Gov.
Nice Well Ahead of Ticket.
TAFT Supported.

Republicans in Montgomery Coun-
ty, where Walter johnson, for more
than 20 years the Big Train of the
Washington baseball team, ran well
ahead of the ticket, supported Gov.
Nice as their gubernatorial candidate
and Galen L. TAFT of Chevy Chase as
their senatorial choice, returns tabu-
lated by this morning showed Mr.
TAFT, who is a Washington attorney,
lost to Oscar Lesser of Baltimore in the
State as a whole.
Returns from "a Of IS precincts
were available early today, with re-
ports missing from Laytonsville,
Clarksburg. Poolesville, one of four
Rockville precincts, one Of two Coles
| vile precincts, two Of seven Bethesda
precincts, one of two Olney precincts
Potomac, Barnesville and Damascus.
Those precincts are counting Demo-
cratic ballots first. The incomplete
count showed:
Although only about so per cent Of
the registered Republicans went to
the polls, the lack of interest was not
unexpected, since there were few con-
tests for nominations.
One Of the six State central commit
teeships remained in doubt. The vic
torious Republicans in the county plan
to meet Thursday and draw up plat
form on which to run for election
against the Democratic candidates in
November.
Nice Ahead Of Ticket.
The incomplete count showed that
the Montgomery Republicans cast their
nominating votes thus:
For Governor-Harry W. Nice, D.
069; Harry T. Phoebus, 1876.
For United States Senate-Galen l..
TAFT, 1885; Oscar Lesser, $50
For House of Representatives (seat
now held vby Representative David
Lewis)-A. Charles Stewart, Allegheny
County, 1911; Frank r. Long, Ken
sington, Montgomery County, 699.
For county treasurer-Ira c. Whit
acre, Silver Spring, now clerk OF the
Board Of County Commissioners, 1924;
C.. william Miles, Forest Glen, now
assistant county auditor, 731.
For county commissioner from the
second district-Walter P. johnson,
Germantown, 1899; James M. Mount,
Gaithersburg, 1l3.
| For county commissioner from the
fifth district-Paul NJ Coughlin, Sill
yer Spring, 1872; Herman c. Heffner,
Takoma Park, Police Court judge In
Takoma Park, 709.
Johns0n's Foe Comedies Early,
For the six memberships on the Re-
publican State Central Committee
Robert McKeever, Wheaton, now
chairman of the committee, 1,736;
James c. Rogers. 1,685; Earl w. Shinn,
Kenwood, 1900; Walter w. Dawson,
Rockville. 1,480; Nathan Duvall,
Gaithersburg, 1858; Louis A. Proctor,
Takoma Park, 1,143;: Lawrence v.
Lampson, Takoma Park, 1 ,095; Preston
L. Snyder, Trevilla, 991, and Simon O.
Smith, Rockville, 752.
Messrs. Lampson, Smith and Snyder
lacked the support of the regular Or
ganization, which is dominated by the
Sleman-Dawson machine. The domi-
nant group is hopeful that it will con-
troll the distribution Of patronage in
the county If Gov. Nice is reelected.
Committeeman McKeever is a Wash
ington realtor, and MIR. Shinn is an at
torney in the District.
Walter Johnson's opponent, James
Mount, conceded the nomination early
In the evening.
I'm going out and work hard for
the whole Republican Ticket" Mr..
Mount, q farmer, said.

in November"
"In a democracy the govern
ment is run by the people. | do
not consider government from
Raleigh in this category. 1t is in
fact dictatorship. If there are
those who favor four-year terms,
! believe the fair and honest way
would be to secure legislation,
if necessary, to allow the people
to- approve or disapprove four
year terms. Any other method is
"a dictatorship Of Il few politi-
Clans" Mr.. Pace said.

clared that he personally was op!

can see no advantage in four
year terms since the county will
have to have an election every
two years for state and federal
officers" 49,
He stated that it was his opin-
ion that four-year terms would
tend to reduce efficiency of Off
Gals since an officer facing the
electorate evcrv two years would
attempt to merit reelection.
There is always the possibility
that a newly elected officer
would not prove satisfactory, and
we certainly would not want to
contend with such for four
years" ...
"Any proposal which would re-
move further from the people
their right to express themselves
on matters of government freely
and often at the polls shows, in
my opinion, rank distrust of the
intelligence and integrity of the
people and braZen attempt on
the part of those who do so to
dictate to free-born Americans,

Urges Great
Safety Effort
Rest Of Year
I'm the Sir Walter Hotel.
Daily Dispatch bureau.

Raleigh, Nov. 4.-"Keep the fifth
man alive, Ronald Hocutt, director
of the Highway Safety Division, to-
Carolina in an effort to pull down the
usually super-heavy November and
December traffic toll.
So far this year North Carolina has
has slightly bettered the national av-
erage of a twenty per cent fatality de-
crease, and a uniform drop of that
size means, Mr.. Hocutt pointed out,
that one out of every five persons
doomed to die in traffic this year will
be spared.
The goal is to keep pace with an
unbroken reduction in traffic deaths
that prevailed during the first three
quarters of the year, with a resultant
saving in the nation of $500 lives.
North Cardinals share of these spar
ed lives is slightly greater than pro-
portionate to, its population.
Mr.. Hocutt issued his current ap-
peal because of the fact that Novem-
Der and December are annually buga-
boo months for traffic safety. Last
year November traffic deaths in
North Carolina totalled 112, in the ma
ton $3.50. In December 1874 were kill
ed in the State and $3.50 in the ma
ton.
Over five-year period the Novem-
her toll was 20 per cent greater and
the December 80 per cent greater than
the year-long monthly average Rea-
sons for this, Mr.. Hocutt said, are
bad weather, more hours of darkness
and the Christmas holiday rush.
