COCKEY FAILS TO FILE
The Democratic slate is coru-
plete with the exception of one
office, county surveyor, which was
left open when Capt. Vinton D.
Cockey, of Laurel, who had re-
ceived the party endorsement,
failed to file his candidacy. Cockey
had previously declared his inten-
ton to run for county treasurer.
Party leaders are now limiting at a
possibility that Cockey may run
for treasurer as an independent
and will file by petition. If he
does, that post will be the only
contested office IN the Democrat tic
primary.
Capt. Richard Mansfield. Of the
Washington Ninth precinct, who
had been named as a candidate |
for the State convention on the
