PRIMARY BATTLE
DRAWING TO CLOSE
Contest One of Hardest
Fought In History of
Maryland

The curtain will fall next Mon
day night on one of the most bit
terly fought primaries in the his
tory of the county and State. The
people of Maryland will be called
upon to select candidates for the
United States Senate, Governor.
Attorney General, Comptroller,
Clerk to the Court of Appeals.
Congress and many hundreds of
candidates for the county offices.
High-lighting and over-shadow-
ing the Gubernatorial race, is the
battle between the two leading
contenders for the Democratic
Senatorial nomination = David J,
Lewis and Willard E. Tydings.
This race, by far, has created
more interest than any of the
others, the candidates themselves
using every known method to win
votes for their cause.
Probably never before in the
history of a state election, has
the radio played a more important
part in campaign. All candi-
dates have used the air waves to
considerable extent and the is
sues have been debated pro and
con.
1t has been conservatively esti-
mated that at least 10000 mem
bers of the Democratic Party in
this county will march to the polls
on Monday to vote their choice.
The recent registration brought
out hundreds of additional voters
increasing the already Democratic
majority in Washington County to
well over $500.
Unlike former years. the bal
lot on Monday will carry large
number of names, and all are
urged to vote the entire ticket and
vote early. Sample ballots have
/ been mailed to every Democratic
voter in Hagerstown and Wash
ington County.
In all probability the first re-
turns in the State will be receiv-
ed from Baltimore City where
voting machines have been in
stalled. County results will be
slow in view of the fact that so
many candidates are in the race
and the method of tallying re-
quires a great deal of time.

With today the fall term of the

A majority of the schools report
more students than previous years.
The Senior High School reports
an attendance of over 1900 this
year, which is approximately 100
more than last year.
Seven one-room schools were
closed in the county, these pupils
being taken care of at other
schools, transportation being fur
nished by bus.
This year as in former years, the
safety system is in operation,
carefully selected students being
designated as patrolmen. This
is one of the outstanding safety
programs ever inaugurated by the
schools in Hagerstown, and has
been highly commended by all
parents.
