Election Tally

The official canvass of tine No
vember election changed the
total votes of candidates but made
no real difference in the outcome
which saw five Garrett County
Democrats elected to public office.
The addition of some thirty-eight
absentee votes to the 6,445 votes
cast at the polls on election day
made the totals of all candidates
different. In addition to the abb
sentee votes there were several
minor changes in the unofficial
figures.
Fred Glotfelty, County Commits
sioner aspirant, picked up 100 votes
in one precinct total which made
him high man on the Commissioner
ticket. Dewitt Hyde also picked
up 100 votes but this made no diff
ference in the final analysis in
the district. Otherwise there was a
difference of ten in one instance,
five in another and one or two in
several others.
u. s. Senator j. Glenn Beall
added to his already healthy mar
gin over Baltimore Mayor Thomas
D'Alesandro when he received q
votes out of the 80 cast by absentee
voting. All Republicans Jared well
in this group except Senator
Friend. He and Bernard l. Gender
each received 10 votes.
The canvass revealed that Lester
White, a clerk in the office of Rich
ard L. Davis, clerk of the Circuit
court, received three write-in votes
for the office of treasurer and
register of wills.
