Supporters
OF Stevenson
Garner Votes

A ground swell for Adlai E.
Stevenson was one of the most
surprising factors in the Dis
trict primary as counting of
returns continued today.
Not a single District Steven
son candidate seemed sure of
winning a seat on the Demo-
cratic Central Committee, how
ever. Candidates pledged to
Senator Humphrey of Mime
sofa appeared to have the in
side track.
But the Stevenson slate led
candidates supporting Senator
Morse from 500 to 1000 votes,
man for man, throughout the
city.
This was in the face Of an
explicit instruction from Mr..
Stevenson advising District
supporters against voting for
him. He was not officially en-
tered In the race.
Incomplete returns indicated
Stevenson supporters were gain
ing an edge over Morse candi-
dates because of strong backing
in upper middle class and
wealthy areas. such as Wesley
Heights and Spring Valley.
Stevenson strength was ap-
parent in Northeast, Southwest
and Southeast Washington as
well.
For example. the Stevenson
slate outpolled Morse candi-
dates in the precincts spreading
out from North Capitol street.
He also led in polling between
South Capitol street and the
Potomac River in the South
west. He rolled up a lead of 37-9
over Morse in the first box
counted from the 10Th precinct
in the heart of the city, be-
tween the Potomac, Pennsylva-
mia avenue and Fifteenth street
NV.

PRIMARY
Democratic Central Group
Acquires 19 New Faces

Humphrey slate of delegate
candidates were the Rev. e.
Franklin Jackson, president Of
the District Chapter of the Ma
tional Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People:
Mrs. Todd Duncan, wife of the
well-known Negro baritone, and
F. Joseph (Jiggs) Donohue,
former president of the District
Board of Commissioners.
Three Negroes were the lead
ing Morse candidates for dele
gate. They are Mrs. Margaret
Butcher, DR.. Edward C. Mazique
and Bishop Smallwood Will
liams.
The Rev. Mr.. Hewlett. a Ne
gro minister who is pastor of
the Sargent Memorial Preshy-
terian Church, and Mrs. New
man led the slate of Stevenson
candidates for delegate.
The total of the vote cast at
the primary yesterday was not
Immediately available but it is
apparently going to fall far
short of the predicted $4,000 to
$4,000 and will apparently drop
below the approximately $4,000
total of the last election here.
With 100 Democratic ballot
boxes counted, only about 5000
votes were tabulated on some
OF the questions. A low vote
had been expected in the Re-
publican primary because of the
absence of any major contest
at the District level and because
there was no presidential pref
erence question on the G. o. P.
ballot.
Count Still Goes On
The vote-counting fiasco that
occurred here at the last elec-
tion four years ago was avoided.
but the tabulation of the
lengthy hand ballots will not.
be completed until late today
at the earliest.
In order to avoid the diff
cultieS that arose four years
ago all votes were counted this
time at the District National
Guard Armory instead of at
the individual precincts.
Two hundred university stu
dents and 125 District employees
were used to count the ballots
which were transported from
the precincts to the armory by
taxicab.
Extra ballot boxes were re-
moved from the precinct poll
ing places shortly after noon
and Nhe count got under way
at the armory about 6 pm.
even though the polls did not
close until 8 pm.
| Nevertheless, there were some
delays and it was not until
shortly before IL pm. that the
special press counting pool re-
ceived the last of the tally
sheets for the early" ballot
boxes that had been brought
to the armory.
Most of the persons counting
the ballots left the armory be-
tween l and 2 am. because of
fatigue. However, a skeleton
crew Of determined counters
stayed on the job until dawn.
Counting by a full crew Of
workers was to resume later
today.

Democratic national commit
teeman, Tilford Dudley, the in
cumbent, had a narrow lead
over the Rev. Mr.. Hewlett.
Mr.. Dudley had 4,677 votes
to Aba for the Rev. Mr.. Hew-
lett. on the basis of returns
from 108 of the Democratic
boxes.
Mrs. Katie Louchheim, can
didate for Democratic national
committeewoman, had no op-
position and had received $3.50
votes with 108 ballot boxes
counted.
All questions on the Demo
cratic and Republican ballots
were given an overwhelmingly
affirmative answer by the
voters. including queries on
whether they favored national
representation and home rule.
Bound to Unit Rule
AS the result of an affirma-
tive answer to one question on
the Democratic ballot the
District delegation to the ma
tional convention will be bound
to vote as a unit. This means
that even if candidate pledged
to Mr.. Stevenson is elected, all
the District delegate votes will
60 to Senator Humphrey.
The election results afforded
no conclusive evidence that
voting by race was a decisive
factor since while some Negro
candidates led their tickets
others made only mediocre
showings or Jagged behind their
States The Morse ticket had
more Negroes than any other.
The names of Senator Ken
nedy of Massachusetts and Vice
President Nixon did not appear
on their respective party bal
lots in this election because
they did not file as candidates.

National suffrage was the
winner in the Republican pri-
mary last night.
A District vote in presiden-
tial elections was indorsed by
81 per cent Of party members
who answered this suffrage
question on Republican bal
lots. The 3.640 votes for pres
idential elections were the
greatest number of votes cast
for any question or any candi-
date by the time counters
stopped tallying Republican
returns.
No Republican votes cast
after 2 pm. yesterday were
counted last night.
Eighty per cent of Republi-
cans favored some kind of Dis
trict representation in Congress
These national representation
questions we're distinct from
home rule queries on the Re-
publican ballot. Only the home
rule question appeared on the
Democratic ballot.
Ninety-one per cent Of Dem
ocrats voting on the question
lndorsed local self-government
and 73 per cent of Republicans
asked similar question wanted
homie rule.
| The Democratic totals, more
complete by at least half than
the Republican. showed 8,804
for and 784 against home rule
With half the days votes
counted, Republican returns
were 3.640 for and ia against
the presidential vote. 1926 for
and 395 against delegates in
Congress for District residents,
and 2,573 for and 984 against a

WHAT FORTUNE for in
.vention could be more de-
served? What invention has
given more Joy?
"Plimpton's son would stop
in here" Mr.. Brown said.
"He would tell me of his
fathers difficulty inventing
the roller skate-and max
ing it work"
Mr.. Brown jotted down
some numbers-all starting
with 280-and ordered a
young man to show the
Rambler where they were
filed.
He found himself seated
with several piles of papers,
each a foot high, before him.
There were more patents
on roller skates than any
one would like to examine.
( In the 1S70s, they were
called "parlor skates"
The Rambler spent an
hour in searching.
Hundreds of inventors had
the idea of putting man on
wheels-wheels on his shoes.
There we're roller skates
with cart wheels, artillery
wheels, wheels similar to the
high wheeled bicycle. And
the Rambler never did find
: the Plimpton patent.
But he came upon one that
infuriated him.
In 1914 a patent was issued
for a skate scooter. 1t was the
same vehicle, made out OF
worn-out roller skates, that
the kids in our block used
to scoot on in 1912.
You know the vehicle-by
the way, all the roller skate
patents were filed under the
heading Land Vehicles.
You separate the skate,
fore and aft, take the rubber
cushions out and nail it to a
2 by 4.
We would put a soap box
on the front.
The drawing for the 1914
patent called for BOARD in
front with a handle bar
across the top.
1t seems to me that similar
eontraptions were on sale
in the stores before World
War I.

The
Rambler
Undertakes
Patent Research
By GEORGE KENNEDY

The mornings mail
brought an understanding
note from Harman Nichols,
who used to write a daily
W a S h in gton column for
United Press.
There is a sleeper in the
Patent Office which I
stumbled on by accident.
"It was a patent issued
to an old-timer in Virginia
who invented a paddle that
wouldn't hurt kids.
There is also a patent on
file for a self-kicking device.
1T is a wheel with six feet
protruding; all are shod with
shoes.
One only has to get it
revolving and back into it.
Il believe Freudians would
call it masochiSm-but the
inventor obtained letters of
patent without using that
word.
Brownie at the Patent
Office would be of great help;
he always is"
Great help2
Brownie turned out to be a

He put the Rambler to

E. H. BROWN, a plump,
white-haired man of uncon-
cealed energy, is the head of
the. search room.
1t is one of the most beau
tiful rooms in Washington.
1t extends all across the
north front of the Commerce
Building-the E street side.
1t is bordered by great
pillar-supported arches with
Pompeian like decorations.
The ceiling is gilded geo.
metric rectangular patterns.
The magniflcense of the
room is somewhat impaired
by functional furnishings
row after row of breast-high
desks. It's like a catalog
room in a library.
Mr.. Brown has been with
the Patent Office since 1905
that's 55 years-and head of
the search office since 1926.
He has been in this magnifi-
cent room since the build
ing opened.
Mr.. Brown said: I'm sure
you're not particularly inter
;ested in the patents men
TONED by Harman Nichols
in his letter,
They seem to be based
upon q whack or a boot on
the behind.
f"I assure you we have
much more constructive in
ventions in our files. What
would you like to search?"
The Rambler remembered
something in "Carp's Wash
ington," a recently published
book compiled from the $780,
80 Washington correspond
ence of Frank g. Carpenter.
After a visit to the Patent
once in the Cleveland ad-
rninistration, he reported
that one of the most profit
able patents had been issued
to a man named Plimpton
for the invention of the
roller skate.

He referred to the apparent

Democrat of Minnesota. has

Mr.. Donohue, who apparent
ly received the largest single

the results will mean the new

AS a result there will be l9
new members on the Demo-
cratic Central Committee since
only seven members of the
Humphrey slate were incum-
bents.
The 12-year reign Of A. L.
Wheeler as chairman of the
Democratic Central was ended
when he failed to gain re-elec-
ton to the committee. Mr..
Wheeler served as chairman of
the Morse campaign in the Dis
trict.
Candidates supported by the
Draft Stevenson Committee
were apparently running sec
ond for most of the convention
delegate and central committee
posts. Adlai Stevenson's name
was not on the ballot and he
had asked District residents not
to vote for convention delegate
candidates pledged to him.
But there was a possibility
that one candidate pledged to
vote for Mr.. Stevenson might
be elected as a delegate. He is
the Rev. Everett A. Hewlett.
With 106 of the 142 Demo-
cratic boxes counted, the Rev.
Mr.. Hewlett had 3,798 votes to
4,006 for Gerhard A. Gesell,
the low man on the Humphrey
slate of candidates for delegate.
Earlier the Rev. Mr.. Hewlett
was ahead of Mr.. Gesell.
Trailing in third place for
most central committee and
delegate posts was the slate of
candidates backing Senator
Morse.
However, District Board of
Elections officials warned that
the overall positions of the
Morse and Stevenson states
might change when the final
Democratic boxes are counted.
In the Republican primary,
two insurgents, George P.
Lamb and Mrs. Corina Rogers,

to buck the slate approved by

tee.
