Ralph Beebe brought Misty

He said there would be

hundreds Of pony buyers and
spectators.
Proceeds from the two bene.

Mr.. Beebe said about $50 of
the ponies, which live on ASA

devested the coastal areas. So

Of Chincoteague ponies who
want to sell them back to

In Winchester, meanwhile, it
was announced that a total of
$3,012 was collected in opera

By WILLIAM DUKE
Star staff Writer


So many candidates have
filed for the Democratic pri-
mary in Montgomery County
that the voting machine has
struck back by shattering one
of the oldest hits Of political
folklore-the name game"
This game has only one rule
for political ticket makers -
pick primary candidates with
names near the front of the
alphabet. The idea is that since
candidates are listed alpha
betically on the ballot, the man
at or near the top might get
some easy votes from people
who pull the first lever they
see.
But county election officials,
with 154 local candidates to
squeeze onto the ballot, threw
a curve at the ticket makers.
They took some people with
names like Wiser and Wheeler,
who are usually at the bottom
Of the ballot, and put them at
the top.
To solve the greatest candi-
date population explosion in the
county's history, the election
officials decided to drop the
candidates names into columns
five names deep and to use
more columns.
81 for Six Seats
Twenty-one candidates have
filed for the six House seats.
On the current ballot, these
names will be placed alpha
betically in five columns, and
the first name in each column
will be right beneath the head
ing which says, House of Dele
gates, vote for Six"
The lucky men whose names
will run directly under this
heading will be Richard P.
Abel of the Mahoney-Lee
ticket; Victor L. Crawford and
James F. McAuliffe Of the
United Democrats for Tawes,
and Harper M. Smith and c.
Lawrence Wiser Of the County
Democrats.
An over-abundance Of can
didates - 81 - for the State
Central committee produced
similar results. Heading the
top Of each column in this race
will be Mrs. Stella Allison,
James c. Christopher, Mrs.
Alice Jones, Ray v. Murphy
and william B. Wheeler.
In this race, which decides
party control, the top of the
ballot is poulated by two in
cumbents - Mr.. Wheeler and
Mr.. Murphy - both key or
ganizers Of the county's Ma
honey-Lee forces. Mrs. Jones

and Mr.. Christopher are on the
Tawes ticket and Mrs. Allison
is a member Of the County
Democrats.
The same sort of arrange
ment had to be made in the
race for councilman-at-large
where eight candidates are run
ming for two seats. These can
didates will be arranged in two
columns headed by Frank M
Alligood of the Tawes slate and
Herbert Mertz, jr., an independ-
ent running on an anti-inte-
grafton platform.
Republicans. with fewer
candidates. did not escape the
name play because Of less space
on the ballot. Their candidate
columns are only three names
deep.
This means that in the Re.
publican House race, the FOL-
lowing names will head the
columns: Thomas M. Anderson,
Donald H. Dalton and James
r. Miller, jr.

Its reusurer

The town treasurer in Seat
Pleasant, Md, an elective post
since the suburban community
was incorporated 81 years ago,
may soon become a job to be
filled by appointment.
The changeover is scheduled
to become. effective April "a.
less than two weeks before the
next town election - unless
someone petitions the Mayor
and Town Council by April IA
to put it to a referendum.
If the issue is put to q vote,
it would appear that candi-
dates for treasurer should be
on the ballot in case the pro-
posed charter change is re-
jected.
Authorized March 5
So far. officials say, indica-
tions are that the proposed
charter amendment, authorized
by Mayor Edward ]. Goodwin
and the Town Council on
March 5, will go through as
planned.

amendment, said it has been

effort to conform to a model
charter under Maryland's home
rule law.
The town counsel said the
amendment would permit the
council to look outside the town
for qualified candidates if none
is found locally.
Mr.. Mccullough and other
town officials said it frequently
has been difficult to get quail
flied persons to run for this Of
flee and remain after election.
Also. they say, most other mu-
inequalities appoint treasurers.
