NORRIS HOLDS FAST, INIARYLAND RACE Candidate Gives Reasons for Not Withdrawing at Re- quest of Party Leaders.

"BALTIMORE, August 26.—The re- fudil of State Senator William Lj Norr accede to the request of al number of democratic leuders this week that he wiihdraw from the; sepatorial coptest dashed all hopes of* the party leaders of avoiding a primary fight.

He recog- nized the value of party harmony, appreciated the motives of the go ernor and his assoclates, and ex- pressed gratification at the govers nor's attitude of neutrality, but de- clined to accept the suggestion that he step down. Lewis Wil Not Withdraw. _bavid J. Lewis, the other candidate. announced that while he had not as! yet been asked to withdraw, he pos- iflyely would not do so under any cifeumstances, as he had entered the fight at the solicitation of a number of influential western Maryland dem- | ocrats and was in the fight to a finish. | Mr. Norris, it is understood, was in- | fluenced in his decision not to with- | dgaw from the race by the fact that| organized labor, through the State Féderation of Labor. -had announced thit if Mr. Norris, whom they had in- dorsed. withdrew from the race, the labor leaders would enter a labor can- digate in the general election. This, | added to the fact that Mr. Norris has alfso received the unqualified support of the Maryland Association Opposed to Prohibition, is sald to have been the deciding factors in Mr. Norris' de- etsion. The republican primary fight b tween Senator France and John W. Garrett remains practically the same as last week, with both sides claiming | te be making great progress in the way of rallying support to their re- spective candidates. While this is the statement given out by the campaign managers of the two candidates, an impartial and unbiased review of the situation shows:that Senator France is undoubtedly gaining strength daily and all indications today point to his success In the primary next month.

It is 1ot elaborate, but it Is commodious and is solid In construction, with modern conveniences. The fact s that in the last twenty-flve years the soclal life of the city has moved west 80O rapidly that the governor's family is the only one to be found within several blocks of the capitol. The soldlers’ home property belongs to the state. New Law Unpopular. The last legistature as a safety measure, enacted a law which re- quires the driver of every auto- mobile, wagon or other vehlcle to come to a full stop when crossing is i railroad except in citles and incor- porated towns of 1,000 or more. The law has proved to be a hardship on drivers, and there are county con- stables and magistrates who have arranged to be at places of frequent travel and to nab every person who does not comply with the law and they have been making a big thing of it. The constable obtains the warrant, it is served, the maglstrate on the scene tries the case and Imposes the $15 In each case. localities in which the local officers have made a vear's pay out of the new law to the disgust of travelers.

Three of the men seeking the place have been in the office for years, and at least two of these are of the administra- tion (ype of men. They are not “emergency” republicans,” but have been for a long time identified with that party. The term of Postmaster Thornton does not expire until late ] the coming month, but the fact that the officers were here and were mak- ing inquiry regarding the men who took the examination at this time leads to the belief that the new man will be named not later than Oc- tober 1. Constitutional Convention. | | o The voters this fall will be called on to vote on the question of calling ia constitutional convention, as pro- vided by the act of the last legisla- ture. The matter has been allowed {to sleep for several months, but to- {day Lfeut.-Gov. West in an inter- iview declared that the time is not {ripe for the caHing of a convention, |that it will entall an enormous ex- !pense and that conditions are such that the voters are not ready to pass on_such a proposition. The present constitution has been in effect for just a little more than twenty years and it now little resem- bles the instrument that was promui- gated by the convention. It is a { patchwork, with many of the fea- itures of 'the orlginal instrument nullified ‘or practically repealed. There have been innumerable propositions to amend the constitu- {tion at every session of the legisla- | !ture. 1t 1s admitted on all sides that | {the present constitution more nearly | approaches a code than a constitu- tion, due to its great length and the matters embraced In its provisions. With the fling of expense ac- counts of candidates for office the farcial nature of the law is being !magnified again. It has been the laughing stock of the people of the { state since it was introduced. Every i candidate is required to make a cor- rect statement of his outlay and some of the figures are amusing. The people of the state know th they are not correct. The fact that the law is being construed to mean | expenditures after a candidate has| filed his notice enables men with ample funds to arrange for his force, for printing. buy stamps and | arles to his corps of clerks iand managers and workers in ad- vance of filing notices, and the state- ments from and after the filing of i notices may be correct. The inten- s tion of the state law was to make { candidates file a statement showing lall ecxpenses in connection with elections. INC.

Special Dispatch to The Star. ROCKVILLE, Md., August 26.—The remarkably fine order which pre- vailed throughout the annual fair held here four days during the week provoked much favorable comment. Although the fair wasyattended by thousands of persons, Rot a single arrest was made and, so far as 16 known, there were no untoward in- cidents to mar’the pleasure of visi- tors. So far as is known, there was not a drunken man on the grounds or any showing even the alightest eftects of drink. The good order was doubtless due in a large measure to the presence on the grounds at il times of Sheriff Alvie Moxley and & number of his deputies, and Chief of Police Charles T.
