Gar- rett forces on the shore In the sena- torfal primary contest with Senator France, is_extremely friendly with Senator Jackson and, altogether, seems considered the best man the party copnld select. Armstrong. who I8 now campaign- ing on the eastern shore, is expected to exerclse almost a deciding vote in the selestion of his associates on the ticket. Repudlican leaders do not appre- hend #ny number of primary con- tests here or In most of the counties of the tate. They have received ag- surancs there wiil be no opposition to thg state ticket headed by At- tofney General Armstrong. all fac- tions thaving agreed to abide by the selections now being made. In gthis city no republican as yet has fhdicated a desire to be a candi- date for the city-wide office, and it is only in the fourth legisiative district the republicans have shown slgns of life.

Mr. Loker.is a former state's attorney of St. Marys county. Republican Aspirant. William C. Brook of Prince Georges county is sald to be another aspirant to the republican nomination. He has heen identified with the 'Mudd organization, but the leaders e re- ported to_favor Ryon. Som the southern Maryland men think he will enter the primary. Miss Mary E. W. Risteau of Harford county, who was a member of the house of delegates of the last legis- lature and the first woman member of the general assembly of Maryland. may became a candidate for the state senate from her couhty. She was in Baltimore this week, but declined to declare her intentions. It is said, however, she is considering the mat- of Prince Georges Mr. Mar- G. Lee already has an- nounced he will be a candidate for the senatorship, and it is understood he has the support of Thomas H. Robinson, democratic candidate for attorney general.
