PUSH W. M. LOKER FOR CIRGUIT JUDGE Citizens of St. Marys County Show Unusual Interest in Election. Special Dispatch to The Star. LEONARDTOWN, Md,, July 14.—The citizens of St. Marys county of which Leonardtown is the county seat, are manifesting more than ordinary in- terest in the election next November for, aside from the naming of their county officials, the indications now point strongly to the nomination of William Meverell Loker, a native of Lieonardtown as one of the three democratic nominees for judge of the seventh judicial circuit,” comprising the counties of Prince Georges, Charles, Caivert and St. Marys. Prince Georges county will, in all’ proba- bility, have but one democratic nom. nee, Ogle Marbury of Laurel, formerly chairman of the now defunct board of prison control. Ray Refuses to Run. For several weeks it is known that friends of J. Enobs Ray of Chillum, Prince Georges county, chairman of the state tax commission, have been urging him to throw his hat into the Judicial ring, but Mr. Ray has just made the positive statement that he will not be a candidate. Mr. Marbury has already filed the necessary papers to place his name on the official bal- lot as chief judge of the circuit. J. Mitchell Diggs of La Plata, Charles county, will probably be the other democratic candidate. Mr. Loker is regarded as one of the leading members of the Maryland bar. He was born in Leonardtown, February 11. 1879, the son of Willlam A. Loker and Susie C. (Combs) Loker, Doth deceased. He was admitted to the bar in the court of appeals, Jan- uary 23, 1901. He practiced his pro- fessional alone until July 1, 1907, when he became the partner of his ‘uncle, the late Robert C, Cumbs, whose mem- v will ever be revered by St Marys countians, and this associa- tion continued until the death of Mr. Combs. In 1911 Mr. Loker was elected state's ! darys county and | for St. in that capacity He has since been, greater part of the time, attorney for the county commissioners and other boards and county institutions.

AHALT IS CANDIDATE FOR STATE’S ATTORNEY Announces Intention in Arlington | County ‘Race—Warm Contest for Other Offices. | Special Dispatch to The Star. | CLARENDON, Va. July 14—Clar- lence R. Ahalt, attorney of Arlington |ccunty and Washington, D. C., has ‘announced his candidacy for com- monwealth attorney for Arlington county at the November election. This is not the first time Mr. Ahalt { has sought public office, as he served ‘as a member of the board of super- visors from Washington district in 1919 and was re-elected to that office, but later moved from that district to Jefferson _district and resigned office, and has since resided there. Most Offices Contested. Although all county offices, with the possible exception of that of clerk of | ithe court, are to be contested for at | {the coming November elections, the ! jreal interest of the voters at this stage of the campalgn seems to be directed to another field—that which | is staging the race to determine who |8hall be Arlington county'sefirst dele- {gate to the state legislat®re. Thi; year, for the first time in the history { of the county, it will have a delegate to represent it only, the redistricting | act passed at last session of the legls. lature having made Arlington a sep: rate district. Heretofore one delegate has reprosented both Alexandria and the county. That this race is uppermost in the |minds of the voters is evidenced by the fact that hardly an evening goes by that the five candidates—A. P, |Payne of Clarendon, Hugh Reid of :Thrifton village, Charles T. Jesse of Fort Myer Heights, all subject to the democratic primaries of August 7, and Thomas D. Baille, republican— are not invited to some platform to explain their views on questions of which all citizens are interested. Several Mecctings Arranged.
