Special Dispatch to The Star SILVER SPRIN Md.. September 11.—One of the big sensations of the Sepiember 11— |already heated primary campaign in After weeks of the usual activities, | Montgomery County was sprung Fri- day when Frank L. Hewitt, one of the Républican candidates for the | | numinati'n as State Senate bitterly iled the Democratic administration | of affairs in the county the attack be ing directed chiefly at the Democratic organization of which E. Brooke Lee is the acknowledged head. And today Lee went after Hewitt hammer and tongs. During the entire campaign it has been charged by rival candidates in both partles that Hewitt and Lee had a private, understanding and were veally working together. Rival Re- publican candidates for the bave charged that if voted for Hewitt they would be aid- ing the Democratic organization and as a consequence the Republican senatorial fight has been bitte Hewitt and Lee are business associ- ates and long-time friends and both residents of Silver Spring and the at- tack of Hewett and the counter at- tack of Lee has stirred the entire county and undoubtedly will have far reaching effect on the candidacies of those who have based their campaign | on charges of a Hewitt-Lee coalition. Democrats Challenged. Hewitt's attack was launched through the medium of paid adver- tising in the county papers. It a “challenge” directed against the ac- curacy of the Democratic figures in accounting for the tax moneys of the county. Hewitt charges that the county tax rate has not been reduced as claimed, that the county officials Qid not know the amount of county indebtedness, that there has been tre- mendous increase in the county erating expense, that schools s have not been built out of direct levy funds, but out of bond issues 1d that there has been no competent | | competent audit of our county affairs | or county money at this time. The audit of county funds from time to time. Mr. Hewitt also charges tha the Washington Suburban Commission’s water and sewer fit rate is 26 cents a front foot, as compared to the statement of the Democratic organization that this rate s 13 cents. Furthermore, Hewitt charges that the moneys received by the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission have been spent in ‘“an incompetent and wasteful way.” Lee turned his guns on Hewitt in an exhaustive way answering charges against the conduct of county affair Lee declares it never has been charg- ed that the tax rate has been reduced, but that it is the lowest in the State, thut instend of county officers not knowing the amount of indebtedness, Barry E. Clark, clerk of the commi: sioners, had merely, asked more time to finish an up-to-date list for Mr. Hewitt's benefit. Reveals County Finances. In delving into the finances of the Neither Gov. Ritchie nor William | county and its administration at the Milnes Maloy, who are opposing | present juncture, Mr. Lee declared: “AMr. Hewitt's statement that the of Montgomery County increased from $20.000,000 in 1916 ,000,000 in 1926, is approximatel statement, however, that stake of 9% per cent, as his oxn show an actual increase of 152 per cent.

This 14 per cent ihcrease in the general operating cost of the ounty government over a 10-year period includes all salaries of all em- ployes paid from county taxes, all court expenses, and costs of elections, assessing, care of Indigent sick and insane, pauper pensions, and road taxes returned to incorporated towns and taxing areas, all of which items have been necessarily increased dur- ing the last 10 years, and include also the following new ftems: A part of the increasing cost of the police force and police court, appropriations to volunteer fire departments, juvenile court expenses, State board of health expenses, appropriation to farm bu- reau, expenses of county boys and girls in Maryland industrial schools, home demonstration appropriation, and cattle tuberculin testing appro- priation. Bonding Recognized Plan. “Mr. Hewitt states that county schools and roads have not heen built out of direct levy funds, but out of hond issue funds. This is the recog- nized plan and program of the Mont- gomery County government. This is the method almost universally fol- | lowed by counties, cities and states of financing permanent improvements. The total amount of Montgomery County school bonds now outstanding is $719,000; total amount of general county road bonds is $267,325. “The amount of Montgomery Coun- ty's bonded indebtedness compares most favorably with that of other counties and cities. “Mr. Hewltt states that there is no ‘acts are that annual audits are made of the clerk of the Circuit Court's of- | fice, clerk to Police Court's office, by the State auditor; and in addition the county treasurer's office and_school board are audited quarterly by the local auditors as required by law— the county treasurer’s office by CIlif- ford H. Robertson, who is the auditor for the Circuit Court of Montgomery | County, and .the school board by J. Hampton Jones. “Mr. Hewitt's statement that the | water and sewer benefit rate is 26 {cents a front foot as compared to the statement of the Democratic county this rate is 13 cents a front foot, is simply a refusal to multiply 13 cents by 2. The 13 cents to which the Democratic county or- manization refers covers either water | or sewer service, while the tax bill {that carrles a 26-cent rate includes {a charge for both water and sewer service, or do I agree with Mr. Hewitt’s statement that the money received from the sale of Washington Subur- an Sanitary Commission bonds has “all been spent in an incompetent and | wasteful way.” Sanitary Commission Rates.

This district was formerly Democratic, but Hill has had no troubie carrying it by large majorities over the most popular Democrats that could be found to run against him. There seems little doubt in any one’s mind that this city is overwhelmingly wet in sentiment, and it may go strongly for Hill, though the Weller people claim the Republi- n organization leaders in 22 out of 28 city wards. In addition to the wet support which he will receive, Mr. Hill has | the benefit of several historic grudg gainst Senator Weller. One of th grudges is held by Willlam H. Jack- | son, former United States Senator, the outstanding Republican leader on the Eastern Shore. Another is treasured by W. Bladen Lowndes, son of a for- mer governor, and still a third grudge is borne by former Semator France, who has believed that Senator Weller not give him proper support in 922 when France was defeated by Senator Bruce, Democrat. Many in Dry Territory. It happens that some of these grudge bearers are located in territory that is particularly d For example, the sentiment among the Republicans, and the people in general, on the Eastern Shore has heen rated strongly dry. But Jackson, who is not only an ereditary leader but is also Republi- national committeeman for Mary- land, has given the orders to vote for Hill. Many of those who ordinarily would _vote dry, will -vote for Hill, consoling themselves probably with the thought that Senator Weller also is rated a wet by the association | against prohibition. | Money Held Needed. | Here in_Baltimore the impression has gained ground that not a little depends upon the loosening of the purse strings. It is pointed out that some of the backers of Mr. Hill are plentifully supplied with funds, and they are expected to use them. Mr. | Weller's supporters also are not with- out money necessary in a campaign, and some of it will be forthcoming A leading Democratic politiclan cyn- ically suggested today that the Re- publican _ election depended upon which side was the most effective in T hing a certain class of voters in Maryland via the pocketbook route. No one has yet s ted, however, that the senatorial investigating com- mittee headed by Senator Jim Reed of Missouri, be summoned to inquire into the campaign here. There is a tail to the Weller kite as well as to the Hill kite, in the shape of a candidate for the gubernatorial nomination, and also candidates for other State offices. The Weller can- didate for governor is Addison E. Mullikin, an attorney practicing in Baltimore, who is rated a dry. The Hill gubernatorial candidate is Marion ‘A. Humphreys, a political lieutenant of William H. Jackson on the Eastern Shore, and who though formerly a has now come out for medifica- of the dry laws in order to con- form to the Hill platform. Hum phreys has been in politics for a long time and will draw a ltvl\.\'l.del‘- able vote in the coumties of the [ast ern Shore. Delegates Are Elected. In Maryland the primary elections do not settle finally the senatorial and gubernatorial nominations by the pop- ular vote. Delegates are elected at the primaries to the State conven- tions, which are held later. The dele- gates elected in each of the 23 coun- ties and in the six legislative districts of Baltimore city are compelled to verdict rendered by the voters in their respective county or district at the primar; Although the number of voters in Baltimore city is approxi- mately as large as the number in all the r of the State, the city has only 42 delegates from its six legisla- tive districts to 105 delegates repre: senting the 23 counties. Under the; law no county may have more than seven mnor less than three delegates no matter what the population may be. The Baltimore city legislative dis tricts each have seven delegates, though the population of some of these districts is much greater than that of some of the counties. The party conventions at which the nominations are actually made will be held the last of this month. The Weller campaign leaders claim their candidate should carry the five counties of western Maryland, al- though they admit privately that Hill is making a hard fight for Allegheny County, in which wet Cumberland is located. They count, too, on winning the three counties in northern Mary- land, Baltimore, Carroll and Harford Counties. In southern Maryland they admit Hill's claim to Calvert County and say he may have a chance in Howard County, but in the other four | people insist they will win. They ex- pay the sli beside dre cupied questions pect an even break in the nine coun- ties of the Eastern Shore, in spite of the influence of Jackson against Weller. In Baltimore city, the Weller leaders say, they will win a good majority of the delegates. Claims Scouted by 'Hill. In fact, they i v will carry every one of the six tive dis- tricts _and_obtain the delegates from the city to the State convenion. They insist that they will carry Alle- ny County with "its seven dele-| tes; that they will clean up on the Shore; that Senator France help them iaterially, as will As the Weller leaders see it, their candidate will have two to one, or even two-and-a-half to one, delegates to those for Mr. Hill in the conven- tion. The Hill outfit, on the other hand, looks for a landslide to their candidate, and insists he will have a majority 74 or more delegates in the convention. ¥ Mr. Hill, in addition to demanding that Senator Weller publicly state how he stands on the liquor qu —which the Senator has failed to do— has asked Senator Weller what he now thinks about the World Court. Senator Weller voted for American adherence to the court in the Senate, and Mr. Hill has declared his oppo- ition to American adherence. But Senator Weller has said no more about the World Court than he has about the liquor question during the campaign. Nor does any one in the State seem to be taking the World Court issue very seriously. Weller Tactics Differ. ! Senator Weller does not believe in speechmaking and the kind of cam- paign conducted by Mr. Hill and many other politicians. He believes rather in a letter-writing campaign, in call- ing in leaders and in (hi Various counties, districts and| precincts and going over matters with them. He has been hard at work per- fecting his organization for a long time, and is putting his theory into practice today. 5 P ailing to met Senator Weller to ghtest attention to his at- attend any of the meetings acks or to # e Hill has invited him, to which Mr. the latter has adopted a practice of an empty chair on the stage him at his meetings and ad- sing the chair as if it were oc- by Senmator Weller, asking and commenting upon the silence which ensues. 2 e am Hettloman is the Weller candidate for nomination to the House in the third district, now rep- resented by Mr. Hill, and the Hill placing’ candidate for this nomination is John McGinity. Hettleman has chal- lenged McGinity and Hill to whether or not there is an under- standing betwen them that if Hill is not nominated for the Senate, Mc- Ginity will step aside and permit Hill to make the run for the House again in November. Neither has replied di- rectly to this question, though Mr. Hill has said that he himself will be nominated for the Senate and Mc- Ginity will go through for the House. Wiillam Milnes Maloy, who is op- posing Gov. Ritchie for the Demo- company is to be located will recé{ve great benefit from the taxes paid by the Pennsylvania corporation, whidl will enable the county either to re- duce its tax rate or to redouble its expenditures for schools, roads, etc. While Maloy makes no claim of be- |ing a 100 per cent prohibitionist, he does make a promise that if elected governor he will undertake to enforce the prohibition law, which he charges Ritchie does not do. This has gained | Maloy the indorsement of many of the drys in the State. United Democratic Law Enforcement Clubs have been formed and they have favored Maloy. Not a few of the Democratic women are up in arms against the governor. Ritchlie Has Been Active. Gov.

Ritchie include the third term, Ritchie having been elected to two terms, the only Governor of Mary- land’ to serve two terms since the Civil War, and now seeking a third term, which Maloy says is in viola- tion of the Democratic principle of rotation in office. Mr. Maloy has also atacked the Governor on the ground that he is too friendly to the corporations. Specifically he has charged that Gov. Ritchie permitted the water power in the Susquehanna River near Como- wingo to be sold to Pennsylvania. None of this power will come to Balti- more, but all will ga'to Pennsylvania and elsewhere, it is declared. Maloy charges further that the Arundel Corporation, In which are found some of Gov. Ritchie's strongest backers for a third term, has been granted a $22,000,000 contract to build the dam at Conowingo for the water power company, all to the prejudice of the State’s interests. It has been replied on behalf of Gov.
