The halls of the chamber rang with cheers and applause as Barnard Welch, Republican leader, told the Senator that Montgomery County was going to have its courthouse, because the coun- ty was essing so rapidly that no one could hold it back and survive. For the 20 minutes that he occupied the floor he kept the audience applaud- ing almost continuously, with frequent outbursts of cheering. Dawson Makes Address. ‘Thomas L. Dawson of the Republican county committee told the Senators that Rockville should be developed and known as the county seat, instead of being referred to as a suburb of the National Capital. All political faiths were represented. There were people representing business organizations, civic organizations, the farmers, in fact every phase of Mont- gomery County life, including the women's clubs. They all wanted to see the county continue to grow, they said, and those who didn’t speak voiced their approval of the remarks by prolonged applause at frequent intervals. It was a holiday in Rockville. The courts were adjourned and the grand jury came in a body. ‘The forces moved out of Rockville be- ginning at noon, piloted by two motor cycle police outriders. Starting with only a few vehicles, the caravan, like a snowball, gathered welght as it rolled on until, when it arrived at the states- house, the forces which flooded into the chamber packed the seats, filled the aisles, jammed the wells on either side of the X and packed ing.
