4 4 RESULT UNCERTAIN INPRINCE GEORGES Republicans Make Strong Challenge in County—Pro- gressives a Factor. BY GEORGE PORTER, Staft Correspondent of The Star. UPPER MARLBORO, Md, November —1It's still anybody's election in Prince Georges County and, barring unexpected last-day developments, will remain so until the votes are counted. Rash, indeed, would be the prophet who ventured to predict which party will win, or which candidates will cap- ture specific offices. There are, perhaps, four exceptions, which prove this rule. Leaders of the Republican party will tell you in mo- ments of confidence, that they do not | expect to defeat Stephen W. Gamobrill, who is running for re-election to Con- gress, nor Summerfield D. Hall, who is seeking to serve another term as clerk of the Circut Court. And Democratic chieftains confess in unguarded mo- ments, that, of course, Willam T. Davis, Republican, will be re-elected register of wills. Election a Tradition. It is a comforting and reassuring fact, outstanding in the too-sordid pages of the county's political history, that Mr. Hall and Mr. Davis have, through more than a decade of consci- entious service, won the esteem of the voters. Under such circumstances it 18 not"strange that voting for them has become a tradition. Although both, with becoming modesty, continue to profess some doubt as to their re- election, the defeat of either would be one of the biggest political upsets in the country’s annals. Both are opposed by men of high reputation. John H. Fetty. mayor of Laurel, is the Republican candidate for clerk of the Circult Court, and Harry E. Lusby the Democratic candidate for register of wills. Pre-election “dope” would also seem to concede the re-election of State Sen- ator Sasscer, Democrat, althcugh Re- publican leaders would die before ad- mitting it. Senator Sasscer is another man who has got the people in the habit of voting for him, having already served two terms in the Upper House. 1 by the ticket chosen. ing” has been almost % an outside organisation—the . m:‘“""‘ together with the Munie. group, r wi - ipal Association and the Law Enforce- ment League, endeavored to unite in picking a ticket composed of dates from both parties. This was done over the protest of a few members of the Municipal Association and with the qualified consent of the Law En- forcement League, which conducted a poll of its own and announced the names of those who received the major- In both the Ta: ' and Muniei- pal associations’ slate and the Enforce- ment League's poll more Republican candidates were favored than Demo- cratic. But from the debates at meet- ings of the two associations it was evi- dent that the members would in many instances not consider themselves bound An impartial ob- server, attending only a few of the| meetings, could not help conclude that, the Democratic members would con- tinue to vote the Democratic ticket and the Republican members the Repubii- can ticket, irrespective of the recom- mendations of the leaders. Republican Platform Issued. Another unique feature of the current campaign was issuance of a county platiorm by the Republicans. This| document, containing eight planks, set forth the G. O. P. aims in regard to law and order, suburban branches of county offices, county roads, the Sani- tary and Park commissions and the declaration of intention act. It is be- lieved to be the first printed county platform ever issued in Prince Georges. A few days prior to the publication of this platform the Democratic lead- ers announced their candidates were pledged to the separation of the police force from the sheriff's office. The Re- publican platform revealed that party also favored such a change. X The Democrats failed to “follow suit” in regard to a platform, but all of their legislative candidates signed an answer to a questionnaire from the Municipal Association which put them on record in regard to several current questions. A final factor to be consideied in studying the election outlook is that the Democrats increased their majority on the registration books from approxi- mately 900 to nearly 1600 this year. Each party has interpreted this as fa- to its cause. SO ALOGNTED FOR LEE HEHWAY As head of the county's legislative dele- gation. he, of course, is held responsible for all the unpopular laws that have beer. passed and all the presumably ular bills that falled to pass. 'To offset this he is given credit for much beneficial legislation, and as attorney for several incorporated towns has won various important suits that boosted his_popularity. Virginia Board Votes Addi- tional Sum for Construction of Boulevard. BY LESTER N. INSKEEP, His opponent, William R. Smallwood, was o ly a candidate for the ‘House Delegates, but flled for the Senate to fill a vacancy on the Repub- lican tieket. Smallwood insists that from the moment he filed he had no intention of withdrawing, but it is com- mon knowledge that Republican leaders made overtures to at least three ver- sons to head the ticket after Smallwood filed. Others Evenly Matched. 0 tions of public sentiment can satisfy themselves as to which will win. In the county treasurer race, for ex- ample, Brice Bowie, Democratic secre- tary to the county commissioners, who is committed to appoint R.

Queen Anne district, one of the sections of the county, and some years ago the G. O. P. succeeded in winning with a “dark horse” from that section. Both paries, of course, are making strenuous efforts to elect their candi- dates to the House of Delegates. Charles C. Marbury appears to be the most popular Democratic candidate, with Oliver Metzerott the outstanding Republican nominee for the six seats the county now has in the Lower House. | It is difficult, on the strength of pre- | election indications, to count these men out of the winners. Other Democratic candidates for the | House are William F. Keys. J. Guy Bell and Kent R. Mullikin, who are run- ning for re-election, and William H. Anglin and William E. Clifton. Metzerott's running mates are Robert G. MacCartee, George P. MecCeney, Richard C. Zantzinger, Bird H. Dolby and W. W. James. Commissioner Fight Hot. Perhaps the hottest fight of the elec- tion is being waged for five seats on the Board of County Commissioners, and this battle is also producing one of the most interesting sidelights of the election because of the candidacy of Mrs. Mary W. Browning, Democrat. | A woman candidate is a novelty in the county, although there are two in the campaign this year, the other being Mrs. Lulu A. Bickford, Republican can- | didate for the Orphans' Court. Mrs. Browning’s success as a home- maker and as the head of a live stock business convinced Democratic leaders that they could count heavily on her in the coming election. She already has had experience as a county com- missioner, having been appointed to the board about a year ago. Her success or failure may in a large measure deter- mine which party gains control of the board. At all events, her showing at the polls will be watched with unusual interest. Walter M. Grimes is another Demo- crat recently appointed to the board who is seeking election. Through a co- incidence both parties have an auto dealer on their county commissioner slate. They are O. W. Phair, Democrat, of Laurel, and Frank Small, jr. Re- publican, of Meadows. The Democrats are also making a bid for the vote of the County Volunteer Pire Association, with Prancis H. Crown, an active member of that bodly, on their county commissioner ticket. Their other nominee for the board is Robert E Brown. George N. Bowen and Willlam A. Middleton, merchants and civic leaders of the suburban area, are expected to make strong bids for county commis- sionerships _as Republican candidates. Charles A. Ryon and William H.

CLARENDON, Va., November 1.— Any uncertainty as to the intention of the Virginia State Highway Commis- sion to have the Lee Boulevard com- pleted in time for the Bicentennial Celebration in 1932 is believed to be dispelled by the tentative allocation of an additional $100,000 toward the con- struction of that highway, the addi- tional allocation being he- Tt prepared by the on prepared by the commission for the public is to be held November 11 at Culpeper, but was believed by many persons who saw the list to have been a “carry-over” of the same amount that was allocated last year for the of the boule- vndLnnd which not as yet been spen An explanation of the item has been BT. jr., an the Lee Boulevard Associa- tion, from Wade Massey, member of the State commission from this district, the latter lvmunuunnu that this is a secont tion, bringing the total amount provided to date for the boulevard to $200,000.

The Lee Boulevard allocation is the only one tentatively made for Arlington County for the coming year, although the commission will at the coming hearing consider recommendations for additional mileage under the Porter- Rhodes act. Two miles are to be allo- cated to the coynty this year under this act, but no itional funds are to_be provided. It is generally understood that the highway commissjon hopes for a unan- imous recommendation from the board of county supervisors that the boule- vard allocation stand as tentatively made in order that the actual construec- tion of the road can be rushed upon the completion of the right-of-way de- tails. Commissioner H. G.

MONTGOMERY SAFE, DEMOCRATS FEEL Contest Warm for Five Seats in County Board of Com- missioners. BY WILLIAM S. TARVER, Staft Oorrespondent of The Star. ROCK!

The excitement which characterized the primary election is lacking in_the | campaign now drawing to a close. Two months ago the entire county, Repub- licans and Democrats alike, was agog, and Eolmm Was a raging fever that brought people onto the streets and to other public places to discuss the latest developments. Montgomery was the stage on which was being enacted the latest chapter in an 18-year struggle for control of the Democratic party, which has been identified with the county gov- ernment since the Civil War.

Politics be- came the sole occupation for large groups in many communities and regis- tration day before the primary election brought out a greater number of new voters than ever before in the history of the county. A dramatic element was added to the situation by the long- standing rivalry between the Lee and Peter families.

More than 4,000 votes were cast by the minority Democrats in the rimary election, and the wholesale de- ivery of this block in all probability, it is recognized, would place the Re; licans in office.

It is the number of votes each of these groups will eontain which leaves the outcome of the election a& matter of conjecture among the voters, in the face of otimistic reports of rival political leaders. The Republicans, also, are having their troubles inside their own party.

The congressional, judicial and State- wide side 10 the approaching election apparently has exercised little influence on the politics line-up within the county. All candidates are expected to run nearly even with the county situa- tion determining how the voting will for offices outside Montgomery ity. Two underiying motives will gulde the voters at the polls. Democrats will cast their ballots to extend through an- | 098! other four years, the State and county governmental policies of the past decade, while Republicans will seek to end the 11-year political domination of Gov. Al- bert C. Ritchie and Maj. Lee. This failure to agree on issues has been one of the features of the cam- paign. Only in one respect do both parties concur—proponents of each say the issues in Montgomery County and 1n the State are the same. ‘The Democrats point to their 11-year record and say they are willing to stand on it and take their chances that the voters wili want them to continue what they have begun.

The Montgomery Repub- licans have taken the cue and cen- tered their campaign around an attack on Maj. Lee, who, although not a can- didate, is still the recognized head of the Democratic party in the county. Their attacks particularly those of Representative Frederick N.

NEW COUNTY PLAN GAUSES WIDE STIR Proposal to Change Arlington Government First of Kind in State. By a Staff Correspondent of Th ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT HOUSE, Va., November 1.—The pro- posal to change the present form of county gw:rnmem in Arlington County, which will be voted upon next Tuesday, will be the first attempt of its kind in Virginia and as such is viewed with statewide interest. Prior to the adoption of the new con- stitution no change was permitted in the type of local government, but the General Assembly, forseeing that the future would bring about a demand for more modern methods in local govern- ment, ratified this provision in the con- stitution. Until the last session of that body, however, no attempt was made by any county to take advantage of the provision. At the last session two bills were in- troduced by Delegate Hugh Reid of Arlington, and both passed. One of these acts permits a vote on the adop- tion of a commission or county man- ager form, with abolition of magis- terial districts, or the retention of the pub- | Present form, and the second permits a vote on incol tion. A study of available forms by the Civic Federation, Chamber of Com- merce and Bar Association resulted in recommendation e new forms provided in the first act shall be adopted will be decided at the polls. The question of Incorporation is not at this time, but may be voted ‘The Civic Federation, chief sponsor of the change, has conducted an active campaign in behalf of the county man- ager form, bringing it to a climax by the hu‘: nu!‘ the radio &s a means of reaching the greatest number of voters.

The Voters' Service Club has attack- ed the proposed change as an unneces- sary experiment at this time, claiming that it will increase the cost of govern- ment. Forman's attack upon the pro- posed change answered by Arthur Orr, a member of the special committee of the Civic Federation and by Thomas R. Mechem, a member of the local Democratic Committee, the latter declaring that Forman had at one time expressed himself as favoring the plan. In answer to this Forman declared to- day that he had made such an expres- sion before he was wholly acquainted with the detalls of the proposed c! and before he learned that it would an additional expense. “I think the preparation for a change has been improperly handled and that an attempt is being made to rush the matter through without the public having ample time to digest just | what the change means,” he declared today. “Later on,” he said, “when the State has provided our ap- roaches and other developments have n completed I think we should in- corporate into a city and I see no rea- :olx: for experirienting in the mean- Inereased Expense Denied. Circulated reports that the adoption of the county manager form will re- sult in a general increase in the cost of and expenses, were denied by Robert N. Anderson, chairman of e Civic Federation Committee. These reports have stated varlously that adoption of the plan will resuit in an extra license tax for automobiles, ex~ tra license tax on every merchant do- ing business in the county, extra li- cense tax on all professions, additional tax increases and permit fees, one-man , creation of additional offices cal lucrative compensation and a Emlbl. for jobs by the proponents of Le plan.

The cha.ge of “one-man” control is equally false. he claims. Explaining the dutles of the county manager, he says that the former will have no voice in the determination of county policles except to the extent the board may ask hin_for advice. The board decides what work is to be done and the county man- ager accom ‘ishes this work in his own way, the board having no authority to in with the methods he employs. The county manager plan advocated is tterned the city manager plans use .. 27 citles of the State and 400 cities of the country, he says, and is therefore not an experiment. As to the creation of additional jobs, Anderson claims that there is no limit to the power of the present board of super- visors to create new offices with salaries as high as they wish to fix and that there is no reason why the new board should be more disposed to abuse that discretion than the board under the g!_gnt form of !overnment.
