ELECTION RESULTS PLEMERNOR Adoption Of Amendments Marks Consummation Of State Re organization Plan Governor Ritchie who manifested ; Hie keenest interest in the late eam : palgu lias issued the following state , rnent concerning general results of the election: ♦ ' Ihe adoption of the Fewer Elec tions amendment and of the Comptrol ler-Treasurers' amendment marks the linal consummation of the reorganiza tion of Hie State Government of Mary land, which was the major plank in ihe Demorcatlc platform of mi and I which the people at that election ap proved. Hail yr this reorganization it was possible to effect by statute; the re mainder required Constitutional intendments. “The statutory part was passed by the Legislature of 1922 in the form recommended I v the Reorganization Commission, with no material change. Effective January 1 “This legislation goes into effect on January 1, 1923, and under It the ex ecutive and administrative depart ments cf the State government will be reduced from about 80. as at pres ent. to about 20. In addition to this, i council composed of the Governor nd important department heads will meet constantly to consider State af fairs. atid numerous provisions are made looking to greater economy and efficiency. "Tiie next result is sure to he a j much belter supervision over the pub-j lie business, a much closer connec tion between the work of tlte differ ent departments, and in general a governmental structure which will approach as nearly as possible the lines winch an efficient business cor poration would follow. The saving from the general reorganization promises to |e well over SIOO,OOO a year, without counting the saving which always comes from greater ef iictency. Fewer Flections Will Save *3S<MNH* "The Fewer Elections amendment will result in terms of four years for State ami county elective officials, and In atolishing ail but municipal elec tions every other year. This will re sult in a minimum saving of $350,- 000 every year. It will relieve the people of the unrest, the excitement, the interruptions to their business and the general economic loss which an nual primary and general elections cause. It will assure the highest pos sible grade of members of the Leg ! slat u re. “The other constitutional amend ment makes the terms of the Comp troller and the Treasurer four years | instead of two, so that they may con- M'nnflmird On !*•(•> 4.)

To day the last hard practice will be hold ’before the game against St. Xavier's on Saturday. Yesterday's work covered the dif ferent phases of' football, the varsity taking the ball for a portion of the time and then having a period of de fensive work, a strong scrub trying to carry the ball. While the Varsity had the- ball, straight plays were used mostly, though at) occasional for ward pass was interjected. Most of these worked for small or moderate gains, but on one occasion the pass was intercepted by DeSantis, an An napolis boy, who was playing on tlie second team back Held. In addition to Barchet and Math ews, Carney, left guard, and Norris, Barchet's understudy at fullback took a rest. Hughes played fullback for the whole scrimmage period, and did tine work. Except for his lack of weight, he has every element for a running back.* Conroy, McKee and Cullen made up the baektteld. at first, but were afterwards replaced by Fla herty, Flippin and Hamilton.

Senator Joseph I France, while the majority of Con gressman Mudd. Republican, over his defeated Democratic opponent. Clar ence M. Roberts, is 574.

If he is. it will le only for a short time. Others In (mmnl Trim With tho exception of slight injur ies. the rest of the team came through the Drexel setto unscathed and have leen putting in hard practice in prep aration for the conflict with Olon Kil , Unger's prodigies. Captain Kirkpatrick, who was un | able to play last Saturday, in all probability, will le able to start against the Carlisle aggregation. Fine!erg. the stalwart centre, is stil. on the casual list. Dickinson, in spite of the setback at the hands of Gettysburg, has a very formidable collection of football artists. In the game last Saturday several of the first string men were unable to play on account of injur ies. and Dailey, big Red and White rulllack. mainstay of the bnckfleld. played only a few minutes. At the beginning of the fray, Killinger's crew started with a rush and soon scored a touchdown. This, however, seemed to be the termination of their scoring power, and Gettysburg, tak ing advantage of the breaks, came out on tiie long end of tlie score. ~ " To **l*rep" rrrr Title Gurries After the Dickinson game.

The Saturday following the Dickinson game, his pets encounter Western Maryland, at Westminster. Then a week later comes the big game of the year, the game where all tho diligent practice, conditioning, polish-! ing and finishing is brought to bear, and the result decides whether th* season lias been a success or failure namely; tha game with Hopkins.
