Jones Favored for Governor by Montgomery County Democrats
Democratic leaders from all parts of Montgomery County gathered in Rockville for the weekly field day as candidates for the coming nominating summer gathered. Col Spencer C. Jones appears set to name the county delegation to the gubernatorial convention with little opposition, despite some senior figures like State Senator Blair Lee and Robert G. Milton privately pushing a fight. Party leaders weigh concessions if Jones is unopposed, while the Peter faction seeks influence over the State central committee and local organization. Without Peter’s active support, the anti Jones faction would struggle to block him.
