Allegany County Md. Campaign Buttons 07

Luther C. “Luke” Cox asked, “Let me FIGHT for you.” He along with Bill King, Joseph F. Neder, Ira W. Whittington, James Orr (who served two terms as Allegany County Commissioner from 1950-1958), and Cora Bowser have been among the many who sought election, or re-election as in King, Orr, and Bowser’s case, to the Allegany County Republican State Central Committee. Luther Cox also ran, unsuccessfully, for a seat on the Cumberland City Council, once in 1978, and again in 1982.

The LaVale Suburbanite May 1976 issue ran a political notice for William R. King noting that he had been elected to the Republican State Central Committee in 1966, 1970, and 1974, was presently serving as a committee member, was a former County Chairman, and was a former member of the Maryland Republican Party Executive Committee.
