SENATOR GoRMAN'S SOUTHERN TRIP.

baltimore. March % (Spec.al.-Thcre Is considerable
talk in political circles here over senator Germans
southern tour. 1t was given out in Washington be-
fore his departure that the trip was principally for
rest and recreation and incidentally TO learn the feeling
Of leading southern Democrats as TO the Speakership
OF the next House Of Representatives. But the real
object OF the journey, said a close political friend OF
the senator today, was quietly to feel the pulse OF
the southern people regarding German as a PrcSi-
Dental candidate. Mr. German will make a fight for
the nomination. said his friend. II he finds that the
actual feeling of the Southern people IS as strong for
him as the Southern papers declare it Is, lie VIII at
least control the southern State delegations at the
convention and will dictate the head Of the ticket.
lie will not help in the slightest TO nominate Clcvc-
land and VIII. ii Is believed, favor a Western man for
first choice. Should there be Il contest. the southern
delegations at the proper time viii name German
and he will certainly get the nomination. Whenever
any OF his friends mention in hs presence the pos
sibility Of his receiving the nomination he only laughs,
but Il the opportunity presents itself IL is believed
that he will not be slow 10 embrace It. Congressman
barnes Compton, who accompanies the senator, is
doing the important work Of getting the opinions Of
prominent southern politicians upon the outlook.
