Senator Arthur P. German arrived at
his home near here late Saturday evening
after more than weeks trip to New York.
While the Senator would neither affirm nor
deny the rumor that he was to take charge
OF the Bryan campaign in the. east, there
Is every reason to believe that the Senator
will do EoI 1T is also certain that Mr.. Cor
man Will make several speeches during the
next four weeks Of the campaign His, first
speech will be delivered here tomorrow
night. when he will preside at the Bryan.
Sc wall and Mess ratification meeting, which
will be held under the auspices of the Lau-
rel Democratic Club. This speech will be
followed by others at Baltimore and other
parts of the state. The Senator, 1t is be-
lieved is now hopeful OF carrying Mary
land for Bryan. The large meeting at
Baltlnc Gre, at which Bryan spoke, and at
which the Senator was present. no doubt
strengthened the Senator's belief in the
fact that the silver movement In Maryland
was of no small dime nsions. Mr.. German
realizes that considerable weight rests
upon the registration, and is Rnxiousr that
both in the counties and the city of Balti-
more the full dsinocfatic vote shall be got
ten out, not only for the election this year.
but for the one next year. at which d legis-
lature. which will elect his successor, will
