The Maryland Senator to Have His First
Conference With the Candidate.
Speculation AS to the Subject to BE
Discussed-Chafrman Faulk-
ner's Callers Today.

II Senator German is going to do any
coaching of Candidate Bryan the work will
be done today. The Maryland Senator will
meet the democratic candidate today or to-
night for the first time for a personal con-
ference
Senator German came to the city this
morning and went to democratic head
quarters
will you be at the meeting?" Star re-
porter asked the Senator.
Not the one here" was the answer.
Then the Senator said that he would be at
the Baltimore meeting tonight.
VIII you go to Baltimore tonight on the
train with Mr.. Bryan?"
Il expect 1 will"
This. then. will be the first meeting of
the two men since the campaign began
ana since the nomination of the Nebraskan
at Chicago There is little doubt that the
Senator has written to the democratic can
didate but his always cautious disposition
would have prevented him, If he had done
So from saying too much. The meeting
To-Day Will afford him an opportunity he
has probably been wanting, and it will
come Iii such d way not to have the
effect of being q premeditated affair." Moth
ing is more natural than that the MARYLAND
senator should be present at the first meet
ing the candidate addresses in Maryland.
III ne We're not present the inference would
De that he was opposed to the candidate
senator German will utilize the opportun-
lty TO express his views; that is if he
knows the candidate would like to have
mem. and It is pretty well established now
that Candidate Bryan is glad of the CO.
operation and support Of the Marylander
Inc meeting will revive the talk about
the bitter opposition of Senator German
10 MI Bryan talking too much. 1t Is not
known how much there is in this alleged
opposltfon, except on the general prin-
clple that Senator German believes that
the less a man opens his mouth the bet
ever. may not attempt to prevail on Mr..
Bryan on this subject. knowing Mr.
Bryans deter nina ton to speak as often
as he pleases. but there are certain points
about his speaking that the Senator can
talk with him about, and might prevail
| on him to adopt. These are points which
relate to the applicability of certain
phrases of speech in certain sections of
the country, and all the other little nice
ties big candidate is expected to look
after to make votes.
Mr.. Bryan and Senator German may con-
Ter about the eastern situation. 1t is per-
fectly natural they should do So in view
or the fact that Senator German is sup
posed to have been intrusted with the
management of the eastern campaign
Whether he manages 1t or not he will at
least be big factor in the campaign. so
big that Mr.. Bryan will be glad to talk
with him about affairs
Another story about Senator German has
started the rounds. 1t is said that he has
| been deputed by the democratic managers
| to arrange for the withdrawal of Sewall
from the democratic ticket. This story
| will be regarded as mythical. because Of
| several reasons. One Is that Candidate
Bryan has just made an engagement to
speak in Maine and to spend several days
with Mr. Sewall- The engagement is mo-.
lar on 1t could come about that Mr..
Sewall would resign after this meeting.
All this. however, is speculation.
