State Senator Bouic Causes Anxiety
to His Friends.


Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star
ROCKVILLE, Md. October IS. 1901.
The attitude of State Senator W. " Bouic
and many of his Montgomery county
friends in the present campaign is causing
the democratic managers no little concern.
1t is well known that during his career in
the senate Mr.. Bouic was a consistent
party man, and had it not been for his vote
the partisan legislation enacted at the re-
cent extra session of the legislature would
not now be on the statute books. Senator
Bou1c Is not alone in thinking that the least
ms party could have done for him in re-
turn for his services was to have given him
a denomination, and 1t is understood from
unquestioned authority that the state lead
ers assured him that they would lend him
every assistance In attaining this desire.
The appearance of Spencer c. Jones, the
undlsputed German leader in the county as
a, candidate for this nomination caused
much Indignation among many of Senator
Boulc friends and aroused the senator
himself to hign pitch of bitterness.
No one seriously doubts that if the state
leaders had been sincere in their represen-
tatlons to Mr.. Bcuic, Mr.. Jones would
never have announced his candidacy Sem
ator Bouic does not hesitate to openly
charge that he was betrayed, and many of
MS friends join in the accusation. There
Is no doubt that Mr.. Bouic will vote
against at least a portion of the demo-
cratic ticket and reports from different sec
tions of the county indicate that a large
number of his friends will do likewise
This detection cannot be accurately esti-
mated, but 1t begins to look as if it will
be sufficiently great to prove disastrous to
the chances of at least a portion of the
democratic ticket
