Hard to Get Campaign Money.


complained Of dearth OF money to pay
even the legitimate expenses of the cam
paign. and the outlook, they say is not en-
couraging for any large increase in the
amount in the party treasury. Mr. Jack
son, the republican candidate in the first
district is very rich man. and is bearing
the expense ct his contest himself The
other candidates on both sides are none Of
them rich men. consequently they arc ASK
ing for aid from their friends some of
Wnom are making contributions, but hot to
any liberal extent. Most of those who are
really interested in politics are saving their
contributions for use next wear when a
governor, legislature and full state ticket
will be chosen. and when the legislature TO
be elected will choose a successor tn Sena-
tor McComas
In speaking of the contest Chairman
Goldsborough of the republican state COM
mittee said TO The Star correspondent to-
day:
The republicans will certainly elect four
out OF the six members of the House from
this state, that is. Jackson in the first dis
trict, Wachter in the third district Mudd in
the fifth district and Pearre in the sixth
district. The Sc gentlemen are sure of re-
election.
In the second district the fight will be
close. but bsiieve we shall elect Page and
the same may be said Of Schirm in the
fourth district. The republicans in all Darts
of the state are united as they have not
been for years, and, far as the vote is
registered, people will come ont and
vote their party ticket. While the registra-
tlon has been light on both sides we have
registered more voters In proportion than
our opponents, and while the independents
are not openly taking part in the Gamma ign
a large proportion of them will vote, as
usual for the republican nominees"
chairman Nandiver Of the democratic
state committee said:
Il am not ma king claims but Won will 500
when the ballots are counted that we have
won While we have not much money. we
are working. all the same. and are doing
our work feCtively. | am confident that
We shall elect at least four REPRESENTATIVES.
and We may elect five. The absence of en-
thusiasm viii not hurt us in the least Our
vote Will come out on election day and that
is all We want"
Activity of Mr.. German.
Senator-elect German makes frequent
visits to democratic headquarters and
seems much interested in the contest Sem
ator McComas is In Baltimore very often,
and is doing all in his power to aid his
party. and when here last seemed confident
of success.
The best opinion here seems to be that
the republicans will elect four out OF the
six representatives-that is, Jackson In the
first district, Wachter in the third Mudd
IN the NTH and Pearre In the sixth On all
siues TINS opinion Is expressed by the
shrewdest politicians in both parties and
IL Is the general belief among all classes of
people that Mr.. Talbot, democrat will
carry the second district and Mr. Denny
Will defeat Mr.. Schirm in the fourth dis
trict. vi u''
Senator John T. Morgan OF Alabama, who
Is al hennertS Hotel, Baltimore, said to-
Jay that ne believed 1t would be much bet
yer tor the democratic party to have the
tepupiicans retain control of the House for
the next congress. because in that event
no responsibility could be laid on the DEM
ocrats dun Ing the present administration.
