Editor Of The Times:
oir,-Iour article Of recent date in re-
gard to proclaiming the new Constitu-

paper as being out Of harmony with the
general tone Of The Times, especially
mat which seems to you ito be the logic
of the situation"
The Times, if I mistake not, as we'll as
the dominant political party in the State,
with other leading organs and authorl-
ties. and the most influential statesmen
and politicians, are in honor bound by
pledges, implied and expressed to use
their power to cause the Constitution
to be submitted to the present electo-
rate In short, there is no other proper
course for the convention to pursue.
The Times 'logic of the situation"
seems to us very illogical logic. In good
faith that the pledges Of the party, as
construed by the press and political
leaders, would be adhered to and that
they would have a vote on the new
Constitution. a small majority ordered

1t is now currently reported that
President Roosevelt will invite former
Governor Lowndes to become mem
Der of his Cabinet, to succeed Secretary
Long, of the Navy. The past Admin
lstrations have been hostile to Mary
lands hero, Admiral Schley, and it is
believed that the present move of
Roosevelt's would do much to allay
the hostility between Maryland and
the Administration. Lowndes Is a
firm and sincere friend of Admiral
Schley's and he may we'll be trusted to
vote the sentiments of Maryland in
the Schley controversy, which has
Just had such an unfortunate ending.
Should he accept the invitation, we
may expect some new developments
which the whole naval clique, in whose
hands Long has been such tool
cannot prevent.
