| in Tuesdays edition of the New York
Press the following dispatch from Wash.
ington is printed, in which il is stated
that Ex-Governor Lowndes. the brother
of r. I. Lowfldes, Of this city, is an
avowed candidate for the nomination Of
Vice President on the Republican ticket,
and that he is being doomed to run on
the ticket with Roosevelt:
Important politics was discussed at
the White House today when former
Postmaster General Gary and Lloyd
I.owndes, former governor Of Maryland
conferred with the President. Republic
can leaders from that state express the
belief the party has good chance Of
clecting its candidate for governor slcy-
enson A. Williams, and the value Of snrh
a victory to the national administration
was considered.
"The President feels deep personal
interest in the campaign, both in Mary
land and Kentucky, where the Repdbli.
cans are putting up the strongest kind
of fight. The President and former
Governor Lowndes are close personal
friends. When Mr. Lowndcs was mak.
ing his contest for reelection as GOV.
ernor, Mr.. Roosevelt, then governor Of
New York, went to Maryland and spoke
in his interest. 1t can be stated nov on
the best authority that Lloyd LowudQs
will be a candidate for the nomination
for vice president on the ticket with
the President next year Whether that
subject was talked over today Is con-
lecture, but it is known that Mr..
Iowndes's availability has been under
consideration by party leaders, and i
would not surprise them Il he were nom.
mated for Vice President, That is one
reason why Republicans, in Maryland
are especially anxious to have Mr., VIII
liams receive large vote for governor
next month.
Ills election not only would give tile
German political schemers body blow,
but it also would result probably in
United States Senator McComas's re-
election and would bring Lowndes for
ward prominently for recognition in the
national campaign. Mr.. Lowndes Is
wealthy man, with large coal and lumber
interests, which have brought him into
contact with many of the best known
inanciers in New York.
"Thc idea that the Republican eandi-
date for Vice President should come from
the Middle West. which always il urged
when The nominee for President i an.
Eastern man, it is pointed out, does not
apply strictly in The instance Of Presi.
dent Roosevelt. Having spent many
years in The West, and being everywhere
regarded there as an adopted son OF that
great section, it Is believed by many
that selection Of a man ike Mr.. Lowndes
from a Southern, or border state, would
be far better politics. Mr.. Lowndcs's
high standing in conservative business
circles in New York and other Eastern
cities also is urged as making him pc
culiarly acceptable for the nomination.
Roosevelt and Lowndes' is thc
straight tip for the composition of the
national ticket next year II would be
the first instance Of The nomination Of a
Republican from the South on the ma
tional ticket"
