Troy Times, Rep.

Mr. German. of Maryland, who has just
returned to the United Slales Senate, has been
chosen as the Democratic leader OF that body.
The promptness with which the selection was
made shows how utterly disguised the minority
has become with the sort Of leadership il has
possessed lately.

none more surely than to men like Arthur
Pue German The Democratic Senators have
done wisely in choosing him to be their leader
on the Senate floor. He has been familiar
with the Senate from boy-hood-he was once
a page-and he knows all the ins and outs OF
the r1les. traditions, customs and courtesies
that are the fetishes of that body.

Senator German was given an ovation in
the Senate on his return to that body after
four wears retirement. The Democrats real
ize that they have a leader among them again.
and the Republicans, with the spirit Of true
sportsmen, welcome wary antagonist. Cor
man will almost surely resume his old place as
leader of his party in the Senate, especially
since his titular successor. that woeful failure,
James K. Jones. is out of the Senate and can
not make pretenson to dispute the honor
with the Marylander.

The election of Senator German to his old
place of Chairman of the Democratic Senate
caucus, and as such leader of his party in the
upper house, has caused much newspaper
comment, of which the following are extracts:
