Maryland politics have virtually monop-
olized the attention of the politicians
during the past week. This is due in part
to the efforts of President Roosevelt 10
bring about harmony between the repub-
lican factions of the state and to Senator
Germans resentment of this alleged in
reference of the Chief Executive in State
politics. The followers of Senator Nc
Comas and Representative Mudd have
carried on long and bitter struggle and
these factional differences seemed to ben
eft the democrats, who are carrying on
an aggressive campaign, with the race
question as the issue, and conscious of the
fact that the out come of the election will
have marked influence upon the polit-
ical fortunes of Senator German, the
States candidate for the democratic pres
idential nomination. In raising the negro
problem to an issue, the Maryland dem
ocrats have virtually made direct attack
on President Roosevelt, and his attitude
on this question is continually mentioned
and condemned. This gives more than
usual Importance to the fact that the
President has made earnest appeals to the
two republican factions to unite a1d elect
a republican governor and legislature.
He declares that he occupies an absolutely
neutral position between the factions and
that he is interested solely in the success
of the party without any reference to the
persons involved. Senator German was
very severe in his criticism of the Presi-
dent saying, "The President has assumed
to himself the title of chairman of the
state committee, so active is he looking
after the details of the campaign. Every
federal Office holder and every occupant
of state or municipal place whom the
President believes he can control has
been ordered by him to get out and
hustle" for the republican ticket. When
he was civil service commissioner under
the Harrison and Cleveland administra-
tons it was Roosevelt's habit to demand
that federal office holder who was
member of a state, city, or other political
committee should resign one or the other
place. Now that he is president, how
ever, he permits federal Office holders, ap
pointed either by him or by his subordi-
mates to engage as actively in campaign
as those who follow private vocations.
Every occupant of federal place in
Maryland is openly at work for the repub-
lican ticket, presumably under specific
orders from the President"

President Roosevelt on Tuesday called
the Fifty-eighth Congress into extraor-
binary session for November 9, to discuss
reciprocity with Cuba.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1903-10-23

There is a report that Speaker to-be
Cannon will enlarge the House commit
tee on rules in order to avoid the necessity
of removing Representatives Dalzell and
Grosvenor, who were on the last commit
tee and who are not in entire agreement
with the new Speaker on the wav in
which the business of the House should
be conducted. Many republican men,
bers would be glad to see these two men
omitted i'll the forming of the new COM
nittee, but such action would cause dis
sention in the party ranks, so the easier
way would be to add two more liberal
republicans who would support the
Speaker. This would necessitate adding
another democrat to the committee, and
as there are already two democratic mem
bers the committee would be a little
unwieldy. However, this is one of the
problems which confront the new speaker
and in solving it be should not lose sight
of the fact that many republicans favor
the adoption of more liberal rules, or at
least an abridgment of the powers of
Dalzell and Grosvenor, who are autocratic
and dictatorial advocates of the Reed
Henderson rules.

Prominent members of the House have
assured the President that the Cuban rec
iprocity resolution would be passed at the
extra session Of Congress. Representative
Jones of Washington, who was one of the
strongest opponents of the Cuban reci-
procity treaty in the last Congress, told
the President that although he still op-
posed the measure personally, he would
vote for it when it came up in the House.
The discussion will give the democrats an
opportunity to talk against the tariff and
it is expected that they will take every
advantage of it. Many speeches denounc-
ing the tariff will be useful during the
coming presidential campaign, so they
will be delivered in spite of the fact that
there is no hope of stopping the passage
of the resolution which will make the
treaty effective.
