L0WNDES FOR
VICE-PRESIDENT,
SOUTHERN MAN NEEDED
Depends Upon Republicans Carrying
Maryland For Williams In November.

With Senator Fairbanks out of the
race. there is no candidate for second
pace on the Republican Ticket in sight
just now. and Il suggestion Of former
Governor l.owmdeS, of Maryland. has
been made.
The New York Times" on Monday
morning. htd the following from its
WASHINGTON correspondent :
The campaign in Maryland. which is
now in full swing, is one of National
Importance to both parties.
Should the Republicans win in Nuvcm-
her. it is Thought Mr.. Gulmans Prt~i-
dcLtial boom wOukl be 10 longer Il sub
ject of concern To HIS own party or
theirs. In the event of their success it
would forCrshalow the carrying of the
Maryland electoral vote by the Republic
cars again in 1904. and it is comtendcd
THAT this new strategic Importance thus
given to the State would invest the
Maryland delegation to the next Repub-
icm National Convention with a pres
tige that might bring to their StaGc the
Nicc-p Presidential nomination.
If it becomes apparent that Mr.. RooNe-
welt will need the vote Of one or more of
lit bol'ltI 'NbHltH~, IL IL ltilHtNtHl lllill IN
Governor LownNleS will have Il larger
following for the Vice Presidential nom
nation than any other Republican from
either of these States.
Having been once elected Governor of
Maryland. his popularity has been proved
beyond all doubt. Then. too, his record
both as Il member of Congress for years
and in the Executive Office at Anna-
polls would add t" his prestige, to say
nothing of the other elements of strength
Possessed by him which may be needed
by the Republicans in the National con-
test next wear
While little is being said Hbout it yet,
still it is understood that if the Repub-
LEANS carry the Legislature this fall,
Senator McCNmaS will have to face a
hard contest for reelection. In point of
fact, the race for Senator is wide open
among the Republicans. and there is an
intimation abroad thnt the powers ut
Washington soon will be appealed to BY
