in favor of the election of Hon.
Isador Rayner to the United
States Senate, can not be
denied, but that the whole
people of the State are enthusi-
astic in their support of him, as
the Baltimore San would try to
make it appear, is certainly a
mistake. The brilliant attain
ments of Mr.. Rayner make him
an attractive candidate for the
position. and many persons, in
the first flush of consideration,
turn toward him. But when
the situation is thoroughly can
vassed. and the claims and
merits of the several candidates
given proper weight, Mr..
Rayner loses ground. There
are other qualifications for a
United States Senator besides
oratory. Senator German is
not an orator by any means, yet
he is at present, and was when
a member of the Senate before,
a leader among his colleagues
and a potent factor in all
national legislation. Governor
Smith is not an orator, but he
speaks we'll, and his record as
Governor shows that he
possesses the ability to handle
questions of range and inn
portance, and to express himF
self upon them clearly. Asa
competent representative, quail
fled to take care of the interest
of his State, and to join in the
consideration of matters affect
ing the general government,
Gov. Smith would bring to bear
a trained mind, an extended
experience, and the best of
common sense, which is better
than oratorical pYrotechnics.
Besides he is a Democrat tried
and true.

SMITH AND RAYNER.
Easton Ledger.

Easton Ledger.
1t is a fact that, leaving the
political equation entirely out
of view, the sentiment of the
plain average good citize n
prefers having his State repre-
sented in the Senate of the
United States in the future
when the times that are coming
may be times of stress. by the
cool sagacity, broad business
perceptions and the compre-
hensive conclusions of we'll
balanced and thoroughly train
ed mind to the platform elo
quence of even so able a man
as Rayner. 1t is the Eastern
Shores way.
Kent News.
THIS strong array of Demo
cratic newspapers in favor of
Governor Smith tells the whole
story. 1t signifies his merit
the great preponderance of his
CT aims over Mr.. Rayner.
These newspapers are the
watchful guardians of the par
ty. They are always true, and
they are we'll qualified to ex-
press correct thought.
Governor Smith stands out
conspicuously very far beyond
Mr.. Rayner in any preferment
that should be bestowed. His
life service for his party and
his great personal sacrifices
have been unequalled in the
State except by Senator Cor
man. In stronger and more
favorable light still is his con-
duct shown in the last cam
paign when compared with Mr..
Rayner. Governor Smiths look
ed apparently to the success of
the whole ticket. Mr. Rayner's
to himself. Gov. Smith never
once spoke of his own candida
cy, but Mr.. Rayner entered the
contest at a critical juncture
and risked the defeat of the
whole State and city ticket by
forcing his personal candidacy
for Senator and demanding
pledges of support from the
whole city delegation! Nor ,Uould
he cease has demands or actively ente,
the battle for his party acntil the city
delegates 'oere pledged to cote for him!
We do not know more repre-
hensible political conduct than
this. We dislike to refer to it,
and would not, but for the at
tempt upon the part of his
lends to ignore it. That alone
>uld defeat him and give the
ion to any other candidate
ference.

AVERAGES OF PLAYERS.
Record of Black Sox Thus Far is
 Good,

If the Black Sox hold up their batting, fielding and pitching records during the championship struggle this summer. local fans will certainly have no cause to haul out their hammers.
 While the batting Is not up to the standard set in the exhibition games, IL should be taken into consideration tnat the pitchers that the locals are going up against now are pitching the best ball that they have in their repertoire While during the exhibition games the pltcn- CTS for the most part took things easy and saved their arms.
 Ike Durett leads the individual battlng with six hits in four games, an average of .42S. Clark Is next with five hits in four games, an average of .4l5. Whistler and Kanzler tie though kanzler has nVe hits to Whistlers four.
 Manager Whistler leads the helding with thirty-four chances at first base, without an error. Ike Durett also has a clean record with four put-outs and no erros in left field. Wilkie Clark has the best record of the bunch, with only one error in forty-one chances
 Oscar Streit, of course. leads the pltch- CTS, and, for the matter of that. has a record that will hardly be equaHed by any pitcher in the country this season. In his game he struck out fourteen men, only gave three bases on balls and three hits. While Hopkins was hit hard he only gave four bases on balls and struck out four men.
 The averages for the four games, in cluding Fridays Birmingham game, are:

Montgomery Achieves Victory ir Errorless Game, But Brewton Says Mahoney Did It With
 Bad Decision.

Brewton. May 2-(Special) )-The third game of the series went to Montgomery this afternoon in the last half of the ninth inning on a rank decision of Ma honey, the umpire. Up to that time no team.
 The Brewtons had been retired in one, two, three order, and the Highlanders were in. With all bases full and one scraper just behind short, which was beautifully handled by Womble. Steele, on third, failed to tag the bag by fifteen feet, but he galloped in home. the sphere being thrown to third. The um- pire refused to call the runner out. Ma honey's umpiring up to this time had been gilt-edged, but this decision created dissatisfaction from all spectators pres ent. MT. Mahoney being subject to very severe criticism by every member of the Brewton team. Following is the official score.
