RENTAL OF BUILDINGS.
Question Submitted to Controller BY
District Commissioners.

The right of the Commissioners to rent
buildings for municipal purposes when the
appropriation does not specifically provide
for rent has again come up and will be
forwarded to the controller of the treasury
in it's new shape. The building in ques-
ton this time Is the temporary home for
ex-Union soldiers and sailors at JOG Sd
street northwest. District Auditor John R.
Garrison has explained the matter in a let
ter to the Commissioners. as follows:
There is pending in this Office for audit
and payment by the disbursing officer of
the District the bill of Percival M. Brown,
trustee for the estate of P. w. Browning,
for the rent of house lO6 Sd street north
west. for the month of August. 1903. $50,
said house being rented and used as the
temporary home for eX-Union soldiers and
sailors under the appropriation. follows:
For temporary home for eX- Union soldiers,
Grand Army of the Republic. 81, 500, to be
expended under the direction of the Com
miSsioners of the District of Columbia
Since the fiscal year ended June 30, 1884,"
says Mr.. Garrison. Congress has provided
an appropriation for temporary home for
eX-UniOn soldiers and sailors in the District
in each annual District appropriation act;
and each appropriation for said home since
the fiscal year 1899 contains the provision
to be expended under the direction of the
Commissioners of the District of Columbia
ITO provide the home for ex-UniOn SOL
dierS and sailors for which the annual ap-
plopIldtioHS were maze Dy congress IL mas
been necessary to rent house for their ac-
commodation. While the appropriation acts
do not in terms provide for rent, 1t seems
clear that Congress, in placing the expend-
iture of the money appropriated under the
direction of the Commissioners conferred
the authority to rent building to be used
as house for these beneficiaries.
AS 1t is desirable to have the matter def
nitely determined before the audit and pay
ment of the pending bill for rent, l have
the honor to request the reference of the
question to the controller of the treasury
for his decision. whether the rent of the
building used as the temporary home is au-
thorized and payable from the aforenamed
approximation for the current fiscal year,
under the direction of the Commissioners
of the District of Columbia -

His Recent Decisive Cam
paign in Maryland.
COMING CON VENTION
WILLIAMS TO BE NOMINATED FOB
GOVERNOR BY ACCLAMATIoN.
Republicans Have Great Hopes of Suo,
cess and Then to Reflect Nc
Comas to the Senate

A prominent Maryland republican saysI
The victory in Maryland for Senator No
Comas was probably the most decisive that
has happened in the party in that state
for generation.
The county primaries held on
August 10. His friends then elected more
than seventy votes out of hundred votes
of the counties in the state convention. Tho
Baltimore primaries were held September
3. and the friends of McComas carried all
the twenty-eight votes of the city in tho
state convention. McComas' friends will
have ITO votes to 1s-the total vote OF the
convention being 12S
The senators and representatives nomi-
mated for the legislature who are likely to
win at the election will show more than
eight out of ten in favor of the reelection
of McComas to the Senate. The fact is tho
legislature is overwhelming for McComas
return to the Senate should it be republican
Strong in Baltimore.
THE counties have all along been united
and harmonious. There was a very spirit
ed fight in Baltimore city. That city was
30 overwhelmingly carried by Mr.. Stone
and his friends-the regular organization
and the defeat of the opposition was 80
ludicrous and sweeping that the primary
fight will be helpful to the party, and in
the city. like the counties. the republicans
will be united and aggressive. The tickets
throughout the state are unusually good
and there is every promise the local ticket
in Baltimore will be exceptionally strong.
THE state convention will meet on the
18th of September. Stevenson A. Williams
will be nominated for governor by acclama-
ton. and with him a strong state ticket.
Mr.. Williams is perhaps the best candidate
ever nominated by the republicans for gov
ernor In that state, clean. able and popular.
Many knowing democrats concede his cleo
ton. The legislative gerrymander Of Balti-
more by the democrats in the last legisla-
ture makes a republican majority in the
legislature somewhat more difficult to OBJ
tain, but the strength Of McComas and of
Williams 1t is believed will pull through the
legislative ticket in the city. The republi-
cans go into the fight with great hopes Of
success. The campaign will be short and
exciting"
Will Elect the State Ticket.
Unless the democrats overwhelm us with
money" said this republican in conclusion.
I'VE are going to elect the state ticket and
re-elect McComas to the Senate. Surely no
other party leader of any party within my
recollection has had such an emphatic in
dOrsement after real primary fight Mr..
McComas leadership, which was challenged
by Mr.. Mudd and his allies. has ended in a
crushing and humiliating defeat for Mudd
and sweeping Endorsement of McComaa.
who has practically a unanimous vote OF
confidence in the state convention. Mr..
Mudd Is already In line for the party. and
will his associates be, and l am sure
that In this fight the republican party will
be united. compact and aggressive"
