SENATOR G()RMAN TALKS.
Gives His Views on the Com
ing Gubernatorial Cam
paign i'll Maryland Result
of the Primaries.

Senator German was asked by The
imcrican correspondent at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel New York, Thursday ::
What i'll your opinion will be the lead
ing issue of the presidential campain of
1904?
The leading issue" he said 'may be
determined by the events of the next I2
months. Issues will shape themselves
They will be indicated. perhaps, in the
debates during the next session of Con-
gress. While II is too early TO attempt
to name the issues in the order of their
Importance they will assume before the
public, some idea of their relative i'm
portance may be had from the discussion
in Congress within the next year"
Senator German was asked about the
forthcoming gubernatorial campaign in
Maryland. ''Our state, ''he said 'seems
welded to the idea of rotation in office
Governor Smith, have heard. does not
seek "a denomination. The only gentle
man who has declared himself is Mr..
Warfield. He is of family prominent
i'll Maryland affairs for more than a
century. has made great success in
business and seems generally liked No
one else has announced that he seeks
the nomination
About the recent primary in Baltimore
the Senator would say only that the
outworking of the new primary law
seems TO have wiped out any ground
for the accusation that the primary
elections do not faithfully record the
preference of voters in Baltimore. Dem.
ocrats, he said, who were loyal to the
party would accept the result gracefully
and support the candidate. Ii was init
mated that the Senator had been espec-
tally friendly to Mr. McLane. On this
point he said: II do not know Mr.. Nc.
Lane personally. although. of course, /
knew his uncle very intimately as well
as his father. 1t is known in Baltimore
that took no active part in the recent
primary contest
Senator Gorman's son, who was pres
ent. has not entered politics, ami the
Senator said that while he did not op
pose his sons taking up political Ca
reer. he did not know that A. p. .Jr.
desired especially to follow i'll his
father footsteps. The article by Bryan
on Cleveland was shown to the Senator,
who declined to make any comment
upon it, except to say that Mr.. Bryan,
being editor of IA newspaper. necessarily
felt it incumbent upon him to speak often
on the situation for the benefit of his
readers
The Senator jocularly gave it as his
opinion that the people of the country
were just now more interested in the
question as to how many bears Roose-
welt would kill OH his present trip than
in the discussion of presidential booms
He was informed that Judge Parker
was little worried by the buzzing of
the presidential bee. Indeed" said
he. Il met the Judge some years ago
in New York. and found him very
pleasant gentleman. but have not seen

Il prediction, but said he had heard that
many business men preferred that
Wachter should serve out his term in
Congress.
