Fred Luedtke, a machinist, attempted

Evidently the intruding tramp was

he has already declined He will take the most
active part in the campaign. and will give all

some OF the younger should do that.
Nearly all the Maryland leaders who attended
the st. Louis convention believe that the chair
manship has been practically settled. and that
Thomas Taggart. of Indiana. will be the man."
Senator German yesterday sent the following
letter TO the members OF the Maryland dele

In the last few days Mr.. Roosevelt has received
a number of letters from Democrats in various
parts of the country. who are big men in their
party and who pledge him their support When
the proper time comes these letters may be made
