Free" Rasin. the ~thirty-year boss of
Baltimore city. is being denounced for his
:reachery to Senator German and ex-Goy-
ernor Smith.
To-day it developed that, even at the
caucus Wednesday night at Annapolis, RAJ
sin assured him that he would turn the
votes of eight members of the city dele
CATION to him. Rasin had made the prom
fse to German and Smiths friends at the

member referred to were ready and will
ing to stand by. the organization when Ra-
sin gave the order.
John ]. Mahan and other strong SUD-
porters of Rayner to-day frankly admit
ted that Rasin did the trick. For these
reasons. while no one blames Rayner for
letting Rasin do the work for him. the
sympathy for German is widespread.
A remarkable change of sentiment has
taken place within twenty-four hours.
Even Rayner's stanchest supporters now
declare that Germans prestige has not
been damaged. that Senator-eiect Rayner
wants harmony in the party and will ex-
tend the olive branch. and tina. they and
Rayner will assist German in every pos
sible way in his fight for the presidential
nomination.
These Rayner men also hold that, since
Rayner has achieved his ambition. he will
be willing to forego whatever future claim
to u leadership he might be able to
obtain, and will content himself with
serving his State in the Senate, leaving it
to the o!d-time leaders to direct the party
affairs as heretofore.
