Probable Senatorial Contest.

If the published reports are authentic
the Cecil democrats are threatened with
an attack of" contest" which has here.
tofore been peculiarly republican. 1t is
not case of votes this time-there is no
room for doubt on that score-but one Of
residence, that has placed the seat of
senator elect DR.. Joseph 1. France, in
jeopardy, on the ground that he is not
eligible to membership in the General
Assembly, as he has not been bona fide
resident of Cecil county for one year
prior to his election.
The democrats claim that Dr. France is
not entitled to represent Cecil county in
the Senate, as he has beer a resident of
Baltimore city for the past four years.
with the exception of short periods
during the summer months, and is a
practicing physician there. This is the
point upon which the contest hinges.
AS the democrats have an overwhelm-
ing majority in the Senate and as the
Senate is the sole judge of the qualifca-
tions of its own members it would seem
that such contest would have an excel
lent chance of being successful if the
charge of ineligibility is sustained.
The State Constitution provides that a
Senator, to be eligible, shall reside in the
county from which he shall be elected
one year Immediately preceding his cleo,
ton. This section, it is asserted, DR..
France has not complied with, and be-
cause of his failure to do so he is not
entitled to take his seat.
The Baltimore Sun says, in the event
of contest 1T is certain that Mr..
Crothers would have the backing and
support of the democratic State leaders
who regard his defeat in the nature of a
calamity and claim there is no man in the
Senate now capable of filling his place.
Had he been elected Mr.. Crothers would
undoubtedly have been the leader of the
Democrats in the Senate and would have
greatly strengthened their representation.
Without Crothers the Democrats are
practically without leader. and it is
difficult to figure out who could be select
ed for this position. While Crothers has
always been an organization man and
close to Senator German and the party
managers, he is also political and per-
sonal friend of ex-Gov. John Walter
Smith and stood solidly with him during
his fight for the United States Seuatorshlp
two years ago in Annapolis.

recommendations on Congress than that
body, notorious for its waste of time, can

Railroad rate legislation is the leading
subject of the message, which Is crowded

between capital and labor, federal super
vision of insurance companies, the tariff,
currency, Panama canal. and host OF
other important questions which are Of
the deepest interest and concern to the
nation, not forgetting the expansion of
our navy. subject dear to the heart of
our strenuous Chief Executive.
A few of the salient Recommendations
are that the national government assert
its sovereignty over private corporations
by the regulation of industrial activities;
that government commission be given
the power to decide whether a railroad
rate is just, to prescribe maximum and
minimum rate, any kind of commission
or rebate to be prohibited, the accounts
of railroads to he subject to examination
as are the accounts of national banks, and
the hours of labor of railroad employees
limited; that Insurance be under the
supervision and regulation of the federal
government; that the publication of cam-
paign contributions by corporations for
political purposes be prohibited by law;
that Indian Territory and Oklahoma be
jointly admitted as one State and Arizona
and new Mexico as another; that Alaska
be granted a regular delegate in Congress;
that sufficient money be at once appro-
priated to continue the work on the
Panama canal
The message should be read BY every
