WHITE Is SENATOR.
New Scion from Maryland Is An
tagonistic to the Old German
Machine

BALTIMORE, Md, June Gov.
Warfield has appointed William Pink
ney Whyte, the noted lawyer and former
governor and United States Senator, to
bl the vacancy caused by the death of
United States Senator German. Mr..
Whyte is 81 years old. German, over
D quarter of century ago, knocked him
out of reelection as United States
senator and took his place. Whyte has
been mayor of Baltimore, governor and
attorney general of Maryland. He has
been antagonistic to the regular organi
sation for years.
The governor has opposed the organi-
station almost ever since his election.
He antagonized the negro DISTINGUISHING
amendment last year, and he refused to
appoint German men to office. In the
appointment of Mr.. Whyte, it is be-
lieved, he has had the counsel of United
States Senator Rayner, who is also an
enemy of the regular organization. With
the two United States senator's the gov
ernor and the attorney general against
them, the old German organization has
hard fight before it. The governors
move may lead to reorganization of the
party.
