BALTIMORE, Nd. august 20. 1908
Chairman Murray vandiver OF the demo-
cratic state central committee viii open UP
shop for business next week at the Eutaw
House. The most important work before
the committee will in all probability be the
selection Of two candidates for Congress In
the fifth and sixth districts. These two
nominations. 1t is conceded even by the
most sanguine democrats. unless the
unexpected happens-and that a far cry
will: be empty honors. Democrats with
prestige and able to support the sinews of
war in these two districts have taken to
the cyclone cellars. fearful that the con-
gressional lightning directed by the man
ayers may strike them. = But the party
managers realize that it will never do to
allow the election to go by default. and
hence victims must be found. The demo-
cratic committee will, however, put UP stff
fights in the first, second third and fourth
districts, but just where the money II COM
ing from Is a matter that is perplexing the
organization. and the only solution of the
problem Is that the candidates In the first
four districts will have to foot the bills.
Al the cost Of campaign In each Of these
districts amounts to about $10.O0 It will
be seen that the democratic nominations
are expensive honors.
Gov. Warfield has announced his willing
ness to take the stump In behalf Of the
candidates in the first and fourth districts.
and 1t is likely that Senator Whyte and
Senator Rayner will also take an active
part in the campaign. The fight in the
first district will be one of the most lively

other battle royal. Representative Talbot

the baltimore and Ohio railroad. Mr.. Tall

county, and has succeeded in having him

vious occasions. He has strong grin on
