ooAAAo " 10 q CAO50 Ouo lner0 Is no QueS-
ton that had the city republicans been
working In harmony and presented a solid
front at the polls Timanus would have been
elected to the mayoralty. The total re-
publican affiliated vote is 1924, and IT.
| manus polled 1885, It is safe to assume
that 10000 Wachterites cut the ticket, and
this demonstrates that Timanus polled
three-fourths of the Independent vote, else
Mahool's majority would have been greater.
The fact seems to have been lost sight of
that Mahool fell short 1859 of the affiliated
democratic vote. He polled 1924, while
the registered party vote is 81. 293. It will
De readily seen, therefore. that the demo-
Gratis have little cause to feel satisfied over
the result. Mahool certainly polled 5000 of
the independents; therefore he must have
run short 1900 of the democratic regis
tered vote. The total registered vote of the
city Is 115, 463, and the total vote poIled for
mayor was 93,345. 1t is therefore safe to
assume that 1900 democrats and 10000
republicans remained away from the polls
and did not exercise the right of suffrage.
When former Gov. Brown, who managed
MahooPs campaign, claimed that his can
dldate would be elected by 1900 majority
ne was figuring on the basis that Mahool
would poll the full democratic vote,
Democrats Are Worried.
The democratic leaders are, therefore. in
worried frame Of mind. They will admit.
but not for publication, that Timanus would
have won had his party loyalty supported
him. And 1t is this fact which has rem
dered them less sanguine over success in
the fall. They know that to win in Novem-
Der the party must nominate the best man.
and they likewise know that the best man
In the party today is Gov. Warfield The

nomination. II the honor is offered he will

ton is bitterly opposed to Warfieid, and
the attitude OF the governor at the present
time has put 1t squarely up to the demo-
cratic organization. The leaders must
either renominate or turn him down. In the
latter event the party would become d.
vided and the success of the democratic
state ticket next fall would become mighty
uncertain. Gov. Warfield commands the
support of the independents, and this ele-
ment In the event that Warfield is passed
up will vote for the republican nominee

Talbot for Senate.
Sunday Star several months ago, Repre-
sentative J. Fred C. Talbot of the secoad
district is a candidate for the United States
Senate. He made formal announcement to
this effect during the week, and as he is
the most adroit democratic politician in the
state ne Is likely to make 1t mighty inter-
esting for the other candidates in the event
that democratic legislature is chosen.
Talbot was for years the most trusted lieu
tenant Of Senator German and has great
Following among the organization leaders
throughout the state. He has welded
legislative sessions than any other man in
Maryland. Talbot, 1t Is said, would be
willing to give Warfield a denomination as
he knows the governor would make the
strongest candidate, and then take his own
chances with the legislature in the event
Of democratic success. Talbot unlike
many politicians, is in the game for honors
1t is doubtful If he has ever made a cent
out of politics. To his henchmen have be-
longed the spoils. pecuniarily and other
wise, In Baltimore county, where slot ma
chimes and other gambling devices and
games flourish like green bay tree
Representative Talbot is an impossible
thing. however, because the governor will
make no deal looking to denomination.
Fight for Judgeship.
There is to be fight within the demo-
cratic party for the nominations for the su-
preme bench of Baltimore city. Two judges
are to be elected and already there are
three candidates In the field. It is curious
to note. too, that the three men come from
the camp of the independent and Warfield
democrats. They are James P. Gorter, who
was city collector under Mayor Hayes ad-
ministration, and who will, nevertheless,
have the organization support: Justice
Charles w. Heuisler of the Juvenile court
onA Ind rod
of the supreme bench, and who was ap-
pointed by Gov. Warfield to Hill vacancy
caused by the death Of Judge Baer. 1t hap
pens that Justice Heuisler is also an APP
pointee of Gov. Warfield. There are indi-
cations that other democratic lawyers will
enter the lists for the nominations.
For some years past the republicans have
contented themselves with indorsing demo-
cratic nominees for the supreme bench. It
has been decided, however. that this year
the republicans will place judicial candi-
dates in the field. The party leaders have
grown weary Of indorsing the candidates
of the democrats, who never think of in
dorsing a republican nominee. 1t seems
likely that the republican nominees will be
chosen from among several leaders at the
bar-Vice Mayor George r. Gather. Rob-
ert H. Smith and former State Senator
Lewis Putzel.
Blow From Mahool.
Mayor-elect Mahool has cast gloom over
the camp Of the unterrified and hungry de-
mocracy. He has announced that no ap-
pointments viii be made until next Octo-
Der. and as a consequence the democrats
see long, hot dry and thirsty summer
ahead. Candidate Mahool had led the work.
ers to believe that Mayor Mahool would be
the real thing In the way of taking care Of
those who worked for his election. And his
announcement even before he takes ONCE
that no jobs will be given out until the fall
has caused much dissatisfaction among the
ward leaders and their henchmen. The or
eanization crowd has been on the outside
Of the city plum garden for eight years,
and naturally are very, very hungry for
Office. Already predictions are being freely
made that Maheol as mayor will forget
those who worked for his election and will
maintain the Independent attitude he as
sumed as city councilman. In justice to
the mayor-elect 1t must be said that he
faces a serious proposition-that OF choos-
ing between the people and party bossism
whether he will be strong enough to with
stand the pressure that will be brought to
bear in regard to important appointments
remains to be seen. He Is entitled to SYM
pathy rather than congratulations on his
elevation to the mayoralty. j. M. D.
