EXPECTS A BIG MAJORITY
RAYNER SAYS THAT DEMOCRATS
WILL SWEEP BALTIMORE.
Counts Upon the Reported Division in
the Ranks of the Repub-
leans

Senator Rayner was in the city today and
expects to be here for a week. He will run
over to New York to attend the annual din
ner of the Jefferson Club, and some time
next week will return to Baltimore to take
part in the mayoralty campaign.
I'm the mayoralty contest" he said,
speaking of the Baltimore campaign, the
democrats will sweep the city with an I'M
precedented majority. We would win by
large majority if the republican party was
united, but it Is sorely divided, and, there
fore, our majority will be double what would
be the case if normal conditions should
prevail
Senator Rayner is expected to deliver the
principal address at the Jefferson Club uIn-
ner at the Waldorf Astoria Saturday even
ing This is the dinner which is supposed
to voice the sentiments of those who are
| not entirely in accord with the policy and
utterances of Mr.. Bryan. The Bryan din
ner will take place the following week, as
will that of Mr.. Hearst and his followers.
1t Is expected that Senator Rayner will
give his views as to what the democratic
| policy ought to be and as to the proper
platform to be adopted by that party for
the next national campaign. 1t is expected
that he will announce some principles diff
ferent from those advocated by either Mr..
Roosevelt or Mr.. Bryan, which, in his judg-
| ment, ought to become part and parcel of
the policy of the democratic party.
Mr.. Rayner has declared to his friends
that he is not inimical to Mr.. Bryan, al
though it is well known that he Is OPP
posed to the government ownership of rail-
roads and has lately expressed himself as
being in favor of the nomination, If posi-
BILE, of southern candidate for President.
Senator Rayner has taken a leading
part among democrats who have been
in opposition to President Roosevelt and
has regularly opposed the policies of the
Presidents administration. His speeches
last winter were against the construction
of the Constitution as put forth by Sec
rotary Root and against what he de-
clared to be the executive usurpation Of
power
Quite a number of times during the ses-
sion he declared in conversation that If
Mr. Roosevelt should be nominated for the
presidency by the republicans and Mr..
Bryan by the democrats, it would be eX-
ceedingly difficult to frame the issue be-
tween the parties, as, according 10 his view,
Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr.. Bryan appeared to
represent about the same principles of gov
ernmental action.

Hot or Cold Water.

" 1t is a debatable question whether
1t is q wise practice to drink a cupful
of hot water Immediately upon rising
every morning. The hot.water fiends
fancy that they cannot live without
their morning drink, but there are re.
liable physicians who claim that this
practice is facilitating to the stomach
and that 1t cannot fall to do injury.
The habitual use Of cold water is an
excellent habit to form. 1t is natural
to drink cold water. Cold water IS a
tonic to the stomach, as It is to the
skin. II gives t0nicity to the mucous
walls Of the stomach. The practice of
taking five or six glasses of cold water
a day is a good one. 1t will help to
clear the complexion, brighten the
eyes. and is said to be almost a GER
tain remedy for pnffness under the
