This is the string attached to Gov

candidacy for the Senate: "

primaries be agreed upon.

dates for the Senate agree among
themselves to adoIt the plurality

"Tlird-That the limit Of expendi.
lures in the primary campaign shall

tions in the general campaign shall
be made known to other candidates
for the Senate upon request.
"Fourth-That each candidate shall

Governor Wartfeld Is q .serfous.iniHd-
ell man, and undoubtedly wants to
make the race for the Senate. Other
wise these conditions might strike the
public as droll effort on his part 10
have a little fun with the subject.
Item one. What Is Democrat? Ey.
cry State in the Union is working on
the puzzle. The New York World has
opened It's columns to a symposium.
and many answers have been submit
ted; but nobody. anywhere is the Wis
er. Many men Of many minds. Many
Democrats Of many claims. II these
senatorial aspirants in Maryland can
solve the problem they will lay the
whole country under obligations. The
question piQues the national curiosity.
Item two. Governor Warfield has
already been turned down on the point
of making the primary genuine. The
machine wants the matter thrown into
the legislature, where 1t hopes to be
supreme. as in the past. Had the
State convention cared to do so It
might have easily have provided for
a primary taking the popular sense OF
the party as to the two senatorships.
But a twist was given to Governor
Warfeld's proposition. then submit.
ted, which changed its character COM
plctely. The machine wants pri.
mary only in name.
Item three. The figure as to ev.
penses, is small, but 1t should be SUI
ficlent. What is troublesome is the
proposition about exchanging lists OF
outside contributions, Imagine Mr..
Talbot communicating with John
Walter Smith and John Walter Smith
with Mr.. Talbot on that point. Here
the suggestion becomes strong that
there is n rich vein of humor in Gov
ernor Warlield's composition. Con-
sciously, or unconsciously, he is hav-
Ing fun with some people.
