team laying down to Detroit. Cantil-
Ion said:
Il have absolutely nothing to fear.
We did play poorly against Detroit
compared to our work in Cleveland,
but never said that I thought the
players laid down, though I had some
words with the players because OF
their poor work. 1t will please me to

ances are concerned, and line up on the
quiet. behind the strongest man who may
enter the field.
Warfield a Factor.
In the fourth district former Gov
Warfield has a large following and his
support of a candidate will amount to q
great deal. Gill has always been reck-
oned stanch supporter of Warf1eld and
for this reason would invite the organ
ago Gill was given the nomination by
the organization, but that was for pur-
pose. Gill at that time was q member of
the state senate and the Warfeld leader
on the floor. The machine wanted to get
rid of Gill and held out the congress
him to resign from the state senate. Gill
fell into the trap which had been laid
by the then city boss. L. Freeman Rasin.
and Warfield lost his most trusted lieu
tenant in the legislature. AS Warf1eld's
term has expired and as Gill was picked
up as a candidate of necessity rather
than one of. choice, it is reasonable to
presume that the organization is more
than anxious to retire him to private life.
Hence the developments in the fourth
district this fall will be most interesting,
and the nomination is within the grasp
of any ma:a who can command the inde-
pendents and the organization.
A Third Candidate.
Within the course of the next month
there will be in the fell for the con-
gressional nomination in the fourth dis
trict third candidate. For months past
this man has quietly been perfecttng an
organization OF his own, and will enter
the fight foot free Of any alliances with
either the organization or the Independent
element. He will be willing to accept the
support Of the organization leaders, to
whom he should prove as acceptable az to
the independents. At the outset he will
have behind him an element of strength
that will surprise the leaders. and good,
sound political judgment should prompt
the organization forces. to support this
candidate. The Star correspondent is not
at liberty to divulge the candidates name,
but It can be asserted that there is no
man in Baltimore today with a larger
large number OF republicans who would
vote for him for personal reasons. 1t
Is safe to say that II this dark horse
wins out in the primaries he will sweep
the fourth district with the heaviest ma
jority in its history.
Political Meetings.
For the first time in a number Of years
the two dominant parties in Maryland
will held important meetings on the same
day. The republican state convention
will be held next Thursday and. as ma
iority of the counties and the city legis-
lative districts are favorable to Taft
resolutions, it Is expected that the meet
ing will be harmonious. The convention
will name four delegates at large and
four alternates to the national convention
and choose two presidential electors at
large.
The democratic state central commit
tee will meet to arrange for the state
convention. Ordinarily this meeting
would attract only passing attention. but
in view of the demands to be made by
the Bryan wing for recognition, it be-
come2 an important gathering and the
anti-Bryan men are somewhat appre-
hensive that they may be compelled to
show their hands.

LOCAL REPUBLICAN CONTEST

PRIMARIES INCREASING.
B. L. Gaskins Lone Candidate From
the Burt-Patterson Combine.
Flather-Horner Campaign.

AS the time for the republican pri-
maries in the District approaches many
conferences and meetings Of the local
politicians are being held to arrange for
the battle of the ballots. The election Is
scheduled for next Tuesday and already
the polling places are being prepared for
the voting contest.
In view of the withdrawal from the
race of the Burt-Patterson ticket It IL
predicted the vote to be cast will not be
as heavy as it would have been had that
ticket remained in the running.
A number Of the former supporters OF
the Burt-Patterson ticket have declared
their intention Of supporting Benjamin L.
Gaskins, named for alternate on the
Burt-Patterson slate. Mr.. Gaskins Is de-
scribed by his adherents as the lone can
didate."
At a meeting Of republicans Of the
fourth district last night at Odd Fellows
the following officers for the ensuing four
years were elected: President, James l.

After many speeches discussing the &C.
tions of the managers of the two tickets
resulting in the withdrawal Of Gen. A. g.
Burt and J. w. Patterson as candidates
for delegates resolutions were adopted In
dorsing Benjamin L. Gaskins for dele
gate.
Where Gaskins Stands.
B. L. Gaskins. who has taken the place
of the Burt-Patterson ticket in the con-
test for delegate to the republican ma
tional convention, has announced that
he will stand upon the platform put for
ward by that ticket at the beginning Of
the campaign. The platform il as fol-

Il cannot concur with the decision OF
the other candidates on the Burt-Patter-
son ticket, on which I was a candidate
for alternate. Gen. Burt 10 quoted to
have said that the election of the Burt
Patterson ticket was assured. It seems ia
me that harmony would have been more
easily secured by the withdrawal OF the
weaker ticket.
THE consensus Of opinion, as far as ]
have bee nable to ascertain, is that 1t was
not solely a desire for harmony that
caused the desertion OF my colleagues.
