FIGHTING FOR SENATORSHIP
Maryland Democrats in New Align.
ment Since Legislature Adjourned.
Independents Are Uniting Against
Gov. crothers, Who Ignores
Former Gov. Brown.

Special to The Washington Herald
Baltimore. April IA new Hne-up in
the Democratic party IS indicated as 8
result OF the recent legislatures work.
and the political battles IN prospect, and
the Wiseacres are seheming it out IS
follows:
On the one side:
Senator John Walter Smith
Cos. Crothsrs.
John J. Mahon.
Arthur p. Goraau.
On the other side:
Senator Rayner.
Ex-Cioy. Warfeld
Ex-GoT. Frank Brown.
The independents.
IN the last election Gov. Crothers had
the support Of a united party. His action
in connection with the primary election
and senatorial primary laws. however,
has had the effect Of alternating many
of those who were with him IN that
campaign.
The governors action in ignoring ex-
Gov. Brown after the prominent part
which that gentleman took In the cam
paign. 1t may be assumed, has not made
Mr.. Brown more friendly 70 the dominant
faction in the party Senator Rayner IS
bound 10 be antagonistle 10 that factioa
because Il proposes TO send Mr.. German
TO the Senate TO succeed Mr.. Rayner,
and the latter intends TO succeed himself
il he can.
The independents are thoroughly angry
with the controlling spirits OF the party
organization because Of the ruthless way
in which the party pledges were dsre-
garded by the legislature, particularly
in connection with the primary election
and the oyster laws. IN Baltimore City
this feeling IS enhanced because OF the
discrimination shown against the city.

RIDDER APPEALS TO HOUSE
Wants Action on Free Wood Pulp
Measure.
New Yorker Asks Representatives 10
Take stevens Bin from Payne's
Committee-smith Replies.

Members OF the House yesterday re-
ceived copies of a letter from Herman
Ridder. president Of the American News
paper Publishers Association, requesting
them to join in a movement to take the
Stevens BIZ out OF the hands Of Mr.. Serene
Payne's Ways and Means Committee and
bring II 70 a vote
Representative Smith, OF California.
made the following reply:
The matter of giving newspaper pub
fishers free trade on a commodity which
they bay has been brought to my atten-
ton number Of times during the past
year by the editors in my district.
Il am now and for mere than twenty
years have been the publisher Of daily
and weekly newspaper, and buy paper
in carload lots. During the last year,
paper has advanced on me 60 cents per
100 pounds, although, OF course, the tariff
has not been changed for more than q
decade. Logs come In free and the duty
on pulp is about or 10 cents per 100
pounds
Two propositions confront me and
have so far prevented my Joining The
free trade ranks on this question: Fist,
how can IL be claimed that the duty on
paper IS the controlling factor in the rise
in the price Of paper? Second, as a Re-
publican editor, how ON defend myself
against the demands OF the Democratic
farmers and mechanics. If ! place ny
commodity on the free list. but DO not
placs theirs tEere2
If the tariff regulates the price Of
paper, it must also have a bearing on the
price OF clothing. tools, and implements.
and other articles purchased by my con-
stituents How can ], either as an editor
or public servant. justify my course, If
take relief for myself and refuse il TO
them? There are probably forty news
paper publishers in my district and 10000
voters engaged in ether occupations.
AS 1 stated before. I am q RepubTi-
can and believe In the doctrine OF pro-
lection, though I might admit that It re-
suits In a somewhat higher range OF
prices In this country than If We went
TO free trade; but I feel bound TO take
my own medicine in this matter.
IF I did otherwise, some one might
the cry Of the Tabbie and say.
He saved himself: others he would not
save.
1T is asserted that If we took the tariff
off paper and pulp. Canada would at once
impose an export duty 10 protect her for
ests. I do not know the facts, but would
like to have your opinion on that subject
Il am free to say that, viewed as a for
estry question. this subject is entitled TO
serious and nonpartisan consideration. But
I do not understand that the interests Of
the newspaper fraternity in this subject
of tariff remission is born Of that con-
