WANTS CITY CAB SYSTEM
Cabin Tomkins Says Municipality
Should Hid Transit

A cheap and rapid cab service, developed by the
city to assist transportation systems in lower
Manhattan, is advocated by Calvin Tomkns, ex-
president Of the Municipal Art Society and presl-
dent OF the Reform Club. Mr.. Tomkns said yes
terday that with the completion of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad terminal at 33d street, the New
Jersey McAdoo terminals uptown and downtown
and the New York Central & Hudson River Rail
road and New York, New Haven & Hartford Rail
road improvements the transportation systems OF
lower Manhattan would be burdened with much
larger traffic than exists The East River
bridges and the Steinway tunnel would still fur
tler accentuate and complicate the situation.
Mr.. Tomkins accordingly urged that Il the city
should develop cheap and rapid cab service at
least one decisive step would have been taken to
meet this approaching exigency. There was a
fexibility about a cab service he said, which did
not exist with other systems Of transportation and
which would make it peculiarly available for the
purpose of distributing this local travel The
prompt introduction Of the taximeter motor cab,
IN Mr.. Tomkinss opinion, should now be under
taken and the lass of fare made reasonable
as experience might show to be possible.

Has Been Kicked Before.

The experience of being kicked by those
whom he served or benefited is not new to
the senator He has before felt the
sting of ingratitude. When he was gov
ernor of Maryland in 1901 Smith, at the
suggestion of the late Senator German
and other influential leaders, called an
extra session of the legislature for the
sole purpose of emasculating the election
law in order that a democratic legisla
ture might be a certainty at the session
of 1862 when German would he ii candi-
date for reelection to the United States
Senate. In return for this Gov. Smith
was promised the Senatorship in 1904
When the legislature assembled in that
wear Smith felt certain that the pledge
made him three years previous would be
carried out. He went to Annapolis and
found that he had to maxi d fight for
the senatorship. He was game. however
and rallied his friends about him. He
fought to the last ditch. bat went down
to defeat through the treachery OF those
whom he had served. When Rayner was
declared elected Smith went to his home
at Snow Hill and practically retired from
politics.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
BALTIMORE Md. March IS. 1908.
The long anticipated split between Gov.
Crothers and Senator Smith has CONF
at last and the opinion is just
entering upon a campaign having for its
purpose the securing of the control OF the
state machine.
For years past Crothers has been the un-
disputed boss of Cecil county and has
ruled with a rod of iron. 1t is said that
he does not take kindly to suggestions
from Senator Smith and the bosses Of
lesser note and that he has practically de-
cided to run things to suit himself. If Il
should prove true that the parting of the
ways has come for az time and that
Crothers has decided 20 throw off the
Smith yoke there are interesting times
ahead.
In such Il fight Crothers would have ev
erything 20 gain and nothing to lose.
whila conditions would be exactly re-
versad in the case of Smith. That
Crothers WAS nominated by Smith and his
campaign financed by the lator is an
open secret and the adherents of the
party boss assert that it is Crothers duty
to follow suggestions made by the man
who placed him in the governors chair.
In the appointments made by CrotherS
there is little 10 indicate that Smith
dominated the governor. In fact, in max
ing his selection of a secretary of state
the governor gave Senator Smith Il hard

Cause of Split.

The cause of the split between Gov
Crothers and Senator Smith was the
proposed primary election law. The
governor is in favor OF state office nomi-
nations by direct vote--that is. that cam
diddtes for governor controller. attorney
general and clerk of the court of appeals
should be named without a convention.
Senator Smith wanted the bill so framed
that the old-time convention plan shall
remain Both the governor and the sem
ator have strong fOllowings in the sen-
ate, and the battle was a hot one The
result of the contest was awaited wit
interest, as X was In the nature of test
of strength between Crothers and Smith.
and the senator won out by a vote of
10 to Z. In taking this action the demo-
Gratis have failed to live up To the plank
in the party platform which was forced
upon them by the then governor War
field Tie understanding al the time Of
the convention was that the vote in the
primaries was to be direct and the old
convention system abolished.

His Rise to Power.

For the three years following Senator
Smith was conspicuous for his absence
from all gatherings of the party leaders
and resolutely refused the olive branch
which was rendered on several occasions
He simply bded his time. taking for his
motto Time and will beat any pair"
When the death of German adj RaSin
came the rise to power of Smith. The
democratic party had lost its campaign
fund raisers in the death of these two
leaders and Smith had a bari. Natural
ly. when the time rolled around to nom
mate a gubernatorial candidate the 'old
guard became anxious a bout the money
that would be needed in the campaign 10
follow. Col. Smith. like Bre'r Rabbit, The
lay low until the psychological moment
in the convention. when he stepped into
the llmelight and nominated his men
for governor and controller He did not
go TO the "old guard" and ask to be LEI
i'll, but he stepped boldly into the arena
and took command.
The "olG guard was quick to realize
that Smith was in the saddle. and there
was scramble to get onto his band
wagon. The only man who did not climb
aboard was Represent ative Talbot. who
had always opposed that millionaire
from the eastern shore" During the cam
paisn that followed Smith was the boss
and he also paid the freight"

Effect of High License.

Some of the democratic politicians in
this city are much concerned over what
effect the high-license law will have upon
the party's future. There is no denying
the fact that the saloonkeepers are
sore" over the passage of the bill The
saloon element has for years contributed
literally 10 campaign funLs of the party
and kept the loafers and hangers-on
solidly in line for the machine. and today
they are openly denouncl-g the law as
"a raw deal"
The Anti-Saloon League element is also
displeased with the democratic leaders
because of the killing of the local option
bill The opponents of the saloon claim
that the measure was defeated at the
dictation of the city boss. and make some,
ugly charges against some members of
the general assembly. One charge is that
several members contributed to the Anti
Saloon League campaign fund and then
voted against the bill when it came be-
fore the house.
II will be seen, therefore. that the
democrats have not only aroused hostility
among the liquor men. but Lave. in adj
dition. incurred the enmty of the local
ont ion advocates
