SpeciaI CORRESPONDENCE Of The Star.

Special Correspondence OF The Star.
BALTIMORE. December is. 1900.
Austin Lane Crothers. Governor Of
Maryland. is in the spotlight just now
He has made it known that he proposes
to be the boss of the legislature tins
session. And he made it known IN no
unmistakable terms. His method was d.
rect and 10 the point. He announced
that he wanted Delegate David Peoples
of Cecil county to be speaker of the
house of delegates, and Delegate Peoples
will be the next speaker. for every other
candidate has withdrawn from the field
and the roadway for Peoples is cleared.
The announcement by Gov. Crothers
that he favored Peep'es came as a bomb
shell to the democratic leaders here and
throughout the state. Only two weeks
ago the governor stated that he would
not favor any candidate for the presi-
dency of the senate or the speakership of
the house. and that his only desire was
10 see men selected who would use every
effort to carry out the pledges in the
democratic platform. Just what caused
the governor to make such sudden
switch in his attitude is not known gen.
orally, and the politicians are wondering
whether he will execute another coup
and bowl over young Senator German
Plan to Boost German.
There is a story going the rounds that
Gov. Crothers did not take kindly to the
plans OF the state machine to place him
upon the circuit bench and turn over
the reins or the state government to
German ere his term had expired. Cor
man did not loom up as candidate for
presidency of the until tho
fact was mentioned that Judge Pearce of
tie eastern shore would retire at the
age limitation next year. Then followed
the formulating OF the plan to put Irotn-
the bench. The idea was to put
German In the presidents chair In the
that of lieutenant governor In other
states. On the retirement of Judge
I'earce, Gov. Crotiers was to tender his
resignation as chief executive of the state
governor. would then appoint Crothers
10 the circuit bench to fill the vacancy
caused by the retirement of Pearce.
Thisplan certainly looked good to the
States Senator Smith and State Senator
tforman--and the party who proposed
the idea was patted on the back by
young German. With the Howard coun-
~ boss in the gubernatorial chair. there
T-ere great possibilities for the firm of
STniL.,, German and company, limited The
machine at the present time Is strong only
in the money line. There many
would-be bosses of Maryland scattered
throughout the state. With German III
bosses could be whipped into line or else
supplanted by plant leaders in their re-
spective sections. Then, with German !
political brains and money and Smiths
money. new machine with power like
that OF the old Gorman-Rasin ring could
be built up.

land | am sorry that he did not see nj
to throw that influence to me. l am
sorry that the governor has taken a
hand in this matter, for l had the nght

but l do not think ii would be fair 10
them to carry them that far. In any
event l do not car TO make the ii mt
against the man whom the governor
wants.
Talbot has refused to discuss the action
of the governor, but his close friends are
very bitter in their denunciation of croth-
ers and assert that the easy boss of
Baltimore county will square accounts
end of the legislative session. Talbot
has for Years been the bos5 of the leg 5
lature, and does not relish the idea Or
neinr sidetracked. But sidetracked he IS.
Young German, as president OF the SEN
ate can be depended upon to swat any
legislation plans that Mr.. Talbot may
desire. In the house Talbott's Influence
will not amount to much with Crothers
man in the speakers chair.
ON the eve of the opening of the leg $
AZURE therefore, the signs are most pro-
pitious for political battle royal, with
smith German CrOtherS and Talbot as
the central figures.

shrewd enough to know that as governor

patronage at his disposal he comes pretty
close 10 being the real thing boss of
