POLITICS LOOMING UP.
Since the adjournment Of the Maryland
Legislature the politicians and the public
have turned attention to the next election,
at which six congressman will be chosen
to represent the State for the next two
years.
Chairman Murray Vandiver, Of the Demo-
cratic State Central Committee, and Chair
man John B. Hanna. of the Republican
State Central Committee, will within few
weeks issue calls for the meetings of their
respective committees to set the dates for
the primaries and for Congressional con-
ventions. Democrats are greatly encour-
aged over the prospects Of success next
fall. and there are some who believe that
Maryland will elect solid Democratic dele
CATION to the House Of Representatives
The fight will undoubtedly be made
against the Aldrich-Payne tariff bill and
the high cost Of living, and it is expected
that the Democratic arguments on these
questions will have telling effect upon
voters.
Candidates for Congress are sprineing
up in every section of the State The first
convention will BE held b. Republicans
next month, in the Filth district. and Mr.
Thomas Parrnn. forme, Chairman Of the

opposition. For the last twelve years this
district has been represented by Mr.. sgd
ney E. Mudd, but because of Door health
Mr.. Mudd will be unable to be candidate
this year. Democratic candidates for the
nomination are sprineing up all over the
district, and the fight among them will be
an interesting one.
Prince Georges county is in the lead
with candidates. Former Speaker Of the
House of Delegates j. Enos Rays friends
are booming him. Mr.. Robert W. Wells, a
former member Of the House, is also an
active candidate, and Mr.. Charles E. STAN
ley has announced that he would like to
have the nomination. Mr.. Edward M. Ham
mond, Of Howard county, who made bril-
liant record in the House of Delegates, is
a candidate and il is believed that he will
be supported by State Senator Arthur P.
German. who is the leader Of the county
Mr.. John F. 0Malley a close friend 10 q.
German, has also been mentioned.
The friends of DR.. Charles VIII.
OF St. Mary's county. are booming h 10 for
the nomination. and it is thought likely
that the Charles county deleeatio1 viii
support Mr.. W. Mitchell Dieees. the father
Of the celebrated Digges bills.
In Anne Arundel county Mr.. Edward
Owens is an avowed candidate, while the
friends Of State Senator Brady are boom
ing him.
In the First district the Democrats viii
renOminate Congressman J. Harry Coving-
ton. Every county in the district will be
behind him. Mr.. Covington has made
good record in the lower house. He has
been punctual in attendance and hes reu-
dered valuable service both to the distlct
and the State. He represents Maryland or
the Democratic Congressional Committee.
If he will accept, the Republicans silI
Illuminate National Committeeman Wilton
r jackson, son of former Consressmnn
william II. Jackson. The district Is over
whelminely Democratic, however and il is
not believed that Mr.. jackson will ,cef nj
the nomination. Since the last STATE cam.
paign Mr. jackson has frequently been
suggested as Republican candidate for Gov.
enor. He would prefer this nomination
and 1t is believed that he will wait for two
years before aspiring to public Office
In the Second district the Democrats viii
probably renominate Congressman Talbot
AS yet no opposition has developed aeainst
him. The names of several Remit lioars
have been suggested for the nomiI ATTIC.
the most prominent Of which is that Of M
William II. Lawrence. If he would !. Gem
It, 1t is believed that Mr.. Robert { ret,
could have the nomination again.
The Republicans of the Third d.tric,
will undoubtedly renominate Conere, man
John kronmiller. Mr.. Kronmiller Is ,rr of
the Regulars in the House and has ava
stood by Speaker Cannon. 1t is exps,ct,
that this will injure his chances of r,.eler
ton.
A number Of Democrats have bee sue.
Sested for the nomination, but from pre-
sent indications State Senator Cha es p
Coady will be selected Mr.. Coadys ENDS
say that his record in the Legislature osuld
aid the party immensely in this fight.
Congressman John Gill, Jr., of the Fourth
district, will be a candidate for renomina-
ton. but 1t is more than likely that he
will have opposition in his own party.
While he has not yet made any formal
announcement. II is believed that State
Senator }. Charles Linthicum will be a
candidate. The name of Mr.. George Stew
art Brown has also been mentioned. As
the district is normally Democratic by sew
eral thousand majority, the Republicans
have not yet selected their candidate.
In this (the SIXTH district, the present
Congressman, Col. George A. Pearre, is said
to be hot after denomination, notwith-
standing his very narrow escape from de-
feat at the last Congressional election. He
claims that he win have no trouble in Oct
ting the support Of Alleeany and Garrett
counties and is also said to be hopeful Of
the support Of Washington. but the latter
county and Frederick are believed to be un-
alterably opposed to the Colonel's renomina.
ton. II this be true, and there seems to
be no doubt of IL. Peane cannot be re-
nominated unless he can get the delegates
from this county. He is said to be hopeful
