pose Gov. Crothers should the latter de-
eide to enter the field as a candidate for
denomination next year. The man whom
Senator Smith has in mind to oppose
Crothers Is not known. There is some
gossip to the effect that State Senator
German may enter the race for the gov
ernorship, and in that event there is no
doubt that Senator Smith would openly
support him.
Senator Smith has the reputation of not
going back on his friends long as
they play the game in accordance with
his IDEAS and he is not apt to forget
that young German put Howard county
in the Smith column when he was a can
didate for the United States Senate
against Gov. Warfield.
The Crothers Side.
The other side of the case is that Gov.
Crothers did once say that he would
not be candidate again. but that was
some time ago, and he has since had
time to change his mind. Some of his
friends are Of the opinion that he does
not desire another term, and one of them
quoted the governor as saying recently
while discussing his administration: Il
am not much interested in my political
future. would rather leave behind me

good by the substantial citizens of Mary
land, than to be made governor a dozen
times over the sacrifice of my own self

that they want cents per hundred for
the return of empty bottles bearing the

say that II such an arrangement were
made there would no longer be any in

BALTIMORE. Md. September "a, 1910.
The shake-up in the Baltimore police
department which will follow the trial of
the police commissioner before Gov.
Crothers will mark the opening gun of
the coming battle between United States
Senator Smith and Gov. Crothers for the
control of democratic politics in Mary
land That the governor Is determined
to retire the present board and appoint a
new one is admitted on all sides. and
the enemies of the governor claim that
this move is simply for the purpose Of
securing a chief of police who will do
the bidding of the governor in the po-
litical campaigns to come
Inc political moves made by Crothers
during the past month in this city have
aroused the city organization leaders,
who have followed the shibboleth Of John
J: Mahon. upon whom the mantle of
Free Rasin as city boss has fallen.
These leaders assert that the governor
is endeavoring to secure control of the
police department in order that he may
place one of his followers in the position
now occupied by Mahon as city leader.
And In support of this claim thew point
to the fact that the men who are now
the right bowers of the governor have
never been prominently identified with
the regular city organization
Mahon Is Inactive.
A feature Of the situation which is
causing much uneasiness among the lead
ers is that Mahon does not seem to be
laying any lines to circumvent the plans
of Crothers in regard to this city These
leaders are becoming wrathy over the
inactivity of Mahon, and mutterinss
against the leader are becoming omi-
nous. AS one of the leaders put it to

played in the congressional primaries last
month, and at that Mahon allowed him
to get away with one candidate without

have played the game for number Of
years with both Rasin and Mahon. but
the brand of the game that Mahon is
playing now is a new one to me-
This Is but a sample of the expressions
heard all over the city from ward lead
ers. the majority of whom admit that
they are at sea as to Mahon's plans for
future control of democratic politics in
this city. Somehow or other Mahon
seems to have lost his grip on control of
the party machinery, and MANY open-
ly assert that his days of leadership,
whether Crothers takes the helm or NOT
are numbered.
