when a woman worries her first thought
is to oonfide it to another woman: who
confides her worries in turn.

PACKERS TO FIGHT TALK EXTRA SESSION
Probability of One in Maryland
Thought to Be Increasing.
DEMOCRATS IN CONTROL
Party Leaders Inclined to Strip Gov.
Elect Goldsborough
of Power.

BALTIMORE. Md, November 15-The
melange of democratic ideas schemes and
plans which accumulated since the defeat
of Senator Arthur p. German for the gov
ernship assumed such shape yesterday as
to give those closely in touch with the Sit
uation some idea of the program which
may be made up to be put through an
extra session of the legislature. The prob
ability of Gov. Crothers issuing this call
is increasing daily.
AS is well understood by party leaders.
any program must meet the approval of
the governor or it would fail. AS a con-
sequence, the leaders have been waiting
for him to recover from the grip and
come to Baltimore before they determine
upon any plans which may keep from the
republicans control of work now being
done for the state by the democrats.
The governor will probably be at his
office soon. and it is believed that a con-
ference will be held the early part of next
week, when Senator John Walter Smith
returns from business trip to Norfolk.
At this conference it will be definitely de-
termined whether the extra session should
be called. because then the governor will
say what legislation he favors If a pro-
gram is agreed upon which meets his ap-
prevail it is thought the extra session will
be called before Christmas.

May Extend Wilson Law.

That the conference will favor the re
peal of the Wilson law is extremel,
doubtful, but advocates Of the plan o
cutting the tricks out Of the Wilson Law
and applying it to the whole state art
more hopeful Of success, and 1t Is gen
orally believed that it would meet tn.
approval of those with deciding voices
in the conference.
This plan involves framing law which
will prohibit the supervisors OF elections
in any county from practicing the tricks
which are unquestionably used In the
Wilson law counties. The switching
of blocks queer lines, fake" parties and
other questionable cOntrtvances used to
fool the negroes should De eliminated. ac-
cording to advocates of the plan. They
would have the ballot made as fair in Its
makeup and regulations as that in Bal

the provision that party designations be
eliminated.

Gates claim. the ballot in Maryland cleo
tons would be in itself a test Of the edu-

ing fairly made up, would be by that
same token a fair test. 1t is understood
that some of those who will attend the
conference will vigorously urge this law,
