LEA GOOD LOSER
Senator viii Not Contest German s
Election-Aspirant for Democratic
Gubernatorial Nomination
Admits Defeat

1t was learned from an authoritative
source Saturday night in Baltimore
that Blair Lee will not contest the
nomination of Arthur P. German when
the Democratic State Convention
meets in that city on Thursday.
Mr.. Lee will, the eve of the conven-
ton. issue a statement in which he
win concede Mr.. Germans election in
the primaries and will make il plain
that he intends to support the ticket
from Governor down.
One supporter of Senator Lee ex-
planned that the Montgomery man is
good loser, and, above all else, a
Democrat. Senator Lee, this man
said. has never evinced any desire to
wash the dirty linen of the Demo-
cratic party in public, and there seems
to be no disposition on his part at the
present time to deviate from this
course.
For a second reason why Lee will
not contest, it was explained that
whether German is or is not elected
Governor his late opponent will re-
main one of the biggest men in the
Democratic party in Maryland. Sena-
tor Lee, his friends point out, has
perfected an organization of his own
which will prove lasting and which he
may depend upon for support in cam
paigns to come. The Montgomery
county man will be in Annapolis again
next winter in his seat in the State
Senate, and an aggressive course in
that body for ninety days will place
him in a position to remain constantly
before the people of the State And
the ultimate outcome of this, it is
stated, is that Lee will probably OPP
pose Senator John Walter Smith in
the United States senatorial primaries
two years hence.
Though Lee has continued to smile
since the primaries, the organization
men realize that the pleasant visage
does not mean that the Senator has
quit the fight. Senator Smiths pres
tige throughout the State has been
badly shattered and his power and
grip on his Eastern Shore counties has
been weakened. Lees state head
quarters in Baltimore are still open
and Manager H. H. Buck will be in
| that city until the convention on
Thursday. Senator Lee, however, re-
manned away from Baltimre Saturday.
Senator German also remained
away from Baltimore Saturday, and
he may possibly stay at his country
home until tomorrow, today being a
holiday. The Lee forces, it is report
| ed, will take no hand in the prosecu-
tion of the alleged fraud voters or
money handlers in Dorchester county.
If any precaution follows, it will be al
the hands of the Dorchester officials
and not at the instance of Senator
Lee.

PERFECT HEROlSM.
Rane Courage of DR.. Franz Mueller In
His Tragic Death.

His Tragic Death.
Heroism has been defined as 1.-THE

of suffering, of sickness, of isolation
and of death. An instance Of this
dazzling and glorious concentration of
courage is given in Mr.. Frederick Row
