PLAN FOR PRIMARIES.
Committees of Both Parties to
Assemble Soon.


Assemble Soon.
State Central Committees for both
Democratic and Republican parties will
meet in June. Democratic Chairman
Vandiver said Saturday that the COM
mitteemen of his party would be called
together early in the month, probably
during the first week. Republican Chair
man Hanna thinks that the Republicans
will assemble about the middle of the
month, although the question has not
been discussed with view to reaching
decision.
One Of the important subjects that
will occupy the attention of the party
men will be the new primary election
law passed at the last session Of the
Legislature. Its provisions demand
official Interpretation, as portions OF it
are regarded as confusing. Both COM
mittees will probably authorize the re-
spective chairman to agree on date for
the primaries. and also for the conven-
ton that must follow them for the selec-
tion of candidates for Governor, Attor-
ney General and State Comptroller.
As the law stands, the primaries will
be held on the first Monday in Septem-
ber, unless the parties agree on an earlier
date. The Democrats have given no in
dication of their wishes on this score,
but the Republicans would, Mr.. Hanna
thinks, prefer date about the middle
of August, so that the nominations can
be disposed of by September l and the
campaign begun. County people, as
rule, are friendly to early primaries,
while the city people are not adverse to
postponing them until a late date.
If the county sentiment in both parties
manifests itself, the primaries will prob
ably be held as Mr.. Hanna suggests,
along in August, not later than the mid
die of it.
The Republican situation, as far as the
mead of the ticket is concerned, is pretty
we'll clarified. Either John B. Hanna or
Phillips Lee Goldsborough will receive
he nomination for Governor, and the
hances are in Mr.. Goldsborough's favor.
Neither will, however, fight for the NOM
nation, but each will abide by what may
seem to be the preponderance of senti-
ment. The Republicans do not intend
to have primary fight if they can avoid
one, believing that such contests have a
tendency to discourage their forces.
Democrats, on the other hand, can see
nothing but trouble ahead. Baltimore
city politicians are solidly behind A. P.
German Jr., Federal Senator Smith still
sticks to Col. Buchanan Schley, and a
large element of Democrats want neith-
er. believing that third candidate can
be found who will unite the party. More
over, if either Col. Schley or Mr., Cor
man goes into the fight State Senator
Lee will, it is believed, declare his can
didacy and begin to make things hum.
Democrats are looking about for man
who can adjust their troubles and unite
their forces. Frederick Daily NeWs.

EDUCATIONAL PACE HIGH.

Is the unendowed college doomed to
go?
DIR. Louis " Hamman, superintendent
of the Phipps Dispensary of the Johns
Hopkins Hospital and one of the fore
most authorities on tuberculosis in the
United State believes that the life of
the modern college without money will
be very short. Furthermore, he advise
careful thought on the part of the heads
of such institutions before determining
to remain in their present field.
This is day of science" said DR..
Hamman at recent banquet of the
alumni of Rock Hill College, of which he
is graduate, land the consequence is
that the colleges must prepare Their
students for higher work in the universit-
les SO that there will be no question
about the rudimentary knowledge i'm
parted.
"The entrance requirements of large
and great universities are becoming
more difficult every year, with the result
that the college without an endowment
finds itself unable to furnish the labor
atories required for through teaching
of the fundamentals of scientific subjects.
No college depending upon tuition fees
alone can expect to maintain its position
in the world of education. The cost of
equipment is too high for them.
DIR. Hamman declared many degrees
given by certain American colleges and
universities are without value and are
the laughing stock of European educators.
In this connection he advised that
unendowed colleges either make an effort
to get endowments or convert themselves
into preparatory schools of high standing,
for which there is prime need.
