POLITICIANS
MEET IN BALTIC.
Democratic State Central Com
mlttee Getting Ready For
Coming Campaign.

Several hundred prominent Democrats
from all sections Of the State attended
the meeting of the Democratic State
Central Committee in Baltimore last
Wednesday. Senator Smith, Governor
Crothers, Senator German, Blair Lee.
Joshua w. Miles, and other party lead
ers were in evidence. The new primary
election law was discussed and the
booms of candidates for Governor were
let loose. The leading candidates seem
to be Senator German and Senator Blair
Lee.
AS between German and Lee. it is con-
coded that the situation is in the hands of
United States Senator John Walter
Smith. His influence can nominate either
the one or the other. Ii ne keeps hands
Off. German, it is claimed, can defeat Lee
in the primaries, as Smiths friends in
the counties are naturally inclined to-
ward him and against Lee. But as Cor
mans supporters confidently predict,
should Smith take the German side of
the fight. the nomination of the Howard
county Senator would be practically
assured.
There is always, however. the posi-
bility that Smith may get behind a third
man, and a number of his friends have
urged him to espouse the cause of some
strong Democrat who will not arouse
the antagonism OF either of the two men
now regarded as the leading candidates.
They believe that in this course lies the
best and broadcast politics for Mr.. Smith
to play and that the interests of the
party can best be served by such a
compromise.

a most beautiful spot. So much has
been done to improve living conditions

Mr.. Rockefeller and Others that it is
most refreshing to find someone like
yourself who is interested in improving

best remedy know Of to bring the best
results out Of the present movement

Knowing as | do the wonderful merits

think that in time it will attract many
who are now only half living in our great
cities and towns. and few things will
contribute more to this than the estab-
lishment of your road.
In view of the abovSG beg to thus
tender to you personally my warmest
appreciation of your gift. 1t is worth
while in every sense and will be most
worthy and lasting monument to the
memory of yourself and your family.
