BALTIMORE. No. August 81, 1912.
Harmony within the ranks Of tho demo-
cratic party has taken to the tall tim
bers. and not even the most optimistic
politician will undertake to forecast the
date when the white-wingsd dove OF
peace shall again take up its abode
among the leaders. There Is today q
wide split among the big fellows who
lead the two wings Of the party. The
''progressives' have apparently deter
mined to make q stand against the
regulars" being placed In charge Of the
Wilson campaign. and the regular or
ganization does not show any disposition
to slip the reins to the men who have
been fighting the organization for years.
The first tangible evidence that the
party was rent in twain came at the
meeting of the state central committee
this week. The big men Of the "or-
ganization" prior to the meeting had
reached an agreement to place Repre-
sentative ]. Harry Covington at the head
Of the auxiliary campaign committee, and
this was taken by the political wiseacres
to indicate that Senator John Walter
Smith was maneuvering to retain his old
position as state leader OF the party.
Against this selection the Lee progress
ives trotted out Carville d. Benson and
former Representative Joshua w. Miles as
that either would suit the ideas of the
progressives. Smith and the machine"
leaders insisted upon Covington and
vigorously opposed Benson, while the
progressives stood firm for Miles. FL
nally the progressives boldly served notice
on the machine leaders that they
would not stand for Organization" die
tation, and the fight was on.

in the interest of the Organization" and
that the original Wilson progressives
were to be placed in the minority thus
permitting Senator Smith to secure in
directly the influence which 1t was evi-
dent he could not obtain in an open
fight Close observers of political moves
claim that behind the opposition to the
progressives and the desire Of the ma
chine" to retain control was a fight
against Senator Lee by two elements OF
the city machine Adherents Of Mayor
Preston did not propose to give Lee any
prestige in anticipation of the guberna-
torial primary three years hence. and
the friends of Representative Linthicum
also intimated that he would be an en-
trant In that race and that his interests
must be protected.
It is conceded on all sides by those
who follow the game that the pro-
gressives scored q big victory when
they kept Covington out of the chair
the progressives thus opened a breach
within the party that will result In
the regulars sulking in their tents
during the heat of the campaign. and
it is freely predicted that the national
ticket will be knitted to the limit In
this city and in many OF the big demo-
cratic counties Of the state. The feel
ing engendered as q result Of the de-
feat Of Senator Smith to put across

Republicans to Meet Soon.
A meeting Of the republican state
central committee will be called with
in a short time to actively take up
paign. principally the naming Of new
electors to take the places OF Roose-
welt men on the republican ticket.
The state central committee has full
authority to name the substitutes. but
that duty may be left to the state con-
vention should 1t be decided to re-
convene that body.
Beginning next Monday. Chairman
Hanna will spend his time on duty at
the state headquarters in the Calvert
building and at the city headquarters
on East Baltimore street and will re-
ceive reports of conditions in the vari-
Gus counties OF the state. 1t was
today that the majority of
the men on the state central commit
tee who supported Roosevelt in the
primaries had made public their inten-
ton to abide by the result of the re-
publican national convention and to
support Taft. The remaining few who
have not done this will take their
stand or resign within q few days.
Evening star., 1912-09-01

According to Chairman Hanna the con-
ditions throughout the state are grow
In brighter every day, and hourly the
chances are increasing that Taft will
carry Maryland by a safe majority. 1t
was admitted by many democrats who
attended the committee meeting that
Taft would beat Roosevelt in every
county in the state with the exception
of one in western Maryland.
Bull Moose Not Happy.
The bull moose party is not in happy
mood these days. The leaders are not
working in harmony, and they are look
ing askance at each other. The follow
ers OF Col. Baldwin-straightout third
party men-suspect that the adherents of
Col Darlington are not sincere in their
support Of Roosevelt, and are playing
the third party game for personal advan-
tage. The situation became SO tense dur
ing the past week that Baldwin resigned
as treasurer and hied himself to New
York, where he had conference with
George w. Perkins. Although Baldwin
had stated that he got out because OF
his health. he came back from New York
and assumed charge Of the financial end
appears to be the big chief of the
third party. A story is going tho rounds
that prior to the resignation" Of Bald
win word came that the Darlington
crowd had endeavored to dicker with the
regular republicans. with q view to OBJ
tanning q position Of great influence in
the state party after the national cleo
ton. The story was to the effect that
there was q star chamber" interview at
a downtown hotel In which Darlington
is said to have informed Taft leader
that they would all get together" after
the election and that he would deliver
the Roosevelt vote to the regular party
in the future.
Instead of welcoming this information.
the Taft leader is said to have declined
to enter into any negotiations for the
future with the Roosevelt vote as the
basis OF trade, but had announced that
the bull moose crowd would not be recog-
nized as regulars by the republicans in
the future. On this interview being call
ed to his attention, Baldwin Is said to
have started q personal investigation, in
which, through a personal talk with this
same Taft leader, he WIS convinced that
the progressive party was to be used
for the furtherance of individual amb-
tions. and he thereupon decided to quit.
AS a result of these rumors the enthu-
siasm Of the bull moose men is dmin-
fishing, and there Is a feeling OF distrust
in both camps OF the new party.

Few nights ago was the first of conse-
Quence that had fallen for several
weeks. and IL came just In time to give
new life TO the millions of apples which
are dangling from the thousands Of
trees in all sections of this county and
In Berkeley and Jefferson counties OF

as the maturing or developing period
for apples. For some time they had
been at q standstill. and many orchard
msn began to fear that all their fruit
would be OF second or third class. but
the rain OF Thursday has had the ef-
feet of changing all that. The indica-
lions at this time are that Frederick

IL did last year. when more than 260,-
600 barrels were shipped.

the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, who

and West Virginia in the Winchester

produce more apples than the entire
apple crops Of the states of Washing

has been sold. nor is any sale OF con-
