SENATOR RAYNER
HAS PASSED AWAY

A Long Time.
A Long Time.

cratic members of the United States
So nate and a man whose name was
offered to the Baltimore Convention
by William ]. Bryan as suitable can
didate for the presidential nomina-
ton died here following a long illness,
resulting from continued attacks OF

Senator Rayner had been in a coma
tose state nearly week, with only
one or two slight rallies. His severe
illness covered a period of about SIX
weeks, dating from the efforts made

September. Physicians compelled him
10 retire from the campaign imme-
diately after that and he returned TO
his Washington home, where he died.
For over FIVE years Senator Rayner
had been a sufferer from neuritls'
His death creates vacancy IN the
Senate that probably will be filled by
a Republican through appointment OF
Governor Goldsborough OF Maryland
While the Legislature of that state is
Democratic it does not meet this win
ter and the Republican Governors ap-
pointment will hold through the open
ing session of the next Congress.
The control of the United States
Senate after March 4 may hinge upon
the death of Senator Rayner.
Senator Rayner was one OF the
striking figures of the Senate. de
had been a member of that body for
almost eight years and was one OF It's
strongest debaters and recognized
authority on constitutional law.
Before he entered the Senate he
had attained a National reputation
because of his vigorous conduct Oh the
late Admiral Schley's case before the
Naval Court of Inquiry that investi
gated the action of American ofticers
in the battle with Admiral Cervera
Spanish feet.
Senator Rayner was a native ol
