FAMOUS MARYLAND ORATOR AND
DEMOCRATIC STATESMAN SUC-
CuMBS TO kEUR!TIS IN WASH
IkGTON-,,,A REPUBLICAN WILL
SUCCEED HIM.
CONTROL OF SENATE:
HELD IN BALANCE

Washington, D. c., Nov. -. &ena-
tor lsador Rayner, of Maryland, one
Of the leading democratic members Of
the United States senate and a man
whose name was offered to the Balti-
more convention by William j. BIy-
an. as a suitable candidate for the
presidential nomination, oied here
early today at the end Of a long ILL.,
ness resulting from continued attacks
of neuritis.
Senator Rayner had been in Il coma
tose state since last Wednesday with
only one or two slight rallies. His
severe illness covered a period OF
about six weeks, dating from the er-
forts made in the joint political de
bate with Bourke Cochran at Balti-
more, late in September, Physicians
compelled him to retire from the
campaign at once after that and he
returned to his Washington home,
where he died at G:2e o'clock this
morning. For over five years Senator
Rayner had been a sufferer from reu-
rits the attacks often making his
work arduous and painful.
CONTROL .OF SENATE.
The control of the United States
senate after March 4 may hinge on the
death OF Senator Rayncr. The repub-
lican, who it is expected Governor
Goidsboro will appoint in his place,
will hold office at least until the
Maryland legislature meets in Janu-
ary, 1914. Senator Rayner's death
removes one of the democrats on
whom the control of the senate de-
pends in the new congress. With his
vote the democratic leaders counted
on 40 votes or one more than a ma
iority of the total membership of SO.
In any event. 4S votes with the vote
of the vice president, in case of a tie,
was looked upon as sufficient strength
to seCttre ContrUh
While the democrats still have an
apparent strength of 4S, the death Of
the Maryland senator reduces the sup
posed majority to a point very near
the dividing line OF party control.
JACKSON MAY SUCCEED.
Baltimore, Md, Nov. 25.--Willam
p. Jackson, member of the republican
national committee, will be appointed
Senator Rayners successor, it is be-
lieved. although Governor Goldsbor-

the matter until after the funeral.
