RIVALRY Of DEMOCRATS
TO AID WILSON FUND
State Senator Lee Announces
$500 Contributed in
Maryland,

BALTIMORE, Md, October 14.-An in
teresting rivalry has developed among
county democrats in Maryland for the
leading place in the contributions to the
Wilson and Marshall campaign.
The first list of subscribers was an
nounced yesterday by State Senator Blair
Lee, treasurer of the auxiliary commit
tee. Without the amounts from Cecil,
Calvert. Talbot and Frederick counties 1t
shows total collections Of $3.50. The
contributions from those counties will be
announced later.
Baltimore Leads.
Baltimore city takes the lead with ST.
oS1. Montgomery county, the home Of
Senator Lee has subscribed $9l2.JO. Som
erset county, the home of former Repre-
sentative Joshua w. Miles, chairman Of
thu auxiliary committee. has contributed
$61S In proportion to the democratic
vote this is exceptionally large.
Baltimore county, the largest demo-
cratic county in the state, subscribed
$927. so, the largest amount for any
county.
Washington county is at the bottom Of
the list, with only 81. but the democratic
of that county say that they will rally
their forces next week and forge to the
front.
In addition to this sum Senator Lee
has collected $1,000 in the state for the
national campaign fund. This has been
forwarded to the national committee
Roll of Honor Proposed.
So keen is the interest that the party
managers are contemplating starting
real contest for places on roll of honor
to be arranged at the close of the CAM
paign. 1t is probable the city VIII oe
included.
Naturally, the larger democratic coun-
ties should lead in the amount OF con on
trihutions, but it is suggested that the
rn,i should be based upon the average
democratic vote Of each county. and the
table of contributions made in proper
ton to it. ...
their names be withheld until after the
election they are not given. although the
subscriptions are included in the totals.
The names will be published after the
campaign in accordance with the provi-

New Ships Have Masts.

Nevertheless, our government in its
two latest ships. the Utah and Arkansas,
has continued the erection of these
masts. which are not merely condemn
ed by foreign opinion, but have even
been shown to be impracticable by our
own tests.
To my mind the most interesting fea-
ture about this naval review in New
York is the enthusiasm manifested by
the people. Even jim the midst of a
wildly exciting base ball contest men
are talking about the ships, and a real
fleet of small boats finds large profit in
taking spectators out to view the fight
ing machines
But one more thing is worth the say
ing This navy of ours, these great gray
ships and these blue-clad men, who Will

people of the United States than some of
US know.

Deneen. replying to statements Saturday
by Col. Roosevelt regarding events in
the republican national convention,
gave out last night a statement, say
ing, in part
Gov Hadley introduced at the repub-
lican national convention motion to
take from the temporary roll the Taft
delegates and substitute Roosevelt dele
gates in certain contested states. These
numbered about seventy-eight delegates.
Col. Roosevelt. sent for me and asked
me to. Introduce. a resolution limiting

out Gov. Hadley's consent, because he
had presented the motion. l felt that

which had been participated in by Gov.
Hadley and others in behalf. Of Col.

acting either without knowledge or with

Amendment Written by Hadley.
II went to the convention and saw
Gov. Hadley and Gov Hadley himself
wrote the amendment to his motion,
which 1 introduced. He wrote it in the
presence of Senator Dixon of Montana,
Senator Borah of Idaho and myself.
THE motion of Gov. Hadley was to
strike from the temporary. roll the Taft
delegates and substitute Roosevelt dele
gates in their stead. Ny amendment
provided that no delegate whose right
to a seat in the convention, was aues-
toned by Gov. Hadley'S~ motion should
have right to vote on the selection or
a member for credentials or on it's re-
port.

Col. Roosevelt went out Of his way
to- seek to injure me by garbled quota
tons In an effort to. make it appear that
was an ally of Senator Lorimer. His
statement is without truth or justifica-
ton. In my testimony before the SEN
ate committee l said that Mr. Lorimer
in an interview with me had stated that
they had enough. votes to prevent Sena-
tor Hopkins reelection. and that they
proposed to elect Speaker Shurtleff. In
reply said: If you have power to elect
Speaker Shurtleff. why don't you elect
EOurself?' There was no offer to assist
him.

Likes Naval Service.

1T is all right for me, and l think
for most of the men on the ship. 1t
means u long service to get up to the
position of u warrant officer. but in
the meantime we are treated well, and
perhaps there may be something after
the position of warrant officer for us
We see something of tie world, although
not as much the Navy Department s
advertising would suggest. Sometimes
it gets little bit unpleasant to be at
anchor in famous FORT and have no
opportunity to go ashore. but all the
same we Ike it: like the life, and
there is hardly man in the navy who
would want to get out of it until the
time comes i'm his life when he necessa-
rIy ould quit.
The ships now in New York are as
different from those which awakened
50 much enthusiasm in the naval review
OF 1893 as are the sailors.
When the great dreadnought Arkansas
with its six turrets. and the Utah, her
sister ship. swung into the line of fight
ing craft, they let the American people
kEow that they had fighting navy.
Vt the present moment the Arkansas is
the most powerful ship afioat. She will
not he long. because both England and
Germany are building vessels TO eclipse
her. and perhaps none OF us can tell
whether in battle she will prove as
strong as her mere weight and depth or
arInor would indicate

One opportunity which l did not seek

standing under the forward bridge, on
which were two young quartermasters,
who We're scanning the waters of Hamp-
ton roads in order to discover whether
any admiral or other potentate of foreign
lands was passing in his launch. 1t
would have been most serious violation
of international courtesy if even three
miles away some such dignitary should
have passed and the marines on the
Charleston not have been drawn up on
the quarterback, presented arms and the
bugler have blown the ''ruff1es. 1t so
happened that i overheard the converse

masters.
Said one: Jim, are you going to ship
again." Not t. said Jim; Il don't see

when fighting ships were ships in fact in
stead of being floating forts. Longfel-
lows Village Blacksmith" with his
strong and sinewy hands, would be
quite as good a navy man today as any
who sailed with Farragut or with Porter.
That very fact helps to make the navy
more national than it was years ago:
AS ] have said, We can draw from Kan
them the possibilities of great service to
the navy. The period when it was neces-
sary to draw our naval recruits entirely
from the salt water towns mas passed,
and perhaps next to the abandonment OF
wood for steel, this change is the most
vital one in the development Of American

Tonnage of Vessels.
At this writing the feet gathered in
the Hudson river numbers l23 vessels,
of which 50 are battleships. The tom
mage of all these vessels exceeds 535, oOO
tons. That it is the greatest fleet ever
gathered under the American flag goes
practically without saying. Perhaps it is
the greatest gathered under any flag, for
even the English review at the time of
the Queens Jubilee hardly exceeded this,
although at that review foreign nations
were represented. This American review
of ours is purely that of the United
States Navy.
When one bears in mind that only
two ships which took any part In our
war with Spain are present. one can get
some idea of the brief life OF a man-of-
war. For such vessels as the Utah and
the Arkansas. We pay from $1OO0O.OO0 to
$12,OOO.O0O. Within ten years they be-
come obsolete
Today on all the fighting ships in
the North river you will find the skele-
ton masks. And yet. only a few weeks
ago, these masts. being subjected to
the test Of actual fire, proved to be abso-
lutte failures for the very service they
We're designed to accomplish.
1t was the theory of the designers of
these masts that because Of their
skeletoniZed structure they would not
suffer from the enemys fire, but it was
proved in the test made at Hampton
roads, that they went to pieces as rapidly
as would the old form Of masts. Foreign
nations have never adopted the skeleton
mast and I find in the bulletins Of the
English and French navies direct

NEW YORK. October 14.-When the
Columbian worlds fair was held i'm
Chicago in 1893 we rejOlced in what
we called Il naval review. There
were about eight ships in the United
States navy present at the time. All
have since gone to the junk heap. One
of the best was the cruiser Charleston,
afterward lost on a reef in the Pacific
ocean, but today she would not stand
for fifteen minutes before the fire of any
modern man-Of-War.
More than that, while the officers on
the Charleston were of the type that
has made the United States Navy great

Ships May Be Lighter.

y very good American sea fighter by
the name of Farragut strongly opposed
the ironclad ships There are many stu
dents of naval construction who believe
that it may yet become the new policy
of naval officers to make ships lighter.
rather than heavier, because the attack
from beneath by the submarine or the
mine can encounter only half an inch OF
iron, while the attack from above by the
aeroplane is absolutely without defense.
j find that this feeling is very general
among the officers of the magnificent fleet
now gathered here. If there IS one thing
that the responsible navy officer will not
agree TO il is to use his name in an inter-
view Nevertheless, it is the fact that
most of the officers of this fieet while
proud OF their ships. apprehend that
there is coming a new element In war
fare which may put the six-turreted
dreadnought Arkansas out of commission

Folly of Democrats.

When the bill appropriating the money
for the first dreadnought was introduced
into Congress John Sharp Williams of
Mississippi opposed it. and in the course
of his speech he suggested that instead of
calling the ship Il dreadnOught it should
be called "Skeered o Nothin''' Just how
much influence this speech of Mr. Will
liams had on the sentiment of his party
don't know. but. anyhow. the demo-
cratic party in the last Congress com
mitted the egregious folly of putting IL
self in position of antagonism to the
navy.
