different counties.
Former Attorney General William S.
BRYAN has addressed a letter to President
Wilson, in which he says the President
will make "a great mistake" if he takes
part in the Democratic Senatorial situa-
ton in Maryland. Mr.. BRYAN is one Of
several prominent Democrats who have
addressed letters to the President ON that
subject.
Mr.. BRYAN has made public his letter to
the President. 1t follows:
Dear Mr.. Presidents;
| do not know whether YOU will re-
member me. ! was at the University OF
Virginia with you during the session OF
IS79-8o, and was a fellowmember OF The
JeffersonLiterary Society
| was somewhat Younger than you, and
much less prominent in college affairs
and that is one of the things that makes
me doubt whether you will remember
me.
After leaving the university | studied
law in Baltimore. After being admitted
to the bar practiced my profession here
have been City Solicitor of Baltimore
and Attorney General of Maryland.
AT the last election ! was chosen as
one OF the Presidential electors from this
State and had the pleasure Of casting an
electoral vote for you,
have also been president of the Bald-
more City Bar Association.
Some of my friends who are quite in
fluential in public affairs in this State
have requested me 10 be a Democratic
candidate for the short term in the United
States Senate to succeed Senator Rayner.
have not vet determined whether or
not shall enter the contest against Hon.
Blair Lee. Personal and professional
considerations make me feel disinclined
to do SO,
While am on terms of warm personal
friendsl p with both Messrs. William L.
Marbury and William Cabell Bruce, | am
favorable TO the reelection to the Senate
of Ex Gov. John Walter Smith.
My reason for troubling YOU with this
letter is that it has been publicly stated
very often and very confidently that you
were favorable TO the election of Mr..
Marbury and opposed to the reelection
OF Governor Smith, and that you would
lend the weight of your influence to fur
ther Mr.. Marbury's candidacy.
think tha, it would be a great mis-
take for you to take any part in our local
Senatorial contest Doing SO, in our
judgment, would iniure both your own
political standing in this State and also
the chances Of Democratic success at our
next election for members of the Mary
land General Assembly.

Too Easy Bonding.

The e'ChiCago auto bandit who killed an
officer after one Of mis- numerous esca-
pades, had been arrested and had escap.
ed several times before. Once he was
released without bond on the word
merely, of a friend The friend proves
to be the leader of the gang of highway
men terrorizing the city, and is himself
arrested Such a proceeding seems in.
credible Here is Judge setting an al
legged criminal free on the word of man
quite as much OF a stranger to the court
as the prisoner. Why since he had
waived bond and taken this strangers s
word for it, did the Judge not simply take
the word of the prisoner and let it go at
that? What made him regard the word
Of one stranger any better than that OF an.
other. simply because the latter happen
ed to be charged with a crime?
This is shocking object lesson of the
looseness TOO frequently characterizing
this bonding of prisoners. The tendency
too often is to subordinate Justice to
mercy and degrade the law and the
peace and the dignity of the people of
the state"-the law-abidng people-to
the accommodation OF the man charged
with violating the law. Omaha Bee.

is fast approaching, and inactivity Of the
political parties is very noticeable. Some
candidates have declared their intentions
to entef the field for Mayor REGISTER
and Aldermen. The Democratic City

sending names to the Governor for APP
pointment as election supervisors and no
further business has been transacted.

conditions that require the attention of

will promptly consider the political situa-

MRS. GRACE AND OLDHAM
ASKED TO LEAVE HOTEL

PHILADELPHIA, June AIRS.
Daisy Opie Grace, who was acquitted
in Atlanta of attempting to kill her
husband, furnished the gossips two
spicy morseIs by announcing. first,
that she was not the wife of Charles
II. Oldham, and second, that they ex-
pected TO marry as soon as she gets
her divorce
Mrs. Grace made the announce
ments Immediately following re-
CENT of a request from David Mar
tin that she vacate her apartments in
the Swan Hotel, at Coatesville, of
which Martin is proprietor. Oldham
some time ago told acquaintances
that Mrs Grace had become his Wife,
and society matrons at CoatesVille,
believing that they were occupying
the same apartments, were shocked
beyond expression yesterday when
they heard the ceremony was still in
contemplation.
Mrs. Grace expressed amusement at
the whole affair. She said she and
Mr.. Oldham went to CoatesYille that
she might avoid publicity attendant
upon her divorce decree, which she
expects any day, but that they occu-
pied separate apartments. When the
divorce is granted she said, she and
Mr.. Oldham intend to marry.
This is just a prying woman's
work" said Mrs. Grace. Il am being
watched by detectives, I know, and
was foolish to take on so many
friends. Mr.. Oldham and are occu"
rying separate apartments. | thought
il was funny when he told some OF
his friends l was his wife. We will
be married as soon as l get my di-
vorce. which l am expecting any day
now"
Just because the unfounded scan
dal talk was hurting Mr.. Oldham's
business, Mrs. Grace said, they in
tended to leave and go in different di-
rections-she to the mountains and he
somewhere else. Then when her di-
vorce is granted they will be married,
surely, and the gossips will have
nothing to talk about.
