that he will likely get into the short
term scramble. This aspirant is none
other than William Shepard Bryan,
former attorney general and noted
wit.
Bryan let the cat out of the bag dur
ing the week when he made public
letter he had sent to President Wilson.
In this letter Bryan explained to the
President that he might be candi-
date for the short term against Blair
Lee, and he also told Mr.. Wilson that
he thought 1t would be a great mis-
take" for the President to take any
part in our local senatorial contest"
and declared that he was in favor Of
the reelection OF Senator Smith. Bryan

would not believe that the President
intended to interfere" In Maryland

Talbot May Yet Enter.
There are also rumors current that
Representative Talbot has again re-
considered his determination not to

will enter for the short term and make
combination with Senator Smith. 1t
is said that Talbot would support
Smith and Preston, but as the indica-
tons now point TO Preston getting In

termined that Blair Lee shall be op-

say that the second district boss will

the action of the Montgomery man in
this case as an act of political treach-
cry for which Lee must be made to
suffer at the hands OF Talbott's friends
throughout the city and state.
The sphinxlike attitude of Preston
regarding his intentions is causing no
end OF trouble to the leaders Of the
regular democracy" They knoW the

Senator Smith is likewise up a tree be-

anxious to know just where the city or

fight. All the satisfaction he can obtain
is the stcreotyped I'VE can't move until

Claim Of French Army Officer.
Paris Says Tut"

Paris.-Commandant Darget Of the
French army is trying by further Sc
ries Of experiments to convince the
Academy Of Medicine Of the truth Of
his theory that the human body sends
out certain kind of X rays by means
OF which ideas in the mind can be pho
tographed.
His idea is that these mental images
can be yisualiZed and then transferred
to a sensitized Photographic plate by
merely pressing the plate against the
body. For his purpose he covers the
sensitized plate with printed matter,
and then presses it against the body.
In this way he is able, he asserts, to
develop in few minutes negative
or positive Photographic impression,
according as the person is electrically
negative or positive.
The sum total of Darget's theory Is
that the human body contains light
rays. TO this proposition the Acad-
envy says "rut, tut" or words to that
effect. Whatever appears on the SEN
sitized plate, the academy argues, is
simply the effect Of the printers ink.
Darget is going to Vienna and Ber-
I'm to reproduce his experiments in the
universities Of those cities.
Professor Schlift is one of those who
have asked to be shown what there is
sn Darget's y ray notions.
