is one shrewd. careful politician, and he
wisely declined to get into the fray. Tai
bott was for years the close confidant

His friends assert that he foresaw the

that he allied himself with the Crothers
wing of the democracy-the original
progressive democracy-early in the
game. They also recall that Talbot
fought the regular party organization in
the Gorman-Lee gubernatoral primary.
and that the result of that contest more
than convinced him that the end OF
political ring rule in Maryland was not
far away. There are others OF the old
German politicians who admit that the
methods of the old days are obsote in
this era, and they have gotten out OF the
game of politics, because they do not
understand how to play the game I'M

LEE MAY ASSUME
PARTY LEADERSHIP
MaryIanders Predict Position
If He Wins Sh0rt-Term
Senatorship.
Special Correspondence OF The Star.

BALTIMORE, Md, July 10. 1913.
The local democracy is up In the air
over the alleged "lay-down' of Senator
Smith in regard to a candidate to OPP
pose Blair Lee for the short term. The
sly dogs of the city machine assert that
Smith made a grievous error. They as
sert that he should have put a man in
the field against Lee, even though he
felt that the result would be defeat for
his man. With candidate in the field
of the machine brand the leaders say
that the politicians big and small would
have been Smoked OUT and that the
organization would have been able to
get a line on the political situation that
would have proved valuable for. the cam
paigns to come.
AS it stands today, the organization does
not know positively how strong 1t Is,
and the leaders admit that they have not
any reliable information as TO the rank
and file of the '.old guard. They know
that a number of the regulars have
gone over to the progressive democracy,
or the Lee wing. but what they really
wanted to know was just what percentage
had deserted the machine. The only
way in which this information could be
accurately obtained would be through

Even among the friends Of Smith there
are those who viii admit that they think
the senator made a grieyous political
mistake, and they point out that Smith
in his fight next year VIII be cropping in
the dark i'll SO far as the strength OF the
organization Is concerned
1t is taken for granted that Lee, once
elected senator, will throw all his in
fiuence throughout the city and the coun-
ties for William l.. Marbury in the long
term fight and il IS claimed that Lee
will be in a much stronger position than
Smith politically by the time l3l4 rolls
around There are even those who VIII go
SO far as t. say that within six months
time Lee will be the recognized state
leader of the democracy and that Smith
will then be IN for a crushing defeat in
the long-term primary. The leaders of
the CITY machine admit that all this Is
possible so far as the state organization
is concerned, because that machine has
been slowly, but surely, slipping away
from Smith for the past four years. All
over the eastern shore the former lieu
tenants of Smith have cut loose from
their old leader and are busily engaged In
forming new combinations to save their
faces when the overthrow of the
Smith regime shall become an accom-
plished fact.

MONTREAL, Aug. IA live cat on

point in maritime law.
His majesty's ship Donegal was dis

the St. Lawrence river lines, and the

Although the Glenmark had been

live cat was found on board. 1t used
to be held that a vessel still belonged
to the original owners if a live cat or
dog was found on board BY the salvers,
and the question is being discussed in
both legal and maritime circles as to
whether this still holds good.
