SETTLED.

The Messenger considers the
message of President Wilson. de
livered before joint session of
Congress last Tuesday. the key
which opens the door of peace
and prosperity for our country.
The business world has been rest
less and unsettled ever since the
Presidential election until to-day.
1t now knows that there is a
very level headed Democrat in
the Presidential chair who urges
the curbing of monopoly without
disturbing the business of the
nation. For years we have been
hearing about the grinding
trusts. the vicious monop-
olies, etc. President Wilson says
their power to do harm To the
people shall be curbed. but their
business shall not be ruthlessly
destroyed in the curling. Here
are some of his remedies
/. Effectual prohibition of inter
locking directorates of great cor
porations banks. railroads. in
dustrial, commercial and public
service bodies.

W TO NOMINATE
SENATOR'S.

,elnS we cannot get along
ws-hout a scrap between the city
of Baltimore and the counties of
Maryland. The bone Of conten-
ton now is whether United
tates Senators shall be nomi-
mated as we now nominate Gov
ernor and other State officials
by the unit system or by mass
vote. The Baltimore people nat
urally favor the mass vote plan.
because it will at all times place
within the power Of the city.
with the addition of a few popu-
lous counties of Western Mary
land. the naming of candidates.
The unit system gives to each
county and the city Of Baltimore
the same number of votes they
formerly cast in the General AS
sembly for Senator. The mass
vote. means that every vote cast
in the State will 90 to the credit
of the candidate. Ii is claimed
that Mayor Preston is pushing the
mass vote plan. The Sun says
on the subject
State leaders with whom the
subject was discussed unanimous
ly expressed the opinion that
the county Democrats in both
branches of the Legislature. with
the possible exception of How
ards representatives. will line
up solidly against Mayor Pres
tons plan to prevent the appli-
cation of the county unit system
to senatorial primaries,
On top of this comes informa-
ton indicating that some Of
the Republican members Of both
houses can be depended upon to
oppose the Preston bill. Like
the county Democrats. the county
Republicans are not anxious to
so arrange things that it will be
possible for the city organization
practically to control all State
nominations.
With the county Democrats
fighting it. and with nothing bet
ter than a slight split in the
ranks of the Republicans, there
is no chance of the Mayors
measure going through, for the
combined vote of the city delega-
ton and all of the Republicans
will still leave il five votes short
of having a constitutional major
ity in the House of Delegates.
What the Republican members
do. in all probability. will depend
very largely upon what Governor
Goldsborough and other State
leaders tell them to do. and the
State leaders are said To favor
the county-unit system.
