afternoon In regard to the police situa-
ton and direct primaries.
II found Mayor Mitchell in his home
catching him literally ON the wing
Just before his departure for Wash
ington. We have been particularly
interested in the direct primary system
in Maryland. because our city OF Bal
timorc contains more than one-half OF
the entire population Of the State. a
direct party primary will give the city
a fair reDresc ton in the business

poorly represented.

makes the point that Il is phase OF
public life which the Democratic party
over the country Is championinS, says
that he is In favor OF tho direct mass
vote Of the people. and believes in plac-
Ing responsibility where II belongs.
Our conversation In police affairs
was most useful to me. We can all
learn things from the New York police
system. and in Baltimore our condi-
tons are much the same as they are
here.
II invited Mayor Mitchell to our cele-
bration In Baltimore next September OF
the Hundred Years Peace" and he
has promised me that lie will he the
guest Of our city during tho celebra-
ton.
Each day our plans and enthusiasm
for the celebration are growing. We
commemorate. at the same time, you
