No One TO Fight Smith.

There is one angle of the present Sena-
toriai situation in the Democratic party
that is very interesting to politicians and
those who watch politics-the reluctance
of strong men to make the fight against
Senator John Walter Smith. although
there is apparently the making of real
fight against him in the situation.
Here is SenatorBlair Lee. leading the
county progressives and with the nucleus
of an organization all over the State; any
ious for the right sort of man to get in;
here is Mayor Preston. with at least part
of the city machine, aching for chance
to hammer Smith, here Is Arthur p. Cor
man, with his own county and friends in
Southern and Western Maryland, report
ed to feel much like the Mayor; here is
the organization of progressive Demo-
Gratis in the city ready to line mp; here
are various elements Of greater or less
potency in various sections of the State
dead up against Smith-but where, where
is the man?
Smiths people say that he would wipe
the earth up with anyone who ran against
him. but bis opponents say he would do
no such thing, that real fighter could
beat him.
Taking middle ground on this and as.
suming that candidate against Smith
would have good fighting chance, why
does not real one appear7 it is being
asked. If he won, he would leap to fame;
if he lost, almost certainly he would poll
votes enough to make him real factor
in the State, aud unless he were very
old man, enough to put him in line for
something big in the future. That ought
to appeal to some man with good, red,
sporting blood, politicians say.
There is, as everyone knows, the diff,
Guilty in lining up the various anti-Smith
elements behind one man. These ele-
ments are not naturally cohesive. But
all OF them are s i'd to be strongly against
Smith, and in the judgment of most peo-
pie. if man of clean. record and strong
personality entered the fight. he would
get practically all the anti-Smith support.
This lack of concrete opposit on to the
Senator is presented as condition so
peculiar that people who really think
about politics are somewhat disposed to
marvel. 1t is condition worth thinking
about, worth little conjecture as to its
meaning. with little imagining of what
would happen in some other States that
might be named.
It should be said, however, that the
Lee people do not seem TO have become
discouraged. They are reported 10 have
made overtures again to Judge N. Chas.
Burke and former Judge James Alfred
Pearce. both of whom they appr cached
before Hayes was brought forward.
Neither Judge Burke nor Judge Pearce
was receptive, according to the common
understanding, but the Lee people are
calculated to keep trying. BALTIC. Sun.
