DEMOCRATIC SENATORS AND
MEMBERS WILL CAUCUS
JANUARY 9Th.

Chairman Murray Vandiver,
of the Democratic State Central
Committee, has issued a call for
caucuses of the Democratic
members of the State Senate and
the House of Delegates to be
held in Annapolis on January 6,
the day before the legislature
meets. In addition to selecting
the two presiding officers, each
branch will also elect its desk
officers. Under the call, the
Democratic Senators will meet
in the Senate Chamber and the
Democratic Delegates in the
House Chamber. From present
indications, State Senator Jesse
D. Price, of Wicomico county,
will be elected President of the
State Senate and Mr.. James
McC. Trippe, of Baltimore City
Speaker of the House of Delegat-
es. 1t does not appear as though
any Democratic Senator will en-
ter the fight against Senator
Price. All opposition to him has
subsidized. The others whose
names were prominently men
toned in connection with the pre-
sfdency have retired and several
of them are now openly support
ing Senator Price. On the
House side it is conceded that
Mr.. Trippe will be the choice of
the caucus by a big majority.
The only Democrat who appears
to be insisting that his name
shall be presented to the House
caucus is Mr.. Albert J. Cumm-
ings, of Montgomery county. Mr..
Cummings chief supporters come
from his home county. If Mr..
Cummings should be defeated
in the caucus, some of his friends
will endeavor to have him select
ed as Chairman Of the Ways and
Means Committee, which place
carries with it floor leadership
of his party. Mr.. Cummings
has been reelected for. his fourth
consecutive term as member of
the House. Mr.. Trippe has the
Import of the solid city Demo-
racy for the Speakership.
Not only were efforts made to
start a factional fight over the
two presiding offices, but also
over the important desk officials.
These, too, have fallen flat be-
cause there is a widespread SEN
timent that the same men who
held the places two years ago,
and all of whom made excellent
records, should again be elected.
No opposition of any kind could
be raised against them. This
means that Mr.. Albeit S. Almo-
ney, of Montgomery coonty, will
be reelected Chief Clerk of the
House of Delegates and Mr.. John
R. Sullivan, of Anne Arundel
county, Secretary to the State
Senate. These two positions are
most important and require very
careful and capable men. Upon
them rest the responsibility of
keeping all the files and records
Of the legislature in perfect con-
dition. 1t is expected that a
number of the state and city
leaders will be at Annapolis at the
time of the caucus and they will
remain over for the first session
of the legislature. - Baltimore

Would you have done otherwise,
he asked the jurors, '1f a man with
that face, a man with that counte-

by the defense to testify that Black
