BALTIMORE. October 3o-Senators
John Walter Smith and Blair Lee are
expected to carry Maryland in the cleo
tons Tuesday. not only as an indorse-
ment of the federal administration. but
for the effect upon next years contest.
The secretary to the President, Joseph
P. Tumulty. and Tom Pence. secretary
OF the democratic national committee.
attended the final campaign rallies
The state democratic leaders realize
there is uncertainty as to the 1900 in
dependent votes which generally con-
troll Maryland elections. State issues
overshadow national issues. There Is q
strong feeling against the democratic
machine, of which Senator Smith is the
boss.
For this reason the result Is in doubt
on the governorship. The vote will be
close.
The fight centers on the head Of the
ticket. Indications are that the demo-
cratlc candidates for state controller
and attorney general will run far ahead
OF the candidate for governor. The
democrats are expected to elect a ma
jority of both branches of the legisla-
ture
The Opposed Candidates.
Emerson c. Harrington, democratic
candidate for governor, is the present
controller. Ovington E. Weller, repub-
lican candidate, is chairman of the
state road commission. He has the
state organization of his party with
him.
Four years ago the democrats were
not united and lost the governorship,
although the legislature remained
democratic. The trouble then was the
bitterness between Senator Lee and
state Senator Arthur Pue German.
This year the situation is similar
Senator Lee entered the primaries as
a candidate for the gubernatorial nom
ination. Senator Smith effected the
nomination of Harrington. Feeling be-
tween the two senators may lose the
democrats the governorship.
Weller has promised to give the state
a business administration. He has the
support of progressives. the Roosevelt
tian party in Maryland having disin-
tegrated. If the republicans can poll
about IS per cent of their registered
vote Weller may win.
The ballot is unusually long carving
ninety-one names. Hence the count will
be slow and late.

While the registration is in favor of

The City Court JudgShip

Now that the general assembly is in session the disposal of the Putnam city court judgship situation is caus- ing considerable interest and specula- ton. The present incumbent, Judge J. Harry Mann, a democrat, was ap- pointed by Governor Baldwin when the deadlock between the House and Senate in 1913 resulted in no appoint. ment being made in the regular way. The regular term expires Jan. l, 1916, but Judge Mann's appointment was limited by the converting of the legis- lature in 1915 and the appointing of his successor. The present assembly being strongly republican Judge Mann realizes that his term in office is swift ly drawing to a close. It IS stated that two resolutions are to be introduced in the general assembly, one of these res olutions being for the appointment of a judge to fill in the time between that when the appointment is made and the first of January, 1916, the other for the regular term extending from Janu- ary 1916 to January 1918.
 Before the change is made, unless some special procedure to expedite matters is taken, the regular cumber- some routine may consume two or three months and Judge Mann may still be on the bench for that length of time.
 There are two candidates in the field for the appointment, ex-Judge l.. H. Fuller, whom Judge Mann succeeded, and Deputy Judge Mahlon H. Geissler, a local lawyer. Whether the same judge will be appointed for the two pe- riods is not known and the whole mat ter is in doubt so far as the knowledge of the public goes.

Suffrage Bill

Putnam suffragists were encouraged by the result and national suffrage leaders were not dismayed. As they left the galleries, led by Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt and other champions of the cause, they declared that the fight by no means was over and that the suffrage propaganda would be pressed forward and onward until every woman in America would have the right to cast a ballot:
 nYou can say that the suffragists ot Putnam are elated and enthusiastic over the vote in the House" said Mrs. W. J. Bartlett, president of the Put. nam Equal Franchise League, refer ring to the amendment to the constitu- tion to enfranchise women, which was defeated in the National House of Rep resentatiyes Tuesday by vote of 20i to l74. A fwo-thirds vote or 252 would have been necessary to carry 1t. Party lines were not strictly drawn, many opposing it being in favor of leaving the question to individual states.

Building Company Lays off Help

The Wheaton Building & Lumber Company of this city has laid off all of it's men on account of dull times and no business. The concern is the larg- est of it's kind in the city if not in the county. There has been scarcely any building going on in the city the past year and the prospects for contracts of that kind in the near future were not encouraging. The concern has done much work beyond the borders of the city and constructed number of gov ernment buildings including the post office building at Meriden and the finish on the post office in Norwich be- sides number of different buildings in and around Boston.
