FIGHT FOR SPEAKERSHIP
WARM IN MARYLAND.
Lee Men Are Opposing Laird and Sup
porting Bryant of Baltimore
County.

The selection of the Speaker of the
House of Delegates has not been ac-
complished, although the Legislature
will meet on Wednesday, Janury 5.
The two leading figures for the post
ton are Philip d. Laird, of Montgom-
cry county, and Howard Bryant, of
Baltimore county. Those who claim
to be on the inside pick Laird as the
winner, and in support of this view
point to the fact that the Montgomery
man has the support of Frank Furst,
who was at the helm of the Baltimore
city organization for Governor Elect
Harrington, both in the primaries and
in the general election.
Mr. Furst holds that the Democratic
party is facing a serious situation, and
that one way to make sure of not MAX
ing a dangerous mistake is to make
Laird the Speaker of the House. There
is little doubt that sentiment among
people who really want to see the
pledges of the party platform redeem
ed in absolute faith has crystalized
strongly in favor of the Montgomery
county candidate
A development causing the leaders
some uneasiness is the fat announce
ment by the delegates-elect from Mont
gomery that they are opposed to Laird
for Speaker. These men represent the
Lee wing of the party, and it is taken
for granted that their action has the
Endorsement of the Senator. The Mont
gomery men have served notice on the
leaders that they will not support
Laird in the caucus, and there is veil
ed threat that they may bolt the caucus
when it assemblies
The Montgomery trio also register
protest against the selection Of Muir
ray Vandi7er for State Treasurer, as
serting that his occupancy of the office
for twelve years gave him knowledge
of all the useless Offices and waste and
the unsatisfactory condition of the fl
nances of the State.
The protest further asserts that Mr.
Vandiver, "as State Treasurer and
{ member of the Board of Public Works
has a greater responsibility for the ere
alton and existence of those unsatis-
factory conditions than any other man
in public life today"
This statement is taken to indicate
that the Lee forces propose to wage
fight against the reelection of Cen
eral Murray VandiTer. The regular
| leaders profess to have every conf
dence that they can elect both Laird
and Vandiyer.

All of the rooms were decorated with

centre piece of poinsettias was the
most exquisite variety seen here this
season.
Mrs. Mutton, wife of the Comman-

was a delightful social event of New

Honor His Excellency
With HANDSOME SILVER PIECES.
Beautiful Silver Appropriately En-
graved As Parting Token of Es-
TEEN for Governor Colds
borough.

1t was happy thought and certainly
most timely one that prompted the
members of the Governors official
staff to present him on New Years
Day six handsome silver pieces. en-
bossed with the coat-of-arms of the
Goldsborough family and which was
appropriately inscribed.
The gift was a great surprise to
Governor Goldsborough and was pre-
sented by Gen. j. Kemp Bartlett in a
happily expressed speech. 1t is a part
ing token of the high esteem in which
Governor Goldsborough is held by his
official staff, and was given on the
occasion of probably the last social
gathering of the Governor and his
staff on New Years Day at the Gov
ernment House
The Governor was noticeably touch
ed by the gift and the motive which
prompted it, and in his speech of ac-
ceptance he showed deep feeling. The
gift consists of six silver pieces; a
platter, two covered vegetable dishes,
and three silver vases, all bearing the
Goldsborough coat-of arms and the
motto Non Sibi. Upon the reverse
side of the platter and the two dishes
is inscribed the following:

"Now, then, Archie" said Jim,

Finally when the yacht vas head

were gotten out, bent on, and sent up
from the deck. It was a tired crew
and welcomed the order to quit.
"While the weather holds good We'll
keep the topsails on her daytimes and
haul them down at night" said Jim
as they gathered at the cockpit. "Be-
ing short handed and having a dub
crew like you fellows, you would prob
ably get ratified if you were called on
to shorten sail at night in case Of a
blow, so we will make it as easy for
you as possible"
