MARYLAND SWINGS TOHUGHEs
 DETECTION IF 50O0 DEMOCRATS

retary of state of Maryland In 1912 he supported Colonel Roosevelt and served as progressive national commit teman from his state.
 Some of the most prominent demo- crats in Baltimore are actively sup porting Governor Hughes" declared General Williams.
 "The president of Hughes business mems league is c. C. Homer. president of the First National bank and the Baltimore Clearing House He had never been anything but democrat up to 1916"
 One of the leagues vice presidents is Thos. O'Neill, a leading drygoods dealer of Baltimore, also a life long democrat; $. Stuart Janney. one of the best known members of the Maryland bar. an old line democrat is also a vice president of the league, the secretary and treasurer of the league are demo- crats.
 Registration figures show that Hughes will carry Maryland There was falling off of 2,200 of the demo- cratic utilization in Baltimore while the republican utilization increased 2,000. In the last state election the democrats won by 5000. Baltimore city gave the democratic ticket 4,500 majority It is apparent on the basis of decrease and increase of utilization that Maryland is lost to Wilson 'Governor Hughes will have an enor- nous democratic support. The defec- tion from Wilson surely will not be less than 5000 and may go as high as 1G.000. MT. Wilson has lost the support of men of his own party because of the Adam son act, his Mexican and European policies and the personell of his cabinet.

ST. LOUIS, Oct 16.-Elimination of the word obey in the promise of the woman in the marriage ser vice was recommended in a minor ity report of the joint commission on common prayer submitted to the house of deputies of the Protestant Episcopal general convention here to- day.
 The house of deputies referred back 10 the committee on prayer book all proposed changes in the marriage ceremony, in the catechism, and in the institution of clergymen.
 These matters cannot come before the general convention again for three years.
 The minority report recommended that the present injunction beginning wilt thou obey him and serve him, 2 be changed to wilt thou love him. comfort him, honor and keep him in sickness and in health: and. forsak- ing all others. keep thee only unto him so long as ye shall live"
 The minority report suggested also the omission of the words "and with sll my worldly goods I thee endow' in the service. An argument ad- vanced was that the expression 'en- dow is a relic of old English law, under which the dover rights of women were guaranteed and that to- day the question involved is a civil -one to be taken for granted.
 It also was proposed to eXpunge the expression "as Isaac and Rebec- ca lived faithfully together" etc, and merely say living faithfully to- eether."
 Many regard the reference to those biblical personages as out of date, others declare that there is no req son why Isaac and his wife should be regarded as models when there were many other husbands and wives equally faithful
 Both the majority and the minority reports were presented to the house by the Rev. Edward L. Parsons of Berkeley. Cal, Numbers of changes were suggested in the majority re- port Among them were the shorten ing of the Ten Commandments as (Continued on Page Two)
