THE ~MAss VOTE" PROPOSITION

THE MASS VOTE" PROPOSITION
Commenting OH the bill intro
duced at the recent session of the
Legislature by Senator Prick to
substitute the mass vote i'll place
of the county unit system III the
nomination of candidates for
State offices, the Towson Jeffer-
sonian declared it a dangerous
propositions The bill was lost in
the Legislature, but the princi-
pie it sought to establish. of NOM
mating candidates who had re-
Ceived the highest number of
votes in the State as whole, ir-
respective of the vote in the vari-
GUS counties and city legislative
districts as units, is sure of agita-
tion i'll the future.
Senator Tricks bill was in
tended, of course, to give Balti-
more city greater power in shap-
ing the political destinies of the
State. Eve do not believe that
the counties of Maryland will ap-
prove of this bill. and there is no
reason why they should" said
the Jeffeisonian. The mass vote
of Baltimore city, cast for a "fav-
orite son's of the city, would ordi-
narily Offset the vote in a large
number Of counties, and would
thus give the city an advantage
to which it is not entitled. A
candidate chosen by the mass
vote of Baltimore city would not
always be acceptable to the coun-
ties of Maryland, and the fairest
way to choose a candidate accep-
table to the State as a whole is
to get an expression of the vot-
ers in the several counties and
legislative Districts of Baltimore
city, as units.
The politicians of Baltimore
city. and particularly the daily
press, are. continually crying out
Tor larger representation for the
city i'll the General Assembly.
and they seem TO take advantage
of every opportunity to increase
the political prestige of the city
In thus looking out for their own
interests. they cannot be blamed
but the counties of MARYLAND
should not permit the city to pull
wool over their eyes, if they
want to maintain their political
independence and have the affairs
of the State properly conducted.
Baltimore city today, with its
representation at Annapolis. and
its influential press, cxerts a suf-
fciently dominating influence in
the affairs of the State. and it
would be dangerous tendency
to increase this influence by per-
hitting them to avail themselves
of the mass vote of the CITY in
nominating State Candidates.

PREPARATION seems likely to be developed
at the present conference here between
the allied and German delegates. 1t ap-
pears to be agreed that the reparations
must be accepted chiefly in goods.
1t is generally believed the delegations
soon will be able to tell their Govern
ments with some degree of definiteness
what Germany is willing to do and also
give the highest figure which they believe
can be obtained from Germany without
q too great depletion of the country's re-
sources. 1t is generally admitted that It
will be impossible 20 compel Germany to
pay the immense Preparations expected
from her. particularly those demanded
by the French people The Germans. for
their part, seem conscious that anything
acceptable by the Allies will be consid-
cred too great by the German people.
AS n consequence, it is said, the desire
now is to give all the Governments a
chance to educate their peoples to that
state of mind where they will accept any
necessary compromise.

MADRID, Dec. 19.-Although Marquis
de LENA. the Spanish Foreign Minister,
was on-committal to-day when ques-
toned regarding the reports of an inn
portant treaty having been concluded
between Spain and Great Britain, there
is inclination in the highest political
circles here to give credit to the indica-
tions which have found publicity recently
from various quarters. that Spain in
tends to break away from the Isolation
which has been her policy since the
restoration of the monarchy. The For
eign Minister'S informal statement was
that he was unable to give a definite
reply to the inquiry regarding the re-
ported Anglo-Spanish treaty but he re-
marked that the relations between the
two countries were of the most cordial
nature.
IA Reuter- despatch from Madrid re-
ported the issuance OF an official denial
by Foreign Minister de Lena of the re-
cent rumors that an Anglo-Spanish alli-
ance had been concluded, as printed by
the newspaper La Libertdd of Madrid in
the course of an editorial article.1
II is generally admitted. however.
that conversations have been progress
ing FOR several months with a view to
the negotiation of "A strong commercial
convention with Great Britain. 1t Is
argued on many sides that such a con-
vention would be 4 purely logical out
come OF present conditions as Spain is
in need of foreign counsel and assistance
to aid in her development.
1t was thought at one time that an
agreement with the Latin countries or
Europe would be the ideal policy for
Spain to pursue, but both the monarch
and the nation as whole appear to
have come to the conclusion that such
a policy would be more idealistic than
practical, and that 1t was necessary
that material benefits be sought
Investigation showed that the sister La
tin nations of Europe Were in virtually the
same position as Spain herself-F'rance,
Italy and Portugal all having similar
natural products for disposal such as
wine. oil and fruits. Then, according to
high political quarters. the United States
was taken into consideration as an out
let for Spanish trade. but it was found
that the recent laws in America closed
Nthe market there for Spanish wines.
while fruits are grown in abundance in
the United States and its oils are drawn
to a great extent from Italy, so that the
trade would be somewhat one-sided.
With Germany and Austria out of the
question for the time being, at least the
only other available points of the COM
pass for the moment were Spanish
America and Great Britain. The nat
ural affinity OF race. 1t is pointed out,
attracted Spain toward Spanish-Amer-
lea. with which her relations were con-
stantly becoming stronger. The diff

BOSTON, Dec. 19.-The United

of 100000 people, or the

territory can sustain, about the

To support such population,
he said, $50 trillion calories of

it would be necessary to import
about half the calories necessary
for sustenance.
