character. but has never pulled in

Z Most of the Candidates in both par
ties are inclined to be moist" on the
wet and dry issue. thereby rejecting
the dominant sentiment of the State.
One OF the strongest issues put for
ward by DR.. France is his opposition
to the bonus bill. against which SEN
timent throughout the State is also
arrayed. Mr.. Garrett has not an
nounced his views on the subject.
The other issues that figure In the
Senatorial primary contests on both
parties are mainly local in character.
DR.. France indorses some OF the poll
cies of the Harding Administration:
Mr. Garrett approves all of .hem. The
Democratic contenders naturally re-
ject all of the Republican national
policies and condemn its Cons ressional

cause of the dissatisfaction OF Repub-

Garrett is sound, consistent and liber-

Weller az ArtfuI Dodser.

1t Is a matter of controversy among
Republicans of the State whether the
most serviceable agencies Of organized
sentiment have responded to the ac-
tivities of Mr.. France. who is a good
mixer or are just holding back ready
to take a crack at him by supporting
Mr.. Garrett. The supporters of both
are eagerly awaiting the return from
japan of Dr. Frances colleague. Sena-
tor Weller who is the nearest ap-
proach to a.State boss the Republican
party in Maryland recognizes.
Whether Mr.. Weller will take sides
In the factional dispute between the
supporters OF DR. France and Mr.. Gar

runs true to form he will not do so.
The fact Is Mr.. Weller rarely takes
sides on anything. Beyond hanging

DR.. France takes almost as much
credit to himself for building up the
Republican organizations In Maryland
as no is given by some of the national
leaders for tearing II down In the Sen
ate. There Is an impression In Wash
ington that Mr.. Weller will throw the
balance or his influence to DR.. France.
IL he does so, and the colored cleo
torate responds 10 the substantial ar
guments which the Doctor is expected
70 proffer, the Doctor will stand a very
good chance OF holding on to the seat
that he now occupies. The supporters
OF DIR. France also claim that he will
have the support Of Reno Sharp, Re-

THE failures of justice in this coun-

State courts. have been more largely due
10 the Withholding OF power from judges
over proceedings before them than to
any other cause and yet judges have TO
bear the brunt of criticism which is SO
general as 10 the results of present court
action. The judges should be given the
power commensurate with their respon-
sibllity. Their capacity to reform mat
ters should be tried to see whether better
results may not be attained.
Federal judges doubtless have their
faults, but they are not chiefly respon-
slble for the present defects in the
