FIGHT AVERTED BY
RECENT CONFERENCES

The dove of peace has spread
its wings over the unsettled
conditions within the ranks of
Democratic State leaders, and
those of Baltimore city and the
several counties, and as a result.
Governor Albert {. Richie will
20 before the electorate at the
election i'll November, as the
Darty's standard-bearer for re-
lection as Chief Executive of
he State.
Leaders Adjust Differences
For time the candidacy OF the
Governor for denomination and cleo
ton, appeared as though II would
meet with opposition from the forces
dominated by former UniteI States
Senator John Walter Smith. Peace.
however, was established following a
series OF conferences that centered
around the Senator, and Frank A.
Furst, a political power OK Baltimore
city.
So, out Of IL ALL the party will
place before the voters the following
ticket
Albert c. Ritchie, for Cover
nor.
Thomas II. Robinson. Hartford
county. for Attorney General.
William S. Gordy, Wicomico
county, for Comptroller.
IL a Democratic Legislature is
elected John NJ Dennis will be con-
tinued as State Treasurer.
Says Harmony Is Restored
Neither Mr.. Furst nor Mr.. Smith
would say what went OH at tha: con-
ference, nor would Mr. Smith make
4 public statement indorsing Richie
or the ticket, as did Mr.. Dennis. But
after the conference events began
moving with unusual rapidity, and i'm
not more than an hour Mr.. Furst
was able to announce that harmony
once more reigned in the Democratic
party
The only thing that Mr.. Furst
would say about the conference was
that there was not to be the slightest
break In the friendship that for more
than 40 years had existed between
himself and Mr.. Smith; that they
were as close as ever and he expect
ed fully the friendship TO last as
long as both OF them lived. The
conference was of the most friendly
nature, Mr. Furst said, and while he
and Mr.. Smith were not In entire
agreement on some points, they were
in agreement on most.
Ticket Satisfies Smith
Mr.. Smith, while not entirely agree
able to the denomination of Cover
nor Ritchie, is satisfied with the tick
ct as a whole, and will make no
fight against any part of It.
Early last week he asked Mr.. Furst
not to make any statement indorsing
Governor Ritchie until he could have
the opportunity OF talking matters
over with Mr.. Furst. To this Mr..
Furst agreed.
AS an indication that Mr.. Smith has
decided not to oppose Governor
Ritchie and was willing that Mr..
F'urst make the statement advocating
his election, one of the first things
that Mr.. Furst did after returning
from the conference was to come out
unequivocally in favor of the nomi-
nation and election of the Cover
nor.
1t is taken for granted that Mr..
smith agreed to the making OF this

Effect Of League Failure.
The marked failure of the League
of Nations to function in the
Greeco-Italian affair has had the
effect of making the anti-court
forces in the Senate even more rabid
against it. They point out that the
League having failed so signally
there is no reason to believe that
the court created by the League
could function any more effectively
than its parent. They say if the
nations now in the League refuse
to allow the League to interfere
with their affairs, there is no
reason to suppose they will allow
the League court to do so either.
whether or not this line of rea'
soning is accurate, it is neverthe'
less apparent that the opponents
of the court are daily growing
stronger in their opposition to il
and the Leagues failure to func
ton will be used as new argu
ment against Americas entering
the court when and il the matter
reaches the stage of debate on the
floor in the new Congress.
Most of the Republican leaders
privately predict that the proposal
will never reach the stage of de
bate except possibly in argument
with the Democrats after the Sen
