President Coolidge will be a

clusion can be drawn from the
phenomenal success of his cam

achieving success, too, without

Special Dispa tch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, Md, April 1.-That
the blond bob-haired bandit, who
yesterday held up the cashier in a
Howard street lunch-oom and es-
capped with $3.50, is the same girl who
has been operating in New York and
is making her headquarters in Wash
ington, is the opinion of the police to-
night. following the report of two
former detectives of the Baltimore
police now on duty at the Bowie
race track.
These two men. who now operate a
private agency, today said that man
and a woman answering the descrp-
ton of the bandit and her escort had
been seen at Bowie every day, except
yesterday, since the meet opened.
The couple arrived with the Wash
fngton crowd daily, and while there
was nothing suspicious about either
of them, the girl was so pretty she
attracted the attention of both de-
tectives, who stand at the gate and
scrutinize every person entering the
grounds, for known pickpockets.
After the start of the races yester-
day one of the detectives remarked
to the other that he had not seen the
pretty blonde today.
The detectives said few days age
the girl appeared in attire exactly
like that worn by the bandit at the
time of the hoidup. Her companion
was always the same man who ap-
peared to be about thirty years ole
and of dapper appearance
The robbery, which Is one of. the
most daring in police annals, occurred
in the heart of the retail shoppine
district while hundreds of persons
were passing the place every few
minutes. Search of all hotels anG
rootning houses here today failed to
reveal a clue and police believe tha-
if they are apprehended they will b.
found in Washington.

CENTRALIZED RULE
FLAYED BY RITCHIE
Condemns Entertainments on State
Rights in Jefferson Day
Address.
G. O. P. COMES UNDER FIRE
Davis, Silzer and Kramer See
Democratic Victory.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 12.-The Ameri-
can people are on the threshold of
great struggle of the states to regain
their lost rights and to retain their
present ones against the increasingly
insistent encroachments of centralized
federal power. at variance with Amer
lean polity, Gov. Albert C. Ritchie of
Maryland declared tonight before the
Jefferson. day banauet of the National
Democratic Club.
The struggle to keep American
ideals and to preserve American in
stitutions against latter-day misuse
and rnisinterpretation overshadows
all other issues, he said, since mo
high purpose either at home or abroad
ever has been or can be accomplished"
by America, except through those
ideals and institutions.
Gov. Ritchie was one of the prin-
cipal speakers at the clubs banquet
which is held annually on the ami
versary of the birth of Thomas JEFF
ferson, which this year will be to-
morrow. Other speakers who ad
dressed the diners in the Hotel Com
New Jersey, John w. Davis, former
ambassador to Great Britain, and j.
Bruce Kramer, national committeeman
from Montana Many democratic
members of both houses of Congress
were present.
Law Making Absent; Progressed.
Gov. Ritchie, emphasizing the
strength of the institutions conceived
in the eighteenth century by the
American founders, pointed out that
throughout the nineteenth century,
which saw the United States attain
ascendancy in manifold aspects of it's
national life, during which the coun-
try developed into the greatest nation
in the world, no amendment was made
to the Constitution save the three
which followed the civil war.
From 1904 to 1913, he said, America
retained the beliefs that national
unity and national harmony were only
possible so long as the nation kept
within the limits of its domain and left
the states free within the limits of
theirs"
Later, the governor went on, laws
were enacted and constitutional amend
ments adopted which one by one are
eating into the very heart of the Amer
ican nation, because they are breaking
down the sovereignty Of the American
state and substituting for that sacred
thing an incompetent, extravagant
American control radiating from Wash
ington."
The situation has arisen, he contin-
ued, partially because it was possible
for majorities in the legislatures of
thirty-sH states to impose their will
on the nation. The vote of ISIS mem
bers of these bodies, he said, could
write into the Constitution any amend
ment they cnose to ratify without any
appeal to the people for that action.
And these legislators with rare ex-
