The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1926-04-29
(From The Marylander)

There are innumerable indications
that the coming contests, in fact the
| contests which are already at hand,
will be almost devoid of real partisan
ship, that they will be almost devoid
of factionalism in the usual sense
of the word-for there is not much
partisanship evident, and the old-time,
vicious factionalism, is also largely
missing at the present time in both
parties.
The contests for supremacy, in the
two parties, will, apparently be per-
sonal-for the Democrats are lining
up as Richie and anti-Ritchie, and
the various factions are split up on
that line, while the Republicans are
lined up, regardless of the usual fac
tional considerations, as Weller and
anti-Weller, and are already engaged
in vigorous warfare for and against
the continued supremacy of the SEN
ior senator. And on these personal
lines the voters of the two parties are
now beginning to line up for the pri-
mary struggles, which bid fair to ex-
coed in bitterness anything heretofore
known in the State since the present
direct primary law became effective,
many years ago.
And this non-partisan phase of this
unusual condition of affairs bids fair
to continue after the primaries have
been held, and the candidates of both
parties have been safely nominated.
For the voters of the whole City-and
to some extent the entire State, are
apparently preparing, in an unusually
large measure, to vote their individual
preferences, rather than cast their
ballots for the regularly named candi-
dates, especially so far as the leading
nominees are concerned, and party al
legiances have been so widely dis
rupted that there is no telling at the
present time what the real situation
will be when the election takes place
OH november second.
The denomination of Senator We'll
Ter is so nearly an assured fact that
it is looked upon as a practical Ger
tainty. Those who are opposed to him
are rapidly realizing that such is the
case and are openly asserting that
they intend to carry the fight to the
polls in November and do not expect
to finish it until he is defeated. They
say, without any mystery whatever,
that it is their intention to work
against and vote against him regard
less of the fact that should he be de-
feated the result would probably be
the transfer of the control of the U.
S. Senate to the Democrats and there
by greatly add to the troubles of Pres
ident Coolidge in securing the adop-
ton of his plans and policies by the
Legislative branch of the Government,
and would therefore seriously inter
fere with his administrative program
1t is a strange feature of the polit-
ical situation and is unusual in Mary
land where there have for many years
been more than one outstanding figure
in each party. The nearest parallel to
it was the rather extended period of
time when the late Senator German

even in the German days there were
men who almost measured up to him
in Influence in his own party and
among his enemies several men who
were his superiors in ability if not in
induence-but today Governor Richie
is so far in the lead in power and
fame that it will take the most extra
ordinary effort on the part of his
/ large number of opponents to make
even a fair showing in. the fight they
are preparing to wage against him in
the primaries-for there is no doubt
Of the fact that he now has the best
cards in the deck to play against his
fces-and unless there is a new deal
and a change ,of hands, he will prob
ably win out in the primaries.
He has what is now the most pow
erful instrument that can be used in a
primary contest, in the control Of the
State Roads organization, under the
management of the fairly shrewd and
thoroughly INSCRIPTIONS chairman
with ten millions of dollars to spend
this year in the counties of the State.
Under the direction of the Road Com
mission will be a fair sized army of
energetic men scattered around ev-
cry precinct, from one end of Mary
land to the other-all of whom will
work for Ritchie-a force in the hands
of an able manipulation superior to
that of any other single force in the
field.
He will have the Public Service
Commission back of him, which will
secure the support of all the Public
Utilities organizations, and he will
have an army of other officials, all Of
whom owe their jobs to him, and all
of whom will work with a will to win
the fght-all of which forces will
greatly strengthen his position in the
primary contest, but may prove to be
burden too heavy to bear, when the
real fight takes place before the whole
people-where every vote counts, in
November.
Against the Governor is a decided
and forceful sentiment, but morgan
lied at the present time. What it will
be able to do in the remaining four
months before the primaries, it is
hard to foretell, it may gain such a
sweep before September that it will
overcome all those who oppose it, even
the powerful forces which are bound
together by official ties, and it may
fail-the outcome is now an unknown
decree of fate. But the opponents of
the administration are not without
hope.
And overshadowing all, is the we'll
known fact that this is not a partisan
year-and there are not few signs
that all the usual politico -mathemat-
ical calculations may fail in both par
ties. The vets and the drys are mill
tant in both parties, many of the
older and really conservative mem
bers of both parties are silently sui
len, and there may be surprises of
tragic sort in store for all. Even the
most observant of the usually we'll
informed are confessedly at sea.
