Grundy'S Determination to
Run Will Not Force Labor
Secretary to Quit.
FRIENDS MUST HANDLE
ELECTION CAMPAIGN
Cabinet Member Counting on Ware
Organization Pledge Despite Rumor
It May Permit Rivals Return.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

Secretary James J. Davis of the De-
partment of Labor is in the race for
the Republican senatorial nomination
to stay, he made it clear here today.
The announcement that Senator
Grundy is to remain a candidate for
the senatorial nomination, although
Grundys selection for the gubernato-
rial nomination, Samuel s. Lewis, has
quit, Is not going to cause Mr.. Davis
to withdraw. He Is prepared to fight
It out
Mr.. Davis is to 60 to Philadelphia
this afternoon, where he will sign the
petitions placing him on the ticket,
which must be filed by Monday night.
From Philadelphia he is to go to
Stuebenville, Ohio, where his brother is
in hospital, following an automobile
accident. BY Sunday night he viii be
in Pittsburgh and then return to
Washington Monday.
Duty Lies in Washington.
The Secretary of Labor has declared
from the first that he believes his duty
at present lies in Washington, where he
Is working through the Department of
Labor to help reduce unemployment in
this country. It is expected that he will
adhere to this view and that the
campaign in Pennsylvania for the
senatorial nomination will be left very
largely to his friend and supporters
there.
Rumors started today that the Ware
organization in Philadelphia, which is
the regular Republican organization
there, having succeeded In having the
Grundy candidate for governor with
draw, leaving the field free to the Ware
candidate, Francis Skunk Brown of
of former Gov. Pinchot, would be will
ing to permit Senator Grundy to return
to the Senate. In other words, the Ware
people would be satisfied with having
the gubernatorial nomination and they
would not now be active in support of
the Davis candidacy, to which they had
committed themselves. This report Of
a new deal by the leaders, however,
lacked confirmation.
It is known that Secretary Davis be-
lieves that he will have the whole
hearted support of the Philadelphia or
ganization, which has declared for him
following the withdrawal of Mr.. Ware
himself from the senatorial race.
Ware Backs Davis and Brown.
Mr.. Ware, in his statement Withdraw
ing himself from the senatorial con-
test, expressed hope that his friends
would support Mr.. Davis for the Senate
and Mr.. Brown for governor.
Whatever the result of the senatorial
race, it appears now that Mr.. Ware has
succeeded in compelling Mr.. Grundy to
relinquish his candidate for governor,
Mr.. Lewis. Whether Grundy will line
up with some other candidate for the
gubernatorial nomination, or whether
he will tacitly now agree to the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Brown remains to be
seen. On the surface it looks as though
Mr.. Grundy, in his first brush with
Ware and his Philadelphia organization
since he became Senator. has been
worSted.

MRYLAND WOOL GROVE RS
WILL POOL THEIR CLIP
CONTINUED from Page ~

the national Corporation expects to
have under its control one-third OF the
total clip of the country. by reason
of this control it is expected that the
National Corporation will have more
influence on the market and should be
able to secure better price for the
farmer.
The Federal Government will ad-
vance through its cooperative agency
80 per cent of the market value of the
wool at the time of delivery at the
warehouse. The grower will retain an
equity in his wool until it is sold and
the balance due him will be paid as
early as practicable after sales are
completed.
Meetings will be held in the indi-
vual counties in the State to explain
the workings ofthe corporation. Those
who have been active in arranging for
Maryland farmers to participate in the
new wool marketing movement antici-
pate that practically all of them will
take advantage of the opportunity.
The meeting in Charles County will
be held on Monday, May 18th at P.

Court Room if it is available All
producers of wool are invited to this
