WIN. N. MAL0Y
ANNOUNCES FOR
SENATORSHIP
Opposes Geo. l.. Radcliffe Who
Is Named On The State
Organization Ticket
RUMOR AROSE AS TO
MIR. MALOY'S BACKING

After it had been conceded that the
Democratic organization candidate for
the u. S Senate, George l.. Radcliffe,
would have no opponent in the pri-
maries, the announcement came as a
surprise that w. Mines Maloy, of
Baltimore had filed for the office.
The action of Mr.. Maloy seemed to
indicate that Mr.. Radcliffe was not
altogether acceptative to all elements
in the party. Mr.. Radcliffe's entrance
into the 1884 campaign had as its OBJ
jective the Governorship, he having
been offered by Senator Tydings and
others as a compromise candidate, the
compromise including the withdrawal
of both Richie and Jackson.
After the collapse of his campaign,
it would not be unreasonable to con-
clude he might not be a very accept
able adjunct to either Mr.. Ritchie's
or Mr.. Jacksons political activities.
But he was endorsed by the Richie
management and accepted as the Or
ganization candidate for the Upper
House of Congress.
When Mr.. Maloy was reported as
considering making a try for the Sem
ate, it became noised about there
might be substitution made and Mr..
Maloy be published as the Organiza-
ton candidate. This, however, has
been denied by the Baltimore group
who declare Mr.. Radcliffe is still their
choice for Senator.
William Curran, ranked high as
a city Democratic leader, annouced
he was backing George L. Radcliffe
for the senatorial nomination. He
denied he was supporting Maloy,
eleventh-hour entry into the race, al
legedly with the encouragement Of
elements in the fifth-term ranks of
Gov. Richie.
Curran made his pronouncement af-
ter conference with David G. Wine
brenner, Sd, Secretary of State and
manager of Governor Ritchie's CAM
paign for denomination.
"As far as l KNOW" he said, "the
Democratic organization in the city
is supporting Mr.. Radcliffe. There is
no basis for any suggestion that the
men and women in the party support
ing Governor Richie are not also
intellectually supporting Mr.. Rad
cliffe."
Mr.. Maloy has filed his papers for
the candidacy and this assures pri-
mary contest for the Senatorship. He
is not inversed in political procedure,
and, it may be, he will make some
inroads into what is generally conced-
ed, Radcliffe majority.

Not on Army Records.
Again Little Bear pictures himself
charging in the face of artillery and
bursting shrapnel. This affords some
clue to his identity, for the only re-
corded instance in which the Army
used artillery against the Sioux was
at the so-caled Grafton fight near
Fort Laramie in 1854. So far as can
be ascertained. however. the name of
Little Bear does not appear in the
Army records.
On one occasion Little Bear pic
lures himself as riding into a COM
pany Of fleeing soldiers, touching
them. and escaping safely. To touch
them, under such circumstances, was
a greater glory than to kill them. He
has somehow come into possession of
an Army saber, presumably by killing
its owner. He was very proud of it,
but didn't know how to use 1t, and
pictures himself as hurting it, with
deadly aim, at the head of his oppo-
nent.
Little Bear himself did not long re-
tain the trophy. After a few pages
the style of drawing and the sigma
ture changes 1t had passed into the
hands of a Crow named Crane, pre-
sumably by the murder Of Little Bear
The bulk of the old ledger is taken
up with a pictorial autobiography OF
Crane. He was evidently an extraor-
binary character even among the
plains Indians--a man Of great energy
and daring. careless, boastful, living
always in the present. This is demon
strated by his style of drawing. Yel-
low Horse and Little Bear we're scrup-
ulous artists, depicting their exploits
with conscious painstaking, with the
result that they look stilted and un-
natural.
Crane drew hurriedly, perhaps in
brief intervals between scalpings, horse
stealings, etc. AS a result his pictures,
although crude from the artistic
standpoint, tell a much more vivid and
realistic story. His exploits were di-
rected against other Indians. Appar-
entity he enjoyed unscathed record

BY fhs Associated Press
Politics have no more place IN the

than In the preparation Of the Gov
ernment weather reports, Attorney
General Cummings declared in a radio
speech last night. The new deal, ne
Gaid. is economic rather than political.
Its very terminology is that Of

THE measures operating seek 20

sense Of the word which means the
abolition of idleness and poverty in

be kept steadily in mind when we seek
20 appraise the attacks made by the
politically minded upon the program
Of the administration
Another form Of ill-advised criu-
cism is illustrated by editorial and
oratorical comments challenging the
constitutionality of certain of the
Presidents policies It should not be
forgotten that the President is him
self an experienced and accomplished
lawyer. II is a fair presumption that
he would advance no measure that he
did not believe 10 be well within his
constitutional powers. The Attorney
General is his official legal adviser
1t would be futile for that official to
give advice except in accordance with
the law.
THE Attorney General does not
conceive il to be his duty to make new
laws or to search for strained con-
structions to support existing law. II
Is his duty TO conStrue and uphold
the law and the Constitution as ap-
piled and interpreted by the decisions
Of our courts.
'aThose who affect to believe that
the Constitution is in serious peril
forget or ignore the fact that the
courts of the land, In orderly fashion,
will decide all such questions as they
arise. In cases which they have thus
far passed upon no constitutional de-
fects have been found in any essential
measure connected with the so-called
new deal. Let me say by way OF
comfort to the timid, who may be
disturbed or bewildered by the out
cries which arise from interested
sourceS--be Of good cheer, the Su-
prerne Court of the United States is
not likely TO place the seal Of its ap-
proval upon unconstitutional meas

tuition is entirely safe in the hands of
