IMPERILS
MARYLAND
DEMOCRATS
Split Over Raw Deal
Threatens Defeat of
Party at Polls

ANNAPOLIS. Oct. 14-Mary.
land Democrats, facing national,
State and local campaigns within
the next two years, are staging a
bitter internecine fight that in
the opinion of close observers
must either bring forth a strong
leader or result in defeat in State
elections in 1898.
The rock on which the party
has split is the Raw Deal and
the Roosevelt administration.
Democrats Lose Out
The Democratic hold on the
State was loosened when former
Governor Albert C. Ritchie went
down to defeat before Governor
Harry w. Nice, Republican in
cumbent. Ritchie was an avowed
foe of the Roosevelt administra-
ton and at that time fighting the
Raw Deal was political suicide.
At the same time Ritchie had
antagonized United States Sen.
ator Millard E. Tydings, Demo
crat, and senior Senator from
Maryland.
Tydings, the time at least,
was ,iving support, verbally at
any rate, to the Roosevelt policies.
Since then the whole picture
h. change -. There has been
organized a Young Democratic
Clu' of Maryland backed and
supported by those high in the
Roosevelt administration. Warren
E. Tydings. a relative of the
Senator, was enlisted in its ranks.
But now Senator Tydings has
been cool to the Roosevelt pro-
gram and distinctly antagonistit
to others.
Changes Are Made
Ritchie would most certainly
have attempted to weld the anti
Roosevelt sentiment in the State
into a solid group under his
leadership, friends close to him
aver. But Tydings could not siS
idly by and see the reins of power
again clasped in the hands of his
political enemy, Ritchie.
So the next move came last
week when the organization of
the Maryland Union of Young
Democrats was announced. Sig
nificant among the incorporators
was the name of Warren E. Tyd-
ings. The incorporators include
three names formerly on the ros-
ter of the older organization.
To the public it Was announced
that they were not inimical TO
the Young Democratic Clubs,
which is headed by Lawrence B.
Fenneman, but at the same time
they accuse the older body of haY-
ing failed to attain its purpose.
Unrest Has Spread
This is the outward manifes-
tation of disaffection among Dem
ocrats over the State. There are
several obvious instances of unrest
in the county local organizations.
One among them is Mont
gomery county where two fusion
lists were sent to the legislature at
the last election and a fusion

months supply for camp in butcher
shop, and trailed along behind when he
emerged.
From place to place he went, Dawn
behind him In the flying snow and when
she had been following so for half an
hour, her eyes alert for others who
might be watching Elliott, another fell
into the train ahead of her. She saw
this man step from store entrance
and follow Ben. She FASTENED to be
close and not until she was abreast
of him did she recognize John Martin,
whom she had seen but once before.
He did not turn his head and she
dropped back. She had no doubts of
his loyalty from what Ben had told
her of his bookkeeper.
When Elliott went into the drug
store she stood out of the light from
the building and noted that also Mar
tin loitered near. When Ben reap
peared, Martin followed.
For the better part of an hour this
double stalking continued while the
snow fell thicker and then Elliott
turned into a side street and made the
next turn into the alley where he had
left his team.
Two figures followed him. Fastening
bit as he disappeared into the gloom.
Martin followed Ben, as Dawn trailed
both.
And then, as Elliott drew close and
spoke gruffly to his horses, another
shadowy figure appeared: it was only
blur in the shadows, crouched and
stealthy. The figure swept forward /;
an arm drew back and upward: it
struck and with muffled grunt Ben
Elliott turned, falling sideways and
backward under the impact of blow.
Another voice lifted then in a sharp
cry as John Martin ran forward and the
indistincr figure which was poised over
Elliott, about to strike again, turned,
hesitated, whirled and fed.
"What is it, SOM" Martin cried as
he dropped to his knees beside Ben.
Before a reply could come Dawn was
there, moaning his name over and
over.
"Knife!" Ben gasped. "In the neck

John Martin unbuttoned Elliott's
thick jacket, ripped open the shirt and
his fingers encountered warm, sticky
gush as he thrust them across the back.
"Knifed you! All, sonl"
Dawn peered close into the bearded
mans face as though fearful of what
he might say next

gasped. 1t was light, light gasp; so
light that Emory Sweet did not hear.
But Martin heard and turned and
stood as though frozen in the posture.
Aunt Ems head was held rigldly back,
one hand pressed against cheek.
Quickly, Martins finger went against
his lips in a sealing gesture. He held
SO an instant and then slowly shook
his head, a movement of unmistakable
warning.

Alone, she fixed blankets on the

the darkened bedroom. That done, she
beckoned to him from the hallway.
They confronted one another there
a long moment. The woman's face
worked queerly and she seemed at
loss for words.

him.

"Hurry!" she said. He's so weak 7"
He was weak, indeed. With their
arms about his body for support, they
moved through the snow. Elliott felt
Dawn close to him and closed his eyes
almost happily. He struggled to help
himself so he would not burden her,
but he stumbled and nearly fell and
another gush of blood bathed his body.
After ages Of effort and pain a glare
seemed to be all about, warm breath

sharply:
