BALTIMORE, Sept. 30--A lone sour
note threw the announced harmony
Of the Republican State convention
slightly off key as the G. O. P. went
through the motions of renominating
its standard-bearer, Gov. Nice, yester-
day.
Nominated as running mates Of the
Governor were Judge Oscar Lesser OF
Baltimore, for the United States Sen
ate; Leo Weinberg, Frederick, for
attorney general; DR.. w. G. Jack, Port
Deposit, for controller, and E. Ray
Jones of Oakland, for clerk of the
Court OF Appeals.
The off-key note of the Nice-domi-
mated convention was sounded by Ga
len L. TAFT, defeated candidate for the
senatorial nomination, who, while
urging a unanimous ballot for Judge
Lesser. served notice that his own SO
convention votes were not to be lightly
cast aside.
Asserting the 10000 voters who sup
ported him-representing Western
Maryland Republican strongholds and
many Eastern Shore counties-"de-
mand from all of us representation in
the election" Mr.. TAFT declared his
allegiance to the ticket, but added:
Il would be lacking in candor and
deficient in courage to party duty did
not, In a conciliatory spirit and for
the good health of the party, allude to
an unfortunate practice in the late
primary, not productive of unity
Official Intervention Hit.
He referred, he said, to ''the inter-
vention by high officials of the party,
by the State Committee. the City Com
mittee, and some county committees,
in the primary, and open use of the
party machinery in favor of one and
against another in supposedly free
primary"
Mr.. Tait's Senate candidacy was
opposed by the administration forces,
who ousted him from power as chair
man of the State Central Committee
in 1884.
Denying he had been admitted
again into the Republican fold" Mr..
TAFT asserted no one could put me
out or take me in. for I obviously
have never changed my political
position"
To re-elect the Governor and the
State ticket, Mr.. TAFT told the con-

 While South had weak hand, he felt that his opening bid was fairly safe. Rarely is the double of a bid of one left in for penalties, but this was such case.
 East won the spade return with the ace and returned the diamond five. South finessed and Vests king won. A diamond return was ruffed by East, who now led the spade nine. South should have conceded the trick. but ruffed with the six of trumps and West won with the nine. East won the diamond re- turn with the trump three. He led the jack of spades, and South trumped with the eight, West win ming with the ten of trumps. Now West led low club, which East won with the king and return ed low club, West winning with the ten and then cashing the ace. , The club jack was ruffed in dummy, but East overruffed.
 Now, with everyone down to two cards, East underled the ace of trumps. South, who had not taken trick. played the jack and West took the trek with the queen. East's ace, of course. won the last trick. South. down seven at contract of one for a penalty of 2oO0 points,

While the tendency in playing rubber bridge is to strengthen the high card requirements for an open- ing bid, many duplicate players are inclined to tighten the required strength of high cards for making the first bid. They consider that the chance to speak first should never be passed lightly, and that the lighter the hand, if 1t has the semblance of a bid, the more es- sential it is to bid before an op- ponent has made a call which may be difficult to overcall with safety. do not agree with his view.
 Opening bids should have a sound basis in defense, so that the partner may have some sound rule to guide him in determining his course should the opponents decide to sa- crifice. Here, as horrible example of a light opening bid, which re-
