BALTIMORE HELD
KEY TO VICTORY.

Metropolis Is Ruled by

BY THEODORE HUNTLEY

BALTIMO ORE, July 29.-"As
goes Baltimore, so goes Maryland
Nine times out Of 10 you can
count on it. Subject to exceptions
the rule holds good both in pri
mary and general elections.
City and counties have their diff
ferences. These blaze at times
into open hostility. Baltimore is
ruled by political machines. The
counties diStrust machine politics,
unless their own. Particularly dc
they distrust the Baltimore ma
chimes.
They don't want Maryland run
from Baltimore. In the vote on
holding a constitutional conven'
ton a few years ago to consider
changes in the fundamental gov
ernment of the Free State, Balti.
more voted for it and the counties
unanimously against it. 1t was be-
cause the counties became finally
fed up with the Ritchie machine
that they wrecked it and threw
Ritchie out.
COUNTIES SELDOM SOLID
But the counties seldom COM
bine so solidly as to elect their
own tickets and leave Baltimore
out in the cold. They could, but
they don't. Enough of them line
up with the Baltimore machine to
supply the votes needed to win.
It's a matter of simple arithme
tic. Forty-two votes in Baltimore
149 all told in nominating con
Vention, IS needed to win in q
statewide primary contest, with
seven the highest number of dele
gates in any one counEF. A mil
lion, six hundred thousand people
in the State. Half a million OF
them voters. Half of the popula
ton and half Of the vote in Balti

BALTIMORE THE KEY

That's the real question of this
senatorial campaign. He CAM

No final predictions will bt

Maryland. That's true today ant
will be true for the next few
weeks. BY a curious anomaly
Maryland appears to be at once ;
Roosevelt State and a conserVa
tive State.
It is clear enough from even 1
casual survey, for example, that:
i. The Baltimore police hav'
had no orders on the senatorship
2. The firemen have had nc
orders.
3. Laborers on public contracts
have had no orders.
TYDINGS COCKY
Tydings' managers dismiss al

They say the Senator will get
95 per cent or the veterans vote
They say he has 30 times as many

evasion Of their eugenic laws by
"Gretna Green" marriages in other
States.
Avoidance Made Difficult.
The Rhode Island law requires that
residents married in other States who
return to live in Rhode Island must,
within six months, submit to physical
examinations, including blood tests.
The Wisconsin attorney general has
ruled that persons with social disease"
who wed outside of Wisconsin to avoid
the law, may be subjected to prosecu-
ton.
Both Wisconsin and Rhode Island,
the clearing house said, reported lit
tie change in marriage statistics since
their bloodtest laws went into effect,
but decreases in the number of mar
riages were noted in upstate New
York, in Connecticut and in Cook
County (Chicago), Illinois.
Marriages Drop.
"Up-State New York." the clearing
house said, experienced q so per
cent decrease in July, 1898, marriage
figures from July, 1897, with nom
resident marriages dropping IT per
cent. Connecticut reported decrease
of nearly 5000 marriages during the
first years after the law became ef-
fective in January, 1896. Marriage
licenses granted in Cook County, Ill.,,
for the first eight months of 1888
numbered 20755, as compared to 3O,-
674 for the first eight months of 1887.
Illinois law dates back to July /,
1887"
The survey also disclosed that five
States-Alabama. Louisiana, North
Dakota, Texas and Wyoming-require
only the prospective bridegrooms to
furnish physicians certificates of COM
plete health. Eleven other States de-
mand personal aflidavits of good
health before marriage, but have made
no provisions for physical examina-
tions and impose no penalties for giv-
ing false information.
Oregon residents will decide by ref
erendum in November whether to
apply its blood-testing law to both
men and women. At present only men
are required to take pre-marriage
physical examinations.

These new Senator's will succeed
eight Democrats who will not answer
