Writer Predicts
Beall Will Return
To Congress In 1916

!. A political writer, in a published
article on Monday morning in the Bal
timore Sun, gives J. Glenn Beall q
straight ticket to recollection as con-
gresham from the sixth district, with
the Democrats apparently unable to
turn up any opposition.
Louis J. O'DonnelI declared it APP
pears likely that the Democrats may
have to draft a candidate for the con-
eressional nomination. The attitude
was taken that Beall was not inter-
ested in the Republican gubcluatorial
or senatorial nomination and that in
due course he would make known his
desire for denomination for Congress.
There seemed to be no opposition from
within his own party.
O'Donnell said Democratic poll

county; W. Preston Lane, Jr.. Wash
ington county; and William c. Walsh,
Allegany county, conceded that Mr..
Beall had cultivated the area so as
siduously in three years that they
