K Another thing they are raising up here this year is mortgages. Taft has scored the Insurgents but the Insurgents are satisfied with the belief that the score will come out all right in 1913, Hon. Syd. Anderson, who succeed- ed James T, Tawney, spent the sum- mer in Washington without once tak- ing the wrong street car. If it is true that Senator LaFol- lette is 100 years ahead of the times, he may be able to tell us when the ‘Whittier case will end, Northern Minnesota has grown four foot tobacco. Will our neigh- bors to the south please put that in their pipe and smoke it? PARDON US FOR THE SUGGESTION. Although Northern Minnesota nev- er has been strong on representation, either at St. Paul or Washington, it is not entirely her fault. Is it, Sen- ators Haycraft, Works and Lende? Therefore, when congress decided that this state was to have a con- gressman-at-large added to the bunch already in captivity, the North sat up and took notice, and, if we may be pardoned for the suggestion, she now gently suggests that the peo- ple of the commonwealth pluck a statesman from our great domain. The North is willing to sacrifice any- one of several entirely competent men to slave a few years by the sweat of their brow on small salaries to later retire and earn a competence for their families by giving some fat corporation the benefit of their ex- perience. SILLY SEASON AND DR. DUMAS. Our friend, the Duluth News Tri- bune, has been seeing things. First, it tells us that the Dumas outburst - is merely a political fight and that there is much spite work in’it, drags in imaginary feuds dating back to the wet fall of ’35, falls for the Haz- en tommyrot and tops it all off with the information that Mike Davis is toasting marshmellows on Star island at Cass Lake, If the News Tribune 18 to be taken seriously, the assistant attorney general’s assertion that the Néws Tribune story is an insult to Beltrami county is only too true. DEMOCRATIC FIGHT IN MARYLAND. The political campaign which has kept Maryland stirred from end to end for more than three months, closed last night in a whirlwind fin- ish and today the primaries of both parties were held throughou State. The Republicans, with no rival- ries for the principal nominations on their State ticket, have shown little activity. The Democrats, on the oth- er hand, have been aroused by bit- ter factional contests for the nomi- nations. This, added to the fact that it is the first time that nominations for State offices in Maryland have been made by -the direct system of voting, causes the results of the pri- mary balloting to be awaited with the keenest public interest. Interest centers almost -wholly -in the fight between State Senator Ar- thur P. Gorman of Howard county, son of the late United ‘States Sena- tor Gorman, and State Senator Blair Lee of Montgomery county for the the Democratic nomination for governor. Not only the gubernatorial nomina- tion but a bitter fight for the control of the Democratic State organization is involved in the contest for the head of the ticket. Gorman is backed by the regular State organization and hopes if nom- inated and elected to make the gov- ernorship the stepping stone to the United States senate in succession to Senator Isador Ravner. The real di- rector of the Gorman fight is Sena- for John Walter Smith, the leader of the State organization, with John J. Mahon, the Baltimore city leader, as chief lieutenant. The opposition, variously termed as the inusrgents or progressives, is headed by Congressman J. Fred Tal- bott, Governor Austin L. Crothers, who withdrew from his candidacy for re-election to help Blair Lee, and former Governor Edwin Warfield. Congressman Talbott is the real leader in the fight against Gorman. Member of the National Committee, boss of Baltimore county, and a life- long organization man, Talbott was a trusted lieutenant of the late Sen- ator Gorman, and followed the lead of the great State boss for a quarter of a century without question. To- day he is found leading the support of Lee for the gubernatorial nomina- tion and doing his utmost to defeat the son of his former chief. The real secret of Talbott's turn- about-face in the political arena is to be found in young Gorman’s well- known ambition to enter the United State senate. After the death of United States Senator Gorman Con- gressman Talbott. espired tovsucceed to the toga, but was defeated in his ambition by John Walter Smith, who had the support of the younger Gor- man and who has since managed to retain a firm hold on the State or- ganization. In the present fight Tal- bott again seeks to wrest the party leadership from Senator Smith by defeating the latter’s choice for the head of the State ticket. If Lee wins the nomination for governor, and is elected, he will have, in the patron- age of his office, all-powerful weap- ons with which to beat down the old organization, create a new one, and retire Senator Smith to private life. Lee’s success, according to the gen- eral understanding, would mean the election of Congressman Talbott as the next United States senator from Maryland. The Republicans appear to be well satisfied with the situation. They contend that whether Gorman or Lee is defeated in the primary the Dem- ocratic party will be split wide open and that the nominee will be knifed to such an extent that the Republi- can ticket should be able to win out handily. - There are no contests for the Re- publican nominations. The State eed upon in confes ence and will be named in the State convention without opposition. Phil- lips Lee Goldsborough of Dorchester is the choice for ‘governor, W. H. Cunningham of Carroll county for State controller and Morris A. Soper of Baltimore for attorney general. The ticket is regarded as_exception- ally strong, representing as it does both the younger Republicans and the older element of the party. Mr. Goldsborough, who is to be-the. nominee for governor, is a native of Somerset county, and ‘a lawyer by profession. " In 1896, when the Re- publicans were in control of the leg- islature, he made a strong fight for United- States-senator, but was ‘de- feated ‘by George L. Wellington. In 1897 he was elected State controller. In 1902 President Roosevelt ap- pointed him:collector of -internal rev- enue for the Baltimore district, and he was reappointed by President Taft. ®©.®®©®®®®®®®®©©® © Politics and Politicians, @ COOOOVROOOOOOO® Connecticut delegates to the next national Democratic convention will urge the nomination of Governor Baldwin for the vice presidency. At a special election to be held September 27 the voters of Atlanta will decide upon -the acceptance or rejection of the commission plan of government. Former Governor Malcolm B. Pat- terson is mentioned for the Demo- cratic nomination for congressman in the Tenth Tennessee district, to succeed the late General Gordon. Five States now have the presiden- tial preference primary law. Théy are Oregon, Nebraska, Wisconsin, New Jersey and South Dakota. Col. Leonidas F. Livingston, who represented the Fifth Georgia dis- trict in Congress for-many years; un- til his defeat in the last election, is to become a candidate for the seat of Representative Tribble, of the Eighth district. Democratic leaders in North Da- kota are working quietly to enlist the support of other western States in a movement to secure the vice- presidential nomination for John Burke, who is now serving his third term as governor of North Dakota. Not the least discouraged by four defeats, officers of the Oregon State Equal Suffrage Association are pre- paring to wage a most vigorous cam- paign to carry the State for woman’s suffrage at the presidential election to be held next year. The death of Senator Frye of Maine has Jeft Senator Cullom of II- linois as the ranking member of-the upper house in point of continuous service. Senator Cullom was first election to the senafe in 1883, eight years before the election of Senator Gallinger of New Hampshire, who is the second oldest member. N Congressmen David J. Lewis of Maryland and William B. Wilson of Pennsylvania began their careers as breaker boys in the coal mines, while Congressman Carl C. Anderson of Ohio takes pride in recalling the days of his youth, when he earned his liv- ing as a newsboy and bootblack. Charles R. Crisp of Georgia, who succeeded Asher Hinds of Maine as parliamentarion of the national house of representatives, hopes to emulate the example of Mr. Hinds in becoming a member of the house. Mr. Crisp, who is a son of the late Speak- er Charles P. Crisp, has announced himself a candidate for congress from the new Twelfth district of Georgia. The contest for governor of Massa- chusetts this year is expected to be unusually lively and interesting. Governor Bugene N. Foss, whose name has been mentioned in connec- tion with the nomination for vice- president, will be amed by the Dem- ocratic party to succeed himself. Lieutenant Governor Frothingham is a candidate for the Republican nomination for governor, as are also -Joseph Walker and Norman White, both members of the general assemb- Make a wise move.
