ng GORMAN FOR PRESIDENT? (1! The Plans of the Maryland Dem-| ocrats to Present His Name. | Washington, July 9.—Maryiand| Democrats are no longer divided in- to a Gorman and an anti-Gorman) faction. There are divis' party, due to personal jealousiesand | la state issues, but there is abundant! evidence that the Maryland Demo-} crats have united to present 4ior- man’s name for the presidency. Be- fore his departure for Europe Sena- tor Gorman said, in an interview, |, that he was not a candidate for the th presidency. This assertion may be taken with a grain of salt and Gor- man’s friends in the South have not been checked in urging the senator's availability, while the Democratic politicians of Maryland have only one candidate for the nomination. Itis frankly conceded that Maryland is a doubtful state and that Gorman is necessary for Democratic success. It is not considered as part of the well matured plans that any formal q announcement of Mr. Gorman’s will- ingness to accept the national leader- ship of the party be made until the size of the vietory which the Mary- land leaders are sanguine of winning next November is known, If their triumph is as sweeping as they now expect itto be, they confidently be- lieve that Mr, Gorman’s prestige will be so increased that his nomination by the national convention next year will be assured, Senator Gorman is scrupulously avoiding any course of action or ex- pression of opinion that could be]; construed as indicating a choice at this time on his part between the candidates for governor or the aspir- ants for other nominations that will) 7 , be made by the state convention in Baltimore in the middle of Septem hee. Beyond notifying a number of persous-that-hewill start back home on August 25, no word has been re- eelved from him by the politicians since he went to Europe for rest and recreation, pl he in pe P al in th rm Vic re I Judge Gantt in the Race For Governor. |.)
