I Republican Majority's insolence In Congress Will Bring Disaster, Warns Champ Clark. m the Washington Correspondent of The Jeffersonian) ^"~ ules fight in 1010, which curbed the power of the Speak7 iid the Republican Committee on Rules, former Speaker Champ Clark has warned the G. O. P. majority of the House that unless they change their ways, they will ride to another fall. Representative Clark spoke in connection with reports that the Rules committee would bring in a "gag" rule to put through soldier bonus legislation without giving the membership of the House an opportunity to amend the bill in any way. The former Speaker declared he was emphatically in favor of the bonus, but was as strongly opposed as ever to special rules that shut off debate and opportunity of amendment. Mr. Clark said the Republicans had been considering two plans, one for bringing the bill in under suspension of the rules, which meant no opportunity to amend and no motion to recommit; the other under a special rule which also would limit debate and forbid amendment. "Under a suspension of the rules," he said, "you have got to have a two-thirds vote. You cannot amend the bill; you cannot discuss it beyond for-ty minutes, and you cannot offer a motion to recommit. You are absolutely at the mercy of the men who are running the affairs over on the Republican side of this House. "Three-fourths of the rules brought in here now do not permit any amendment except one motion to recommit, and you cannot do away with it because the general rules of the House of Representatives forbid. You Republicans are going back to be trounced on account of these rules to cut off amendments to bills.

MENTIONED AS SUCCESSOR TO JUDGE MeUANE. State Senator David G. Mcintosh, Jr., whose name is being linked with the appointment on the bence here to fill the vacancy made by the resignation recently of Judge Allan McLane. It is also noticeable that the friends of Mr. Elmer R. Haile and Mr. C. Gus Graaloi) are active. As Judge MeLane's resignation does not become effective until some time hence, it is unlikely that Governor Ritchie will act hastily in making the appointment. (From old county newspapers.) During- the summer months the County Commissioners will sit but half a day each meeting day. WANTED IMMEDIATELY Men to Serve in the Union Armv. Apply at Recruiting Hedquarters. Towson, Md. District should hereafter have any difficulty in "locating" Congressman Benson on the liquor question. At the Democratic State Convention held Thursday in the Academy of Music, Baltimore, he led the fight for, and secured the adoption of a resolution which makes the party's position on the question plain and unequivocal. The resolution, which after debate was adopted by an overwhelming majority, teads as follows: , The Eighteenth Amendment to the Constitution, having been declared ratified, we believe that while this provision rermains in the Constitution it muit be upheld. We further believe that the law abiding people of this country will never be satisfied with the enforcement of the Eighteenth Amendment under the terms and provisions of the present enforcement law, kown as the Volstead act, which was passed by the Republican Congress over the veto of the Democratic President. We further believe that the law-abiding people of this law, under the Eighteenth Amendment, as will permit the making and use of homemade wines and cider and the manufacture and sale of beer in original packages for home consumption only, and to that end we urge the repeal or modification of the Volstead act. Th fight over the foregoing resolution was the outstanding feature of the convention. Senator Smith was; willing that a damp plank be adopted, but he did not altogether agree with the form of Mr. Benson's resolution and insisted upon a declaration against the return of saloons. Mr. Benson was supported in his fight by Governor Ritchie, Comptroller Lee and other State and City leaders, and when a rising vote was taken upon the resolution in open convention 105 delegates were for its adoption and 20 against it. J1 resolution was opposed on the floor of the convention by Stephen W. Gam-*k of Howard, and C. O. Clemson, of Carroll, and Mr. Benson made the only speech in its defense. His remarks were brief but to the point, and elicited warm applause. The platform indorsed the administration of President Wilson and favored the adoption of the treaty of peace without nullifying reservations " The achievements of the Democratic administration were reviewed and commended. The following were nominated as tial election, one from each Congressional district and two at large, viz: At Barge—William Ingle and Joseph M. Smith, both of Baltimore. First District—Charles M.

Although many of the Eastern States have gone "over the top" in the nationwide appeal of the Salvation Army, Maryland is lagging. The appeal supplants the old method used in keeping a corps of workers! busy throughout the year gathering funds and places them more advantageously in rendering assistance to the needy. Baltimore county is just opening its campaign, of which Col. Stuart S. Jan-ney is chairman and Judge Frank I. Duncan, treasurer. No house to house canvass; will be made; checks should be sent directly to the treasurer.______ (Advertisement) Mr. John W.
