SIDNEY E. MUDD TO BE SPEAKER Republicans of the House Decided to Elect the Ex-Congressman as Presiding Officer Democrats Support John Walter Smith for President. ANNAroi.ts, .Inn. 1. Tiro Hcpuljllc.-m niumbcra of tho Jl.irylauil houso of rtolo gates, In caucin last night, nomluatoil oi-Congrcssmnn Sidney E. Jludd for speaker; Jlnrtln HIksIiisi, of Tnlbot, for chief clerk; O. L. Wilson, of Ualtlmoro, for reading clork.nnd .Tallies Albsrt Smith, of Laurel, for journal clerk. Tho Eastern Shoro peoplo claim a victory In tho senn torshlp light against Congressman George L. AV'elllngton. Tho Democratic lnonibers of tho senate nominated John Walter Smith, of Worcester, for prosldont. Mr. Smith was president of tho last senate. Sonator W. Caboll Bruoo, of Ualtlmoro, who was elected as a Domocrat, doollned to outer tho caucus. This leaves prnctl cally a deadlock If Bruco falls to voto for Senator Smith when tho Senate attempts to organize Tho present mooting of tho Maryland legislature promises to cxclto moro goneral Interest than nuy of Its predecessors In many years. Ouo of tho reasons for this is tho fact that It is tho first of Its kind In which tho Republican party havo had a mnjorlty in either houso sluco tho closo of tho late civil war. Another is that it will elect a United States senator to succeed Charles H. Gibson, and us tho Republicans havo a safe majority on joint ballot, thcro Booms no reasonablo room for doubt that Senator Gorman will, for tho Urst timo slnco ho boenmo a sonator, havo a Repub lican colleague. It will also oxcite great Interest becauso It will attempt to enact many measures ol reform, which It is understood will, If passod, havo a great' deal to do with tho political futuro of tho state. That there will be many flght3 over thoso measures Is certain, because the Democrats still retain control of tho senate by a slender margin, and as most of tho proposod legislation will bo aimed at alleged abuses that It is claimed havo growu up under Democratic rulo stubborn resistance to their passage seems certain. The organization ot tho houso and son ato will huvo no spoclal bearing on tho fu turo ot thoso bodies. No business of groat moment will bo undertaken until after tho inauguration of Governor-elect Lowndes on Jan. 8. A serious split exists In tho Republican. .ranks over-what- iS'knowu .n tho "eastern shoro law," which provides that ouo of Maryland's souators shall oomo from that portion of tho stato which lies cast of tho Chesapeake bay. This law has stobd upon tho statuto books since 1788, and has never been Ignored, but now it is proposed to sot It nside and to chooso a man from tho wostern portion ot tho stato to sit. in tho United Statos senate with Senator Gor man, who also hails from that section. A majority of tho Republican members are also from that section, and it is pro posed to override tho minority. Without tho minority votes tho Republicans can. not elect a United States senator. Upon tho othor hand, tho mombers from tho western shoro claim that tho law isuncom stitutional nud unjust, becauso of tho great disparity in tho population of the two sections, and are equally determined not to voto for a man from tho eastern shoro until it is clear that ono from tho west cannot bo olectcd.
