Republicans Hopeful
Washington, July 18. Senator Wel
ler told the president today that while
the democratic registration In Mary
land exceeded the republican registra
tion by 65,000, he was not ready to
place the state In the democratio
column "without a reservation." The
attitude of the business Interests of
the state, he said, combined with the
effect of the action of the Baltimore
Federation of Labor in endorsing
Senator La Follette, would do much
to determine the result.
Senator Weller left with the presi
dent a statement giving figures as to
registration and the vote in the elec
tlona of 1896, 1900 and 1920 when the
, republican national tickets carried the
state.
La Fotletle's Campaign
Determination of the La Follette
organization to make a strong bid
for votes In the south is shown in the
announcement by Mr. Nelson that
campaign headquarters would be
opened in New Orleans. Subordinate
to the. main offices in Chicago, head
quarters porbably will bo opened lit
New York city an i In San Francisco,
Representative La Guardia, republi
can, New York, has been asked to
make preliminary arrangements for
the eastern offices while the work on
the Pacific coast probably will be en
trusted to Rudolph Pprockles.
On his arrival Mr. Nelson Immedi
ately went Into conference with mem
bers of the national rommlttee, plan
ning to confer with Senator La Fol
lette later In the day. He predicted
that the La Follette ticket would be
placed on the ballot in every state al
though he admitted that some ob
stacles were bplng encountered.
The most serious rituation, he said,
was In AVest Virginia where, It was
admitted, difficulty was being met in
complying with the election law. The
task of placing 1a Follette electors on
ballots In all states lias been held in
the bands ot Donald Richberg, Chica
go attorney.
When C. W. Upson, oresident of

Bent a building contractor to tha alte
of the camp at Burlington this aft
ernoon with Instructions to look the
ground over for the purpose of pro

and to alart work Monday morning
ao as to be ready by August 1, he
proved two things, one that New
Britain people are generous when
generosity is needed and another that
a large sum of money can be raised
In this city in record time when a
real emergency exists.
Last Friday at noon a meeting was
held at the Burrltt hotel of repre
sentatives of the Rotary, Klwanla,
1.10ns ana Keaus clubs, forming a
Joint committee to discuss plans for
providing additional housing facili

Miss Ventlle Logan, secretary of the
Fresh Air Camp, Inc., that the school
physician and nurses had found at
least 400 more boya and girls who
were undernourished and needed fh'
health giving advantages of a fresh

Inch concrete road from Elmwood to

Berlin and Into Hartford via the turn

The French proposal provides for

Germany In default hut confers no
specific powers In this regard on the

Reason for Objection,
The French are objecting because

The British obseners express the
