ISEIUTOR RAM
PISSES AWAY
I WAS A SUFFERER FOR MANY
YEARS WITH A SEVERE
ATTACK OF NEURITIS
ATTACK DATES FROM DEBATE
A Republican Successor Will Be Ap-
pointed and May Break the
Democratic Control of
Senste
Washington — Ieidor Rayner of
I Maryland one of the leading Demo-
cratic members of the United States
senate and a man whose name was
offered to the Chicago convention by
William J Bryan as a suitable randi-
I date for the presidential nomination
died here at the end of a long Illness
resulting from continued attacks of
neuritis
His severe illness covered a period
of about six weeks dating from the
I efforts made In the Joint political de-
bate with Bourke Cock ran at Balti-
more late In September Physicians
compelled him to retire from thd cam-
paign Immediately after that and be
returned to his Washington home
where be died
His death creates a vacancy In the
senate that probably will be filled by
a Republican through appointment of
ISAOOR RAYNER
United 8tates Senator from Maryland
Governor Goldsborough of Maryland
While the legislature of that state is
Democratic It does not meet this win-
ter and the Republican governor’s ap-
pointment will hold through the open-
ing sessions of the next congress
Senator Rayner’s death removes
one of the Democrats on whom the
control of the senate depended in the
new congress With his vote the
Democratic leaders counted on mus-
tering one more than a majority of a
total membership of 96 In any event
48 votes with the vote of the vice
president In case of a tie was looked
upon aa sufficient strength to insure
control
While the Democrats still have an
apparent strength of 48 the death of
the Maryland senator reduces the sup-
posed majority to a point very near
the dividing line of party controL
Before he entered the senate he had
attained a national reputation because
of his vigorous conduct of the late
Admiral Schley’s case before the
naval court of inquiry that investi-
gated the action of American officers
in the battle with Admiral Cervera’a
Spanish fleet
Mr Rayner was a native of Balti-
more and was 62 years old He was
a member of the Maryland legislature
when 28 years old and served three
terms In the national house of repre-
sentatives from 1886 to 1892 He was
elected to the United States Senate In
1904 after having served a four-year
term as attorney general of Maryland

with babies In their arms Joined In
the demonstration which gathered in
volume aa the crowd surged with the
three acquitted men through the prin-
cipal streets to Lexington Hall head-
quarters of the Industrial Workers of
the World Cheering was continuous
From every side street In the ten
ment district flocked hundreds of op-
eratives carrying red lights The
throng In Lexington Hsll finally made
conditions In the building so danger-
ous that Ettor was forced to ask them
all to leave Then from an open win-
dow be addressed the great crowd
made up of mill workers of a score of
nationalities
Both Ettor and Glovannlttl declared
they owed their lives to the "solidar-
ity of the Industrial classes of the
world"
Ettor was continuously Interrupted
with rfheers and as he concluded there
was a great outburst
Ettor was plainly tired out but
when he appeared at the window of
Lexington Hall to make his address
his voice was as clear as ever
"Ten months ago” he said "when
Glovannlttl and I were trapped away
from you It was said the backbone of
the Lawrence strike would be broken
and that you would go back to your
misery slavery and looms On Janu-
ary 30 both of us were placed in a cell
and told in so many words that we
were there for our great activity in
helping you gain your liberty We
have had but one worry and that was
that the masters would succeed in
driving you back to work that the
masters would club or bayonet yon
back to the mills Tonight you are
happy we are happy everyone Is hap-
py If tonight I do not sleep behind
prison bars enshrouded by granite
walla it la because of your support
the support of millions of men and
women throughout the world I owe
my life and so do my brothers Clo-
vannittl and Caruso not to the laws
of Massachusetts not to the tricks of
clever lawyers but to the working
class of America and the world"
Ho spoke of the arch erected after
the flag demonstration on Columbus
day and saying that the motto "For
God and Country — the Stars and
Stripes Forever the Red Flag Never"
was a shame "
