| The relative strength of the two
branches of the convention was develop
ed when the following resolution was
offered by Mr.. James T. Pritchard, of
Aberdeen:
''In view of the fact that the name of
our distinguished fello w-citizen, the Hon.
Murray Vandiver, has been mentioned
for the office of Governor of Maryland,
therefore be it resolved by the Democracy
of Hartford county in convention assem-
bled that the Hon. Murray Vandiver be
and he Is hereby authorized and request
ed to name 10 delegates with half vote
each from this county to the State con-
vention to meet in Baltimore on August
s to cast the vote of Hartford county in
| said convention" Vigorous addresses
were made for and against the resolution,
the opposition taking the ground that
the convention could better name dele
gates In favor of Mr.. Nandiver's candi-
dacy than to impose that duty upon him
but after considerable discussion the
motion prevailed, and later in the day
Mr.. Vandiver accompanied this action
with the following letter:
THE action of your convention In
passing resolution requesting me to
name ten delegates to the State conven-
tioE with half vote each, and endors-
Ing In no uncertain way my candidacy

find words to express my high apprecia-
ton of your action. And in compliance
with the action of your convention in
passing the said resolution l have the
