that has attended the cause since the
Maryland Democracy last met in con-
vention. In 1906 the country had only
10 Democratic Governors, since then
every State election has shown gains
for our party. At the election of 1910
Maine went Democratic for the first
time in 80 years. Massachusetts. Con.
necticut. New York. New Jersey, In
diana and Ohio are now in the Demo
cratic column. and today the flag of
Democracy floats in triumph from the
capitals of 26 States in the Union.
IAN of this indicates that the trend
of public sentiment is in favor of the
election of a Democrat in the next
Presidential election. and in behalf OF
our State we ask that the Democratic
National Convention of 1912 be held in
the city,of Baltimore so that the next
President Of the United States may first
be named on Maryland soil. -

can go to the candidate who has
