b. ANNAPOLIS, Md, March 17.-Gov.
Ritchie has taken an open stand for
the passage OF legilation authorizing the
manufacture and sale of beer, cider and
light wines in Maryland He sent his
message on the liquor question to the
house.
The message is an Endorsement OF the
Jones bill to legalize 81 per cent bev7
erages and contains an Endorsement OF
the wet program as far as Il is pro-
posed to put II into effect in this state.
The governor said:
Il have considered with great interest
the various bills and resolutions now
pending in the Legislature on the queh-
ton of prohibition.
ITO restore to the people of this
state the rights which l. along with so
many others, feel have been denied them
by drastic federal legislation, involves
a great many admittedly difficult cues
tons, some Of the more important OF
which may depend upon the supreme
courts decision in the Rhode Island
case
My judgment is that the farmers OF
this state want and should not be de-
MED the right to make cider and ligh
wines as they have always done and
that the laboring man and the people
generally want and should not be denied
beer and light wines.
