all the officials who are connected
with the executive offices. next to the
Governor himself He not only was
on duty all the time. but he drew up
and put into shape all the bills which
were enacted as the platform pledges
Of the democratic party. He was
obliging TO the members of the Gen
eral Assembly, and no task was too
great for him, in response to any re
quest for information and assistance
10 those who sought for his aid.
Now that the Legislature is out Of
the way, the attention of the members
of both parties will be directed TO the
coming Congressional and Presidential
election, and the nominations prelimi-
nary thereto. States are already being
made up. and those who are anxious
to 20 TO the National Convention OF
both parties are letting their wishes be
known.
1t is generally conceded that the re-
publicans will send to Chicago as two
of their Delegates at large. Calen
l.. Tate. Chairman of the State Com
mittee. and General w. Bladen Lown-
des, should the latter desire TO go.
Mr.. Tate. as the official head of the
Maryland republican organization. is,
according to custom, entitled to one
of the places; Senator France, for the
reason that he is United States Sena-
tor is also entitled TO the honor. The
only two District Delegates who are
reasonably sure TO be chosen are State
Senator Goodell Of Frederick. and
Charles H. Hoffman of Allegheny. in
the Sixth District, ana State Senator
Snader of Carroll Of the Second Dis
trict.
On the democratic side. as San
Francisco is so far away, there is not
such a demand for the honor. 1t is be
lieved that the Delegates at Large will
he Governor Albert c. Richie, Senator
John Walter Smith, Collector Joshua
w. Miles, and Major Brooke Lee.
should the latter desire to go. As far
as the Democratic Delegates are con-
cerned. there have been no names
mentioned publicly. up to the present
time.
The Congressional situation on the
Eastern Shore, 40 far as the demo
cratic nomination is concerned, is at
present chaotic. There are three can
didates actively out for the honor, and
all have their friends and supporters
who profess to believe in the success
of their particular favorites.
Hilton Robertson is canvassing
the Shore with great energy and zeal,
as a pronounced wet" candidate. and
seems to be meeting with no little en-
enlargement from those democrats
who are opposed &c the enforcement
of the VOlstead Act.
Allan GOldsborough, and Col.
Albert w. Sisk of Caroline County. are
out making tours of the SHORE. both
Of whom have dry" records, and both
Of whom have many friends and sup
porters-the county leaders generally
being divided in their support of the
latter two; some being advocates OF
Colonel Sisk, and some Of Mr. Colds

SOMETHING TO REMEMBER

Republican efforts to corral
the soldiers have evcntuated in
some of the most grotcsque of
the mistakes made by leaders OF
that party. These political stra-
tegists first sought to infame the
minds OF the former fighters
against the Democratic Admins
tration and thus predispose them
60 Republican policies and candi-
dates. When that plan miscar-
ried. the Spokesman of the G. O.
f. began to promise to the sol
diers land and bonuses and spe-
cial favorS designed TO make
them a Republican asset such as
had been for many years a GER
tain other organization of veter-
ans. That this scheme has met
with no more success than that
which attended the first is album
dainty demonstrated by the re-
turned soldiers present attitude.

THURSDAY, APRIL s. 1920.
THE TWO PRESIDING
OFFICERS

There was nothing periunctory
about the expressions OF both the
Senate and the House at the
close OF the Legislature concern
ing the way in which President
Norris and Speaker Tydings had
performed their duties as presld-
ing officers. The members
chosen to make the presentation
speeches of the gifts to the two
presiding officers fifty expressed
the sincerity of the feeling Of the
entire membership of both
Houses.
A difficult task was before Mr.
Norris when he was selected to
follow Peter J. Campbell as
President of the Senate, and that
he measured up TO the standard
of impartiality and ability left by
that lamented and accomplished
Senator, is the highest kind of a
tribute. President Norris from
the beginning Of the session was
a thoroughly worthy successor
to the late President Campbell
and his own talents and individ
uality made a deep impression.
Speaker Tydings brought to
the chair in the House a strength
of character, a familiarity with
legislative procedure and an emf
nent fairness toward all his fel-
low-members that have made
him an outstanding figure in
State House history. His control
of the House was as manifest in
its most turbulent sessions as its
most peaceful ones, and to the
end he deservedly had the re
spect and confidence of the whole
membership.
Two such admirable and able
presiding officers as these could
not fail 10 bring out the best that
was in the General Assembly,
and the good record of the SEES
sion of 1920 is due in no small
measure to their guidance

10 the Editor OF the EUeRiRg Capital:
The General Assembly has conclud.
ID its work and adjourned, after a
very satisfactory session. Probably
never before in the history of this
or any other State has a session OF
any legislative body been as complete
y free from partisan politics as the
one which has just been concluded
at Annapolis. Rarely was the word
republican or democrat used in any of
he discussions or debates, AMI no par
tisan acrimOny was aroused at any
ime during the entire session. Under
he able leadership of Mr.. COblentz, ana
he fair and shillful speakership of Mr.
rydings. the work was expeditiously
lone. and at no time since the or
sanitation on January 9TH was there
ny congestion of bills on the files
but all were handled carefully and ex-
Deditiously. and the committee work
was kept up. SO that there was at no
time any congestion in the committee
rooms. Taking it altogether, it was
most satisfactory and commendable
session. The Executive and other
State officials were very generally in
close and harmonious touch with the
members. and al all times was Cover
nor Richie ready TO confer with the
members of both parties. on all mat
tiers of public interest before the two
Houses.
Heretofore. the Office of Secretary
of State has been considered a sort
Of an ornamental sinecure. and the in
cumbents of that important position
have contented themselves with sign
ing their names to public proclama-
tons and other public documents. and
affixing thereto the great Seal of Mary
land. The present incumbent, mir.
Perlman, has done more than that. He
has been one of the most active of the
real working aids OF the Governor
in fact. il is not beyond bounds TO say
that he has been the most active of

ed as typical Of the soldiers opin-
ion OF the Republican Congress:
1t was gall and
vinegar TO the Grand Old Party
to have to play the role OF APP

tory-making period. And while
the party leaders are willing to
grab all the crumbs. they are do
ing their worst to discredit the
Administration as one which did
everything to obstruct victory.
Consequently, the machinery
