COOLIDGE ENDORSEMENT
Platform Praises National Ad-
ministratiOn and It's Ac-
cOmpliShments

The Republican State convention to
select delegates to the national con-
vention at Cleveland next month met
in Baltimore yesterday, declared over
whelmingly for President Coolidge as
the choice of Maryland Republicanism
and instructed the states delegation
to support him at Cleveland.
AS the president won the state in a
primary election against the straw OPP
ponent of an "uninstructed delegation"
the instruction of the delegation was
a mere formality. Maryland will have
10 votes at Cleveland.
! The platform praises the accom-
plishments of the national administra-
ton, condemns "the public waste, ex-
travagance, greed and corruption
which to a considerable degree pre-
vailed during and since the great war"
and goes on to say:
wherever wrong doing has existed
it should be punished and we commend
the efforts of the present executive
to that end.
1--WE declare our firm belief, how
ever, in the orderly processes of gov
eminent and protest against the de-
struction of pivate character by in
competent and criminal witnesses
through the medium of so-called in
vestigations, intended not so much to
punish wrong doing as to promote
partisan purposes.
1--WE recognize in President Coolidge
a man of serene courage and proven
ability"
