Stewards Washington Letter
BY CHARLES p. STEWART
NIGA Service Writer.

INGTON.-Governor Albert c.
Ritchie, of Maryland, is now unmls-
takably in the limelight as Demo-
cratic presidential possibility.
1t all depended on his denomination
as chief executive of the Cockade state
at the recent primary. Beaten, he'd
have been out of consideration for the
presidency. Overwhelmingly victori-
Gus, he's in the running.
1t remains for him to be reelected
in November, and Maryland isn't al
ways democratic state, but it always
is except when there's dsunion in the
state democracys ranks, and there are
no signs of it at present.
So it's reasonably safe to assume that
the governor will succeed himself by
satisfactory majority.
