the primary and promised me his loyal support and has
since stated both publicly and privately that he intends

didn't want Mr. Mccullough and only took him because he
persisted in pressing his claims.
So far as aware there is only clique which the
people of Garrett County need fear and that is the in
Baltimore, commonly known the Mahon-Kelly
ring machine, which is seeking dictate the control of
State The people of this and every other county of the
State of Maryland have just to fear the influence
of that clique great many voters wondering why

Why is Governor Richie anxious to have Mr. McCu-
