Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1926-04-30
To The Voters OF Montgomery
County.

we believe that she is interested in doing
as much harm as possible to the candidacy
of Governor Albert C. Richie for re-elec-
ton as Governor of Maryland. and that
she is particularly interested in opposing
various individuals among the Democratic
officials and party workers. both men and
women, in Montgomery county who do not
follow her political dictation to the last
letter. We further believe that her effort
to organize the United Law Enforcement
Clubs of Maryland is more for the purpose
of attacking Governor Richie and his
friends throughout the State than for any
other reason. We call the attention Of the
voters of the county to the fact that while
Mrs. Nicholson has been active as Demo-
cratic leader and in Democratic Women's
Clubs for a number Of years past. she had
never taken any position for law enforce
ment or advocated any other public reform
that we know of before the recent dssen-
sion in the Democratic women's Clubs or
before she failed of election both as Demo-
cratic National Committeewoman from
Maryland and as Chairman Of the Demo-
cratic Congressional Committee Of Mary
land.
We further feel that Governor Albert c.
Richie has given Maryland two most ex-
cellent administrations Of the State gov
eminent. on account of which he is entitled
to denomination and reelection, and we
deeply resent the attacks which are being
made upon him for his consistent support Of
local self government by Mrs. Nicholson in
her present campaign for increased law
enforcement, and more particularly so
because the only Democratic candidate
against Governor Richie in the primaries
has already come out as a wet. and the
only Republican candidate for Governor
has also come out as wet.
We believe that Governor Ritchie's doc
trine of State Rights and Local Self-Gov-
eminent will always allow the people Of
Montgomery county to have the kind OF
law enforcement and government generally
that they desire, and we feel that 1t is the
safest theory of government for the pro-
lection of the best interests Of our people.
We do not feel that we are the guardians
of the people Of other counties or Of Balti-
more City, and since we have little need
of increased law enforcement here in
Montgomery county, we feel that Mrs.
Nicholson's present campaign 10 entirely
uncalled for. We only regard Mrs. Nichol-
sons present efforts to organize en-
forcement clubs as an attempt on her part.
working with Mr.. George H. Lamar, to take
complete charge Of Montgomery county
Democratic politics.
We state to the people Of Montgomery
county that we, as individuals. intend to
participate in the Democratic primaries
next September. through which the can
didates on the Democratic ticket for the
general election will be elected. and we
assure tht Democrats Of the county that
as individuals and as members Of the
Women's Democratic Clubs. we will sup
port the nominees of the Democratic pri-
mary election.
We ask Mrs. Nicholson to state whether
or not she and her followers intend to par
ticipate in the Democratic primaries. and
if so. do they intend to support the nomi
nees of the Democratic primaries in the
general electionH
