Leaves Prohibition Out.
4 Gov. Richie, speaking at $50 at
The clubhouse, dwelt upon pohtlcal
PHILOSOPHERS concerning personal lid
erty. but did not, as he did at the
Jefferson day banquet here this
Spring. refer to the prohibition act.
Maryland has traditions that go
back nearly 800 years." Gov. Richie
declared, 'tand among the finest OF
these and those of greatest signin-
canoe are the ideals of personal lib
erty, religious freedom and popular
government. Religious liberty was
first conceived in 1884 at the time
when religious persecution was az ns
height In England. The provinces
established by the Calverts in Mary
land was built on that ideal.
Popular government was SAFE
guarded by a State charter for the
first time when the Maryland charter
was granted. So thoroughly did those
early Marylanders believe in that
ideal that the Lord Proprietary OF
Maryland was prohibited from max
ing any laws or levytng any taxes
without the consent of the governed.
Ideals Live Forces.
These two great ideals are i've
forces in Maryland today probably TO
q greater extent than in any other
state of our Union. am happy TO
saw the people Of Washington and
many other sections cling to them
also"
