MARYLAND Backs Richie

Governor Richie, Maryland's "favorite son. has
been pledged the democratic delegation Of that state.
The fact that he is dripping Wet and frankly says
So. does not lessen the esteem in which he is held IN
his own state, where he is given most Of the credit
Tor the enlightenment and progressive administration
of public affairs.
Governor Richie entertsins No dslusions az 70 what
will happen at the Houston convention. His ma nc
will be submitted as Msryland's offering for the presi-
dency. but after the first vote will probably not again
he heard on the floor of the convention. Maryland viii
have made her gesture. her "fsvorite son" will nave
been duly honored, and her delegation will get inc
line for the band wagon"
The Maryland delegation will he ultra-wet. r. tho
Texas delegation will be ultra-dry. But the Mary
landers do not propose to make their "~wetness' an
ISSUE in the national convention. They will not he
enthusiastic over any dry" plnak that may be sub
mitted, but they have announced that II n "dry" plank
is decreed By the majority they will abide by the de-
cision. While few Texans will concur IN the views
expressed By the Marylanders they cannot fail to al

the majority" and not cndeavor 70 impose the will Of
the minority upon the party.
Those Texans who are talking Of a bolt from the
rarity IN the event any candidate other than an avowed
example Of the Maryland delegation. So far a. thu
question that the democratic party will vigorously
oppose notification or laxity Of enforcement. Cover
nor Richie and his Maryland delegation will be hone.

mocracy by accepting the mandate Of the majority.

"while the failure Of the South to develop as rap
