The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1930-03-06
(From The Baltimore Observer)

Democratic leaders who have been
backing Senator David. G. Mcintosh
for Governor held conferences this
week in efforts to bring order out Of
the situation, particularly with
regard to support on the Eastern
Shore.
If all goes well it is understood
that the Mcintosh ticket will include
Henry P. Turner of Talbot county for
Comptroller, Senator Edward ]. Col
gan or States Attorney Herbert R.
O'Connor of Baltimore City for At
torney General and candidate for
Clerk of the Court of Appeals to be
taken from Western Maryland with
the approval of former Comptroller
Hugh A. McMullen of Allegany.
Former Governor Harrington at
tended a conference held on Thursday
afternoon. The second conference
was attended by Mr.. Turner, Howard
Bruce, Mr.. Mcintosh, Harrison Rider,
and others who are opposed to the
Governors fourth term ambition.
Mr.. Turner and Mr.. McMullen are
said to be very close politically and
it is understood that Mr.. Turner is
very DESTROYS of obtaining the hearty
support of his old friend from Allie
gany.
The attitude of Mr.. Harrington is
said to be that his section of the
State is averse to the nomination of
wet and that Mr.. Mcintosh is just as
wet as Richie. The Ex-Governor
thinks, it is reported, that the nomi-
nee should be as dry as his former
fellow-townsman, U. S. Senator
Goldsborough, is reputed to be.
But the Democratic woods do not
provide any political timber answer
ing that description unless one has in
mind Emory L. Coblentz, who was at
one time put forward by the Richie
people as a stalking horse but who,
when support seemed possible, began
to receive knocks from these same
Richie people.
Senator Roe of Queen Annes' is ex-
pected to join with Mr.. Turner in CIV
ing support to the Mcintosh ticket
and other Eastern Shore leaders are
counted on to join the forces opposed
to the Governors denomination.
While John NJ Dennis has been ac-
tive in the Mcintosh support it is ex-
pected that his friend Frank A. Furst
d. will stick to Richie to the last even
though he may think him forlorn
hope.
What the Governor will do in the
end no one knows. He tells callers
that he will run but will await his
time for an announcement. On the
other side the Mcintosh people say
they will present such formidable
line up within the next week or so
that the Governor will fade out of the
picture.
The Republican
State Situation
Broening stock went up bit this
week due to the confident talk of
the Mayors appointees. They have
been saying that enough county sup
port has been promised to make the
nomination of His Honor certainty
when added to the solid vote of Balti-
more City. 1t is held that as soon as
the Mayor gets his City Hall chair
warm again he will make an an
nouncement of his further ambition.
But friends of David A Robb of
Allegany stick to the belief that he
will go in and make a contest. He is
said to be of that turn of mind just
now but there is no law against one
changing ones mind in politics.
Mr.. Robb has been visiting the city
from time to time and has his scouts
in the counties who are sounding pub
lie sentiment. But it is said that Mr..
Robb, like Mr.. Broening, still hopes to
get the nomination as the result of
a conference of State leaders rather
than as the outcome of a hard pri-
mary contest.
AS for Albert G. Towers, the latest
report is that he is not even DESTROYS
that it be brought to him. But he has
made no public statement.
