DenOunce Governor Richie And
Efforts To Secure Fourth Term
As Chief Executive of State
BASIS OF ACTION

PLATFORM BASIS OF ACTION
Prohibition in Maryland be-
came more of an issue in the
State campaign than ever Tues
day with the United Democratic
Women Enforcement League
Of Maryland urging the election
as governor of Mayor William
F. Broening, Republican nomi-
nee, and the State Anti-Saloon
League sending out letters fav-
oring the Republican ticket.
The Anti-Saloon League letter
to voters does not actually men,
ton the name of Broening, who is
running on a platform favoring law
enforcement, in contrast to the un-
qualifedly wet Democratic plank, but
the inference is drawn by most read
ers was that he was favored over
Governor Albert C. Richie, seeking
a fourth term.
eve do not think you need any in
formation from US regarding the gov
ernorship, as you, no doubt, know
the standing of both men in private
and public life," says the Anto-Sa-
loon letter, signed by George W.
Crabbe, State Superintendent.
Support Broening
There is no question about the en-
dorsement of the dry Democratic wo-
men, holding a semi-annual meeting
in Baltimore. In resolution approx
ing the Republican standard bearer,
they also voted their support to Bish-
op James Cannon, Jr., in his present
Methodist Church fight, and to Rep
resentative T. Alan Goldsborough,
seeking reelection to Congress from
the First District of Maryland as q
Democrat.
Presiding was Mrs. Jesse w. Nich-
olson, of Chevy Chase, head of the
National Women's Democratic Law
Enforcement League. About hum
dred women drys from various Sec
lions attended. Mrs. Nicholson, long
prominent in State dry prohibition
counsels, threatened to run for Gov
ernor this year as dry Independent
candidate.
For attorney general, David A.
Robb; for clerk of the Court of APP
peals, Charles S. Warner; for Comp
troller, W. Newton Jackson; for Con-
gress, Second District, Linwood L.
Clark; and from the Fourth District
w. o. Atwood. All are Republicans.
The resolutions endorsing the Re-
publican nominee for Governor read:
Because the Republican party in
Maryland has gone on record for law
enforcement and has a strong dry
plank in it's platform, and its candi-
date for Governor, Mayor Broening,
promises he will stand firmly on his
party's platform, regardless of his
position in the past.
Sand because our own party, the
Democratic party in Maryland, has
gone on record for repeal of the Eigh-
teenth Amendment to the Constitu-
ton, and our candidate for Governor,
Albert C. Richie, is running on
dripping wet platform, for a fourth
term in violation of our bill of rights.
Will Fight Richie
"Be it resolved, That the United
Democratic Women's Law Enforce
ment Clubs, by their delegates in
convention assembled, pledge their
united support to Mayor Broening and
work for his election, using every
means at our command to defeat Gov
ernor Richie and his mad ambition
to succeed himself for a fourth term
in violation of our State Constitu-
ton"
Denounce Governor
Black and yellow cards which were
handed out to the delegates were even
stronger in their denunciation of Gov
ernor Richie. They read:
"The Free State of Maryland.
Maryland the free state for a per-
petual Governor; for the nullication
of National and State laws; for Phila-
delphia to grab and enjoy Maryland's
water power; for bootleggers; for
race touts; for denizens of the under
world; for graft from good roads,
bootleggers, race track bookmakers
and lottery. Maryland, Oh, My
Maryland"
