 "Where is the leadership that should have acted to prevent the catastrophe and which, when 1t was upon US, should have been alert to mobilize the resources of the nation to meet the crisis and decrease it's harmful effects?"
 Ritchie believes that new lead- ership is needed in Washington ana that he is the man for the job.
 Moreover, he believes that as a result of the present crisis, high ly centralized and regulatory fed- eral government has reached its high-water mark and that the na- tion is ready for the Jeffersonian principles that he has espoused In his 12 years as Maryland's gover- nor.
 "Here in Maryland" he said when he was being inaugurated for the fourth time, I've believe that the government should mind it's own business. We believe that the people who are least governed are best governed. :,
 We are for toleration in all things and to all people; ordered liberty for the individual and the right to follow his own pursuits and to secure his own happiness in his own way, so long as he does not interfere with the rights of others or the recognized sanctions of society"
 There stands "Ritchie of the Free State" The convention at Chicago will decide whether he will be the party's standard bearer in 1932-or a four-time loser in the race for the democratic nomina- tion.

Every veteran who has joined. or becomes a member of the Amer lean Legion for 1892, and whose card and dues are of record with the national organization by July 10, will receive without charge a 32-page magazine-size booklet. written in plain language, describ- ing al federal and state laws per taining to World war veterans.
 This announcement was made by Robert r. Birt, post commander Of the legion here, following advice received from national headquar- ters in Indianapolis. Ind.
 Not only will there be a full description of all such laws, in words that any person will be able to understand. but all confusing technicalities, and most of the le- gal references, such as 202-1O' Will be eliminated.
 One of the most important fea- lures of the booklet will be sugges- tions as to how claims may be started and followed through. Off, ten. according to legion officials. an ex-service man knows in his own heart that he has a just claim for compensation, and that the gov ernment is willing and eager to do the right thing, but too often lack of information as to the proper method of procedure prevents the case receiving the attention 1t re- serves. He gets a copy of the law and doesn't understand it. Perhaps he has written few letters, when first he should have obtained an
 f T xlk AaL AsAta rSf his discharge papers, or included a statement from his physician.
 So far as national headquarters of the American Legion has been able to discover, there is no such consolidated material in existence as will be contained in this book let, and certainly there is none available without charge.
 The booklet will be available only to those who are members of and besides of being of great value will be sure guide to this veterans who are requested from time to time to aid others with their claims. United States. the merchants and otHCt phoiAS LII va are often requested for advice by ex-service men, and the possession of this booklet will undoubtedly be the center of such gatherings in many places following issuance.
 Distribution of the boklet will be made with the August issue of The American Legion Monthly as a supplement of that publication. which goes each month to every member of the organization whose membership card and dues have been received. This means that the monthly cards from all new mem- bers wishing to get this supplement must be cleared through posts and actually in The American Legion Monthly offices on July 10. This point should be clear tc prospective members by all posts as there can be no extensions be.

 Annapolis. Md, May 31-Histor- ians may assert that the issue or states rights was buried at Ap- pomattox in 1865, but Governor Albert C. Ritchie. whose forefath- CTS fought and died for the Con federacy. Is carrying that issue straight into the 1892 presidential campaign.
 Maryiand's candidate for she democratic nomination is no blind 'chauvlnlst, fighting for lost cause He. merely seeks to apply the doe trines of Thomas Jefferson to the problems of today. He views the increasing centraiization of govern inent at Washington and the spread of sumptuary laws as menace to the guaranteed liberties of Ameri- can citizens and an undue inter- ference with business.
 Today. as in 1924 and 1923. he is seeking the democfatic nomina- ton on a pledge to end this and restore a larger measure Of self government to the states. He also attacks the Hoover administration for alleged inefficiency In coping with the depression. governmental ] cxtrayagance and governmental mismanagement.
 Here Is where he stands on some of fhe big issues of 1892: TrOlsibitiOn-He would repeal the
 18th amendment and return con-
 trol to the states where, he has
 insisted since 1919. 1t always
 has belonged.
 Public UtiIitics-He is opposed to
 federal or state ownership. 1n-
 sisting that government should

Prosecution Takes First
Tilt in Curtis Hoax Trial
Defense Motion to Rule Out One
OF Attorneys is Denied
by Judge

Pennington. N. j., June 27.-(P-
The prosecution won the first engage
ment in the trial of John H. Curtis
alleged Lindbergh case hoaxer, which
opened Monday. A motion by the
defense for removal of one Of the
prosecutions attorneys was denied by
Judge Adam o. Robbins.
AS soon as court convened the de-
tense applied for removal of Harry
Stout, special assistant prosecutor, on
the ground that when he was being
considered as defense lawyer he
learned secrets of the defense strategy
He was not employed by the defense
and later was selected to help with
the prosecution.
Col. Charles A. Lindbergh watched
from nearby table as the trial op-
ened.
A motion for quashing the indict-
ment was presented by w. c. Pen.
der, Norfolk attorney. who argued the
indictment derived the defendant Of
his constitutional rights. was vague a.
to detail, and placed Curtis in double
jeopardy. This also was denied.
Curtis, at the defense table. gazec
fixedly at Col. Lindbergh, seated al
the prosecution table. during the
argument. Lindbergh kept his gaze
on the table and his face was express
sionless as several references were
made to him and his murdered child
Curtis was confident of victory al
the trial began, but the state turned
to surprise strategy in move to gel
him coming or going.
The surprise. lay in the diSclosur,
that the state is prepared to prosecute
him on the theory he may ACTUALLY
have known who the kidnapers Of Col
Charles A. Lindbergh's baby were.
Curtis has repudiated a confessio,
in which he was quoted as admitting
in substance that he had led Lind
bergh on hoax chase In pursuit o
non existent kidnapping intermedia
ries. But whether he repuidates it a
the trial or not. the state will attemp
to trap him in a dilemma, Harr.
Stout, special assistant prosecutor
has disclosed.
Stout said If the Norfolk shipbuilde
maintained he believed he had estab
lished authentic contacts with tn,
kidnapers, he will face charge Of oh
structing justice with his hoax con
fession. If he denies he had contact
with the kidnapers and stands by hi
confession. he will face charge o
obstructing justice by conducting tn
