Urges Sound Government
GAS your nominee for the highest
Office within the gift of the people of
our State, say to you, that the best
politics which can be played by our
Party is to give the people of Mary
land the most efficient, the most eco
nomical and the most progressive ad-
ministration in it's history. If the
Democratic Party rises to the occasion
now confronting it, by proving itself
worthy of the great trust being given
the standard bearers, then you need
have no fear for the future.
Throughout Is years of official life,
have maintained course which was
charted by consideration of what was
best for the general good and then
have worked to that end conscien-
tiously. l was convinced from the
outset that if could show a devotion
to public interest, that my every eff
fort was going to be along the lines
of decent and efficient administration,
then l would achieve that success to
which I was entitled.
O'COnOr MajOrities Mount
"The successive majorities which
the people of our City and later
throughout the State were generous
enough to give prove conclusively that
the voters are aware of what is going
on and are entirely willing to reward
those whom they know to be working
in the public interest. bring up these
instances only to urge that the Demo
cratic Party lay aside partisan and
personal considerations and strive for
the very best in government.
"Our State, sad to relate, has not
kept pace with other Commonwealth
of the country. In the functioning of
our State government many glaring
defects have been revealed; the pub
lies interests are suffering. There are
innumerable places where betterment
can be effected for the taxpayers.
"Under such conditions the Demo-
cratic Party is challenged to exert it
self to the utmost to promote the real
interest of the public and spare no
pains and shirk no exertion to fulfil
that end. l am convinced that our
Party will meet this obligation by un-
dertaking the problems of these public
tasks with sole desire to give the
people of Maryland the best admins
