O'COnOr Record
Insures Election,
Democrats Declare
Selection OF Chairman Of.
Governors Of Country
Tribute To His Ability

Emphasis will be placed on Tex
pericnce" in the whirlwind cam
paign to reflect Governor Herbert
r. O'Conor. State Democratic
leaders stated this week at the
same time pointing out the lack of
experience of the Governors OPP
ponent.
While Governor O'Conor was
three times elected States Attor-
ney of Baltimore City, each time
by increasing majorities; while he
was elected Attorney General of
Maryland by an overwhelming ma
jority of more than 100000, and in
1888 was chosen Governor by more
than $1,000 majority, his oppon-
ent's one venture into the political
field resulted in "repudiation" by
the voters of Baltimore. they point
out.
They stress this word "repudia-
ton" because it is the term used
by the Republican candidate in de-
scribing the defeat of another
candidate who sought the same
post which he sought, namely the
mayOralty of Baltimore.
Furthermore, they point out, the
Republican candidate not only was
defeated when he himself ran for
Office, but also when he tried to
pilot other Republican candidates
into Office. Under the circumstan-
ces, they say that the present cam
paign clearly resolves itself into
question of experience as
against absolute slack of exper-
icnce."
Pointing DO the recent election of
Governor o. Conor as Chairman of
the Governors Conference of the
U. S. A., as recognition of his
ability and accomplishments by the
other AZ State Governors, Demo-
cratic leaders also stressed his APP
pointment by President Roosevelt
to be member of the National
Transportation Committee named
to solve motor transportation
weight problems several months
ago.
Importance is attached by them,
too, to concentrations expressed
by Attorney General Francis Bid
die and Under-Secretary of War
Patterson, regarding Governor
O'Conor's cooperation with Fed
eral officials in the national war
effort, particularly in the field of
legislation.
Governor O'Conor, it was noted.
helped Attorney General Biddle to
organize and conduct the first joint
Federal-State conference on law
enforcement problems connected
with the war in Washington two
years ago.
The contacts with official Wash
ington enjoyed by Governor O'Con-
or, Democratic leaders say, have
been largely responsible for the
extraordinary progress of the
State in the field of war prepara-
tons. To trust the handling of the
States war problem to a man
absolutely without experience in
administration, they declare would
be just as unwise as to hand the
States fiscal management to a
man so inexperience.
