O'COnOr Administration
All signs point to an overwhelming
victory for Governor O'Conor and his
running mates, Comptroller Tawes
and Attorney General Walsh, accord
ing to Statewide leaders.
u. S. Senator Willard F. Tydings at
a meeting in Salisbury said that "one
way to help the national administra-
ton in the war effort is to elect Gov
ernor O'Conor and Attorney General
Walsh and Comptroller Tawes. There
should be no break in the continued
support the Maryland governor is
giving the national administration.
"When you consider Governor
O'Conor's experience and his record
in public Office and compare it with his
opponents lack Of experience and no
record in elective Office you have only
one choice, the reelection of Governor
O'Conor and the entire Democratic
ticket"
Urges Veterans Support
Senator Tydings, who entered World
War as an enlisted man and was adj
vanced step by step until he became
Lieutenant Colonel, reminded his audi
ence that Governor O'Conor and At
torney General Walsh were both
veterans of the first World War and
members of the American Legion.
U. S. Senator Radcliffe in radio ad-
dress asked the voters to elect the
Democratic ticket asserting that there
would be closer cooperation with our
Commander in Chief, President Roose-
welt. The Senator said.
"There should be no divided re-
sponsibility. Our State Government
and our delegation to Congress should
be Democratic, especially now. Gov
ernor O'Conor, Comptroller Tawes and
Attorney General Walsh have been
alert, ready and helpful in the war
effort. We need to retain in office men
Of ability and energy who will work
vigorously in the furtherance Of the
war program"
Mayor Jackson Endorses
Mayor Howard w. Jackson, Of Bal
timore, in a statewide radio broad
cast, urged the election of Governor
O'Conor and the statewide ticket.
"Governor O'Conor comes before
the voters with the approval of every
element of the Democratic party of
Maryland" Mayor Jackson said. 81
believe the best interests of the peo-
pie would be injured by any change in
the State Administration at this time
"Our State needs, in this period of
emergency" Mayor Jackson contin-
ued,y "the benefit of the experience of
Governor O'Conor and his Department
heads. A change means untried and
inexperienced persons taking office"
The Mayor of Baltimore appealed
to the voters to vote for Governor
O'Conor, Comptroller Tawes and At
torney General Walsh and the Demo-
cratic Congressional candidates. He
also urged support for the Demo-
cratic candidates for State, County
and local offices.
The Mayor concluded his address
by saying, "These candidates deserve
your vote. I believe they will uphold
and maintain the best traditions of
our State, and that they will serve
you well in the trying times through
which we are passing. We face the
enemy in all parts of the world. Those
who risk their lives are entitled to the
best that we who are responsible for
the home front can do. We owe them
everything that we hold dear. We
must not neglect our duty to vote,
and we must see to it that we cast our
votes for those who are equipped to
render the most efficient service"
