nor, that the Maryland controller
had filed for the Democratic guber-
material nomination because he was
told to do so by Baltimore politi-
clan.
Representative Baldwin's state
ment is entirely incorrect" Mr..
Tawes said. Il did not tell him any
thing of the kind. What I did tell
him was that I had made up my
mind to run for governor if I could
get sufficient encouragement and
support-and what he came to see
me about was to ask me not to run
for governor"
Mr. Baldwin, in a speech at An

Mr.. Tawes that he (Mr. Tawes)

Tawes previously had shown him
