By H. c. Byrd


My candidacy for Governor is
based on the recognition Of two
unpleasant, but undeniable,
facts:
l. That over the last year or
two a large proportion of Mary
landers have experienced reduced
incomes and. in many cases, un-
employment.
2. That, during the last four
years of Republican rule, the
cost of State governmental serv-
ices has risen by more than so
per cent.
1t is my aim, on the one hand.
to attract new industries, pro-
vide more job opportunities. pro-
mote expanded markets for our
agriculture and seafood indus
try.
On the other hand, I will
tighten the tax burden on our
citizens and provide more ade-
quate governmental services at
the lowest possible cost by halt
ing the aimless drifting, the
waste, extravaganza and favori-
tism which have characterized
the present Republican regime.
The people of Maryland have
always found the Democratic
Party the most effective instru-
ment for good government for
all the people. They will vote
Democratic on Tuesday.

Home Rule, Salaries
Top Maryland LIST
OF 9 Amendments

Maryland residents Tuesday
will vote on nine proposed
amendments to the State Con-
stitution including one to grant
more home rule to municipal
tiles.
Montgomery County residents
also will vote on two proposed
changes in the County Charter,
both affecting salaries.
The home rule amendment
would give municipalities the
power to amend their charters
on matters relating to incorpora-
ton, organization and govern
ment of their areas.
Sets Class Grouping.
The Legislature would be re-
quired to establish not more
than four classes of towns and
pass laws for municipalities only
by class.
The General Assembly would
retain authority to establish new
taxes and set maximum tax
rates and no town could repeal
or evade State lews, particu-
larly Sunday Blue Laws or liquor
laws.
Another referendum would in
crease the Governors annual
salary from $4,5o0-lowest in
the Nation--to SIS, 900. about
average.
Extends Absentee Ballot.
One question, if approved by
the voters would authorize the
State Legislature to extend the
franchise to absentee civilian
residents.
Maryland is one of six States
which do not permit absentee
voting by civilian residents.
Three of the referendum ques-
tions involve creation of new
circuit court judgeships
CnrOugnOuC the state.
Adds More Judges.
One Statewide measure would
create iudgeships in st. Marys
and Garrett Counties, add q
third judge in Montgomery and
Baltimore Counties and a second
in Prince Georges and Anne
Arundel Counties.
The other two separately pro-
vide for third judges in Mont
gomery and Baltimore Counties
regardless of the outcome of the
Statewide judicial bill.
The three others propose that:
/. The salary of the secretary
Of State be fixed by the Legisla-
ture and an obsolete requirement
that he lives in Annapolis be
removed. The secretary's salary
now is set at $4,000 by the con-
Stitution.
2. The salary of the sheriff of

The two Montgomery Charter
amendments provide that:
l. The $4,000 limitation on

removed and the salary be estab-
lished by the council.
2. The present $40 a meeting
