Court Of Appeals
Gives Assist To
Mahoney Struggle

George P. Mahoney got an as
sist from the Maryland Court Of
Appeals yesterday in his five
week-old fight to win the Demo-
cratic nomination for governor
from H. c. Byrd.
The court directed Circuit Judge
William P. Honey in Centreville
to hear further arguments in Ma
honey's bid to have ballots thrown
out which he hopes would give
him the combined seven unit votes
of Talbot and Queen Annes coun-
ties.
Honey previously refused to
hear the arguments, unfolding a
demurrer filed by Byrd and cleo
ton supervisors of the two coun-
ties which held the supervisors
acted within their authority. He
said in his opinion there isn't any
authority in law for the court to
compel the supervisors to with
draw and reject the alleged in
valid ballots"
The Court Of Appeals cited a
previous election suit in its brief
decision The decree was returned
after the court finished hearing
arguments.
The action raised several posi-
bilities. 1t could postpone for as
much as several weeks the nominal
ton of a candidate by the Demo-
cratic state convention, which is
waiting for the outcome of law
suits to formally name its oppo-
nent for Governor Theodore R. Nc
Keldin in November.
More importantly, it could tip
the scales of victory to Mahoney
if he won his arguments in Centre
vile to have ballots thrown out,
provided these ballots would be
enough to give him Queen Annes
three unit votes and the four in
Talbot. This would offset the 80
72 edge in unit votes held by
Byrd.
Mahoney faces an uphill fight
despite claims that this could
swing the nomination. Even if he
obtained court authority to have
ballots reviewed in the two coun-
ties he would have to have more
Byrd votes rejected in both coun-
ties than the Mahoney votes, which
Byrd attorneys have said they'll
also fight to have thrown out.
Mahoney would need both coun-

has good sense of smell; also eats
some fruits and their seeds; the
blight that destroyed the chestnut
trees in Maryland probably re-
duced the population. Does not
hibernate. Nest of leaves in tops
of trees used in hot weather.
MANAGEMENT: Can be increased
by planting nut bearing trees,
which the squirrels themselves do;
also by the erection of squirrel
houses as forestry has reduced the
number of den trees; plans for
building squirrel houses can be
obtained from the Game and In
land Fish Commission. The gray
squirrel population in Maryland
showed an increase in 1858 over
1852.
VALUE: Gray squirrels provide
sport and food to large number of
hunters; useful as a tree planter;
its presence lends interest to the
nature lover. The fur is of little
value.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1954-08-05

RANGE: From Maine to Florida,

trees; large migrations occur some
times; food primarily nuts, some

1t is generally believed that
either Governor Dewey or Senator
Ives would beat Representative
Roosevelt by a considerable mar
gin. But neither Of these men
wants the Republican nomination.
Mr. Dewey has had three terms as
Governor and wants to get back
to private life. Senator Ives has
four more years to serve in the
Senate and wants to stay there. If
neither is his opponent, young Mr..
Roosevelt's chances of becoming
Governor, and possibly President,
will improve. knowledge of these
facts lends great force to the eff
fort to draft Governor Dewey. He
will be strongly appealed to in the
name of his party and also in the
name of the country. The Eisen-
hover Administration is naturally
anxious to have him make the fight
not only because it wants to run
no risk of New York going Demo-
cratic but also because it wants to
keep Senator Ives in the Senate,
where the Republican margin is
exceedingly slender.
Neither Governor Dewey nor
Senator Ives has as yet closed the
door on the gubernatorial nominal
ton, but Governor Dewey definite
~ will have to make his decision
in a very short time. He has made
great record as Governor and,
while his two defeats for the presi-
dency make it almost impossible
for him to run a third time
Though it has been done), his con-
tlnuance as governor would seem
definitely in the general interests.
In the meantime, the propaganda
to build young Franklin up to ac-
ceptable stature has already been
started. Several magazine articles
are in the works and a ghost
writer's brigade is being formed.
Some of these will be drawn from
the ADA. publicity setup; others
from the Clio organization. With
the help he will have, Representa-
tive Roosevelt is capable of waging
a campaign we'll calculated to APP
peal to the prejudiced groups which
are supporting him. In a short
while now he will be in the ring.
The bell is about to ring. He can
be depended upon to use every
weapon in sight and not to let
facts hamper him a great deal The
stakes in this fight are great. 1t
has immense national significance
and will affect both parties in 1856.

The Bell About To Ring

With the convention only a
month or so away, the prospects
that young Franklin d. Roosevelt
Jr., will be the Democratic nomi-
nee for Governor Of New York
have steadily grown more favor
able. Informed observers now say
that he is practically a ten-to-one
bet for the nomination. There are
several reasons for this-(D he is
the only Democrat avidly cam
paigning for the nomination; (2)
he has the support of organized la
Dor, the Negro leaders, the Ameri-
cans for Democratic Action and
the Tammany bosses; CD his name
is supposed to be a big political
asset.

1t is, of course, we'll understood
that he is eager to become Presi-
dent and regards the New York
governorship as a big step toward
that goal, which it undoubtedly is.
There are many Democrats in the
State who shudder at the prospect.
These regard him as a shallow
imitation of his late father and
assert that he has inherited the
worst traits of both parents. He is
not personally popular in Congress.
He got there solely because of his
name and if he becomes his party's
for Governor that may
be enough to pull him through. His
real hope for success, however, lies
in the inability Of the Republicans
to induce their strongest man
Governor Dewey-to run for Il
fourth term.

How valuable that is remains to
be seen. Two years ago when his
brother James was nominated for
Governor in California it was his
asset, too. This was long before
the unsavory revelations of his
wife's divorce action. Yet, before
these were known, in a State with
much more than a million Demo-
cratic registrations, James was de-
feated by more than a million
votes. Now, in the States heaviest
Democratic district he has been
nominated for the House Of Repre-
sentatives and brazenly says he is
running to vindicate his fathers
name. At any rate, James Cali
fornia candidacy is not helping
Franklin's New York candidacy.
The latter's advocates publicly
try to discount it, but privately
they label it a handicap. The truth
is that this young man cannot
stand much of handicap. He has
few qualifications to be Governor
of New York and in his three
terms as a member of Congress has
