Tawes' ticket, we wish to re.
state our position to the voters
of Maryland.
ut is a matter OF indifference
to us how many times the
Messrs. Tawes, Hooker, ct al,
shuttle and re-shuffle their

vering by the boys in the back
room can deny our citizens a
meaningful choice in the Demo-

was formed some six weeks ago,
and in that time we have toured
a good many sections of Mary
land as team, meeting our fel.
low Marylanders on the streets,
the farms, in offices, factories
and homess. We are seeking to
learn from the people them
selves which problems are most
pressing in our State, and we
are listening to their sugges.

'grass.roots' campaign as a team
until victory is ours in the pri-

administration standard is one
more symbol of the bankruptcy
of the administrations leader.

Complaints Minor
Asked what complaints had

Admiral Ingersoll said they
were little minor things, but
nothing to warrant dismissing
him. Nothing you could hang
your hat on"
The admiral declined to
specify what the little minor
things" were.
He said Gen. Grant had
urged that specific charges be
made before any action was
taken on Mr.. Belts, but, he
added, this was not done.
This was a most rude action
to Gen. Grant, the admiral
said. Under the circumstances,
Gen. Grant had no alternative
except to resign"

The admiral declined to

cause II do not approve of
the way certain members of
the commission treated Gen.
Grant"
Admiral Ingersoll said Gen.
Grant had proposed that any
complaints about Mr.. Belts be
referred to the Executive Com
mittee so it could consider them
and make a recommendation
to the commission.
Slap at Grant Seen
However, the admiral stated,
this was not done. A majority
of the commission decided to
act Immediately, he said.
This was a slap at Gen.
Grant" he said. The admiral
added that he considered the
manner in which the commits
