Face to Face With Albert C. Ritchie Governor of “Maryland. My Maryland" (By Jo® Mitchell Chapple) Many women at the Democratic National Convention pointed to the pictures of Governor Ritchie ami chorused: ’’There's the handsomest 'favorite son’ candidate on the list.” This did not turn the head of the Governor of ’Maryland My Maryland.’ It is a distinction to have been vot«d upon as a candidate for president of the United States. More people read ami heard about the candidates In 1924 than ever before, for the roll call was radioed. It did not matter whether it was the refrain ‘‘Alabama casts 24 votes for Underwood," first on the list of “Maryland casts 16 votes for Albert C. Ritchie.”—midways—the reiteration had its effect. Governor Ritchie of Maryland had his state solidly behind him instructed by the Democratic State Convention to stick to the finish insisting that they were offering presidential timber that would build a Victory bridge. As Assistant General Counsel to the Public Service Commission Albi rt C. Ritchie made his first impression as an efficient public servant. Later he retired to become professor of Law at the University of Maryland, and in 1922 served as president of the Maryland Bar Association. Again his friends called upon him to take public office, and he was announced, us candidate for Governor, resting on his records as Attorney General. During these years he worked out all the special legislation made necessary by the war. Nominated for governor, the first timi without opposition, and renominated in the same way indicates the popularity of the first governor of Maryland re-elected for a . second term. Governor Ritchie was born in Richmond, Virginia, in 1876, and graduated from Johns Hopkins University, The University of Maryland and St. John’s College.

Results are accomplished by eliminating useless strife and friction.” ——————————— some man. His friends realize there | is likely to be another Democratic Convention in four years. “It has always seemed to me that , one accomplishes greater results it eliminating useless friction or strife,’ said the Governor musingly. “Then is not much difference between peo pie. if one can eliminate temper. Dis ferences are usually adjusted by get ting together on propositions first and to this most dll will agree. Gov eminent is a matter of business Searchlights and spotlights are grow ing stronger and people are insisting upon the elimination of graft—gettinr honest service in return for ever? | dollar of their money spent—repre sented by hard-earned tax money ” The Governor was a speaker at th« National L«a|fue of Women Voters' Convention at Buffalo. His persona appearance may have had much to d< with his popularity, but Governoi Ritchie was quick on the bet in re sponse to compliments. With trw southern chivalry and gallantly hi complimented the ladies in away no to be forgotten. “I consider this Convention of on< thousand women thi» best organized the most intelligent gathering ot voters I have ever addressed.” Thera was no loud cheers, but th< Governor made an impression.

There is nothing in the word op God about them. If God has designed that His intelligent creatures should travel at the frightful speed of fifteen miles an hour by steam He would have clearly fore- ! told it through His holy prophets. It is a device of Satan to lead immortal souls down to heli. “It has always been our observation that persons who represent thev have, complete understanding of the intention* rtf Providence delude themselves most of all.” i
