Court of Appeals hears Easton shade trees case and politics
The Court of Appeals considers an appeal by Easton officials to dissolve a citizens injunction against destroying shade trees. The lower court held shade trees are a public benefit planted in streets but property of adjacent owners if on the highway. The piece notes election results and Taft’s appointment of John O. Hanna, with Ohio possibly shifting away from the GOP electoral votes in 1912.

Governor's Power Curtailed In Holdover Opinion
Attorney General Isaac Lobe Straus writes that officials appointed by the Governor with Senate consent remain in office until successors are appointed. If the Democratic Senate refuses confirmation to the incoming governor, incumbents such as Supervisors of Elections Liquor License Commissioners Police Commissioners Justices of the Peace and likely county school boards may hold over. The opinion rests on constitutional provisions and appointment terms, with broad agreement among Maryland legal minds.

Governor's veto on Senate confirmations in Maryland constitutional debates
The governor can appoint civil and military officers only with Senate consent, and hold appointments until successors are confirmed. Recess appointments are limited to the legislative session, while incumbents remain in office if the Senate fails to confirm a nomination. The discussion cites Watkins, Sappington, Ash, and Cantwell as guiding precedents, noting the unusual news for Republican politicians.
