Democrats Nominate and Adopt Platform in Maryland State Convention
The Democratic State Convention meets in Baltimore's Auditorium theatre and adjourns after nominating Governor Albert C. Ritchie for another term and adopting a platform. The ticket includes William Gordy for Comptroller and Thomas H. Robson for Attorney General, with J. Enos Ray elected chair of the State Central Committee. The party delegates, led by Emerson G. Harrington, pledge continued support for state rights and a renewed four year term for the administration amid some doctrinal divisions on the Volstead Act.
