MUDD MENTIONED AS
JUDGESHIP CANDIDATE
Rumored That Congressman
Will Enter Lists In 7th
Judicial Circuit
ELECTION THIS FALL
According to an article printed in
this morning's Maltimore American,
rumor is rife in Southern Maryland
that Congressman Sydney E. Mudd, of
the Fifth Congressional District, may
enter the lists as a candidate for one
of the Judgeships in the Seventh Ju
dicial Circuit at the election to be
held tills Fall, The American’s story
follows:
"From Southern Maryland a report
came yesterday to the effect that Rep
resentative Sydney E. Mudd of
Charles county is seriously consider
ing becoming a candidato for judge
of the Circuit Court. For some time
his cousin, John F. Mudd, formerly
State Senator, has loen mentioned
for the place, but this is the first
time it lias been suggested that the
Congressman instead of the former
State Senator might become Churles
county’s Republican candidate.
"There are three Judgeships to le
filled in Southern Maryland at the
November election. The term of Chief
Judge John P. ltriscoe of Culvert
county expired last autumn and Gov
ernor Ritchie appointed him to serve
till the next generul election. He is
too advanced in years to run for an
other 15-year term.
Three Democrats Mentioned
“Judge B. Harris Camulkr of St.
Mary’s and Judge Fillmore Beall of
Prince George's county both have
passed the constitutional age limit of
70 years and they are remaining on

LAW AND ORDER DAY
NAMED BY GOVERNOR
Governor Ritchie has designated
Sunday, January 28 nB Law and Or
der Sunday in compliance with the
request of the Law and Order Union
and various patriotic societies.
The Governor says in his proclama
tion: *
“The purpose of the request is, as
in past years, to provide a day upon
which the people shall consider the
benefits derived from our institutions
and our form of Government, to the
end that propaganda of mistrust and I
sedition, calculated to impair the
home, religious forms of worship and
the Government itself, may be off
set.
He requests that “on that day the
people of Marylund give thought to
the protection and prosperity enjoy
ed under our Constitution throughout
the land."

EDUCATION IS
i BACKBONE OF
mm.
So Declares Governor Ritchie In
Addressing Conference O f
Public Instruction Officials At
State House Today—Equal
Opportunity To All.
j DR. FITZHUGH GIVES
VIEWPOINT OF CITIZEN
Declaring that education is the
backbone of the State government,
and that it is the greatest object of
•he State government to give to every
hoy and girl equal opportunity to reach
the top in whatever pursuit they may
elect in life. Governor Ritchie de
livered an address before the annual
t conference of the State Board of Rd
j ucation. the Comity Boards of Edn
i .‘aion and county superintendents of
| education in the House of Delegates
chamber at the State House this aft -
ernoon. The Governor spoke upon the
I general theme “Public Education from
•he viewpoint of tlie State’s Execu
tive." Another address that featured
he conference was by Dr. Henry M.
Fitzhugh, president of the State
Board, whose object was “Public Ed
ucation from the Viewpoint of the
Citizen of the State.”
Governor Host At Luncheon
The meeting brought together prac
tically the full complement if edu
cation officials in the several coun
ties and Baltimore city, and was pro
nounced the most successful meeting
of the kind ever held. The party
numbered more than 100, including a
number of women now holding office
on county boards, and all were en
tertained at luncheon at the Executive
Mansion as the guests of Governor
I Ritchie and his mother, Mrs. Albert
Ritchie.
Dr. Fitzhugh presided over the
meeting and prefaced his introduction
>f the Governor with remarks in
which he referred to the great good
hat has I eon accomplished through
holding such business |ml social gath
arings of school officials since the in
uigurution of the custom a few years
igo. He referred to (he County Board
the “shock absorbers" between the
public and the professional end of
the situation.
Important Duty Of Boards
The Governor spoke of his hearty
accord in holding such conferences,
saying that they served to thrash out
differences of opinion on public school
i matters, to develop ideas, and correct
mistakes. He declared that In the
, hands of the county hoards rests the
fulfillment of the highest duty that
can he performed to the State; that
those responsible for the public school
system are charged with developing
that which is highest and loftiest in
character and public duty.
Drawing a comparison of govern
ment and business, the Governor said
that the two are separate and dis
tinct. Business, he said, deals with
the handling of money, corporate in
terests. etc., but that the function of
i State government is that o( Scaling
vith human rights as distinguished
from property rights. Our GovernX
ment, he said, is essentially Amer-* v ,
ican; the one idea being that all '
j should have an equal opportunity to
succeed In life; that the son of a
millionaire and the son of a pauper
may start out hand in hand, and that
the fellow who possesses the real grit
and sand to go ahead is the one who
will be at the top in the end. It is
the duty of the government, he de
clared, to see that human rights and
equal opportunity are equalized. He
said that the laborer working in the
coal mines, and taking all sorts of
chances in life has a job equally as
big as the executive head of a big
corporation or other official. Touch
ing upon the interests of the farmer,
the Governor said that agriculture is
the backbone of prosperity of State
and Nation; that the farming inter
ests need brains, and talent to prop
erly carry on the industry to produce
1 the best.
Dr. FitzhuirliN Address
Dr. Fitzhugh, speaking immediately
following the Governor, began his ad
dress by giving an outline of how he
1 explored in order to acquaint himself
■ with the obligations that confronted
1 him as an educational official. Fol
i lowing a rather extensive recital
- along this line, he summed up his
conclusions on education from the
> viewpoint of a citizen as follows:
Education And Capacity

, simply the effort that the state makes
’ to impress its future citizens by in-
I fluences designed to develop charao
