THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, SATURDAY, N I{GOV. RITCHIE SETS NEW RECORD By the Assoclated Press. BALTIMORE, November 7.—When Gov. Albert C. Ritchie is l'orn into office for the fourth time, on January 1, his latest four-ynr term will extend his career to record length, with sev- eral features which make it stand out ubove those of other long-time execu- tives. | One other Governor, ready to take office again, George W. P. Hunt of Ari- zona, is his closest rival in some re- ispects, while Alfred E. Smith when he was the New York executive tied an- other angle of his record. All are Dem- ocrats, t no other State Governor, records available here show, has ever been elected to serve 15 consecutive years, as | has Ritchie. Hunt's Service Interrupted. Gov. Hunt was re-elected last Tues- day for the seventh time, but his serv- ice has been interrupted twice since he took office as the first executive of the Southwestern State when it was admitted in 1912. The Arizona execu- tive at the close of his latest term will lack one monm and a half of servln' 15 Gov. !mit.h 'lu elected four times, but there was a break of two years between his first and second terms, and the New York terms were for but two years each. In his first election, in 1919, Ritchie triumphed by but 165 votes. During his first four-year term he had enacted a new eleltions law to bring about uni- | form selection of officers at one time, ! and to do so had to cut one year from his second term, to which he was elect- ed in 1923 by a majority of 40,000. In 1926 he was elected to his third term, again for four years, by a 59,000 majority, and in the voting Tuesday of FOR CONSECUTIVE VICTORIES Available Data Show He Is Only State Executive Named to Serve for 15 Years Straight. this week swept the State by more than 70,000. Took Office in 1912. Gov. Hunt was elected first in 1011, took office in 1912 and served without another election until 1915, and was again elected in 1917. He was re- elected for the term of 1923- for 1925-26 and again for 1927-20. He was out of office in 1917 for 11 months while a court contest was decided, but the court ruled he had been Governor in the interim. He now has urved 13 years, lacking a month and a half. Gov. Smith first was elected for the 1919-21 term and, after a lapse of one term, was chosen for 1923-24, 1924-26 and 1926-28, when he was nominated for the presidency on the Democratic ticket. An outspoken exponent of State's rights and, as a foe of prohibition, ad- vocating that the liquor question be re- turned to the States for their individual control, Gov. Ritchie was prominently mentioned for the Democratic presiden- tial nominations in 1924 and 1928. Support Thrown to Smith. In the latter year he held the vote of the Maryland delegation to the na- tional convention, but several weeks be- fore it met withdrew in favor of Gov. Smith and threw his support to him. Gov. Ritchie’s hold on the Maryland electorate was shown in the November 4 voting, when he carried into office with him a solid Democratic phalanx | for the National House of Representa- tives. Democrats won two seats held by Republicans and retained the other four. It was the first time since the Wilson landslide of 1912 and the sec- ond time in history the Maryland con- gressional delegation has been solidly Democratic. Parsons, Democrat; James V.

While there they were l.nfwmec that the 86 ballot boxes were stored in a corridor of the court house basement. Court Informed on Law. A delegation, composed of Paul Sles man, chairman of the Republican State Central Committee for Montgomery County; Wilson L. Townsend, Harold C. Smith, Walter Dawson and Ander- son, immediately went before Judge Robert B. Peter and called his atten- tion to the fact that the law requires that the ballots be kept under lock and key in the custody of the clerk of the court. Judge Peter called for Preston B. Ray, the clerk, who could not be lo- cated. Clayton Watkins, deputy l:lerk, then was_summoned and ordered lace the boxes in a safe place. Under atkins’ direction the ballot containers were checked carefully and stored in a strong room at the rear of the clerk’s office. , No announcement was made concern- ing the outcome.of the Republican con- ference. Mr. Sleman said, however, that no action would be taken today. The procedure which probably will be !ouowed if a recount is requested is as follows: The defeated candidate, as plaintiff, petitions the court to have the vote recounted and names the success- ful candidate as defendant.

Y, November 8.—Gov. Roosevelt considers the huge vote cast for him Tuesday a mandate from the people to continue giving his undivided attention to the governorship, and he has announced he will not have any- thing to do with any presidential boom that may be started for him. The unprecedented vote that re- elected him led to wide discussion of his availability as presidential timber, but he remained silent until Jamnes Farley, Democratic State chairman, said definite effort to nominate him for the presidency would be made within the next year. Reporters went to see the Governor ibo\ll;lr‘lrley 's statement and found him "ND\I ask me anything about 1932, and here’s the answer,” he said, tossing them what he had written. ‘The statement follows: “‘On several occasions during the past two years I have stated unequivocally that I am giving no consideration or thought or time to anything except the duties of t.he vernorship. “I repea tnwmdwbeper- fectly clelfly understood, you can add that this applies to any eandidacy, na- tional or otherwise, in 1932. “Experience shows me that I was right two years ago in believing that I should give all my energies and thoughts | to the governorship of New York and | nothing eise.
