PRESIDENTIAL GUN SEEN IN INAUGURAL Term Brings Him Into National Spotlight. By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. ANNAPOLIS, Md., January 15.—Al- bert C. Ritchie yesterday walked into the executive mansion to commence his fourth term as Governor of Mary- land and into the spotlight of national affairs again as a presidential possi- | bility. | Delivering an inaugural speech keyed |to & national pitch and broadcast over ia Nation-wide radio network, Gov. | Ritchie leveled a barrage of criticism | on_interference by the National Gov- | ernment_in State and private affairs | and exalted the Maryland theory that | the “least governed people are the best governed.” Remarks Applauded. ‘The Governor's attack on “Federal aggrandizement” and the national pro- hibition law brought forth repeated and prolonged applause from the throngs that jammed th: State House and crowded the lawrs and streets about the building. Although unable to see the Governor, those thousands heard the speech by means of an amplifying system installed in the corridors and entrances of the building. The address was delivered in the House of Delegates and followed the administration of the oath of office in the Senate chamber by Chief Judge Carroll L. T. Bond of the Court of Ap- peals. As the oath was administered a salute of 19 guns was fired. The ceremonies officially started at 11:45 when the Governor and his party appeared on the portico of the Execu- tive Mansion. Through lines of Na- tional Guardsmen from Baltimore, Hy- attsville and Annapolis, and hundreds of members of political clubs, the party walked slowly to the State House. Accompanying the Governor in this procesison were Senator Millard E. Tyd- ings, former Senators William Cabell Bruce and Blaire Lee, Frank A. Furst, the R'ght Rev. Edward T. Helfenstein, Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church of Maryland; Mayor William F. | Broening of Baltimore and Mayor Wal- ter E. Quenstedt of Annapolis; William S. Gordy, jr., State controller; William Preston Lane, jr., attorney general; Maj. Gen. Fred W. Sladen, commander of the 3rd Corps Area; Rear Admiral S. S. | Robison, superintendent of the Naval | Academy, and David C. Winebrenner, 3d, secretary of State. Met by Committee. ‘They were met by the Joint Commit- tee of the Legislature consisting of Sen- McIntosh, jr, and S. Scot: Beck, and Delegates Thomas D’Alesandro and Lavinia Engle. Two Bibles were used in administering the cath, one brought by Judge Bo: | and the other sent for the occasion by Mrs. Elizabeth Cavell Ritchie, mother of the Governor, who was confined to her room because of ill health, but lis- ten=d to the ceremonies on the radio. After delivering address Gov. Ritchie held an informal reception in the old Senate Chamber, shaking hands | with about 3,000 persons. It was in | that room that George Washington re- signed his commission as commander of the American Army after the Revolu~ tionary War. | This ceremony was followed shortly afterward by an unscheduled reception in the executive mansion, several thou- |sand more persons calling to felicitate the Governor. The inaugural crowd | was estimated at 8,000, and Albert J, | Almoney of Montgomery County, chief clerk of the House of Delegates for nearly 30 years, declared the throng was the largest to attend an inaugural in his experience, Many prominent party leaders from Prince Georges and Montgomery Coun- ties attended the ceremonies, including Maj. E. Brooke Lee, J. Enos Ray, M. ‘finrrg)wn Magruder and Henry L. | Morris, Record of 15 Years. If Gov. Ritchie completes the present | four-year term, he will have a record of 15 consecutive years in the executive | chair, a record not only for Maryland {but for the United States. | Aside from participation in the in- | augural exercises, the Legislature’s only | action of the day was the confirmation | by the Senate of the appointment of | David C. Winebrenner, 3d, who had | been named to succeed himself as sec- | retary of State by Gov. Ritchie. Senator Walter J. Mitchell of Charles County announced the standing Com- mittee on Executive Nominations prior to the inauguration. It consists of Senators George A. Prick of Baltimore | City, chairman; Ambrose J. Kennedy, Baltimore City; Lansdale G. Sasscer, | Prince Georges; William D. Byron, Washington; J. Alan Coad, 8t. Mary's; Ridgely P. Melvin, Anne Arundel; | Abram G. Ensor, Harford; H. W. Mc- ;ggm}xs, Garrett and Wallace Williams, | Cecil. Other Senate committees, as well as | those of the House, are expected to be | named when the Legislature reconvenes | next Tuesday night. e Commissioned in Reserve. Denver D. C.
