Ritchie was requested to become a can- didate for President in a resolution adopted by the City Council last night. Approval of the measure—similar to one adopted by the State Legislaturs March 5—came after considerable de- bate. The vote was 9 to 6, with 1 Re- publican supporting the proposal. A Republican member of the Council and now a candidate for mayor called the resolution “child’s play” and an- other member of the party said he thought it would “hurt Gov. Ritchie by giving the world the impression that the people of Baltimore. through the City Council, were divided on the ques- tion of his election to the presidency.” A proposal substituting “a son of Maryland” for the Governor's ‘name failed to receive approval. A Democrat, supgrun( the resolu- tion, said it would “be very gracious on the part of the Republicans to'go along with a sweet little gesture,” adding, as he turned to the Republican member- ship, “you would make yourselves much ‘men.” The resolution was offered without the Governor’s knowledge. ‘The Council is composed of 18 mem- bers, Ten are Democrats. —i.
