126 ADDRESSES AND STATE PAPERS

Q. Baltimore County's State Central Committee.

A. I'm not familiar with the fact that we're without a member of
that board yet. Are we? I thought that board was filled out.

Q. The Supervisors.

A. Oh, you mean the Supervisors. No, we weren't talking about that.
We were talking about the Liquor Board. Yes, they have come up
with another list and it will be my intention to appoint their pre-
ferred individual who will be the first person on their list. I believe
that it's not the function of the Governor to decide for the minority
party, in this instance the Democrats, on these appointments, whom

domicile in the state from which they are elected, which, of course,
would follow because they wouldn't be eligible to run if they were
residents of another state. But I think it should be spelled out defi-
nitely.

Q. Well, pending enactment of a law, which is apparently too late
for this session, what should he do in the meantime?

A. I think he ought to do what he's done over the past ten to fifteen
years. They haven't been collecting them.

Q. What if they — the State — caught up with them?

A. Well, it's pretty hard to collect from some and not from the rest,
and, I think, pending the termination of this matter, certainly we
ought not attempt to collect anything else.

Q. Governor, let me follow up that question without wishing to be
