i President appointing his brother as attorney general,
a lawyer who had never appeared in court until after he
was appointed Attorney General of the United States?
DELEGATE SICKLES: I might say to the gentleman
I expressed great displeasure when he did it, but after he
did it and I saw the job his brother did, I was very
pleased with the job.
DELEGATE WEIDEMEYER: Thank you.
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Mason.
DELEGATE MASON: I yield two minutes to
Delegate Agnes Smith.
DELEGATE A. SMITH: Mr. Chairman and Ladies
and Gentlemen of the Convention:
In my opinion, the voters of Maryland should
not have any more of their rights stricken from the Consti-
tution. In 1962, 422,135 voters voted for the successful
attorney general, 256,515 voted for the unsuccessful
attorney general.
In 1966 530,000 voted for the attorney general
and 265,000 voted against the attorney general; a total of
795,000 voters who knew what they wanted.
