THE PRESIDENT: I am sure that I speak for
all the Delegates of the Convention in expressing to
Governor Agnew our very sincere thanks and appreciation
for his most informative and splendid address.
Arrangements have been made to have distributed
to each delegate a copy of the Governor's address.
The Convention will come to order, please.
I think a word of explanation as to the resig-
nation, or as to the form of the resignation of Delegate
Webster is desirable at this point. As I am sure
every Delegate knows, Delegate Webster has been very
seriously ill since August. He has been hospitalized
and his condition is very grave.
In accordance with a resolution of this Con-
vention adopted some time ago, we sent him our best
regards and wishes for a speedy recovery. It became
obvious to him, however, that his illness was prolonged
and that his absence from the Convention deprived Allegany
County of the additional fourth representative to which
they were entitled. He communicated this to his wife,
and through her to the other delegates. |
