ago when the matter of the legislative ar-
ticle was considered. I may have borrowed
the title "gentleman's club" from the
United States Senate; but far be it for me
to say the Maryland Senate is not as great
a club as the United States Senate.
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Malkus, do
vou have a further question of Delegate
Mudd?
DELEGATE MALKUS: By your re-
marks then, you indicate no sarcasm?
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Mudd:
DELEGATE MUDD: Absolutely none.
It is a compliment.
THE CHAIRMAN: Is there a further
question, Delegate Malkus?
DELEGATE MALKUS: I am very com-
plimented, sir, that he was not talking
about what I call one of the finest organi-
zations in the world in Maryland with
sarcasm.
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Mudd, do
you yield to a question from Delegate
Della?
DELEGATE MUDD: Yes. I hope it is
as easy.
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Della.
DELEGATE DELLA: I am sure it will
be easier, Delegate Mudd. Do you recall
the appointment of Honorable Homer Mar-
bury as Chief Judge of the Court of Ap-
peals?
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Mudd.
DELEGATE MUDD: In what respect?
I was a practicing lawyer at that time. I
do not remember the details.
DELEGATE DELLA: Do you not recall
his being the Chief Judge of the Court of
Appeals?
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Mudd.
DELEGATE MUDD: Absolutely.
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Della.
DELEGATE DELLA: He was appointed
and confirmed by the Senate in the State
of Maryland.
DELEGATE MUDD: I reiterate, the
gentleman's club.
DELEGATE DELLA: The gentleman's
club.
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Mudd.

DELEGATE MUDD: That was a very
fine gesture by the Maryland Senate in
ratifying and confirming a distinguished
jurist to the Court of Appeals of Mary-
land.
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Della.
DELEGATE DELLA: Delegate Mudd,
apparently you and I are not on the same
beam. I am not considering the Senate as
the gentleman's club or any other club.
I am only bringing the facts to date, that a
jurist of the highest standing was ap-
pointed by the Senate of Maryland around
1943 and not a hundred years ago.
THE CHAIRMAN: Is this another ques-
tion or just a statement?
DELEGATE DELLA: Do you recall his
being the Chief Judge?
DELEGATE MUDD: Yes, I do, but I
did not know he received his appointment
in that manner.
THE CHAIRMAN: Is there any further
discussion? Delegate Boyles.
DELEGATE BOYLES: I would like to
ask Delegate Gleason a question if I may.
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Gleason, do
you yield for a question?
DELEGATE GLEASON: I yield.
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Boyles.
DELEGATE BOYLES: Do you intend
that the Governor shall appoint one of the
five persons from the nominating list that
he has submitted to him?
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Gleason.
DELEGATE GLEASON: No. I do not
intend to have that list obligatory as far
as the governor is concerned. I do intend
it to be a part of the process, before a
judge is nominated by the governor.
THE CHAIRMAN: Is there any fur-
ther discussion? Delegate Chabot.
DELEGATE CHABOT: Will Delegate
Gleason yield for a question?
THE CHAIRMAN: Will Delegate Glea-
son yield?
DELEGATE GLEASON: I yield.
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Chabot.
DELEGATE CHABOT: Do you intend
that the last sentence of section 5.14 re-
main as it is presently stated in the Com-
mittee recommendation?
