President and members of the Convention,
I hope you will accord your usual warm
welcome to two lovely ladies, wives of our
distinguished delegates, Judge Hodge
Smith and DeSales Mudd. Both of these
ladies have attended the Convention ses-
sions so often that I am sure that they
know as much about what has transpired
as we do ourselves.
Also, I would like to take this oppor-
tunity to welcome to the gallery a very
awesome visitor and one of my distin-
guished and gracious opponents, Mrs.
Marian Satterthwaite who is very active
in the League of Women Voters and about
whom I can say no other person was more
desirous of having a Constitution Conven-
tion.
THE PRESIDENT: Delegate Willis.
DELEGATE WILLIS: Mr. President
and members of the Convention, in the
balcony in front of the Chamber are two
guests of Delegate Carson, very important
guests, his son, Warren, and his daughter,
June. I would appreciate your joining us
in welcoming them.
(Applause.)
THE PRESIDENT: Delegate Bam-
berger.
DELEGATE BAMBERGER: Today
may go clown in history from this day
forward as a day of considerable note, the
day on which this Convention passed on
third reading the new constitution of the
State of Maryland.
But this day has gone on in the State
of Maryland as a day of some considerable
significance for twenty years. It is the
birthday of Delegate Lord.
(Applause.)
THE PRESIDENT: Delegate Fornos.
DELEGATE FORNOS: I would like to
welcome all the people who have not been

son and Mr. B. K. Roberson, and Mr. Lou
Granger.
THE PRESIDENT: Delegate Hutchin-
son.
