4 MARYLAND MANUAL.

GOVERNOR'S MILITARY STAFF.

Governor Ritchie has determined not to appoint a military staff as
provided for in Article 65 of the Annotated Code. He gave out the
following explanation of his decision on the subject:

"On the few occasions upon which, as Governor of the State, I
may need military aides, I have, after much consideration, decided to
liave them assigned to me from those members of the National Guard
who participated in the war, rather than appoint the customary honor-
ary staff.

"The staff, as it has been consituted in former years, would now
receive, under the national defense act, no recognition at all from the
Federal Government or the General Staff, and the desire of the War
Department and the modern tendency in other States are both in favor
of assigning to the Governor, as his personal aides, officers of appro-
priate rank from the National Guard or from a veteran organization
of the war, as is done in the case of the President. For instance) this
is now required by law in New York, Florida, Montana, Utah, Ver-
mont, Washington and other States.

"Not only is this the logical and clearly proper thing to do from
a military point of view, but it seems to me particularly appropriate
at this time that military honors should go to those who won military
fame in the war and who are now serving their State as members of
the National Guard."
