MARYLAND MANUAL 41
of Maryland, assembled in the State House in Annapolis
on September 12, 1967 to undertake the task of drafting a
new Constitution. The formal signing of the document pre-
pared by the Convention occurred on January 10, 1968. In
spite of all the careful preparation and hard work that had
gone into drafting it, the proposed Constitution was over-
whelmingly rejected by the voters at the election held on
May 14, 1968, the vote being 367,101 against and 284,033
for ratification.
On the political scene, Maryland was suddenly thrust into
national prominence when Governor Spiro T. Agnew was
selected by the Republican Party in August 1968 to be the
running mate of presidential nominee Richard M. Nixon
and subsequently elected. Governor Agnew resigned his
office on January 7, 1969 and promptly thereafter the Gen-
eral Assembly elected Marvin Mandel, the Speaker of the
House of Delegates, to succeed him.
