MESSAGE FROM THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE
May 31, 1983
The Honorable Benjamin L. Cardin
Speaker of the House of Delegates
State House
Annapolis, Maryland 21404
Dear Mr. Speaker:
In accordance with Article II, Section 17 of the Maryland
Constitution, I have today vetoed House Bill 1278.
Both House Bill 1278 and Senate Bill 71 serve the purpose of
altering the process for selection of delegates to national party
conventions by providing for direct election as the only method
of district delegate selection. Though the bills are consistent
in purpose they are inconsistent in the manner in which they
accomplish this purpose which would lead to difficulties in
codification if both were signed into law.
Because of the difficulties which would ensue if both bills
were signed, I have decided to veto House Bill 1278.

Sincerely,
Harry Hughes
Governor

House Bill No. 1278

Selection of Delegates to National Conventions
FOR the purpose of revising provisions for the selection of
delegates to national political party conventions for the
nomination of presidential candidates; deleting a
requirement that each political party report the total
number of delegates and alternate delegates to the State
Election Board no later than a certain date; deleting a
requirement that certain delegates to the Democratic
National Convention be bound to support certain candidates;
providing that a candidate for delegate may not be charged a
filing fee; and generally relating to delegate selection
procedures for national conventions of political parties.
BY repealing and reenacting, with amendments,
