Governor Albert C. Ritchie
Villard, Oswald Garrison | February 1, 1928 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents a discussion on the run-up to the U.S. presidency. Albert Cabell Ritchie is the most aristocratic, and attractive of Governors, of the Free State of Maryland, where whiskey runs as free as water, where prohibition has taken not at all; where the liberty of the individual is as secure as any place in America; where American writer, critic and editor H. L. Mencken finds, and dwells in, an earthly paradise. Governor Ritchie is plainly "to the manner born," that is, he has behind him, generations of means and education-his father was eleven years on the Supreme Bench of Maryland.
