GEN. DOUGLAS MACARTHUR made good on his promise to return to the Philippines 34 years ago this October. To
mark the occasion, Brig. Gen. Robert A. Sullivan recently presented Philippine Foreign Minister Carlos P Romulo
with replicas of more than 34 of MacArthur's military decorations as the widow of the five-star general looked on.
Romulo served on MacArthur's staff and waded ashore with him at Leyte. The replicas of MacArthur's medals will
ge on permanent display at the Manila Hotel, where Gen. and Mrs. Mac Arthur lived before the Japanese invasion.
For Hughes, as it happens, is almost certain to be the
next governor of Maryland — a development hardly
Harry R Hughes of Maryland may well be the
archetypical candidate of the 1978 elections - the fellow
who came out of nowhere to beat the smart-money, the
soothsayers and the big-name favorites to win nomination
to statewide office
As was true in other states where upsets occurred,
Hughes won because of purely local factors, not because of
some sweeping national trend That is why it has been so
hard to draw any message from the 1978 primaries, or to
fathom their significance for next month's general
elections.
In Maryland, what counted this year was corruption The
state's last two governors, Spiro T. Agnew and Marvin
Mandel, wound up as convicted felons, and Marylanders
were weary of scandal, of shame. They were looking for a
clean break with the past.
Acting Gov. Blair Lee III, the wealthy patrician who had
been favored to win the gubernatorial nomination, had
.never been touched by the scandal which eventually
swallowed Mandel But he served two terms as Mandel’s
lieutenant governor, and that, it seems, was association
enough.
The only challenger expected to give Lee a real fight was
Baltimore County executive Ted Venetoulis, who tried to
use the corruption issue as his ticket to the state house. But
Venetoulis came across to the voters as overly ambitious,
excessively slick, more than a little shrill
It did not help that Venetoulis was a Greek-American
occupying the same job — Baltimore County executive —
that Agnew held before becoming governor in 1966 It did
not help, either, that the Democrat who succeeded Agnew
in the county post wound up — like him — a convicted
felon. Venetoulis ran a clean shop, but it did not help.
Harry Hughes — quiet, unassuming, thoughtful — had
none of the personality drawbacks of Lee, whose acerbic
humor irritated many, or Venetoulis, whose shrillness
made enemies. But more importantly, Hughes was the
only candidate who had actually done something on the
corruption issue.
A former state senator who served six years in Mandel’s
cabinet as secretary of transportation, Hughes quit his
well-paid state job in protest a year ago when he felt
Mandel was improperly seeking to influence the award of a
huge Baltimore subway contract.
Early in the primary, one Baltimore machine politician
contemptuously dismissed Hughes as a “lost ball in the tall
grass.” But Hughes found himself a terrific lawnmower.
Three weeks before the election, the Baltimore Sunpapers
endorsed him and insisted he should be taken seriously.
They repeated the endorsement over and over, and the
voters listened.
Ordinarily, the Republicans might have a good shot at
the governorship this year, given the sour aftertaste of the
Mandel conviction. Their candidate, former U.S. Sen. J.
Glenn Beall Jr., is well known and well liked.
But Maryland is a heavly Democratic state, and Hughes
has given Democrats something to cheer about again.
Even those who had never heard of him before Sept. 12
rejoiced in his victory. Sentiment still counts for something
in politics, especially in a state so weary of cynicism. And
Harry Hughes, underdog, is everybody’s sentimental
favorite now.
