New York Times 100 years ago today, August 15, 1912:
Will Be Removed from Maryland Ticket Unless They Resign.
BALTIMORE, Md., Aug. 14.— The Executive Committee of the Republican State Central Committee adopted a resolution to-day instructing State Chairman John B. Hanna to direct a letter to the Presidential electors named by the Republican State Convention, asking them to state how they stood in the present contest. The information applies not only to the intention, so far as their vote in the electoral college is concerned, but also to their attitude in the present campaign. They are requested to answer in seven days.
In case those in favor of Roosevelt do not make known their purpose of getting off the electoral ticket in that period, Mr. Hanna is authorized to issue without further delay a call for the State convention, which will proceed to remove the Electors. Two have resigned already from the ticket.
