In Annapolis he committed himself to Maryland's primary (May 17, 24 delegate votes) and got the reluctant backing of Maryland's Governor Millard Tawes, who had really wanted to run as a favorite son himself. In Charleston he took up a challenge thrown by Minnesota's Hubert Humphrey to fight it out in West Virginia (May 10, 25 delegate votes). In Gary he dealt himself into...
