...members of their sex to be nominated for statewide offices in Maryland. The Republican gubernatorial race was won by State Senator Louise Gore, 49, a throaty-voiced doyenne of Washington and Maryland society and a cousin of Tennessee's former Senator Albert Gore. She defeated Congressman Lawrence J. Hogan. A member of the House Judiciary Committee, Hogan, 45, gained national attention when he went on television to call for Richard Nixon's impeachment before the final hearings began. "Unfortunately," said Hogan when the tally was completed, "there were not enough Republicans who could forgive me that vote...

It charged Nixon with deliberately disobeying lawful subpoenas from the Judiciary Committee for White House tape recordings and documents. Only two Republicans (McClory and Hogan) supported this article and only two Democrats (Mann and Alabama's Walter Flowers) opposed it.

MARYLAND'S LAWRENCE HOGAN, as the only Republican to vote aye on all three accepted articles of impeachment, drew more heat from his constituents than anybody else on the Judiciary Committee. His mail, which at one point ran almost ten times the normal flow, was often angry and bitter. Constituents called him "Brutus," "Judas" and "Benedict Arnold"; representatives of 100 American Legion posts said they were afraid he would come out next in favor of amnesty for draft evaders and deserters (Hogan is an outspoken opponent of amnesty); there were even three telephoned threats on his life...
