bridge, Jr., Rep.
Fifth District-Sidney Z. Mudd,
Rep.
Sixth District Louis Z. McComas,
Rep.
Instead of losing the Sixth district,
as had been so confidently predicted
by the Democrats, the Republicans
not only carry the district, by an in
creased majority, but add to it the
Fourth and Fifth districts, hereto
fore looked upon as solidly Demo
cratic. With the single exception of
Queen Anne's, every county in the
state, as we'll as the city of Balti-
more, shows great Republican gains.
The most surprising result of this
memorable contest is the election of
Sidney L. Mudd in the Fifth, to sue
coed Barnes Compton.
In the Sixth district Mr.. McComas
has fairly walked away from his
competitor, winning by the hand
some plurality of 1,646. Every coun.
ty in the district excepting Mont.
gomery gave him a good majority.
Cleveland's plurality in the State
is 1891, loss of 1927 as compared
with the vote of 1884. His majority
was only 1887
The Prohibition vote showed up
well, especially in the city and Balti.

ed Sc in the Fifth and 300 in the
Second. The other gains came from
the city of Baltimore.
