In Maryland. the almost phenom-
email majority Of 10000 for Lowndes
a year ago has been duplicated and per-
haps exceeded. as with full returns from
two-thlrds OF the state and half OF the

The constitutional convention will be
Republican by small majority.

rallty in Virginia on the electoral ticket.
The Republicans allege fraud in the
Second, Third and Fourth districts,
sufficient to change the result. and will
begin contests at once before the county
and city returning boards. The fraud

voters. The Republicans say, under the
operation Of the new election law which.

have lost enough qualified voters to give
them the state.
