An analysis Of the vote in Baltimore City and
the State shows conclusively that disunion IN
the Republican party and the race issue were
mainly responsible for their defeat. Democratic
agitation of the race question changed at least
four thousand votes. singular coincidence IN
connection with the election is that OF Leo
Knott a lawyer, who was elected TO the Legs
lature from the same district which returned
him thirty-t three years ago. when the Democrats
then wrested control OF the State from the Re-
pubcans. The failure Of Senator McComas to
carry even his own county, which Is usually Re
publican, and the fact that since the enforced
retirement of Wellington he has been the recog-
nized leader of his party. make the reverse a
bitter blow TO him. 1t will now he n battle royal
