George NJ. Smith. Democrat, made a dis
appointing running. and the returns from
some Of the county precincts indicate
that the Democratic workers apparently
laid s1own. The labor campaign appar-
emily helped Mudd.
Including the three wards Of Annapolis.
twelve Of the precincts Of the county
have been heard from. and combined they
give Mudd a total plurality Of Loss. With
the returns OF the four missing precincts
it is estimated that AIudd will carry the
county by close TO 200. Mudd not only
ran strong in Republican precincts, but
he also broke into Democratic strong
holds.
Notably was this the case in the Fourth
district. from which the returns indicate
that Mudd got plUralities OF II and in
the two precincts there. The only pre-
cinct OF the thirteen heard from. car
RED by Smith, was Harmans, of the
Fifth district. where he received a plu-
rality Of 42. Two years ago Mudd carried
this county by $50 so the extent Of his
victory this time may be readily seen.
