give Ray a substantial majority. There
are two Republicans and one Democratic
wards IN the Baltimore City portion OF
the Fifth district, and, based on results
in 1866 and 1905 and reports from the

Candidate Parran stated Friday night
that he expects Baltimore City to be very
close, and that in mis- opinion. neither
he nor Ray would receive more than 200
majority in the city. He expects to get
al least 10 per cent of the Democratic

look for Ray to get single Republican
oyster vote in these counties.
