BY Telegraph to The Irloune-I
Baltimore, Nov. s.-Maryland elects live
Democratic and one Republican Congress

The last delegation was composed OF three
Republicans and three Democrats. The

who succeeds Sidney Mudd Rep).
Sixth District-David ]. Lewis Dem.),
who succeeds George A. Pearre (Repo.
The chief surprises are In the 80 and 9th
districts, particularly the latter. The Sd

the strong pleas made by the Democratic
candidates in the two city districts, the Sd
and the 4th Konig made his campain
solely on the food price issue, and thus OBJ

the differences in the party. The vote is
apDarentIy close. and in this, as I'm the Sd
District, 1t may require the official canvass
TO decide, although the returns indicate the
election of Lewis by about 500 or more
plurality.
Attempts were made to trick the negro
voters in the southern counties. in the 5th
District. as usual. In several election dis
tricts in Anne Arundel county the names
of the Congress candidates were placed
on the ticket as to confuse the illiterate
negro voters In one precinct two sets
of ballots were used, contrary to law, one
for the white voter and another for the
negro. The colored voters. who had been
instructed to vote for the candidate named
third or fourth on the ticket, that being
the Republican, did as they were told, but
a juggling of the names made them vote
for the Democrat instead of the Republi-
can. Similar tricks were played in the
other counties in which the negro vote is
heavy. Notwithstanding the fact that
number of negroes lost their votes for the
Republican candidate. Parran Rep) car
