How Mudd Won.
The victory Of Sydney f. Mudd, in the
Fifth district, is attributed chiefly to his
victory in Anne Arundel county by
about 200 despite the Democratic ma
lority on affiliation of LOO. However,
Johnson also was held down i'm Howard
to 600, in Prince George TO 80 and in
the city wards to 900. although the latter
have $500 Democratic majority on affili-
alton.
Mudd carried his own county, Charles,
by about L2o0, which seems to dispose Of
the idea that the Poseys would cut him
He also carried st. Mary's by the heavy
majority of $50 and Calvert by 4G9.
In the face Of the Democratic major
fly OF 400 on affiliation in the Fifth
district, Mudd's victory is distinctly sur
prising. Ii is believed to be due, in
large part. to the dissatisfaction aris-
ing from the primary, in which Mr..
Johnson defeated Cong -essman Frank
q. Smith. Also. il is thought, the
charges of registration padding made
against the Democrats in Anne Arundel
may have contributed to Johnson's de-
feat there
