Would Make City Supreme.

There are many persons who think it
would be a decidedly bad state Of
affairs for Baltimore City to contain
more than half the population of the
State and therefore, a majority of the
voters.
The Census of 1910 shows that the
State contained on June 1st of that
year l, 295, 346 people, of whom 558, 4S5
were in Baltimore City. But at the
same time, in the closely built-up sec
tons around the city, there were 1O0,-
230 people. Take these from the
country population and add them to the
city and the latter will have a popula-
ton of 658, us, as against 636, 631 for
the remainder of the State.
