Maj. Lees address was concerned prin-

1925 when ne received $1,000 more votes
than his Republican opponent.
well informed political observers in
Baltimore have given up the idea that
Mayor Broening has any chance for cleo
tion." he asserted. The active Democratic
leaders OF the city believe that Gov. Richie
will exceed the $4,000 majority which
Baltimore gave him in 1926.
From the county standpoint, the Gov
ernor will receive his largest majority from
any of the congressional districts in the
Central Maryland district comprised of Bal
timore. Carroll and Hartford counties.
The Southern Maryland counties viii
probably give Governor Richie his second
largest majority from county section of the
State, and the Eastern Shore district will
add third majority to the Governors total

only from Western Maryland is there
any real possibility of Broening majority
and if the Mayor of Baltimore carries the

Representative Collier predicted that Gov
T Richie will be elected by majority of
more than 100000 votes. He lauded
David J. Lewis. candidate for the House of
Representatives from the 9th Congressional
district. and condemned the Republican
, national administration which he said is to
