how the States presidential vote would
be cast.
Traditionally Democratic, the Old
Dominion fell into the Republican col
umn in 1928 and leaders Of that party

cratic chieftains, however, expressed
confidence that the State would re-
deem herself" by large majority.
Both Claim Victories.

General Assembly. All candidates, as a
result, were thrown into a battle

been waged, concluding with speeches Ill

In Maryland, as in Virginia, both
Democratic and Republican leaders were
claiming the State for their candidates.
George L. Radcliffe. chairman of the
Democratic Campaign Committee, de-
clared that Gov Roosevelt would carry
the State by at least $4,000 votes, while
Robert B. Ennis. one OF the Democratic
leaders of Baltimore and who has
worked hard for the success of the

Col. John Philip Hill, who has con-
Quoted the Republican campaign in
Maryland. would give no specific esti-
mate as to the number of votes Hoover
would receive in the State, but ex-
pressed himself as confident that the
President would not only carry Mary
land, but that the partys entire con-

Cole, jr.. in the second. Vincent L.
Palmisano in the third. Stephen v.

for both the unexpired term Of the
late J. Charles Linthicum and the full
term Of the Seventy-third session. and
Democratic leaders are equally conf

augmented the Democratic preponder-

Past performance, however, favor the
Republicans. In 1920, 1924 and 1928
this State was carried by the G. o. p;

election since the operation Of the nine
teenth amendment has gone Re-

Further. the G. o. p leaders explain
that affiliations mean nothing; that in
Baltimore and Maryland many voters
enroll as Democrats who are just as
likely to vote the Republican ticket as
they are the Democratic ticket. Espe-

this true in the case of national cleo
tions, when much Of the business vote
is traditionally Republican.
