tions against employment of

cry service operators, freight

htbitions against women engaging
IN any work detrimental to

SENATOR
Democratic ChieftainS Make
Predictions As Campaign
Draws to Close

Senator Millard F. Tydings
of Maryland, Democratic can
didate to succeed himself, will
run ahead of his ticket in
Montgomery county it was
predicted today by leading
Democrats.
The prevailing opinion is that
the Senator will win even more
votes in the county than Frank
lin .. Roosevelt. Representative
David j. Lewis, who seeks re-
election to the House from the
Sixth district, will run third, fore
casters believe.
While Democrats are confident
of sweeping the entire ticket, they
realize that in Harold c. Smith,
Republican, of Rockville. they
have Montgomery county man
with whom to compete and figure
that he will garner many votes in
his own county. Automobile deal
ers, in particular, will be against
Lewis because Of his stand on the
sales tax.
Senator Tydings, however,
seems to have won the support Of
all except dyed-in.the-wool Repub-
1icans because Of his record in
Congress. His wet stand may
hurt him some. but on the other
hand will win favor with oppo-
nents Of the dry law.
