In Frederick County there are 26
election districts and 50 precincts,
with a total registration OF 12.759
Democrats. Next Tuesday the first
registration for general primary
since 1896 is being held. This is ex-
pected to result in bringing the Demo-
cratic registration up to about $4,000.
Frederick city has 19 precincts with
total Of 1895, or better than one
third OF the entire registration in the
county. Emmitsburg has three pre-
cincts with a registration OF 795, and
shows a decided edge for Mr.. Tydings
for Senator and Attorney General Her
bert r. O'Conor for Governor. Bruins
wick has four precincts and a Demo-
cratic registration of 1898, or about
one-tenth Of the whole county-and
the indications are that Mr.. Lewis will
carry this city for Senator and Mayor

Farmers for Lewis.
In Frederick city it is generally ad-
mitted that Mr.. Jackson will have
a larger majority than Senator Tyd-
ings, if the prediction holds that Mr.
Tydings edges out on Mr.. Lewis.
Frederick is county seat for rich
agricultural area. That is why Mr.
Lewis and his henchmen keep rapping
away at Senator Tydings for his votes
on farm measures-Agricultur Ad-
justment Act in 1888, Farm Relief
Bill (Conally- jones' in 1884, Soil Con-
servation in 1895. Farm Act Of 1888,
Oleomargarine Bill of interest to dairy
farmers. Farm Bill report, against pur-
chase of surplus farm commodities
and against funds for eradication of
cattle diseases. But Frederick also has
five or six good sized industrial plants.
Mr.. Lewis will get decided break
on the labor vote, though not solidly.
Mr.. Lewis also will get the break on
the agricultural vote. The business
vote will be almost solidly for Sena-
tor .Tydings.
Twenty-four of the 26 election dis
tricts are rural. Brunswick is. as has
been said. a labor and one-industry
center. The other election district is
Frederick City.
It would seem Mr. Lewis had a big
advantage all along the line on this
breakdown. but the trend is for Sem
ator Tydings-perhaps it isn't strong
enough to carry him over.
Mr. Winebrunner says: I'm the last
30 days and more especially in the
last week there has been a trend, in
tensified by the Presidents personal
invasion OF Maryland. for Tydings.
This is going to be close county, but
now slightly favors Tydings where 80
days ago it decidedly favored Lewis. Z"
