md. CAMPAIGN.
Many Angles Spice
Tydings-LeWis Race
By THEODORE HUNTLEY


Out in the counties in Maryland
the boys are licking their lips.
They think they hear the gravy
boat coming round the bend.
They may, at that, though the
leaders say it's bunk.
Take the Senatorship, on the
Democratic Side-the only side to
which anyone is paying any at
tention.
LABOR BACKS LEWIS
Davy Lewis admittedly is poor
folks" But he has the support OF
labor. And didn't John L. Lewis
and the CIO kick in with half
q million berries for the Roose
velt campaign, with side dishes
for candidates in some of the
backward States? And isn't or
ganized labor more interested than
ever now in strengthening its posi-
ton in Congress?
Senator Mlllard TydingS isn't
exactly rolling in wealth, but he
doesn't have to depend on his
$4,000 a year from the national
Treasury for his existence. He
has a nice estate near the bay
with some old lockwood on it; a
nice law practice in Baltimore
with some sizeable fees in it, and
the more or less solid support OF
Maryland business interests, who
aren't going to let a good man
down. And where there's cash
for sound trucks, speakers, travel,
ballyhoo and buttons, there's
usually some for the boys.
A WOMAN ANGLE
There's a woman angle in the
Maryland campaign. A real one.
About three of them, in fact.
Youth and women like ROOSe-
velt."
That succinct observation by a
Maryland woman who knows her
onions expresses condition which
Is more or less common to the
country as a whole. But It's es-
pecially true in Maryland, says
this feminine leader.
That's one angle.
Angle No. 2: The Maryland
League of Women Voters, the
Business and Protest. sion
Women's Council of Baltimore, the
National Woman'S Party and
whole slew of political and social
and study clubs and civic organl-
cations with women members are
ayidly interested in politics. More
than that, they know what to do
about it.
CANDIDATES GRILLED
A night or two ago the business
and professional women had the
principal Democratic candidates
for governor on the pan. They fed
'em and then wanted to know
pointblank what they proposed to
do if nominated and elected, and
what they had done so far. And
were some of them embarrassed!
The toastmistress, Mrs. Amelia
Hines Walker, warned the women
present, before introducing the
candidates.:
"PicE your governors like can-
tGloupeS;
With care your choice decide.
It is not 1UiSe to choose the ones
That are too smooth outside.
Angle No. 8: Mayor Jackson,
who thinks of himself as about the
right size for the governors chair
has a reputation for preJuolce
against women in politics. He has
given them practically no recog-
milton in municipal appointments.
DIFFERENT WITH NICE
Governor Nice, on the other
hand, has enticed some OF the
leading women of Maryland into
service of the State.
The Governor will speak owe"
the radio tonight between 6 and
7, supposedly announcing his can
didacy for reelection.
Senators Tydings and Radcliffe
both have women secretaries IN
Washington.
Don't think for a second that
Maryland women don't know all
about the attitude of political
leaders of both parties toward
their sex. It's factor in the cam
paign.
