BY WILL p. KENNEDY
Senator Millard E. Tydings, sig
nailed out by the New Deal as the
chief object Of the Senate purge. "
will be renominated in the Democratic
primary tomorrow with approximate
ly two-thirds of the 149 county-unit
votes, according to q careful and i'm
partial survey which covered the en-
| tire state.
His 6syear-old rival for the nomi-
nation, Representative David j.
Lewis, who had the Presidents active
support, seems to have made little
headway outside his own Congress
sional district. where he appears to
have lost Montgomery county, and
possibly Frederick and Garrett coun-
ties. He may win in Prince Georges
county. mainly through support of
New Deal officials, and Wicomico
County on the Eastern Shore He is
expected to get two legislative dis
tricts in Baltimore city.
Resentment of the voters in the
Free State" Of Maryland against
Presidential invasion" is claimed by
partisans to have turned many votes
to Senator Tydings all over the state
While Mr.. Lewis has been credited
with much support from labor, many
votes admittedly will be cast against
him because "he is too close to the
c. I. O." The farm vote, which was
supposed to be largely for Mr. Lewis,
will give Senator Tydings substantial
backing generally throughout the
state, II the signs are correct.
Jackson Given Edge
From a national viewpoint, as we'll
as locally throughout the % counties,
covering the states 12,300 square
miles, the Senatorial contest has
overshadowed the Gordy, Jackson,
OConor and Sasscer campaign for
the Democratic gubernatorial nomina-
tion. But the race for the governor
ship is one of the bitterest campaigns
in Maryland history. Mayor Howard
w. jackson Of Baltimore and Herbert
r. O'Conor. attorney general, are in a
nip-and-tuck struggle, with the pros
pect that Mr. Jackson will win. State
Comptroller William S. Gordy Jr. and
Lansdale G. Sasscer, president of the
State Senate, are in the race as
second-choice men or compromise
candidates II Jackson and O'Conor
reach deadlock in the convention.
Gordy has appealed particularly to
the nine counties on the Eastern
Shore. and Sasscer has centered his
campaign in Anne Arundel County
where the State Capitol is located
and in the four counties of southern
Maryland
In the congressional primaries the
lncumbents are all expected to win:
Cd T. Alan Colds borough, nine coun-
ties on the Eastern Shore. unopposed
but with a hard fight promised in the
general election because he invited the
President to invade" the State; (2)
William P. Cole, jr., Baltimore, Car
roll and Hartford Counties and five
wards in Baltimore City; 90 Vincent
l.. Palmisano. whose district is en-
tlrely IN Baltimore, who has hard
contest with Thomas D'Alesandro, ir..
but who is expected to return as chair
man Of the House District Committee:
90 Ambrose ]. Kennedy, whose dis
trict is also entirely in Baltimore, who
has opposition but should win easily:
90 Stephen w. Cambria six counties-
Anne Arundel, Howard, four in South
ern Maryland and part of Baltimore
city. In the sixth district, now repre-
sented by Mr.. Lewis, comprising the
nve northwest counties - Allegany,
Frederick, Garrett. Montgomery and
Washlngton-there are three candi-
dates: Joseph A. Cantrel. Chew
Chase; William D. Byron, Williams
port, and Edward j. Ryan, Frpstburp
MIR. Byron is expected to win.
10 return to the Democratic sena-
torial race:
After visiting the principal COM
munltles in each Of the % counties.
talking with those ''in politics" and
with the humblest voters, workinpmen
farmers and the campaign workers a
reasonable forecast of the vote by
counties 'unit SYSTEM would appear
TO be as follows:
Aleeany, seven votes for Lewis
anne Arundel, seven votes for
Tydings.
Baltimore County, seven votes for
Tydings.
Baltimore City, which has six leeis-
lAllVe districts with seven votes each

Ialoot' four votes, Tydings.
washington, seven votes, Lewis.

Worcester, four votes, Tydings.
Ihs adds up: Tydings s5, Lewis
