COP Prestige Won
In Maryland No Grea1
Worry 10 Democrats
By John V. Homer

Maryland'S relatively new Repub
lican organization gained prestige il
carrying the State for Gov. Dewe,
against the Truman tide, but tn,
experienced Democratic organiza
ton headed by Gov. Lane still has
the more tangible asset of patronage
Despite recent party pickering, tn,
Republican organization led b,
Jacob France displayed impressiv,
strength. 1t carried Maryland fol
the national ticket by approx
mately 5000 votes and kept its tw<
House Republicans in an election
which saw Democrats capturing con.
troll of Congress.
The victory was notable in viev
of Maryland's voting record. Tn,
State has had a habit of being or
the winning side in national cleo.
tions. Not since 1888 had she failec
to vote for the successful presiden.
tial candidate.
Democrats Not Too Worried.
The Democratic organization 1.
not too worried, however. 1t wa:
one Of the first to indorse President
Truman for re-election-and at 9
time when the Presidents stock
was low.
Furthermore, the organization
worked diligently for him before
during and after the Philadelphia
Convention. Gov. Lane and his
close political associates, Senators
Tydings and O'Conor, made cam
paign speeches for Mr.. Truman. The
Governor also made a sizable con-
tribution to the campaign fund.
Mr.. France, as Republican Ma
tional Committeeman, has been a
controversial figure in his party.
Those who dislike him consider him
ruthless.
At the 194s State convention he
not only succeeded in shelving Galen
L. TAFT of Chevy Chase, venerable
chairman of the Maryland Party
but also brought in as National
committeewoman = political un-
known.
Backed State Senator HOff.
He was instrumental in replacing
Mr.. TAFT with State Senator Stan
ford Hon of Westminster, and Sc
curing the election of Miss Bertha
Adkins of Salisbury, as the commit
teewoman.
Mr.. Hoff was acceptable to the
rank and file because of his service
in the Legislature and his reputa-
ton as an aggressive party worker
He also is young and had brilliant
war record.
Republican women deeply re-
sented the choice of Miss Adkins
however. She had spent many years
of her life outside the State, never
had been active in politics and even
had not voted in some recent elec-
tions. The women complained that
they were not consulted in the
choice.
Much of the bitterness was dissi..
pated by Senator Hoff, whose di-
plomacy and efficiency are credited
for large measure of the France
organizations success. Eventually
the party got smoothly-function
ing campaign group at work.
