In one of the bitterest Democratic
fights in the history of the Party in
Maryland, Governor William Pres
ton Lane, Jr., although nearly ten
thousand votes behind in the pop
ular vote, won denomination from
George P. Mahoney by winning the
majority of Convention votes, on
which the nomination is decided
On the basis of returns as we went
to press, Mahoney had 166,590 pop
ular votes but only 81 Convention
votes, while Lane had only 157,703
votes but 81 Convention votes.
The same situation has arisen in
the race between John Marshall
Butler and D. John Marley for the
Republican nomination for the u.
S. Senate, where Marley is leading
in the popular vote, but Butler has
the edge in Convention votes. In
this race, however, the returns are
not complete enough to tell how the
race will end.
U. S. Senator Willard Tydings was
an .easy winner over his two OPP
ponents, winning, by more than a
two-to-one majority over the com
bined votes of his opponents.

Republican nomination for Attorney
General between Helen Elizabeth
Brown and William A. Gunter, with
the result remaining in doubt until
the complete returns from Balti-
more and Worcester counties are in.
