6. 0. P. Convention
Support Ohioon

1aIL supporters dominate the
slate of delegates who will repre-
sent Montgomery and Prince
Georges County at the Maryland
Republican Convention in Balti-
more May "a.
OF the IA delegates elected by
Republican voters in the nearby
counties yesterday, 10 have stated
their belief that Senator Taft
should get the G. o. P. presi-
dental nomination.
Rounding out the seven-man
delegation elected in Montgomery
is an Eisenhower backer and one
delegate who declined to state
preference. Two victorious Prince
Georges delegates have said they
like Gen. Eisenhower.
Some Taft Men Defeated.
Two Eisenhower hackers were
defeated in Prince Georges, in a
field of rs delegate candidates, and
two more were defeated in Mont
gomery, which had Is candidates
for Republican delegate. Most of
the other defeated delegate can
didates favor Senator Taft.
The personal preference of the
g. 0. P. State convention delegates
are significant this year because
no presidential candidates ap-I
peared on the Republican ballot in
Maryland, and no write-ins were
allowed. The only way Republi-
can voters could influence their
party'S choice for President in
Chicago next July was through
selection of delegates to the State
convention, who in turn will elect
the delegation to the national
convention.
Kefauver Slate Wins.
On the Democratic side, dele
gates from Prince Georges and
Montgomery will have no choice
but to support Senator Kefauver
at their State convention, at least
on the first ballot. The Tennes-
sean, only presidential candidate
on the Democratic ballot, was the
choice of party voters in both
counties over the "uninstructed"
delegation.
In Prince Georges, Senator Ke-
fauver received 1902 votes to
1928 for "uninstructed' in COM
plete unofficial returns. Unofficial
tabulations from 81 of Montgom-
ery's So precincts gave Mr.. Ke-
fauver 9,009 votes to 4,5l2 for
"uninstructed."
Both Democratic DELEGATIONS
elected in the two nearby counties
were on states pledged to Repre-
sentative SaSscer, who carried
Montgomery and Prince Georges
but lost the senatorial nomination
to George P. Mahoney. In Prince
Georges. it was clear-cut victory
for the seven Sasscer delegates
over seven candidates who had
publicly attached themselves to
Mr.. Mahoney. In Montgomery
there was no Mahoney slate, but
the one candidate who campaigned
actively for the victorious sena-
torial nominee was defeated.
