mittee during the campaign. This
paid for one complete mailing Of
literature tc all Montgomery Demo-
Gratis, two special campaign news
papers mailed to each Democrat,
and $500 for election day ex-
penses.
The Central Committee has the
names of all Montgomery County
Democrats on addressograph
plates.
Montgomery County Democrats
also matched the Mahoney Com
mittee contributions to the other
three Western Counties excluding
Washington County.
Montgomery County Democrats
also bought n tickets to the $50
Dinner at the Emerson just after
Labor Day, which number was only
exceeded by Baltimore City, and
contributed over $4,000 to the
State Campaign Committee fund
not counting my own contributions.
| ended up as the largest single
contributor to the State Campaign
Committee Fund, to its ensuing
deficit, and except for Mr.. Mahoney
| believe to other County and City
Democratic Treasurers.
Montgomery County Democrats
bought over $1,000 worth of the
S. Rummel Plan Certificates which
was over 900 of the amount sold
in Maryland.
Montgomery County as a subur-
ban and agricultural County pro-
duced about the same kind of vot-
ing that took place in Baltimore
County and the northern sections
of Baltimore City.
Democratic National Party
Continues Strong
The fact that while, General
Eisenhower carried the Nation by
100000 votes the Republican rec
ord in the Nation and concerning
world affairs only carried the U. S.
Senate by one vote and the House
Of Representatives by z votes,
proves the strength and the deep
roots of your great Democratic
Party, earned by it's magnificent
record of achievement for America
and the World. Also, Governor
Stevenson not only received $685.
Cpl more votes in the Nation than
President Truman polled when he
won in 1913, but Governor Stew
enson also received the largest vote
ever cast by Americans except
Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1886 and
President Eisenhower in 1852.
We should all hope that Presi-
dent Eisenhower can save America
and the World from the inadequa-
cies and blind spots of the reac-
tionary record and inclinations of
so many of the old guard Republi-
can leaders in the Congress.
We further must trust that the
President and the Republican Con-
gress will be able to continue for
all of US the greatest and most
general prosperity and the highest
standard Of living ever attained by
man, and will at the same time
continue able to keep the Russian
Communists stopped without start
ing World War III, for that is the
record of twenty years of Demo-
cratic Administration.
To the extent that the President
and the Congress succeed the
people of America and of the
World will win. The extent that
they may fail will determine both
free mems chance for survival and
Americas position in approaching
elections.
1t was joy to me that at no
time during the campaign were
there any newspaper or other pub
lie arguments between Maryland
Democrats, and that we went to
the vote with all observers con-
ceeding that the Democratic Cam
paign effort had been well coord-
mated and strongly made in Mary
land, and that the State would be
close.
/ am proud to have taken part
in this Campaign, and | personally
am grateful to you and every other
Democrat and citizen who stood
with US. 1t was a real pleasure
to me to renew old party friend
ships and make new acquaintance.
Sincerely and
Respectfully yours,
E. Brooke Lee,
Recently Maryland
Democratic Campaign
Chairman.
