George P. Mahoney carried
his campaign for the Maryland
senatorial nomination into West
Virginia and Pennsylvania last
week and may get into Delaware
in the week ahead.
Both he and his Democratic
primary opponent. Willard E.
Tydings, will be stumping Mary
lands Eastern Shore this week.
Mr.. Mahoney may be in
friendlier hands. however. The
shores "favorite son" among
Democrats, and a likely candi-
date for Governor two years
from now, j. Willard Tawes, is
supporting Mr.. Mahoney.
Party Groups Divided
A number of Eastern Shore
party organizations are divided
between Mr.. Mahoney and Mr..
ITydings or are non-commttal.
The Baltimore contractor, who
has three times previously at
tempted to win Statewide Office,
will pause on Thursday to make
flying visit back to Western
Maryland, where he spent all last
week, to attend a banquet and
rally scheduled in his honor at
Cumberland.
In his tour of Western Mary
land last week. the Mahoney
caravan found itself on Wednes-
day over the West Virginia line.
This was at Kitzmiller where a
group of Garrett County Demo-
Gratis met him in private club,
lust 80 steps from Maryland
across Potomac River bridge.
On Pennsylvania Roads
On Friday, the Mahoney cam
lpaign caravan toured northern
Frederick County. On its way
from Sabillasville to Emmits-
ourg-both in Maryland-the
party found itself travelling over
Pennsylvania highways for sew
eral miles. At one point the cam
didate was within IL miles of
President EiSenhower's farm at
Gettysburg.
Tomorrow, Mr.. Mahoney will
be taken in tow by James Lynch
of Ridgeley and Martin Sutton,
chairman Of the Caroline County
State Central Committee. for a
tour Of that county. 1t is not
unlikely that the party will find
itself seeking votes in the towns
of Marydel and Whitelysburg
