he intends to step UP his activity
in behalf of the Senator in the
next two weeks.
He said that in addition to
continuing his joint appearances
with the Senator at political
gatherings, he will go on radio
and television to urge his re-
election.
The Governors support is par
Iticularly important to Senator
Butler in Baltimore City, where
Mr.. McKeldin two years ago
overcame a 4-to-1 Democratic
registration majority and carried
the city by $4,000 votes.
Butler Victory Predicted
Gov. McKeldin, who came
within 5000 votes of predicting
his own 62.418-vote margin of
victory over DR.. H. C. Byrd in
1854, forecast yesterday that
Presid emit Eisenhower would
carry Maryland by 10000 to 85,-
900 votes and Senator Butler
would win by about 10000 votes
Democratic leaders will not
talk in terms of vote margins
when asked about Mr.. Steven
sons chances in Maryland. Most
of them also say that he can
win, not that he will win.
The Democrats are hoping to
score heavily in the next 10 days
with a trio of big names from
the National level.
On Saturday, Vice Presiden-
tial Nominee Estes Kefauver is
scheduled to hit Frederick, I'll
monium and Glen Burnie. On
Monday, october 90. House
Speaker Sam Rayburn is to ad-
dress a .$100-a-plate fund-rais-
ing dinner in Baltimore.
The next day, State Demo-
cratic leaders hope to have Mr..
Stevenson himself in Baltimore
for a noontime address in front
of city hall.
President May Appear
Republicans have had Vice
President Nixon in the State
twice, and Secretary of the
Treasury Humphrey spoke at
their 500 dinner Thursday
night. They also have a prob
able" appearance by President
Eisenhower scheduled for about
November /.
Mr.. Mahoney has predicted he
will carry the State by about
$4,000 and Baltimore City by
about 10000.
Most observers feel he will
have to carry the city by about
10000 to win at all.
Mr.. Mahoney has never lost
the city in any Of his four
Democratic primary campaigns.
and in his only general election
effort against Republican Sem
ator Beall four years ago. he
carried the city by about $4,000

came the winner by about $4,000
votes.
Two Factors Favor Butler
Mr.. Mahoney is favored in the
city again this time, but these
two big factors not present ir
1852 are working against him
now:
4 /. Whereas Senator Beal
comes from Frostburg, Senator
Butler is a native Baltimorear
and favored by Baltimore COM
mercial interests.
\ 2. There are indications that
the Negro vote, which is about
20 per cent of the city total. will
continue a shift from Democrat
to Republican begun in 1854
Most County Negroes already
vote Republican.
The Mahoney leaders are
banking heavily on the support
of voters who resent the kind
of campaign Senator Butler used
to defeat former Democratic
Senator Millard E. Tydings ir
1850.
Some ResentfuI Democrats
The Butler people are count
ing just as heavily on votes
from Democrats who can't abide
by Mr.. Mahoney because they
feel he has been a party
wrecker" in his previous primary
bids for Governor and Senator
One Democratic stalwart said
however, he felt Mr.. Mahoney
would benefit the most from
these "anti" votes because "the
resentment against Senator But
Ter is one of principle, while
that against Mr.. Mahoney is
mostly irritation"
In the three most populouS
counties of the State-which
along with Baltimore City cast
about 10 per cent of Mary
lands vote-Mr. Eisenhower and
Senator Butler appear to be
stronger in Montgomery and
Baltimore Counties and the
Democrats seem to have the
edge in Prince Georges.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-10-21

could still swing the election to
Mr.. Mahoney.
There is considerably less
doubt in the minds of most OBJ
servers about which way Mary
lands 8 electoral votes will go.
President Eisenhower seems to
have a decided advantage over
Democrat Adlai Stevenson, al
though it is doubtful that he
will pile up anything like the
104.000-vote margin he came out
Of Maryland with in 1852.
Interviews with key Republic
can and Democratic leaders also
indicate that there will be no
change in the 4-3 Democratic
advantage in Maryland's repre-
sentation in the House. Demo-
cratic incumbents are favored
for reelection in the Sd, 4th, 5th
and 7th congressional districts;
Republican representatives are
expected to be returned in the
list, I'd and 9th districts.
Many Voters Undecided
Senator Butler, although he is
expected to run well behind
President Eisenhower, will pick
up enough Eisenhower coat
tall votes to offset other of his
handicaps, Republican leaders
believe.
The Butler Mahoney race is
puzzling prognosticators because
both men have made so many
political enemies in the past six
years. Some are calling it an
"unpopularity contest"
Many voters are expected to
skip the senatorial line alto
gether when they cast their bal
lots on November 6.
An abnormally large number
Of voters are still undecided. This
Is indicated by some of the polls
taken around the State.
One taken in Hagerstown last
week showed 81 per cent of the
some 300 householders inter-
viewed by high school students
stating that they hadn't, made
up their minds between Senator
Butler and Mr.. Mahoney. Forty
two per cent said they will vote
for the Senator, 10 per cent ia
vored Mr.. Mahoney and 9 per
cent said they wouldn't vote for
either one.
Street-COrner Poll
The street-corner poll being
taken in downtown Baltimore by
Goucher College students last
week showed a 24.2 per cent un-
decided as against 38 per cent
for Mr.. Mahoney and 37.8 per
cent for Senator Butler.
Both of those polls gave Pres
ident Eisenhower a lead, SO to 80
per cent over Mr.. Stevenson in
Hagerstown and SIS to 34.2 per
cent in Baltimore.

DORIS FLEEsON

When Senator Albert Gore
of Tennessee assured a Massa-
chusetts rally that the States
junior Senator, John F. Ken
nedy, would ornament the
presidential ticket in either
spot at any time, Gore was
only repaying compliment.
Senator Kennedy's own an
swer to questions about his
vice presidential ambitions
has long been a suggestion
that the post would go to Gore
and a good thing too.
The press galleries would
agree that from the standpoint
of character, ability and in
dustry the junior Senator from
Tennessee stands very near the
top of the heap. He is also
very well placed geographical
ly. being from a border State
between North and South
which is the political bridge
Democrats like to build in a
national ticket.
The care and diligence with
which Gore has constructed a
national liberal record in six
terms in the House and his
present first term in the Sem
ate speak for his ambitions.
