Bauman Victory Signals Conservative Rise In Maryland
In a special Maryland congressional race south of Baltimore Republican Robert Bauman defeated Democrat Frederick Markus despite Markus backing by major papers. Bauman, former national head of Young Americans for Freedom and ACU founder, underscored a shift of young conservatives into national politics and contested claims that Watergate stained conservative values. The win, aided by Agnew's support, suggests the South and West could anchor a continuing Republican majority and marks Bauman as a bellwether for the era.
