Eastern Shore political note urges regional voting
A March 17 1947 letter questions Baltimore dominance in Maryland politics and calls for strong Eastern Shore voting unity to counter Western Shore influence. The writer cites tax pressure on nine shore counties and urges readers to support Eastern Shore interests. The piece also recounts personal memories of camp meetings and holiness preaching highlighting regional loyalties. Rev W M Lister of Huntington West Virginia signs as a secondary voice.
