Democrats Forecast Smith Victory In First District
A discriminating review of the First district politics argues Democrats hold the advantage after county-wide inquiry. It cites Smith as a tireless candidate backed by leaders from Cecil to Somerset, with Parker and Davis on the Eastern Shore slate and Jackson facing a party-assembled opposition led by Miles, Applegarth, and Barrell. The piece notes substantial black voter presence and debates over vote-buying, estimating Smith’s margin between 200 and 600, contingent on turnout and county performances.
