The piece reports on Republican and Democratic activities in Maryland with racial tensions at a Baltimore convention where many black delegates disrupted by fights and police, a monument in Baltimore honors Colonel William H. Watson, and Democratic prospects under Edwin Warfield. It notes registration drives, party lines, and white supremacist rhetoric from Somerset county Democrats urging white unity to oppose black influence amid a growing black electorate.
