The campaign manager for Samuel W. Barrick, a Democratic attorney general hopeful and Maryland state senator from Frederick County, solicited small loan firm friends to buy tickets to a February 1 testimonial. Investors Loan Corp. vice president Gwynn X. Kinsey urged purchase of $50 tickets, saying Maryland needs new loan laws.
