Maryland Politics Again To The Front
Maryland politics surged to the fore as Governor Goldsborough announced he will not seek re election. The Democratic State Central Committee met in Baltimore, with Harrington and Lee supporters present, while Republicans hoped to keep unity. Goldsborough’s withdrawal eases party tension though Weller and Warburton supporters remain hopeful of the nomination. A Frederick meeting for the Democratic ticket closed in Emmitsburg with praise for Senator Blair Lee’s campaign and a note that Lee may gain broader county support.
