Servicemen With Winners in Maryland Elections
Official returns from 21 of Maryland's 33 counties show absentee servicemen voting with the winners from Roosevelt to winning congressional candidates. Roosevelt leads in the statewide race, while two amendments failed. Montgomery and Baltimore counties were not reported. The First District saw a large gain for Roosevelt backer Roe, and servicemen backed Millard E. Tyd for Senate and Blanchard Randall Jr. for the GOP. Incomplete returns in other districts show mixed results on upholding amendments and judiciary shifts. A separate rural note reports corn yields averaging 13 barrels per acre with an eight inch ear in a Frederick County field.
