No Excitement In Maryland Over Election
Maryland voters see few campaign signs as the 1948 presidential race nears. Truman and Dewey avoid Maryland events while Wallace and Thurmond campaign. Funds loosened with a $25,000 Democratic drive, and GOP leaders urge mobilization to win all eight electoral votes. Across districts Miller Bolton Shipley Beall contest tight. Beall favored in western counties, Shipley expected strong in Carroll and Harford, Bolton strong in Baltimore.
