Maryland Political Conditions Favor Taft in Close State
Fairmore reports Maryland leans to Taft with Bryan gains since 1896 and 1900. Australian ballot law suppresses diliterate black votes and nine southern counties lack party labels. Baltimore shows mixed signals. Fourth district leans Republican while Third district favors Bryan. Labor defection to Bryan appears solid, with possible overall result by about 1,000 votes either way. Conditions resemble 1904 with a split electoral slate.
