Surprising defeats shadow primaries in Baltimore districts
In Baltimore on September 18, the Democratic machine suffered a rare setback with Isaac Lobe Straus losing to Linthicum in the Third District by about 200 votes. William J. Ogden, promoting municipal ownership, won in the Fourth District though that area is solidly Republican. Rayner, son of Senator Rayner, was defeated in his ward by William M. Maloy, while party leaders backed Linthicum and Ogden. The GOP claimed success across most wards, setting up likely senatorial selections.
