In light of the Democrats attacking him for his stance on race issues, President Roosevelt is taking an active hand in the Maryland elections. He would like to see Stevenson A. Williams elected governor and has met with a number of Maryland Republicans at the White House to achieve party unity and elect Williams. In particular, former Postmaster General James Albert Gary and Governor Lloyd Lowndes had lunch with him in the White House. Lowndes’s name has been mentioned in connection with the vice presidency.
