MISCELLANIA
The Democrats carried the State except for
three Counties - Calvert, Charles and St.
Mary's.
Wilson, an eloquent speaker, gave a most
impressive inaugural address. His admin-
istration was responsible for getting through
Congress the most far-reaching series of laws
concerned with social justice up to that time.
