Newspaper clipping of City Briefs from 1938

The local African-American community, both Republican and Democrat, was apparently well organized with efforts being made to get out the vote. Note the identification of a separate campaign headquarters for colored Republicans. The Election of 1938 featured the Maryland Gubernatorial contest between the incumbent, Harry W. Nice (1877-1941), a Republican, and his Democratic challenger, Herbert R. O'Conor (1896-1960). O'Conor won.
