Pre-1950, 1933-1952 and undated
This subseries encompasses both political issues and campaigns. Speeches, pamphlets, news clippings, Senate memoranda, and reports deal with everything from labor issues to Tydings' political excursions to Europe after World War II. Campaign materials, and particularly correspondence, shed light on the Democratic organization in Maryland.
Prominent correspondents include Louis Johnson, Glenn L. Martin, Stuart Symington, Omar Bradley, A. M. Pride, Edward F. Hutton, James Bruce, and Harry S. Truman. There is also extensive correspondence from Tydings' constituents variously berating and encouraging him in his runs for the U. S. Senate and his 1947-48 campaign for the vice presidency.
Arrangement is alphabetical by topic or individual.
