See www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/2535981129/ where Harry Angstrom indicates that Crain is a Baltimore democrat. January 10, 1912, NYT, query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9C04E0D8163CE633A... gives him a role in getting Baltimore as the location for the 1912 Democratic convention. He headed the "Baltimore boom" -- any ideas what "boom" means in this context? According to Wikipedia, "Robert Crain Highway is the designation given to the former alignment of U.S. Route 301 from Bowie, Maryland, USA, to Baltimore."

@ swang – Baltimore as well as Charles County, Maryland, experienced tremendous increases in population and commerce after the opening of the Southern Maryland Trunk Line in 1922 – later renamed the Robert Crain Highway after it's most ardent supporter. The changes in the economic development as a result of this highway, and other factors, have been called "transformational". Perhaps the use of the term in the article referred to the beginning of this boom. (?)
