the Baltimore NttcS says:
Representative Mudd called on District
Commissioner Wight Monday with Mr..
Charles F. Shaffer, Jr. of Laurel, who
wants to succeed Gen. Frank Bond as
Sealer of Weights and Measures for the

The chances of Mr.. Shaffer securing the
place are now regarded as much brighter,
in view of the fact that Mr.. Donaldson,
the Ohio candidate for the place who is
Endorsed it is said by the Pre- ident Senator
Hanna and other prominent Ohoans, has
withdrawn from the race, and is now a
candidate for the position of Surerintend
