RAINIER LANDS WINNER
Big Senatorial Fight in Maryland is
 Now at an End.

Baltimore, Md, Feb 4.-A remarka- ble political fight was brought to an end by the action of the democratic legislative caucus at Annapolis last night. After a session of more than three hours the caucus selected Hon Isador Rayner of Baltimore, former congressman, former attorney-general Of the state and conspicuous q few years ago as counsel for Admiral Schley before the famous court of in- quiry, as it's choice for United States senator. .F
 Germans choice all along has been Bernard Carter, who, like 4,-r Rayner, is Baltimore lawyer, but MT Cor mans wish in this respect was com pletely blocked by John Walter Smith, who stepped out of the office of gov ernor the first of the year. Mir Smit1, has long been planning to enter the United States senate, and he and his friends claim that he had the promise of Germans assistance. He was much surprised, when the time came for the legislature to vote, to find that Cor man had been playing him false and was trying to force Mir Carter upon his followers.
 Rayner's fight has been largely conducted by the Baltimore Sun, which has for many years been op- posed to Senator German and which, during the campaign last fell, gave no aid or comfort to the democratic tick ct. Before the election. however, Mir Rayner secured pledges of support from the Baltimore city members Of the legislature, which gave him big start He then stumped the state thoroughly and won many friends. 1t was expected that many of the Balti more delegates would desert Rayner after two or three complimentary bal lots, but they have been held to their pledges by the active campaigning of the Sun and the pressure of a public opinion partly spontaneous and partly manufactured.
 Two other candidates played an un- important part ill the contest, ex- Governor Elihu ID. Jackson, with five steadfast votes. and Hon Joshua w. Mills, with the four votes of his own county. Neither had a chance, but they aided in blocking the progress of the leading candidates. The voting was practically uniform throughout the twelve votes taken in the joint sessions of the two houses.
 Senator Louis E. McComas, whom MT Rayner will succeed, has received the entire republican strength on ev- cry vote. MT Carter, Senator Cor mans candidate, has long been known as q feryent corporation lawyer and is leading counsel for the Pennsyl- vania Railroad Go, which controls the Baltimore Sc Ohio. This phase of the fight Is better understood when it is explained that Gould has recently se- cured an entrance to tidewater for rolN oh ha chase of the Western Maryland road, and the people are more friendly to the newcomr than to the old monop- aIv 6

Dear Sir: We manage to get some fun

salesman OF somebody elses's paint before
ours had got there. Salesman said ours
was short-measure Kohlmeyer weaken
ed, hung, fire and Topped; stopped ours and
took his.
1t was our turn now. We emptied our
can into his and his into ours. The short
measure was his, not ours, and we kept
our man.
And, ever since then, that paint-manu-
facturer gives full-measure; his paint is not
pure, but his gallon contains four quarts.
Go by the name; and the name to go by is
Devoe lead-and-zinc.
Yours truly,
