WELLER WILL TOUR 9Th DISTRICT
The Western Counties To Be Visited
Next Week.

The counties of the Sixth district will
be the first section of the state visited
next week by State Roads Chairman
Weller in his initial swing through
Maryland The trip planned by Mr.
Weller's friends is not for the purpose
of speechmaking, but merely to give
the Baltimore county candidate an op-
portunity to meet the voters personally.
While Mr.. Weller is known to the
citizens of Maryland through his road
work and also personally to some
through his visits to the counties on
road inspections, he has never had an
opportunity to get into personal touch
with the rank and file of his party, ex-
cept in an official way. In this present
age people are DESTROYS of personally
knowing the candidate for whom they
expect to vote, and numerous requests
have been made that Mr.. Weller take
this swing at an early date.

They were strong, helpful sermons.

The attendance of farmers and their
families living in the vicinity Of the
