for the Republican party by Governor
Goldsborough in his administration. It's

miney, mo, as the kids put it.
''On the whole, however, think Mr..
Weller would prove the stronger candi-
dates in the general election. He has
made fine record as chairman of the
State Roads Commission and would
give the State the same businesslike
administration at Annapolis as he has
in his present office. Also, he is a
magnetic campaigner. Not only will
all The elements of the Republican party
be united behind him. including our
brothers the Progressives, but also he
will draw large majority of the in
dependents and, believe, thousands of
democratic voters.

be elected Governor, but | think Mr..
Weller is the stronger candidate, so l
shall vote for him in the primary"
