flicting charges about taxes were
being studied today by Maryland
voters as q result Of statements
by the States two leading candi-
dates for the Democratic guberna-
torial nomination.
George P. Mahoney, Baltimore
contractor, charged yesterday that
Gov. Lane "shovels tax dollars
to his bureaus faster than they
are able to spend it."
In reply. the Governor dared
his principal opponent for the
nomination to say exactly how
he would cut down taxes and
State spending.
At the same time, j. Millard
Tawes said last night that despite
his lack of opposition for the
Democratic nomination for con-
troller, he is ION the team-and
the team is Lane, Hammond and
Tawes all the way through"
The Mahoney forces have
stated they "have no quarrel
with Mr.. Tawes, who opposed Gov
Lane for the nomination four
years ago, or with Hall Hammond
who is seeking reelection as at
torney general.
Meanwhile, a report was circu-
lating among State Republican
leaders here that Mayor Herman
L. Mills of Hagerstown may with
draw from the race for the party's
nomination for the United States
Senate.
Mr.. Mills. at his Office in Hagers-
town, would neither confirm nor
deny the report.
Also in the race for the 'nomi-
nation are John M. Butler, Bal
timore attorney and D. John
Markey Of Frederick County, the
Republican senatorial candidate
in 1916.
Mr.. Markey said at his summer
home near st. Michaels that he
had been informed during a tele-
phone call from Western Mary
land that Mr.. Mills already had
his withdrawal. Mr..

announcement. The deadline for
withdrawal is next Friday.

his outfit was discharged at
