METCALF NAY
SUCCEED PAYNE
Decided Rumor Starts in
Oakland That Congress
man Will Enter Cabinet
CANDIDATES PREPARING
Story Is Generally Believed
by Those in Touch With
Affairs in Washington

There is a great to-do and a hurrying
of the politicians in Alameda, Contra
Costa and Solano counties. ard all be-
cause there has come from Washington
complete verification of The Calls ex-
elusive story that Congressman Victor
II. Metcalf is to succeed Postmaster
General Payne in the Cabinet of Presi-
dent Roosevelt. Aspirants to succeed
Metcalf in Congress are already in the
field.
Certain it is that Postmaster General
Payne is very sick man and vill re-
tire from the Cabinet as soon as he can
do so. Certain it is that Congressman
Victor H. Metcalf is considered In
Washington as available Cabinet ma
terial, and he almost became Secretary
of the Interior about year ago Ger
tain it is that President Roosevelt has
had a desire for Il Pacific Coast man
among his advisers, and Congressman
Metcalf stands we'll with the President
Now comes the statement from some IF
Mr. Metcalfs close friends that the
Congressman from Oakland will sue
ceed Payne.
Up to this time there has not been a
candidate to announce himself for Con-
gress against Mr. Metcalf. but the au-
lnOIllN VI lHE OClOIC IHCtlltOHeQ lHSlQc
story was accepted SO generally to-
day that various possibilities began to
look to their guns. The three State
Senators from Alameda County have
ambitions in that direction-G. r. Lu-
kens. ]. r. Knowland and F. w. Leav-
itt They seem to think that the chances
OF Metcalf's entering the Cabinet are
so good that they are out looking
around so that they may be ready TO
meet the emergency. Then, Senator
Charles NJ. Belshaw of Contra Costa
and Lieutenant Governor Alden Ander-
son both feel themselves qualified to
fill Metcalf's shoes. and they are try
ing to learn how they can secure the
nomination, with Alameda County an
overwhelming majority In the Congress
sional convention.
1t is pointed out that such an
appointment would be an ideal one
for Congressman Metcalf and for the
politicians of the State at large. 1t is
acknowledged that Congressman Met
calf has an ambition to enter the United
States Senate, the only point at issue
being whether he will be candidate
next spring or four years from now,
when Senator Perkins term expires.
Should he enter the Cabinet now he
would have four years to serve. This
would make his candidacy just right at
the end of the present term of Senator
Perkins. 1t would also clear the pres
ent Senatorial sky.

CHRONIC COUGHS
OFTEN THE BEGINNING OF CON,
 SUMPTION.
Our Local Druggist, William H. Hull Guarantees yinol Will Cure Them.

l
 Said Druggist Hull: This is the sea- son for coughs and colds, and for the benefit of New Haven people I want to tell them the best means for cure
 Don't dose the stomach with cough syrups. It's no use. They only soothe little, upset the stomach and do not heal at all
 aThe best cure we know of is Vinol, which contains in a highly concentrat- ed form all of the healing, curative ele- ments taken from genuine fresh cods' livers, without drop of oil or grease to upset the stomach and retard its work. It contains no sickening drugs whatever. Vinol is splendid for lung or bronchial cought It heals, cures and strengthens the sore lungs and bron- chial tubes. It makes rich, red blood, builds up the appetite and creates strength; in fact it is the best remedy we have ever sold in our store, for chronic coughs, colds, bronchitis, and all lung affections.
 Besides the large number of New Haven people who have been cured and made well and strong by Vinol, we re- ceive many letters like the following:
 .FIon. H. Mason, of Jacksonville, Fla, writes: "A couple of months ago con- tracted a severe cold, which it seemed impossible to cure. It settled on my lungs, causing a hard cough, which kept me awake nights, and soon weak ened my system so that was unable to attend to my duties. Vinol was rec commended to me by a friend and be- gan to take it as directed. The second night had only one coughing spell and within a week was iior disturbed once during the night.
 Naturally my progress was fast after this, and my lungs healed rapidly my strength returned, and gained in flesh and health. In fact. this nedi- cine restored me to perfect condition, and now feel much better and young CT than have for years. certainly think it is wonderful remedy to build up a run down system.
 We ask every person in New Haven who has a chronic cough or hard cold to try Vinol on our guarantee to return their money if they are. not satisfied" l-Hull's Corner Drug Stores.
