Fels-Naptha soap is the best and east
est way of washing. If Fels-Naptha didn't
do what we say it will, no woman would
buy a second cake. Yet more than mil
lion women use Fels-Naptha every wash
day. And the number is increasing as fast
as It's value becomes known.
If you haven't used Fels-Naptha, try
it, according to directions, and on the
result we'll stake our chance of making
you regular user. For your white things,
soap, roll and soak for thirty minutes in
cold or lukewarm water-no boiling or hot
water Then rub lightly, rinse and hang
out to dry. That's all.

?. GEORGE
NEW FREEHOLDER
REGULARS BEATEN
Combine of Progressives and
Democrats Lands Lent Sup
porter in Position.

The Regular. Republican candidate
for Freebooter, to I'll the vacancy
cAused by the resignation of Harry b
O,Connell. was defeated in the election
held at the Common Council meeting
last night. and instead q LeiitI man,
supported by the Progressive Republi-
cans and the Democrats, was put in
the place. He IS Henry p, George, OF
the Sixteenth Ward. He was opposed
by Gustave l.. Kimmerle, of the same
ward. The vote was 20 to II, Alder
man Cairns being absent because of III
| ness.
The Regulars, through Majority
Leader wohlfarth, made a fight to
have the election go over for another
| month on the ground that as the
City Clerk had not been notified OF the
, vacancy, the election would be illegal.
! Alderman .Congleton commended that as
! the City Clerk had been present at the
last Council meeting when MT. o'Con-
nell rendered his resignation, he had
knowledge of the action and the cleo
ton might proceed. Otherwise, no
said, the clerk of the Board of Free
holders might hold up the election for
years, as there was no time mentioned
IT, the statute in which notification
should be forwarded to the city au-
thorities. Nv
The Dalrymple forces in the Six
teenth Ward were behind ,Kirnmerle IN
his fight. consisting of Frank e. Daven-
port and five other elective members
OF the ward executive committee.
George was supported by Lent and
Colby adherents, represented in the
committee by Assistant Prosecutor
Frederick r. Lehlbach, and five other
members.
Previous to the Council meeting an
attempt was made to caucus on the
matter. Several Republicans refused,
however. SO. the gathering resolved it
self into~a conference, in which there
were twelve votes for Kimnerle and
six for George. In the meantime the
Democrats had caucused and agreed to
stand by George,
George was nominated by Alderman
Hopping, Alderman MCGOWAN second
ing. Alderman Wohlfarth Immediately
objected. President Pennington brought
the argument to a close by announcing
that George had been nominated and
calling for further names. Wolllfarth
at nee nominated Kifnmerle. q poiut
that McGowan took advantage of by
calling h attention of the other MEM
bers to the fact that while Wohlfarth
thought the election Illegal, he had,
by making his nomination, made him
self a party TO it,
Il suppose he has seen his error"
Haie MCGOWAN.
George received the votes cf thirteen
.be..ocrats, and of Aldermen. Congleton.
Taylor. Baum. Hopping, Hopper and
WHIT old. of the Prpgresives, and of
Alderman Grice, of the First Ward.
