BELIEVE CURE FOR
CANCER IS FOUND

Albany, n. Y, February ia strong
hope OF curing cancer, or at least
greatly aneliorating the condition OF
cancer patients by means of inoccula,-
ton, is held out in the report Of Har-
vey II. Gaylord, director of the Cancer
Laboratory Of the state Department of
Health at Buffalo. This hope is based
on extended experimentation during
the past year in the incubation or
vaccination of various animals, mainly
rats. with the cancer virus.

where the resistance If the animal is
not sufficiently awakened by one In
oculation of the tumor. this resist
ancc can be heightened by repeated
doses, and, In a considerable propor-
ton of cases, immunity can be raised

cure.
''It is needless to point out that this
process OF repeated vaccination. which

.Don't Excuse, Get Work Donc.y

Washington, u. c., February 13.-
After having spent q quiet morning In
New York City President TAFT return
ed to Washington Tonight to find that
his speech last evening before the
Republican Club at its Lincoln day
dinner had kept tho national legls.a-
tors busy In discussing 1t the whole
day long. The President, had planned
the speech n week or more ago. It
was one of the longest he had ever
made, and covered his attitude on prac-
tically every issue that is pending in
Congress. or that has come IN since
his administration began. Mr.. Taft
purposely made tile scope a wide one.
for he felt that statement Of his
views was wanted. Now that he has
had his way, 1t is declared his purpose
is to get to work on Congress in the
interest of the measures he has recon-
mended In fact, 1t is said that in con-
nection with his speech and his plans
for the immediate future the President
to-day quoted q saying by Jowett.
head master of Ballot. ut Oxford when
he advised a young man:
Don't excuse: don't explain: get 1t
done, let ON yell
So far as he can, the President said
he was going to get 1t done" and in
the meantime would 'lct 'em yell.'
News which reached Washington OF
the conference of the Republican lead
ers in New York yesterday, participat-
ed in by the President and by Cover
nor Hughes. tends to confirm the state
ments of last night that possible cam
didates for Governor of the State did
not enter into the discussion. It is said
that the President and Governor
Hughes occupy positions that are al
most Identical, in that both are deeply
interested in the candidate to be
named. but that Mother will take an
active part in his selection. Neither
Mr.. Taft nor the Governor, it is posi-
lively stated here, has indicated q
choice.
The Republican leaders assured the
President that they were anxious that
the nominee should be a man who
could be supported by Governor
Hughes without reservation OF any
sort. The President declared at the
dinner last night that the loss OF Gov
ernor Hughes as q candidate meant
the loss OF the greatest asset the
party had in the State.
Governor Hughes assured the Pres
ident that the outlook in the state as
he viewed 1t was not so bad as had
been pictured. He declared that the
scandal Ut Albany must DO gone
through with. and that excelsior must
be made of any "cancerous growth" I'm

nor thought the people would rally to
