VOTERS GUST MAYOR
nv PLURALITY OF 1900 VOTES
n. c. GILL WAS RE-
CALLED.
WOMEN LARGELY AGAINST HIM
Charges Made That Mayor and CHIEF
of Police Were Farming Out vice
Privileqes-Heavy Socialist vote
Cast Estimated at 5000.

Seattle. Wash, Feb. 9.-Mayor
Hiram C. Gill, who was elected last
March by a plurality of $500 votes
was recalled for alleged misconduct IN
ONCE by plurality estimated at 4'Voo'
the votes OF the women who We're
recently enfranchised in the state OF
washington, admittedly being largely
responsible for this result.
George billing was elected over
Mayor Gill and will take Office imme-
diately to serve out the unexpired
part of Gilps term. One hundred pre-
cincts out of 153 gave Dilling 1904
and Gill 17,124. A very large proper
ton of the $4,000 women who regis
tered, cast their ballots and to them
il given all the responsibility or cred
1t for the recall.
II was alleged by the recall leaders
that Gill and Charles Wappenstein,
chief of police, had farmed out the
vice privileges to a syndicate and had
collected large percentage Of the re-
ceipts of the syndicate.
The women were extremely active
in the election. They stood in lines
at the booths, and appeared to be as
apt and quick at casting their votes
as the more experienced men voters.
4 surprise of the day was the heavy
Socialist vote which probably will
reach 5000.
Mayor Gill's troubles began the mo-
ment he announced that he would ap-
point Charles Wappenstein as chief of
police. Wappenstein had been dis
missed from the Office of chief of de-
tectives in Cincinnati and later had
been dismissed as chief of detectives
of Seattle after an investigation OF
his office. He had also been involved
in the scandal that led to the shooting
Of former Chief of Police Meredith in
a street fight in this city.
Pressure was brought to bear upon
| the mayor to remove Wappenstein,
and Wappenstein later sought to re-
sign. AS soon as 1t was announced
last November that the woman suf-
| frage amendment to the constitution
| mad been adopted, the movement to
recall Mayor Gill, under provision OF
| the city charter, took active form, and
the women entered vigorously into the
campaign.

BLOOD TROUBLES
CONSTITUTIONAL INFECTION

Constitutional Blood Poison is the
most insidious of all diseases. 1t
begins in an insignificant manner,
usually the appearance of a tiny sore
being the only outward evidence of it's
presence. But down in the blood the
treacherous infection is at work, and
in short time its chain of symptoms
begin to crop out. The mouth and
throat ulccrate, skin eruptions break
out, sores and ulcers appear on the
body, the glands in the groin swell,
and sometimes the hair comes out.
Mineral medicines cannot cure Con-
stitutional Blood Poison; they only
shut the disease up in the system to
shoulder and await an opportunity of
breaking out afresh. The only pos
sible way to cure the disease IS to
REMOVE the germs from the blood.
