William h. Badger, of Pittshurg, and

young men. lost their lnes at the In
ternational Aviation meet here TO-DAY
In dying, both revealed the frailty OF
the craft in which two score more
aviators were curving and gliding
about the air with scarcely pause FOR
the deaths of their contemporaries.
Death I'M both cases was due to un-
expected accidents, probably the re-
suits of unsuspected defects i'm the
mechanism of the machines.
Badger, wealthy youth, came 20
his death in the pit of the aviation
field. There had been a flaw in one
of the wings of the propeller, upset the
delicate equilibrium of the machine
and Badger dashed 100 feet to the
bottom of the pit. His neck was brok
en-.
Johnston fell 500 feet under his en-
gine and was drowned. Caught un-
,der the heavy engine in the Moisan,
monoplane. he was carried deep into
Lake Michigan and his body was not
brought to the surface until an hour
later.
Badger lived three-quarters OF an
hour after he had been extriCated
from the wreck of his machine. He
did not recover consciousness. His
death was the first serious accident
of the meet, although thirtv-five fly,
ers have dipped and glided here for
three days, and experts say several
similar accidents have been narrowly

toed resolution, Chairman Flood
promising prompt action.
With the announcement of the
PRESIDENTS veto and following a con-
ference with President Taft, Senator
Smith of Michigan, chairman of the
senate territories committee, intro
duced q new statehood resolution,
meeting the presidents views and
providing Tor the admission of both
states on condition that Arizona
strike the recall of judges provisions
from it's new constitution.
"rhe territories need statehood and
this Is the only way they can obtain
it, said Mr.. Smith.
A canvass of the house of represen-
tatives was in progress today. Chair
man Flood expressed the opinion that
his resolution could secure two-thirds
of the house membership on re-
passage, but many democrats are
not so confident.
In case the attempt to override the
veto fails there ahe many democrats
in the house who witt support a reso-
luton similar to the one introduced
by Senator Smith.

you for mayor, you can bet your last
dollar that you're the man it wants.
See o.

why have any convention at all. Why
have any committee of a hundred?
Why have anybody but you, Mr.. Ben

the pause appreciable, land your CO.

a matter of fact? Why don't you and
Mr.. Liffey, who believe holds some
what analogous position to yours in
the other party, get together with two
able coadjutors like those you have
brought and settle the question what
the people are going to have?"
Well, Mr.. Gormly, since you put it
that way said Benson coolly, ''if 1
was a little stronger than l am, if
this city wasn't so hopelessly in Char
ley Liffey's grasp, that's about what
we'd do. Now, we think that you've
got certain elements of strength with

can be elected or not. I'm speakin'
frankly now, gentlemen, and as prac-
tical politician; but 1 believe you're
more apt to be elected than anybody
else, if we can get a fair count, or
count the ballots ourselves, which is
more or less doubtful with Liffey in
power. and therefore we want you for
our candidate. because we think we
can win.
'Lifey has been in power SO long
that he amt even decent. He amt
willing to take a fair, respectable
graft; he wants everything. But
when it comes down to talkin' bust
ness with the candidate in his private
office, the best thing is the whole
truth. Certainly it's important from
one point of view that we should win

through its leaders declared that it in
tended to make him it's candidate; 9TH
er smaller parties proposed to fall in

mense benefit in taking off his hands
the details and minutiae of political
campaigning, about which he was sup
posed to know nothing; that it would

lend dignity to his position. The pur-
pose of this political party, whose in
huence was considerable and whose
ramif1cations were many whose lead
ers were men of experience, was of
course thoroughly well-known.
The conference between these lead
ers and Gormly was short, sharp and
decisive 1t took place in his own

made up of a banker named Poole,
who had certain prominence in mu-

CURE THAT SORE THROAT

Sore throat is Inflammation of the
mucous membrane of the throat, and
If this membrane happens to be at all
sensitive a predisposition to sore
throat will exist.
Paxtine Toilet Antiseptic is both a
preventative and cure for sore
throat because it possesses extraor-
binary cleansing, healing and germi-
cidal qualities. Just a little in glass
of water, used as a gargle, will quick
1y relieve all soreness and strengthen
the mucous membrane of the throat,
and thus overcome all tendency to
sore throat.
Paxtine is far superior to liquid an
tiseptfcs or Peroxide for all toilet and
hygienic uses.
Paxtine may be obtained at any
drug store, rs and SOC box, or sent
