two respects: First, because IL was
one OF the shortest sessions Of the

and the representatives of the press

litlcul statements were Issued w. l.

adopted not only requires the author
ity OF the State committee 10 make
valid the election Of delegates in the
states which by law have provided
for presidential primaries. but per-
mits tho State committee TO order the
selection OF delegates contrary TO law
in defiance OF the wishes OF the people
OF those States iby caucus and conyen-
ton. This applies not only to the
States In which there is legal provision
for presidential primaries, but to
states like Ohio and Pennsylvania
where the law requires that district

To Remove Blotchy,
Muddy or Sallow Skin
From Beauty and Healthy

To remove sallowness, muddiness,
freckles, blotchcs or any complexion diff
fculty, the best thing to do is. to remove
the skin ITSELF This is easily, painlessly
and inexpensively done by the applica-
ton Of ordinary mcrcolized wax, procur-
able at any drug store. The wax absorbs
the defective outer skin, a little each day,
gradually bringing the CUTS or second
layer Of skin, to the surface. The pores
are unclogged and the face breathes in the
life-giying oxygen. The new skin is
beautifully soft and white, bearing the
healthy glow Of youth.
Just apply the wax as you would cold

morning wash i off with warm water,

Washington, d. c.. December Ia
Tho night for the control OF the Repub-
lican National Convention will begin
early In January, when the first steps

is quite evident that the main issue In
the selection OF delegates is TO be the
question of sending Instructed or I'M

The one hope of the anti Taft Repub-
licans lies In their being able to work
up sentiment In the States favora Bile

The administrations supporters are
fully aware OF this program and OF its

energies to instructing the delegates

submit the bylaws and constitution
which will be adopted.

instances the removal of dams will be
requested by the association. A full

requested by the heads Of the respec-
tive organizations. Several new mem
