made sores. finally used the Cuticurs Soap

q good one. While the committee did

Representatives Of the school board

POLITICS
SIZZLING"

Attorney William Weiser of Wheel
er & Weiser, returned home at noon
today after an absence of seven
weeks. during which time he enjoyed
one of the most delightful vacations
Imaginable.
Accompanied by Mr.. and Mrs. Will
lam j. Meyer of this city, Mr.. Weiser
made tour through the south, visit
ing Atlanta, New Orleans and other
big cities and then the party sailed
for Cuba and spent some time on that
island, making extensive trips inland.
Cuba is certainly a Garden of
Eden" declared Mr. Weiser. Il new
er saw a prettier country or a finer
climate and the visit to Cuba was
one of the richest treats of my life
time"
Returning. Palm Beach and other
Florida resorts were visited.
Mr., Weiser and the Meyers then
visited the eastern states, spending
most of the time in Philadelphia,
Reading and other Pennsylvania cit
les. They spent day with Mrs
Hannah Bunting, mother, and Mr.
William Bunting, brother of the late
l. N. Bunting, at Pottstown, Pa.
Mr.. Weiser returns home in fine
health. The Meyers are still east
and will return next week.
Mr.. Weiser states that, notwith-
standing reports, he returns home a
bachelor.
What about politics." The Senti-
mel asked Mr.. Weiser this afternoon.
Politics is sizzling" declared Mr.
Weiser. Il was able to get a pretty
good idea of the eastern and south
arn sentiment as result of my long
tour. That Taft is the popular Re-
publican candidate with the members
of that party in the east, there can
be no doubt. There is no overwhelm-
ing Roosevelt sentiment in the east
and, of course, none in the south
From all | could learn and see Roose-
Welt has but very little show of get
ting the Republican nomination. The
great majority of the Republicans of
the east are loyal to Taft, and believe
he should be renominated. 1t looks
like Taft to me. as far as the nomi-
nation is concerned"
Harmon and Wilson are popular
Democratic candidates at this time
in the east and south. Each has a
great following" continued Mr. Weis-
er. You don't hear much talk at
this time in the east about Champ
Clark. There is more Underwood than
Clark talk. The feeling that this is
a Democratic year is very, very strong
indeed, and it is generally admitted
that the Democratic congress is maxi
ing a splendid record. 1t looks to me
as if the nominee will be either Har-
mon or Wilson"
