WHAT WILLIAMSON THINKS
OF BEING A CANDIDATE

Hon. Albert VI. Williamson, candi-
Gate for COnsressman-at-l who
speaks tonight in behalf of his candi-
dacy, says the following in regard to
this business of running for Office in
the last issue of his paper, the Jack
sOnville Floridian:
when your train is four hours
late in getting to an appointment and
sou are up till the wee sma' hours the
following night and have to leave
again at 4 a. m. you recall what the
lrishman said of his hope of becoming
a millionaire. He declared he would
go to the Waldorf-AstOria and leave
instructions to have him called ev-
cry morning at o'clock.
when asked why he wanted to be
called at such an unreasonable hour,
ne replied. SO can tell the bell boy
to get to h out of here. DON'T
HAVE 10 get up.
do You know, it really brOadens a
man, and makes him better and
more useful citizen. There is de-
gree of excitement or diversion that's
really charming. Of course, there are
some embarrassments. We meet Oc-
casionally smart Alex who al
ready knows it all. In such cases we
can only pass him up for a fool and
let him go at that. But never yet
have we met a man in this campaign
who was such non cOmpOs mentis
that we could not learn something
from his conversation.
I'VE find the man in the country
is cOmparably better posted and edu-
Gated upon the issues of the day than
the sO-called business man. of the
city or town He reads and he d.
gests and assimilates what he reads
far more readily than his friend in
the town.
"The world at large is becoming
more enlightened and better. Hard
surfaced roads are playing the leading
role In the drama Rural free delivery
is doing good work. The Parcels Post
or Parcels Express will do still more
The city and country are getting close
together. The primary election is
like death. It's great equalizer.
THAT dear old poet said something
about:
" III" leaves cf the oak and the will
low shall fade,
Be scattered around ard togcthc"
be laid,
And the young and the old and the
low and the high,
shall meuldcr to dust and together
shall lie
Tn" primary doesn't drag anybody
down but it brings all mankind into
one grand, glorious brotherhood. on
Il higher and better plane
Sometimes it forces the candidate
to eat out Of the hard of the voter
like a pet squirrel.
But, believe me. it's good thing,
IT comes high. A hundred dollar bill
won I last rs long as Pat STAYED in
the army. But we meet the people
and we make them our friends nal
matter whether they want to be or
not"

Weighted Skirts Out of Favor.

The old-time way of weighting coats
skirts and panels with lead weights the size
OF a quarter or q dollar has gone out OF
favor in the most fashionable dressmaking
establishments. And no woman is sorry, for
she well remembers the torture Of having
those huge weights in the bottom Of her skirt
knock against her ankles at every step.
Nearly all the shops carry q weight tape.

tape. There is no difnculty in cutting 4
and It is easily sewn along the edge Of a
garment between the material and the facing.

However, you can make this new weight
yourself. Buy some shot and some silk rib
bon binding about half inch wide and make
q casing Of two pieces. Measure your
skirt all around the lower edge and cut
the casing by the measurement, allowing a
little more for turning In the ends. FIJI the
casing with shot, turn the ends under and
