PUBLIC DEBATE
councilmanic Candidate Replies
to Charges of Democratic
Ward Leaders.

Richard j. Kelley, Wilson candi-
date for the Democratic nomination
in the Fourth ward. Orange, today
replied to the charges made against
him last week. by the Democratic
executive committee of 4he ward
which is backing Councilman Owen
P. Casey. He refused to debate in
public with the ward leaders.
THE gentlemen opposing my an
didaey appear to entertain a poor
conception of municipal government.
They seem to think that the first, If
not the only duty of the legislative
apportion the offices, and that the Of
fees are well apportioned only when
they dictate the appointments.
When a member of the Common
Council, ! endeavored to secure for
the Fourth ward a just proportion of
municipal appointments-and / sue
ceeded. In SO doing ] incurred the
hostility of some of my present oppo-
nents, who seemed to be most inter-
ested in placing the appointments in
wards other than their own. l regard
such appointments as Incidental, and
not as constituting all the elements of
good municipal government.
"A scurrilous circular was distribut-
ed among the voters of this ward last
week by five gentlemen signing them
the Executive Committee of
the Fourth Wards' l am invited to
discuss certain statements and insin-
uations contained in this circular, in a
hall selected by the parties already
referred to- / have no desire to dis
cuss the improved and ~unprovable
contained in this circular,
in the manner suggested by this com
but / shall he glad to answer
any questions directed to me by any
voter of this ward.
"The opposition TO my candidacy Is
due to the. fact that during my term
as alderman ! tried to fill the office in
the interest of all the people, to the
best of my ability, as my conscience
dictated. and not as a few self-styled
leaders tried to dictate"

Whiskey Tires
on Kaiser'S Auto

CHICAGO, Sept. 23.-Emperor
william of Germany rides in an au-
tomobile, the tires of which are made
from a substance extracted from
whiskey, according to DR.. II. A.
Bernson, head of the chemistry de-
partment of Heidelberg University,
who with 300 other scientists is in
Chicago to attend the eighth annual
international congress OF applied
chemistry.
He declares that rubber has been
made from whiskey for several years

in Germany, and that recently a
set of automibile tires so made were
presented to Emperor William.
According to Mr.. Benson, the pro-
cess of manufacture is intricate. BY
special processes of fermentation the
scientists increase the amount of
rusel oil In whisIey. then extract
the oil and use it in place of the
raw gum that is tapped from rub

the rumor of his appointment as per-
manent postmaster. He says he has

had been made or would be until
after the primaries.
II was SAID that the office Is being
held open for County Clerk John B.
Woolston in the event that he is not
reelected to his present position.
There was another rumor that tho
appointment would surely be made
before next week. Upon the death OF
Mr., Mitchell Mr.. Hilton, his prede-
cessor. who was appointed by Presi-
lent Cleveland. offered his services.
and has held the office since, turning
over his salary to Mrs. Mitchell.
