arguments advanced On Tuesday
night. Mr.. Miller said
MIR. Miller's Speech.
THE war in Europe and peace in
America are the themes upon which the
Democratic orators are going before the
county in their speeches during the pres
ent campaign. A far more serious strife
is at hand in America and that is the
struggle for existence which under fav-
orable conditions is hard enough as all
of US well know. The European war
has been going on ten weeks, but the
Democratic war in this country has
been going on eighteen months and the
industrial hospitals in this country con-
tain large number of those who are
suffering and injured, than the war nos
pitals in Europe. The war in this
country has been fought by legislation
and the injured are continually before
us in the unemployed.
q mention at the opening, the war in
Europe, because our opponents are pur-
suing course parallel TO their cam
paign in 1910 when through the ques-
tion of the big cost of living they man
aged to influence a large number of vot-
ers to come into their ranks In that
campaign the voters were told that
should the Democratic party be put in
power the high cost of living would be
reduced The National House of Rep
resentatives was carried that year and
two years later due to a division in the
Republican party, and by minority
vote the Democratic party was given
full control of the government In their
platform on the high cost of living a
solemn pledge was given that it would
be reduced The marks show today
that it has come up considerably and
as all of us here tonight can well tes-
tify. We do not maintain that the
Republican party can reduce the cost

ARM philippines
PREPARATORY TO
POSSIBLE BREAK
By The United Press.

by lhe lnltcu ffehs.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 23-While War
Department officials we're unanimous
today in agreeing there is no ex-
traordinary excitement over the far
eastern situation, they egreed that
the Philippines are being armed and
provisioned rapidly. The reason for
this is a comprehensive armament
plan, sanctioned by Congress, but a
high official of the army general
staff admitted that the Far Eastern
question lends some background to
the activity.
Ammunition, which two years ago
was insufficient for one days brisk
fighting in the islands, has been re-
plenished. Just how much is now
on hand, the general STAFF wculd not
divulge for military reasons. Cor
regidor Fort, a strong defensive point
on the island coast is understood to
be undergoing heavy provisioning.
The chief complication the Far
Eastern problem has lent thus far
in the islands is the haTboring of
unneutral vessels, many Of which it
has been suspected sought to use
the Philippines as a base of supplies
for vessels at sea.
The armament plan If the islands,
as outlined by a staff officer today
is that the islands shall be so strong
ly equipped that they can Withstand
an assault until such a time as the
navy could arrive and use the islands
as an offensive base. II is under
stood that arms, ammunition and
men are now up to the full legal
quota.

REPUBLICANS FERRET
INTO REGISTRATIONS;
UNCOVER MANY FRAUDS

found that several men had register
ed from addresses that turned out to
be vacant houses.
So general are the above instances
that have come to the attention of
Republican workers that they have
arrived at the conclusion that there
is a concerted plan on the part Of the
Democrats to pad the registration
lists, in order that Democratic re-
peaters can try to vote on the fraudu-
lently registered names on election
day.
Some Of the men who registered
from addresses at which they do not
live have been traced to Philadelphia,
which adds to the suspicion Of fraud
TO aid the Democrats.
An application will be made by the
Republicans before Judge Rice in
court next week 10 have many names
stricken off the registration lists In
instances where the men who regis
tered do not live at the addresses
they gave TO the registration officers.
Evening journal., 1914-10-23

What looks like a concerted plan
for the operation of Democratic re-
peaters on election day has been dis
covered by the Republicans, and
some interesting developments may
result
Padded registration lists have been
discovered in all parts oi the city
by Republican investigators.
Names that got on the registration
books and that seemed suspicious are
being inquired into Oy Republican
workers, with startling results.
Not in one district, but IN many,
are these registrations that have
every semblance Of fraud being dis
covered.
Men registered from Eouses where
it has been learned they 6id not live
and never had lived. From one
house alone twelve men we're regis
tered, and it has been discovered
that not one of the twelve ever
lived there.

was arrested Thursday with DIR. Fl. K.
Lutz and Miss Lucy d. Orr, alias
Damms. alias Bennett, in connection
with the county detectives raid on the
House of Mystery" i'll Bellevue, was
strengthened yesterday by the posi-
tive identification of the fur coat and
small satchel found in Miss Orr's room
as the property of Mrs. Myrtle Allison,
of Williamsburg, who disappeared a
year ago. Bail aggregating 1922 900
was furnished to obtain the release of
the trio.
The Identification of the two articles
is considered by the district attorney
most damaging evidence against the
proprietor of the alleged private ma

Mrs. Allison, who is believed to have
died in the house. These included the
salesman who sold the coat to her and
the nurse who attended her in DR..

Girls--it you want plenty of thick.
beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all
means get rid OF dandruff, for it will
starve your hair and ruin it if you
don't.

way to get rid of dandruff is to dis
solve it, then YOU destroy it entirely.
To do this, get about four ounces Of
ordinary liquid arVon; apply it at
night when retiring; use enough to
moisten the scalp and rub it in gently
with the finger tips.
BY morning, most II not ALL of your
dandruff will be zone, and three or
tour more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy, every
single sign and trace of it,
You will find, too, that ali itching
and digging of the scalp will stop, and
your hair will be silky, fluffy, lustrous,
soft. and look and feel a hundred
times better. You can get LIQUID ar
von at any drug store. 1t is inexpen-
sive and four ounces is all you will
need, no matter how much dandruff
YOU have. This simple remedy never
sails.-Advertisemen
