MERCER DEMOCRATS
MAKING A VIGOROUS
FIGHT FOR CONGRESS
Encouraged by Dissatisfac-
ton Among Adversaries
Over Renewed Activity of
Men Who Brought About
Previous Defeats.

TRENTON, oct. iO,--word has gone out
that Mercer County and the ith Con-
gressional District must be won for the
Democrats at all cost in order that the
Administration of President Wilson may
not be rcpudated in Ms home county
and home district. The Democrats are
baslng their hopes of victory largely on
dissatisfaction in the ranks of former
Republicans anxious to return to their
old allegiance but dssuaded from doing
so by the acticity OF repudiated leaders.
This. the Democrats believe, will work
well for the candidacy of Allan B.
Walsh the present Congressman. Re-
publicans who went away from the party
to the Progressives or to the Democrats
because of opposition to the old leaders
are saying now that these leaders are
seelingl to get back in power and that
they cannot do so with their votes.
The Republican party so far has been
inactive. No meetings have been held
until this evening. when a delegation Of
politicians from this place will visit Re-
publican Hightstown to participate in n
meeting of the old-fashoned type.

sastio receptions Of the present can-

Doctor Brumbaugh will make several
speeches today in Cambria County. Plans
have been made at every stop for his re-
ception by large audiences. A torchllght
parade, with brass bands and many
mounted men in line and numerous ban-
ners flying, preceded the meeting hers
last night.
Friends Of good government regarded
the evening address NJ the gubernatorial
candidate as especially significant In view
uf the fact that he reached here on the
same train with United states Senator
Boies Penrose, who also spoke.

FOOTWEAR AND. GOWNS.
For the ballroom I would advise girls
to wear medium high French heels. They
look so much better than low heels. and
after all we all try to look as pretty as
we can. High shoes are to be recon-
mended whenever It Is possible to wear
them. The support they give the ankles
is very beneficial. and sec no reason
why they should not be worn at after
noon teas.
Massage is a great thing for the legs
and ankles, and would advise girls to
use witchhazel or alcohol. Personally 1
always use witch hazel. Tight corsets
are undoubtedly injurious, and all the
more so when the wearer wants to dance.
think the elastic gowns are great things,
as there seems to be just enough pressure
to make one comfortable
zone thing all dancers should learn, and
that is to breathe properly. There Is no
reason why dancing should mako one out
of breath that is, as soon as We have
done enough of It. I would not go so
far ns to say that the tango breath will
be the latest thing in the modern dancing
line"

TELL OF STOPPING AT ST. JAMES HOTEL Dispositions Being Taken Here in Baltimore
 Hotel Suit

That Senator John H. Bankhead will did not pay the St. James hotel, Balti- more. the sum the management of the St. James declares was due it as a TO- suit of it's entertainment of the Under wood Marching cluh in June. 1912, Is indi- cated in the fact that local attorneys are at the present time engaged in taking. deposition of witnesses.
 As is remembered. Senator Bankhead contracted with the Eutaw hotel for the entertainment of Alabamians who were expected to attend the Baltimore conven- ton in the interest of the presidential candidacy of Oscar W. Underwood Fire destroyed the Eutaw, and the manage ment offered the St. James with the provision, it is understood fin Birming- ham, that accommodations equally as good or certainly acceptable would be tendered. Senator Bankhead accepted the offer.
 The members of the marching club found the St. James diapidated old hostelry, in which there were no modern conveniences. Five and six men occu- pied rooms. As a result, many who had contracted to remain there. left after a trial, and as a consequence. there was not as large a sum of money turned in to meet the obligations as was antici- pated. The St. James sued Senator Bank head, and the suit will soon be brought to trial.
 Local people gave evidence throughout yesterday and will continue to do so today in the case. their deposltions to be for warded to the court in Baltimore. Much interest is displayed by those who testi- fled, and 1t Is safe statement that the St. James has received or will receive very few, if any, 'bouquets.

CASE AGAINST WADE
 IS NO[[E PROSSED
Was Indicted With Jones Boys and Watson for the
 Murder of Negro

For the want of prosecution the case against John Wade, who was one of the four white men indicted for the murder tain sometime ago, was nolle pressed in the first division of the criminal court by Judge Greene on the recom- mendation of the solicitor.
 Wade was jointly indicted with Ar thur Jones. Walter Jones and Will Wat son for the murder of the negro. The indictments followed an investigation by a special coroner's jury, which also made an investigation of the numerous killings that had occurred in and about Lewisburg. which caused it to be named Bloody Beat 22.S The evidence against the four white men was first given by Teck Duncan, who recently died in prison, and who gained much notoriety during the several trials and investigations.
 Probably for the first time in the his- tory of the state two white men, Ar thur Jones and Will Watson, paid the extreme penalty of the law for the mur- der of a negro, while Walter Jones re- ceived a life sentence for the same crime. Walter Jones was hanged later for another murder The particulars of the killing of the negro were particu- larly revolting
 The evidence showed that Wade was compelled to go with the other three men, but that he took no part in the killing. He was used as a states wit ness at the trial of the other defend-
