Friends Say Presidents Mes.
sage will Include No Refer.
ence to Subject.


All hope for the passage OF a Federal
Presidential primaries act before the
next Presidential campaign went flick
ering today when II was learned that
the President today Indicated that the
message would not include any refer

Wilson urged the prompt enactment OF
legislation which will provide for pri-
mary elections at which the voters may
choose their nominees for the Presi-
dcncY.
The recommendation Of the President.
which has not been revived by him
since. was In response to O pledge in
the Democr,tic platform committing
the party to Pres'dentiei primaries.
The Pre"id~nt plans to devote all this

What CAUSES COLDS?

This question is asked every day.
A cold is really fever. not always
caused by the weather but often due to
disordered blood or lack of important
food-elements. In changing seasons
fat.foods are essential because they
distribute heat by enriching the blood
and SO render the system better
able to withstand the varying elements.
This is the important reason why
SCOTS Emulsion should always be
taken for colds, and it does more
builds strength to prevent sickness.
SCOTS Emulsion contains Natures
rare strength building fats, so skillfully
blended that the blood profits from
every drop. 1t is free from harmful
drugs or alcohol. Sold at drug stores
always get the genuine.

Contract
AWAIT COURT DECISION

S. NJ. Swaab. the engineer who had
charge Of building the Market street sub
way for the keystone State Construction
Company, will be placed in charge of the
first contract on the Broad street subway.
provided Director Taylor awards the con-
tract for the tunnel under City Hail to
the keystone concern, which was the
.owest bidder for the work. The fact
that this company built the Market street
hish-speed line will be considered by DI-
rector Taylor In awarding the contract. aa
well as the fact that their bid of 81 zoo. 900
was considerably lower than that OF anv
competing concern.
The contract for the work will M, IN
awarded until Judge Ferguson takes nc
tioh upon the petition of CITY Solicitor
ryan that the Dallam injunction suit be
dismissed by the court. While Judge Fer
Euson today said that he had not reached
any decision upon Mr.. Ryan's petition,
the supporters of Director TAYLOR are CON
tdent that the decision of the court viii
be favorable and that the way will he
cleared for real transit construction.
The keystone State Construction Com
pany' In anticipation of being awarded the
contract, is rushing plans to begin digging
on Monday, September 10. Mr. Swaab
said today that the work OF tunnelInp
under City Hall for the Broad street
tubS VIII De Lne most difficult piece of
engineering work ever undertaken in
Philadelphia. In spite of the difficulties,
Mr.. Swaab is confident that the work will
be completed as successfully as YVES that
on the Market street line,
To insure first class work a clause was
placed in the specifications, which will
require that the entire work, Including
the paving on the street above, shall be
Kept in good order and repair for three
years from the time the contract for the
work Is accepted by the building firm.
AS further safeguard for the city the
specifications require that the contractor
shall agree to indemnify and save the CITY
from all suits and actions of every kind
brought on account of the use of patented
appliances or for any injuries received by
any person In the course of the perfor-
nance of work on the contract.
The contractor will be permitted to
employ only American citizens on the
work Director Taylor has estimated
that the construction work on the entire
high-speed program will give employ
ment to n.OOO men, while the manufac-
ture of materials will provide employ
ment for 1000 more. 1t is estimated that
at least 800 skilled workmen will be
needed at once when the subway work
begins on September 13.

Petitions Are Circulated.
Club Booms Him
MAY FORCE OUT PORTER

Colonel Sheldon Potter, Select Council
man from the 22d Ward and leader of
the independents in Select Council, is
looming up as possibility for the inde-
pendent nomination for Mayor.

an active campaign in behalf of his can
didacy and have announced that they will
make n vigorous and well organized cam
paign to win the nomination for him.
Nomination papers are being circulated
for him, especially in Germantown and
West Philadelphia. Many Washington
party leaders who oppose the candidacy
of Director George ID. Porter favor his
candidacy, and many Independent Repub-
licans look upon him as an available
candidate.
Colonel Potter's name was on the lists
of the Public Service Committee of One
Hundred and the committee of business
men who issued the list of IA. The
launching of his boom puts three pos
sble candidates for the Independent
nomination in the field. friends of Di-
rector Porter and Louis j. Kob having
launched booms in their interests several
weeks ago.

right ahead with their campaign regard
less of the delay of the Organization
bosses in disclosing their plans, and to
carefully organize the independent voters
behind the strongest possible candidates.

in the formal announcement of Director
Porter's candidacy within a few days
Nomination petitions are being circulated
for the Director, and he will seek the
nomination on all ballots, If he decides to
run There is considerable opposition to
Porter in the Washington party, however.
The first formal action in regard to an
independent candidate for Mayor was
taken last night by the Washington Party
Committee of the 10th Ward This COM
mittee indorsed Colonel Potter for Mayor.
Resolutions were adopted favoring his
candidacy and urging him to run. Tho
