GOVERNOR THREATENS
OPTION OPPONENTS
SAYS He Will Take Part in City
Mayoralty Campaign if Bill
Is Defeated.

News from Harrisburg this morning that
Governor Brumbaugh is planning to take
an active part In the mayornlty campaign
in this city II the Legislature falls to pass
the local option bill has caused no little
dismay among Republican Organization
leaders here who have been opposing To-
cal option. The announcement has offset
the gain for the anti-loca option forces
In tho oren opposition of Senator Nc
Nichol and Senator Crow to the Govern
or's bill.
Organization leaders admit that the
local option question has assumed a far
wider Significance than before with the
injection OF the Philadelphia Mayoralty
contest at issue. Meanwhile, interest CEN
tres in the meeting of the House Law and
Order Committee today, which will con-
slider the Governors request that public
hearing on local option he held April 8.
Threatened on one side by the domina-
ton of Senators McNiChol and Grow and
on the other by the power of Governor
Brumbaugh a number OF the legislators
in this city are wobbllnE about in a
frantic attempt to determine which side
they will support.
AS an indication of their uneasiness and
uncertainty, letter from Representative
John McClntock, from the 21st District
West Philadelphia. to e. Harold Boud-
win. a 46th Ward voter was made public
yesterday.
"Tf I represented my church," Repre-
sentative McClintock wrote, ut would be
very easy for me to determine how 1
should vote; but, instead. l represent the
people of the 2lst Legislative District"
Pointing out that local option was not
a plank in the platform upon which he
was elected, McClintOck then indicated
he probably would oppose the bill. since
he believed the weight of the sentiment
in his district was against local option.

The boys know that new and painfully

with suspicion. They say that when an

egg which has lost it's youth often causes

TOO MUCH SPRING TONIC

Too much spring tonic is worse than
none at all This was proved by the
experience OF Bernard Fertile and his
wife, irene, S29 Locust avenue. Both are
In the Jewish Hospital as a result of an
overdose of the drug, but recovered to-
day.
Believing that is was time for tonic.
Fertile bought bottle last night, and he
and his wife each drank a wine glass
full Of 1t. When friends called both were
found unconscious on the dining room
floor The directions suggested a table
spoonful In a glass OF water. but Fertile
was under the impression that glassful
of the medicine would bring more beneti-
cial results.

here from the commander of the liner st,

time the Manhattan appeared coming up
from the east.
Within three hours the Megantic, La
