Childrens Matinee Heart of a Prin
cess and Graft, Isis Today.

Harding has been elected mayor.
The defeated party has retained
enough aldermen to make them a
power in local politics. They wish
to put through deal awarding the
contract for bridge across the
river, which will mean millions of
additional cost to the taxpayers and
big slice of graft for the party. In
order TO jam this contract through,
it is necessary that the mayor be alb
sent from the special meeting that
has been called to consider the mat
ter, for he is sure to oppose it. There
fore plans are laid whereby inter
ference from Harding will be impos-
sible.
