MOOSE REVOLT I'm CONGRESS
Representative Mays, Utah Progress
sive, Speaks For Wilson.

TtSkJEGSSnLGLiNO - Tai
sive, Speaks For Wilson.
| Representative James Fl. Mays of
Utah, in a speech delivered in con-
gress Aug. 25, announced his intention
Of voting for President Wilson. He
left the Republican party because he
found it to be the servant Of special
interests and became one of the found
ers of the Progressive party. He ap-
pealed to Progressives to be true to
| themselves and refuse to be betrayed
to the Republican party.
81 want to compare" he stated, 1.-The
demands Of the Progressives with the
actual performance of the party now
in power. If it can be shown that the
essential principles enunciated by that
platform have been crystalliZed into
! legislation and if the Progressives
were sincere enough in their profess
sion of interest in the supreme needs
! Of the nation to care more for their
country and for it's people than for any
| party's success, then they will sustain
the administration. lest their refusal
to do so might cause the beneficial
legislation to be repealed"
He took up the Progressive platform
| of 1912 and showed that the Wilson
administration has enacted practically
all the Progressive demands into leg
iSlatiOn.
Progressives, he insisted, should sup
port the party that has been tried and
/ found true The representatives of
"the interests" he said, ruled the Re-
publican party in 1910 and 1912 and
''rule it now with even more assurance
and arrogance"
Representative Mays said he had de-
termined to join the Democratic party
because the obituary of the Prog ,es-
stve party seemed only postponed for
trading purposes and because not Q
solitary ray of hope appeared of rene
dial legislation from the Republican
party in the interests of the people
and because the Democratic party, I'M
der its leader, the president, had been
offering convincing proof of its sin
cere interest in the general good by
putting on the statute books a program
OF wise and wholesome legislation"

FOR SERVICES RENDERED,
NOT FOR PROMISES BROKEN.

do not doubt that the people
of the United States will wish
the Democratic party to con-
tinue in control of the govern
ment. They are not in the habit
of rejecting those who have ac-
tually served them for those who
are making doubtful and conjec-
turaI promises of service. Least
of all are they likely to substi-
tute those who promised to rem
der them particular services and
proved false to that promise for
those who have actually rendered
those very services.-From Pres
ddent Wilson's Speech of Accept

BOOSTERS STEWARD
BOOSTS TANLAC
Wants Every Catarrh Sufferer to
Know That 1t Relieved Him
Quickly
t'NOTHING LIKE IT" HE SAYS

THE Boosters Club was formed to
boost our city, says Eugene Buccina,
assistant steward of this progressive
organization, but I guess there won't
be any kick coming if 1 do little
boosting on my own account for the
greatest medicine ever sold in our
town.
81 have suffered for many years
with catarrh of the head and stom-
ach and l was never able to find any
medicine that would give me relief
] couldn't eat enough to keep a SPAR
row alive without suffering intensely
afterwards, l had terrible headaches
day in and day out and I never man
aged to get a good nights rest, for
l would either be restless and roll and
toss most of the night or else 1 would
have horrible dreams that would wake
me up with a start.
II felt weak as a cat all the time
and l hadn't enough ambition to fly
kite, 1 just sort of existed from
day to day.
''I read about Tanlac in the pa
pers but I see SO much advertised
that l don't often read the adver-
tising, but when l saw where two or
three people I knew of had been re-
heved of catarrh I sat up and took
notice and the result was that 1 be-
gan using Tanlac myself
We'll, believe me it's some great
medicine I'll boost Tanlac whenever
get a chance for it sure has fixed me
up in great shape. 1 feel fine 1 fee
like a regular Booster and all thanks
to Tanlac.
My catarrh is practically gone al.
ready, l eat and enjoy the best meals
have had in years and I sleep like
two-year-old with never a bulge
from the time I hit the pillow until
time to get up. There's nothing like
Tanlac and you can tell everybody ]

Washington, Jan. 3.-President Will

row morning at o'clock to take
charge of the new crisis in foreign re-
lations caused by the submarine cam
paign in the Mediterranean with loss
of American life. After conferences
over the telephone between the presi-
dent and Secretary TumuIty and Secre-
tary Lansing, it was announced at the
White House and also at Hot Springs,
Va, the president would arrive here
tomorrow. 1t was state authoritative
ly that the destruction of the British
liner Persia with loss of American
life and the destruction of the British
ship Glengyle had put such a grave
aspect on the relations of the United
States with the Teutonic powers that
the president considered it necessary
to return at once for conferences with
Secretary Lansing and the other MEM
bers of the cabinet.
The situation was described in Off
cial quarters as paralleling the crisis
which was caused by the sinking of
the Arabic, close on Germany's assur-
ances in response to the representa-
tions of the United States on the de-
struction of the Lusitania.
While American officials are keep
ing their minds open until they have

endangered in the sinking of the Glen

London. Jan. 3.-The loss of life in
connection with the sinking of the
British steamship Persia, torpedoed in

afternoon. is still a matter of doubt.
Latest advices from Cairo and AleXan-
dria indicate 15S survivors have been
landed, of whom SO were passengers.
They were picked up by the British
destroyer Mallard, 80 hours after the
ship sunk. Hope that others have
been saved is diminishing, as four days
have now elapsed since the vessel was
destroyed. No further word has been
received concerning Robert n. Nc
Neely, American consul at Alden, Ara
bia, and there seems to be little doubt
he was drowned. The safety of

1t is still impossible to give even
with accuracy the loss of life. as the
number of persons on board has not
been established. The passengers
mum bered more than 200, so with be-

crew, apparently the death list wi

SUIT AGAINST P. U. C.
City Attorney Is Ordered to Begin
Action In Gas Case.

George P. Hayden, city attorney,
was introduced by the city commits
sion this morning to bring suit in the
district court of Shawnee county, to
enjoin the public utilities commission
from enforcing its recent order pro-
hibiting the gas company from fur
nishirg free gas to the city of Topeka.
Under the franchise granted to the
gas company when it sought to do
business in Topeka, the city was to re-
ceive free gas during 1he life of the
contract. The city has been using gas
for lighting and laboratory purposes
for years but the order issued by the
public utilities commission increasing
the gas rate to individual consumers
also cuts off the free gas to cities.
Commissioner w. L. Porter, whose
department must stand the loss, SAYS
it will cost the city several hundred
dollars each year without the free gas.
A similar suit has already been
brought by Atchison where conditions
were the same S in Topeka. The
Atchison case is the one that will he
tried out in the courts but a decision
in that case will determine the Topeka
case.
We don't intend to push the case
VIC will bring" said Mr.. Hayden to-
day, II will simply bring the suit and
allow it to stand pending a decision
in the Atc1ison case. However, we
will render all possible assistance to

is tried We object to having any
thing cut off that is free, particularly
