Columbus, o., Feb. 28-Ohio Repub-
licans have contesting candidates for
delegates-at-large to the national con
vention. The next two months will wit
ness merry mill. The matter has
evolved into a practical referendum on
Governor Willis in his own party. The
real test will be whether or not his
personal machine, aided by old p. Reg
ularity will be able to overcome the
drift. Democrats have no contests in
the state primary.
The trouble in the Willis camp broke
when the harmony agreement was
made with Burton and Daugherty and
a big Four" slate was made. Since
that time there has been considerable
of pulling hither and yon and an effort
was made to have Willis withdraw lest
he hurt the Burton cause. Finally as
a peace offering secret overtures were
made to those who have not been
strong for Governor Willis, and the re-
suit is an elimination contest IL Will
lis wins Burton will have all the dele
gates, as originally slated If Willis
loses, Ralph Tyler, or Matt Glaser, or
Doctor Giffen will win, and Burton will
still have the delegation. If it comes
heads Burton wins, and if comes sails
Willis loses. All candidates are de-
clared for Burton first choice, with
Paul Howland, second choice.
The state of Ohio pays Beecher w
Waltermire, formerly a Chautauqua
lecturer Of Findlay, salary of $4,000
year to act as president of the state
utilities commission. He spends most
of his time travelling around the state
delivering speeches glorifying Gov
ernor Willis and denouncing the news
papers for criticising his administra-
ton. Tho reason for the criticism is
that Governor Willis appoints Chatau-
qua lecturers without any business ex-
pence or personal qualifications to
serve on important state commissions
where trained and sensible men are
required. Mr.. Waltermire's son, COM
ing also from the Eighth district,
draws fat salary as one of the writ

Picking Is Again Filled With
Rumors ofa Street Railway


PEKING, March 6.-Peking is again
alive with rumors that the city is to
have a street railway system. AL
though the city has a population of
about one million inhabitants, it has
never had any sort of street cars. Rick
shaws drawn by coolies afford the
chief means of transportation. Old
fashioned Chinese and Manchs cling
to the clumsy Picking cart, which is a
heavy two-wheel wooden cart, with
cut springs, drawn by single horse or
mule. The cart has an ark-like cover,
under which passengers sit in crouch
ing position. The rider sits on
small extension in frotn of this cover
with his legs dangling at the horses
heels.
Roads about Picking are so bad, and
many Of the streets are so narrow that
automobiles are little used, and even
carriages are not as satisfactory as
richshaws which can worm their way
into the narrowest alleys.
An American company is now re-
ported to have made overtures for the
street car franchise. Several months
ago an English and French combina-
ton was bidding for the street car
privilege in Picking, and at one time it
was reported to have entered into a
contract with the government. The
minister of the interior, Chu Chi-chien,
who is acting director of the Peking
municiality, has called general meet
ing of officials for discussion of the
proposed street car lines. The Chinese
are eager for an improved transporta-
ton system.
Picking has two railway stations
which are on opposite sides of the city,
a distance of more than four miles
apart. This trip requires nearly an
hour in a rickshaw. In the days when
time was of little value to the Chinese,
suggestions concerning electric street
railways were ignored. But now time
has come to be more of factor in Chi
nese life, and there seems to be little
opposition to electric cars.

TENNESSEE SCHOOL TEACHER
HAS FOUND TANLAC TO BE THE
BEST MEDICINE HE EVER TRIED

Of the thousands of letters that have
recently been received at the Tanlac
Office from we'll known men and wom-
en-, who have been benefited by this
medicine, none are more interesting
than the one received this week from
S. R. Luton, at Bumpus Mills, Tenn.
This letter which was addressed to
G. F. Willis, Atlanta, Ga, reads as
follows:
Dear Sir: You will find enclosed a
testimonial from Professor Elmer
Morris, who is one of my customers.
Professor Morris had delicacy in ex-
pressing himself and granted me the
right to give you the particulars in his
case.
He tells me that he has been great
sufferer from chronic stomach and
bowel trouble, and never had been able
to get anything to give him any relief.
He fell off in weight from 225 pounds
to ITO pounds. He went to Dawson

persuaded him to try Tanlac. He
weighed on my scales at the time he
began taking it and only weighed 40
pounds. After taking three bottles Of
Tanlac he had gained 20 pounds. When
he brought this testimonial to me he
had gained 4 pounds more and weighed
22s pounds and decided to quit taking
Tanlac.
This man is a teacher in the public
schools in Stewart county, Tenn. He
lives here in one mile of my store and
bought the Tanlac from me. His true

miles from the legation quarter, ond

Patent Stills
Taken Over In
England Now

LONDON, March 6.-Tetootalers
ard prohibitionists have hailed with
Joy an intimation by David Lloyd
George, the Minister of Munitions,
that all patent whisky stills in the
British Isles will be taken over by the
government for war work until the
end of the war, to be used for the pro-
duction Of certain ingredients of ex-
plosives.
There will be no shortage of whisky,
however. The distillers say they ahve
stock in bond quite sufficient to sup
ply the normal consumption in this
country for at Least three years. They
also point out that unless the war
should come to a sudden end their
supply would last four years owing tc
the lessened consumption due to the
restricted sale now in force.
Only about dozen of the biggest
distilIeries in Scotland come undel
the category of patent stills. In the
year ended March last there were
distilled in Scotland 2S,OOO.OOO gallons
and there were in stock 113,000,000.
