RUMORED ALLEE ASPTRES TO

ly pronounced among the friends OF
Mayor Price, whose candidacy for a
denomination has, made such strong
appeal to Republican favor.
When Mr.. Taylor, seemingly in def
crence to orders received from high
&c lp," decided to become a candidate
in opposition to Mayor Price, one Of
the first questions that arose had
TO do with the management Of his
campaign The local field was conned.
Isaac w. Bowers was Secretary Of
the City Board of Health. He also was
chairman of the Republican First Dis
trict Committee. IL was decided TO
make Overtures TO Bowers to become
Taylor's political manager He was
discovered to be in a receptive mood.
There was. however, an obstacle in
the way which was an exceedingly
important one in the eyes of Bowers.
He was receiving, in salary and fees,
as secretary of the Board of Health.
approximately $4,000. He would not
become political manager for Taylor
unless an adjustment were made
which would Justify him in relinquish-
ing that office. Satisfactory arrange
inents were made with him. He re-
signed his office. The understand
/ ing received by the Taylor men was
that he had enough political influence

One OF the most astounding devel-
opments in the campaign OF William
G.. Taylor for the Republican nomin-
alton for Mayor of this city is that
J. Frank Alice, the notorious and dis
credited political plotter of Dover, is
in supreme command Of the Taylor
movement and that ed" Davis, a
political manipulator of Milford, is his
right-hand man.
This Out-of-tOwn leadership in
Wilmington city primary quite natur-
ally has aroused much sindignation
among Republican voters here and is
doing to the Taylor movement an in
calculable amount Of harm
81 notice that Mr. Taylor is talk
ing a good deal about his desire to
give to the people of Wilmington a
business administration" an indig

day 81 take it that there is little
doubt that il our city has in the
Mayors chair a man who is dominated
by ]. Frank Alice, the taxpayers Of
Wilmington will realize in a short
time that they have a business ad-
ministration so literal in its business
nature that they will have good cause

since he first broke into politics under
the auspices of J. Edward Addicks.
Candor constrains me to say that
II there be a political manipulation in
our State who believes in CONNER
cializing the electorate and the pub
lie service it is he. / am surprised that
3 man like Mr. Taylor has seen fit to
link his political fortunes with those OF
such a man. That association. with the
inference with respect to the future
that it conveys, is sufficient ir itself
to ruin his candidacy by discreditine
IL in the eyes OF selfrespecting Re
publicans. If Mr.. Taylor feels that he
is so weak with Wilmington voters
that he must go down the State foi
his campaign managers and recruit
into his service men of the Alice and
Davis type, he had better escape a
humiliating defeat at the primaries
by Withdrawing from the field. He
certainly never can defeat, by such
liscreditable associations and methods

MORE THAN 10000 POLES
HANGED BY GERMAN ORDERS

Zurich, via Paris, June 19.-The
Polish deputy, Daszinski, declared in
the Vienna reichsrath that more than
10000 Poles have been hanged by or
der of the German authorities, ac-
cording to the Vienna Arbeiter lei
tung, which prints special details of
the sittings of the reichsrath on the
14th and 18th. Deputy Striberny also
described the abominable treatment
accorded political suspects, whereupon
the pan-Germanist deputy, Heine
shouted, "They h We not used the rope
enough; all of them ought to have
been hanged"
At these words all of the Slav and
Polish cnembers rushed upon Heine
and the president was obliged to sus-
pend the sitting in the midst of tre-
mendous uproar.

CLIP THIS AND PIN
ON WIFES DRESSER
Cincinnati Man Tells How to Shrivel
Up COrns or Calluses So They
Lift OF With Fingers.

Ouch ?! ! This kind of rough
talk will be heard less here in town if
people troubled with corns will follow
the simple advice of this Cincinnati
authority, who claims that few drops
of drug called freezone when applied
to tender, aching corn or hardened
callus stops soreness at once, and soon
the corn or callus dries up and lifts
right off without pain.
He says freezone dries Immediately
and never inflames or even irritates
the surrounding skin. A small bottle
of freezone will cost very little at any
drug store, but will positively remove
every hard Or soft corn or callus from
ones feet. Millions of American wo-
men will welcome this announcement
since the Inauguration of the high
heels. If your druggist doesn't have
freezone tell him to order small bot
tie for YOU.

RUSSIA REJECTS
UNTRUE THOUGHT
WILL REMAIN FAITHFUL TO
CAUSE OF DEMOCRACY.
So Says Bakhmetieff-New Ambassa-
dor Again Pledges Loyalty of
Great Nation to Liberty
League.

Washington, June 26.-In another
stirring address today at the capitol,
Boris A. Bakhmetieff, head of Rus
sia's diplomatic mission, gave a
solemn pledge that the Russian peo-
pie and army, convinced that a
separate peace would mean the tri-
umph of German autocracy," are
prepared to fight on beside America
until the world has been made safe
for democracy.
The ambassador spoke before the
senate and was given a reception al
most as enthusiastic as that cccorded
him Saturday in the house. On no
previous occasion since the war be-
gan has senatorial reserve been cast
so completely aside. At the conclu-
sion of the address a resolution was
adopted by unanimous consent ex-
pressing the senate's qualification
over the stand of the newest democ-
racy.
Russia rejects with indignation
any idea of a separate peace" said
the envoy. Striving for a lasting
peace based on democratic principles
established by democratic will, the
Russian people and army are rally
ing their forces around the banners
of freedom"
Many of the rumors of internal
dissension in Russia, Mr.. Bakhmetieff
said, grew out of misunderstanding
of the great changes taking place in
the whole fabric of the government
to transform it to democratic stand
ards.
Tonight the ambassador and other
members of the Russian mission were
given reception by Secretary Lam
sing with President Wilson among
the guests.

Kind reader, suppose you were the
editor of some newspaper and "took
your pen in hand" to write for your
editorial columns. What would you
write about? War is in the air!
Great upheavals, the like of which
the world has never seen, so fill the
thoughts and make up the total &C
tivities of men to such a degree that
it is hard to think of anything else.
And the war events are so tremen-
dous, so undecided, so uncertain, that
one finds it hard to write upon that
subject. Words have shrunk up con-
siderably since the coming of this war.

Says a Glass of Hot Water
Every Morning Before
Breakfast Will Take Off
Fat If You Get More
Fresh Air.
Be Moderate in Your Diet and Reduce
Your Weight With Tassco.

Lack of fresh air weakens the oxy-
gen-carrying power of the blood. the
liver becomes sluggish, fat accumu.
lates and the action of many of the
vital organs are hindered thereby. The
heart action becomes weak, work is
an effort and the beauty of the figure
is destroyed.
Fat put on by indoor life is un-
healthy and if nature is not assisted
in throwing it off by increasing the
oxygen-carrying power of the blood
a serious case of obesity may result.
When you feel that you are getting
too stout, take the matter in hand at
once. Don't wait until your figure has
become a joke and your health ruined
through carrying around burden of
unsightly and unhealthy fat.
Spend as much time as you possibly
can in the open air; breathe deeply,
and get from Glymph's Pharmacy a
box of tassco, take a glass of hot
water every morning before break
fast then take tasso after each meal
and at bedtime.
Weigh yourself every few days and
keep up the treatment until you are
down to normal. Tasso is absolutely
harmless, is pleasant to take, helps
the digestion and is designed to in
crease the oxygen-carrying power of
the blood. .%
Even few days treatment should
show noticeable reduction in weight.
There is nothing better for obesity.
