Open Fight on Nominal
ton of Kracke
[Staf Correspondence

i
ALBANY. Jan. 3.-Following a series
of conferences last night and to-day
between Elon r. Brown, majority lead
er OF the Senate; Henry NJ. Sage, chair
man of the Finance Committee, and
other leaders of the anti-Whitman
forces, legislators predicted a lively
row between the two factions before
another month is over.
Inc antl-W hltman leaders are for
making fight in the Senate on the ap-
polntment to the Public Service Com
mission Of Frederick J. II. Kracke. of
brooklyn. Whether they carry out
this programme depends on the
strength they can muster before the
appointment comes before the Senate
Tor confirmation.
In any event Jne row Is due It NAV
be precipitated by the introduction OF
and restoring the party convention.
lhe decision to introduce this bill was
agreed upon at these conferences.
Hope to Spike Whitman Boom
The reactionaries believe that a re-
turn to the timc-honored boss-ridden
convention system of selecting candi-
dates for elective Offices will serve a
double purpose. 1t will put the quietus
n.
by means of which the Governor is
said to have hopes OF getting in line
for the Republican nomination for
President in 1920. And it will also
remove the fear shared by the reac-
tionaries of both parties extnc-
tion of bosses in this state through
the swelling of the ranks Of the indie
pendent voters by the recently cnfran-
chised women.
The old line politicians are far more
concerned with the effect the women
voters will have on the enjoyment of
their ancient perquisites than in the
political ambitions Of Governor Whit
man. They fought the woman suffrage
amendment to the last, and now they
are bent on nullifying, if possible, the
effect of the enfranchisement of the
women in so far as it affects politi-
clans special privileges.
Tammany's Action in Doubt
Last year the Senate passed bill
repeating the direct primaries act by
means of union of the rcactionaries
of both parties. Whether Tammany
Will join with the anti Whitman forces
this year is at the present time purely
speculative Most of the legislators
here privately confess that they want
Il return of the party convention.
AT the present time data is being
collected by the foes of the direct
primaries law to show the increased
cost to the taxpayers of the additional
election each year. In fact, propa-
ganda in favor of a return to the old
party convention system is now being
carried on in every county in the state
Crepe has been hung on the Hylan-
Hearst municipal owenrship bill and

New York City administration. But
there is likelihood of Senator George

Whitman Opposes
Special Elections
Says Cost Of Filling Vacancies
Here Might Be Saved for
War Work q
LStdf Correspondence

ALBANY, Jan. 3.-There will be no
special elections to fill the vacancies
IN the four New York City Congress
slonal districts and the two vacancies
IN the State Senate unless there is a
demand made upon Governor Whitman.
The Governor said that he believed the
expenses of these elections might be
saved for war work.
The Governor said to-day that if the
New York delegation in the House of
representatives asked that special
elections be called he would accede to
their request. And if the people of
the 9th and 41st Senatorial districts
make like request it will be granted.
The expense Of these special cleo
uons would cost the people of the
state about $250,0 Ordinarily an
election to congress or the State SEN
ate costs but $4,000. but Governor
whitman estimates that because Of
the women voting, as they will if these
elections are called this increase would
De from $4,000 to $4,000 additional i'll
each district
There is really no need Of calling
any special elections for the State Sem
a'e vacancies. as one is an overwhelm-
"siy republican district and the other
soildly Democratic. William j. Hetfcr-
man, of Brooklyn. was the Democratic
senator. He resigned to take public

Bring Back Color and
Lustre to Hair.

That beautiful, even shade OF dark.
glossy hair can only be had by brew
ing a mixture of Sage Tea and Sui
phur. Your hair Is your charm. It
makes or mars the face. When 1t
fades, turns gray or streaked. just an
application or two of Sage and Sui
phur enhances its appearance hun
dredfold.
Don't bother to prepare the mix
ture; you can get this famous old
recipe improved by the addition OF
other ingredients at a small cost, all
ready for use. It Is called Wyeth' s
Sage and Sulphur Compound. This can
always be depended upon to bring
back the natural color and lustre OF
your hair.
Everybody uses "Wyeth's' Sage and
Sulphur Compound now because 1t
darkens so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell 1t has been applied.
You simply dampen sponge or SOFT
brush with 1t and draw this through
the hair, taking one small strand at
time: by morning the gray hair has
disappeared. and after another appii-
cation 1t becomes beautifully dark and
appears glossy and lustrous. This
ready to-use preparation is delight

EXPECT MILLIONS
OF RUSS TO STARVE

One Of the greatest cataetrophes in
the history of the world win happen
in this Coming year. Nothing can
prevent It. 1t IS as Inevitable as the
rising ald setting of the sun.
This catastrophe is the death by
starvation OF thousands Of people in
the next eight montha, This number
will exceed the total number that
have been killed on all battle fronts
in the past four years of war.
This ia not rash guess. II is the
plain statement made by those who
have the facts Of the situation in
hand and who dare to face these
facts
In northern Russia alone, conserva-
tive estimates figure 10000, 600 deaths
from starvation this winter. Fifty
million people in CHS district are be-
yond help because Of the complete
collapse of Russia's transportation
facilities under her reign of anarchy
and because too, OF her iee-locked
rosts.
Fortunately, other countries OF Eu-
rope, although lacking food as much
as Russia, are more accessible. II
their peoples suffer, the awful calam-
ity of these people OF northern Rus
STA it will be because America would
not send them food, not because we
could net.
Arrangements have long since been
completed by which the "big Allies"
France, England and Italy will be
proyisfoned. The stream Of food into
Belgium has already been redoubled
to help regain the strength from the
torture of four years Of German oc'
cupation.
Our concern now must be for the
s1ittie Allies" who have at last
emerged from the German yoke, These
include the serbians. Roumanlans,
Greeks, Czecbs Jugoslavs, and 9th
eys In all these people number To-
600 600 They are on the brink or
starvation now. Unless we can send
them food immediately, they will die.
Unfortunately this food cannot be
produced by miraile. II must be
saved bit by bit, day by day by the
voluntary economy Of American peo-
pie
This, then, Is the situation. Unlike
war-times, no direct, specific sacrit
fees are asked of us in order to feed
these millions OF starving mothers,
little children and brave. but war
weary men. WE are not asked to
have wheatless or meatless days. We
are thrown entirely upon our good
sense and conscience to save food by
living as simply as possible and by
continuing all wartime economies
that lessen waste.
Is there An American man, woman
Or child who has known the pride and
Joy of saving food to win the war,
who will hesitate now to save food
to win the world?
