Men Want Dignity in
Clothes

No matter how much man de-
sires the extreme fashions or how
much he likes to have the little new
touches of fashion on his clothes,
he has an inherent desire for Sc
date attire.
Schleisner clothes express in
true style the character in clothes
which denote quality and refine
ment and which men look for even
though they do not always express
their desires in words.
There is such vast difference
between the smart fit of Schleis-
ner suit or overcoat and that of the
usual run of clothing that compari-
son forcefully stamps Schleisner
clothing as peerless.
There are many men who buy
clothing in haphazard way, yet
they are very particular to buy
their clothing at store where they
know the stocks are chosen in
careful manner.
That is just one of the reasons
why the busy man of Harrisburg
comes to Schleisner's. He may
not have the time or inclination to
hunt for the invisible details which
make Schleisner Suit or Overcoat
so much better, but he knows,
nevertheless, that those details are
right.
The new fall coats and top coats
range in price from $50 to SIS.

DECLINES TO ASK
POLITICAL FAVOR

st. Louis, Mo-. May Virtually
every measure of political nature
was eliminated from the American
Legion caucus when the national res
olutions committee late today voted to
withdraw several resolutions which II
was contended would give the organi-

was one urging the abolition OF the
war time prohibition measure until the
overseas soldiers returned and another
requesting congress to place the ma
tiona1 guard and the regular army on
an equal footing.
Chicago and Mayor Thompson We're
bitterly denounced by the speakers as
unpatriotic when the question of the
ner4 convention came before the leg :
ion. Afterwards, led by the Oregon
delegation, delegates began tearing
down signs boosting Chicago. Minnea-
po1is was finally selected.

URGED HEARERS
TO BUY BONDS
Contrary to Expectations on
Part of Some Attorney
General Failed to An
nounce for Governor.

Contrary to general expectations.
Attorney General Van G. Swearingen
failed to announce himself as a can
didate for the office of governor in
his speech at the Woodn1en hall. West
Garden street, last night, He did.
however, make a most persuasive a,p-
peal to the laboring men of Pensacola,
whom he addressed, to accept their
part and privilege in the purchase of
Victory Bonds on the one remaining
day of the sale. 1T is generally un-
derstood he will announce his candi-
dacy in due time :.

rangement of the BIacksmfth's Union

ingen was an active member ten years
ago. before his entry into public life.
Most of the labor unions of Pensacola
We're represented at the meeting, and
z. D. Cunningham, of the blacksmith's, s,
presided and introduced the speaker.
In appealing for the purchase of
bonds, Mr. Swearingen tellingly inn
pressed the fact that even if we were
to take the very coats from our backs
to help provide payment for the great
victory, we would not be doing a mil
liontf part of what the boys have done
who now sleep in lonely graves in
France. He said that he had almost
rather take a short at the man who
profiteered during the war than to
take one at the kaiser himself.
Complimenting the unions on their
patriotism, which had won for them
the confidence of all right thinking
people, he declared that unionism had
justified its existence. in the single
fact that it had taken it's children out
Of the sweat shops and put them in
the schools, and he favored school
terms of equal length throughout the
state, wether city or rural. Educate
your children properly first" he said,
.sand good roads and all other desir-
able improvements will naturally fol-
low in due time.
Mr.. Swearingen expressed himself
as strongly opposed to reduction of
wages. because the wages now re-
ceiyed by tradesmen, though so much
greater than received by him when 4
laboring man, will not buy as much
of the needs of life. because of high
prices.
Refers to GIades Controversy.
In answer to question before the
meeting regarding the Everglades con-
troversy. the attorney general express
ed a feeling Of confidence that he
would succeed in preventing the sacri-
flee sale at the present time.
Mr.. Swearingen will remain in the
city today and Sunday.
