a field consisting of A. Cary Ellis,
chief of police, Jos. A. Hicks and J.
s. Fi1lingim. The entrance Of Mr..
Hicks into the race has apparently
caused Sheriff Whitaker not to run.
Mr. Van Pelt has a wonderfully
strong following. both in city and
country. Mr. Ellis likewise has a great
deal of strength, which has been added
to materially in the last week. The in
lection of Mr.. Hicks and Mr.. Fillingim
into the race has complicated the sit
uation considerably. Mr.. Fillingim is
calling for the labor vote, where Mr..
Ellis city strength is supposed to be.
So far he appears to be a negligible
quantity.
Mr.. Hicks expects to poll the Cats
and prohibition vote and for that
reason Mr. Whitaker has not an
nounced. 1t appears that Mr.. Ellis will
get a large per centage of the vote
which would have gone to Mr.. Whit
aker. Mr.. Hicks was a member of the
famous vigilance committee, and
whatever Cats votes do not go to
him are not likely to go to Mr.. Van
Pelt Ergo, they will go to Mr.. Ellis.
Sentiment in favor of the present chief
of police is growing, and though he
probably could not win were the cleo
, ton to be held today. he would poll
a surprising vote. What the next week
will show is hard to forecast. The
situation is settling down and announcer
month should see the lines sufficiently
frightened to determine the final result.

Van Pelt's country strength is ex-

problem has been solved, and Southern

applied over throat and chest. These
vapors, inhaled with each breath, car

salve was absorbed thru and stimulated
the skin, attracting the blood to the sur
face and thus aiding the vapors inhaled
to relieve the trouble. This prepare

PROFITEERS SOAKED" MAXIMUM
PENALTY BY FEDERAL JUDGE

The John A. Roberts corporation
of Utica, dealers in wearing apparel,
was today fined $55O00 by Federal
Judge Harland B. Howe, following it's
conviction of profteering on eleven
counts. In imposing the fine, the
heaviest the law would permit, Judge
Howe said:
Il believe that convicted profiteers
should be sent to jail That would
do more than anything else to i'm
press the merchants who are doing
business that they must confine them
selves to fair and reasonable profits.
"But the defendant being a corpora
tion in this case there can be no pri-
son sentence. I believe it is plainly
the duty of the court to impose the
maximum sentence, which is $4,000
on each count or total of $55.000
and such is the sentence of this
court"
