Rulmor, More or Less Persist
ent, Names Councilman as
Mayoralty Candidate
TIME FOR FILING OF
PETITIONS AT HAND
Keigley and Blair Indicated
as Probable Republican
Entrants in Race

RumOrs, more or less we'll defined
and persistent, have been current to.
day to the effect that Councilman
Charles keigley is to announce his
name as candidate for the Republi-
can nomination for mayor at the city
primary to be held in August.
The time now is very close at hand
when such declarations must be made,
when nomination and election are
sought on partisan tickets. The sta
tutes require regular Republicans and
regular Democrats to make their dec
larations Of candidacy for nomination
90 days prior to the date Of the pri-
mary, which is Tuesday, Aug. 9. Nom.
nations. on citizens and so-called in.
dependent movements are made by
another procedure. by petition, which
papers may be filed at a date later
than the primary.
Relatively little talk of political
nature has been heard thus far. As
the time for filing declarations nears,
it is probable there will be a consid.
cradle increase in the political talk
and gossip and a material interest
generally.
A few other names have been men.
toned in connection with the Repub-
lican mayoralty nomination. With a
common accord, the owners have dis
claimed any purpose or desire to
serve the community in official posi-
ton. So general is the appearance
of Indifference and apathy that there
has been more or less of fear it may
be necessary to resort to the draft
to secure candidates to fill the party
tickets.
The Democrats maintain complete
p, silence touching politics. Mayor Tiger
still is 'unshaken in his attitude OF
never again" His experience in the
mayors office has hardly been pleas
ant or satisfying enough to invite any
other deserving Democrat to hasten
to fill the breach.
The gossips also insist that Barton
w. Blair is to file his declaration as
candidate for the Republican nomi
nation for solicitor, the position in the
municipal government as advisor OF
the city and municipal officers now
held by Walter G. Harris, a Republi
i can. who is serving his second term
! This will be Mr.. Blair's first excur
| sion as an entrant in the political race
and his strength as vote getter re
mains to be estimated.
The watchman upon The Banner
watchtower from now on will be vigi
lantly awake for signs betokening ac
tivity within or without the camp
Friend and foe will be scrutinized and
ifEany be found with anything on the
hip, the same will be proclaimed from
the housetops. ia

Saturday evening on the public
square. The program will begin at
S:15 by band of 20 pieces.
In other places these weekly band

reason the practice has not been
brought to Mt. Vernon until now. 1t
may be asserted with complete conf

Wherever these concerts are given
1t is usual that large crowds assemble

is the purpose of the band, provided
the public shows an interest to con.

international Association Of RotAfy

Nationwide Survey. I

Aroused by charges Of the Ameri-
can Legion that the government has
failed in its duty toward disabled vet
Grams Of the World war, the board Of
directors of the International Associa-
tion Of Rotary Clubs has ordered
nationwide survey Of the situation
ito prove whether American Legion
reports are based on hysteria or upon
actual facts"
The Rotary organization has in
dorsed the LegiOn's consolidation pro.
gram for the relief to the disabled
and will support the Leglon's efforts
to obtain Its enactment into law, ac-
cording to Chesley H. Perry Of Chi
cago, secretary-general Of the Rotary
clubs organizations.
"The $4,000 American business and
professional men who form the 800
Rotary clubs Of the United States,
have started QUITO gather the actual
facts in their respective communities
with regard to the manner In which
the United States government Is
handling the cases Of disabled ex-sOl.

r. w. Galbraith, Jr., commander Of
the Legion.
1.-THE ROtarians have been shocked
by the disclosures made by the Ameri-
can Legion regarding the circum-
stances surrounding the rehabilitation
of Uncle Sans disabled ex-service
men. Each Rotary club is appointing
special committee to investigate
conditions in It's community and re-
port to the club. Every club will then
report to the headquarters office Of
Rotary in Chicago. The result will be
that from 800 communities in every
part Of the United States will come
evidence of business ard professional
men to prove to the American people
whether or not the American Legion
reports are based on hysteria or upon
actual facts so revolving and heart
rending as to cause the whole Ameri-
can people to rise in their might and
do justice to the men who sacrificed
themselves for their country"
The LegioE's national commander
asserted that his organization will
welcome the Rotary investigation.
II hope its findings will be given
the widest publicity" he said. III
will be found that the Legion has not
overstated the case in any particular

over the Earth's Shoulder.

Ocean voyages are sometimes short
ened considerably by going ."Ovor the
shoulder Of the EARTH" as the naviga-
tors say. the Nebraska State Journal
observes. The same thing Is true, of
course, of air travel. When an at
tempt is made to fly over the Pacific
ocean from San Francisco the short
est way will not be directly across, as
a study Of the map would indicate.
Instead, the fiers will 60 hundreds of
miles northward, skirting the Aleutian
islands and in this way saving great
distance as we'll as securing the ad-
vantage of more numerous landing
places.
The earth will soon be charted for
mir travel and the lines for long dis
tance flights will be circular more
often than direct.

Press Women Are Interested.

Y The Women's Press club Of New
York city has become interested In
American Legion welfare work and
has adopted ward at Fox Hills hos
pltal, Staten Island, New York, con-
taining 65 disabled veterans. The
clubs committee visits the hospital
twice week supplying the men with
articles of clothing, tobacco and
reading matter. An idea sponsored by
the club of providing "gardenettes'
or window boxes for the various hos
pitfalls where ex-service men are be-
ing treated has become popular with
relief organizations. The school chill
dren OF LeOnia. N. j., collected funds
and bought window box for the hos
