OF all known drugs, creosote is recog-

Of throat troubles. Creomulsion contains,
in addition to creosote, other healing ele-

ties" it continued, particularly in
precincts that If thrown out would
change the result, the difficulty of
getting actual proof In such shape as
would be acceptable in court of law
is very great.
Moreover, the expense of waging
such contest would run into a very
large sum, far beyond any amount at
my command and exceeding by many
thousands of dollars any sum L would
be willing to ask my friends and sup
porters to contribute. (The election
laws of the state provide that the state
shall not stand the expense of a re-
count of votes cast for any office in
a contest proceedings unless the ma
jority of the successful candidate is
less than one-tenth of one per cent Of
the total vote cast for that office; in
this case, some 70 votes).
"Also, very powerful interests would
be aligned against us, aided by the
most formidable political machine that
has ever been organized in the south
western states, commanding funds and
influence almost without limit.
"The time necessary to the trial of
such contest would probably extend
nearly, if not entirely, through the
term of office involved, and even
though we prevailed in the end, the
victory might be a barren one except
in moral sense.
my decision meets the approval Of
many prominent citizens from various
parts of the state whose counsel and
cooperation have been of great assist
ance and to whom, because of their
disinterested friendship, I am under
lasting obligations"

tors in carrying out their announced
purpose of impounding the ballots
cast in the recent Pennsylvania gen.
eral election.
Agitation for impounding the bal
lots was started by Senator Morris,
Republican, Nebraska, who cam
paigned for William B. Wilson, the
democratic opponent of Ware, who
now contemplates contesting the
election on the grounds of fraud
At the committee session, Reed also
brought up the refusal of Samuel
insult, of Chicago, F. x O'Connor,
of Philadelphia, and others to tes-
tify. The committee is disposed to
cite them to the senate for contempt
but formal action was deferred. In
line with his policy of recommend
ing investigation wherever evidence
of wrong doing was presented, Sem
ator Reed laid before the commit
tee charges against himself and in
vited it to go into them.
They were filed by r. B. Walms-
Icy, a merchant Of Kansas City, Mo.
who accused Senator Reed of bias
and Partially in conducting his i'm
curry into reports that Senator
Halves, democrat Missouri, had
spent too much money in his cam
paign Reed told his colleagues that
they were welcome to conduct ar
inquiry but that he would take no
part in it. The committee, however,
withheld decision.
After brief discussion the commit
tee took under Amusement the wis
dom of going into Massachusetts, to
ascertain whether the republican or.
ganization spent huge sums in be-
half of Senator Butler and the state
ticket, as has been commended.

changed singing retorts with the
Georgian, and Gallivan engaged Cram
ton in a wordy duel that angered
both while it amused the house.
Cramton aroused Galliyan when he
lheclared the wet advocates speech of
yesterday, in which he linked pro-
hibition with ? religious issues in
Mexico, had embarrassed his demo-
cratic colleagues, many of whom,
he said, had ''disavowed it,"
Immediately Gallivan replied that
when two years ago he had asked
members who drank but voted as
directed by the Anti-Safoon league
to raise their hands, Cramton was the
only one to respond.
The Michigan representative charged
Galliyan with misusing a humorous
situation that resulted from his mis-
understanding of the question, and
asserted that he did not use liquor.
Cramton brought Governor Smith,
of New York, into the discussion
when he said he wondered if he is
member of the wet board of STRAIT
egg and whether it is in Tammany
hall.
He said he did not believe, how
ever, that Governor Smith sis pre-
Jared to go before the country, not
only as wet candidate for presl-
dent, but as the candidate of the
vets who are opposed to the en-
;forcement of the law; and the atti-,
tnde of Tammany on this floor to'f
day places him before the country as
that kind of a candidate.
