O., DEFEATS SO CIAXiTST IXOCMBEST. CI EAMANC AI Vz Off-Hart Schaffner & Marx Clothes- Vz Off Official Xow Retired Had Been Leader of Movement Since Agi tation First Began. VANCOUVER. B. C. Jan. 11. James Findlay was elected Mayor today by a majority of 100 votes over Mayor Taylor, publisher of the Dally World and a native of the United States, who has held the office the past two years. Much capital was made in the cam. palgn of Mr. Taylor's announcement that he was a Socialist. . Mr. Taylor made no particular parade of Socialism or Its doctrines, but confined himself to bidding vigorously for the working men's votes, which swept him into of fice two years ago. Mra P. McXaughton. ths only woman candidate, was elected aa a school trustee. A fairly heavy poll of women voters was recorded. The victory of Findlay over Taylor, who had been twice elected to that office, has been watched with close at tention, aa It was to decide whether the voters of that city were satisfied with the Socialistic charter that has been In force since 190S, adopted by the people and permitted by a .special ... h PMvlnrltl Parliament. 'The charter provided that the city should adopt the new charter gradually, 60 per cent the first year and ST5 per cent each of the next two years so it has really been in lorce ior iwg years. During this period Vancouver partlcl- . ,hj ,.nM-il nrosnerltv of the other Coast cities and the Socialists attributed this to the new charter. Mayor Taylor has been tne leaaer or . - c n 1 1 .tt I Am. .Inn It was first agitated In Vancouver and before the present election the Issue was distinct ly made tor tne present cnunr ur m revision to the one that formerly ex isted. James Findlay waa chosen to make the race against Taylor because he was an opponent of the Socialistic doctrines and asked for support along these lines. At the two previous elections Mayor Taylor was elected by large ma jorities so his defeat by 1600 is a much larger victory for the anti-Socialists than appears from the figures.

A Resolution for Thin-Blooded People Thin-blooded people do not remain so from choice ,but from indifference, .in some cases from despair. People who are pale, lan guid, with slight palpitation nf 1if heart, some difficulty in breathing and a tendenoy to fatigue are suffering from thin blood. They need only the resolution to take the 4-- nri crifV tn it until cured. The remedy that can be relied upon is Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People "With every dose they make new blood and new blood means health and strength. They stop -further process of the disease and their success as a blood-builder canbe plainly seen after a short trial. The red cheeks, good appetite, increased weight and strength, cheerful disposition, and relief from the symptoms, all declare the general improvement in the health. It is pure blood now that is traveling everywhere through the body and the benefit goes on until health is restored. Mr. William A. Newman, of Sarada, Camden County, lie, goffered from thin arid disordered blood as a result of an attack of the grip. Ha says: "My head ached continually and was filled with hissing and roaring sounds that were fearfully annoying. My heart fluttered and had regular running-away spells. My stomach was bo sore that I could hardly bear a touch on that part of my body. I had a great deal of pain in the region of my liver and the doc tor said that organ was enlarged. My head and my back ached dreadfully, but, hard as it was to stand it, I wouldn't give up entirely. I dragged myself about kept growing worse and finally ran down to almost nothing. First I tried 'a doctor, but he did me no good. Then I took all kinds of advertised preparations, but nothing proved helpful until I began to use Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. As soon as I got them I knew that Iiad at last hit upon the right remedy for my case. The very first box did more for me than anything, else I had ever taken. I wish I had heard of them long before, for they would have saved me money and suffering. They gave me relief right away and in three months they positively cured me."
