Chicago Mayor's Candidates
Are Returned in 3 Con
tested Districts.
PRIMARY IS TURBULENT
Deputy Sheriff . Is Sent by County
Judge to AVatcli for Frauds and
Things Happen Fast Bot-
1 Ic T'ells Prosecutor.
CHICAGO, Feb. 20. Six of the nine
wards, the Aldermen of which revolted
against Mayor Thompson, Republican,
nominated an ti -Thompson Aldermanic
candidates at the primaries today. The
Mayor's candidates were returned in
the Third, Thirteenth and Thirty-third
Wards.
Unusual interest attached to the
struggle by reason of the Mayor's am
bition to succeed Roy O. West as Re
publican National committeeman and
curiosity as to what effect on the vote
the enforcement of the Sunday-closing
law against saloons by the Mayor would
have. Women as well as men voted.
The Democratic primaries - were con
tested by followers of Roger fciullivan,
so-called Democratic "boss" of the
state, against adherents of Governor
Dunne and ex-Mayor Carter Harrison.
Mayor Thompson in campaign
speeches asserted that the fig"ht
affainst him in the nine leading "revo
lutionary" wards was due to the activi
ties of ex-Governor Deneen, who al
ways has supported Mr. West for re
election as National committeeman.
Rioting- marked the closing hours of
one of the most tUFbulent off-year pri
mary elections Chicago has known.
The most serious disturbance of the
day was in the Fifth Precinct of the
Twentieth Ward, where a riot call
brought a squad of police to a polling
place. The policemen went to the res
cue of Deputy Sheriff Kramer, who
with revolver drawn held an angry
crowd at bay. Kramer said he had
been sent to the place by County Judge
Scully to watxh for frauds.
"TIi iocs Happen Fast."
"1 showed my credentials and chal
lenged a man," said Kramer. "The elec
tion judges ordered, me out. 1 refused,
1 o leave. Someone struck me in the
face. Then things happened fast.
Others seized me and attempted, to
drag me from the room. I drew my
revolver to defend myself."
Richard J. Prendergast, an Assistant
State's Attorney, was felled with a
bottle when protesting in the Fifty
second. Precinct polling place in the
Twenty-first Ward against alleged
frauds.
Prendrrgrast was working in the in
terest of his brother, John Prender
gast, candidate for the Democratic
nomination in the ward. He was pro
testing the vote of repeaters with
Courtney Scobell, a Sullivan precinct
captain, when a man rushed, in from
the street and. struck him in the-back
of tho head with a bottle. "
Two arrests were made in the Eigh
teenth Ward when John Moore, 25
years old, and Frank Dodd, 23 years
old, resorted to fists in settling a po
litical argument They were arrested.
Sectional Klghtn Intense.
Intense sectional fights, particularly
in the Twenty-first Ward, where the
forces- of James Quinn and- John S
O'Malley are striving for mastery, pro
voked bitter brawls, arrests and. the
frequent drawing of revolvers. Riot
calls were many at least in the river
wards :and from the scenes of two
battlegrounds arose cries of fraud, re
peating and the free use of intimida
tors. Albert Haggart. 29 years old, was ar--rested,
late in the afternoon after a
chase in which judges and clerks or
election took part. The man, it is
charged, attempted to vote under the
name of a voter known to be CO years
old at the polling place of the Forty
fifth Precinct of the Twenty-first
Ward.
In the Kirst Ward, which includes
the downtown district, the Republican
contest produced a woman candidate,
Hilda Johnson Haskins. Of the fem
inine vote she received 36, against 107
for William II. Schrader. The Demo
crats, following immemorial custom,
renominated Alderman John Cough
lin, known in former years as "Bath
house John." He was unopposed.
Complete returns from 19 wards
where fights were made on the Thomp
son candidates gave the Mayor nine
victories and his opponents ten.
Among the Democrats Sullivan's
forces were sweepingly triumphant. In
complete returns indicated to a prac
tical certainty that they carried 27 of
the 35 wards.

PALE WIVES AND MOTHERS
Many women who had s good color in
their girlhood grow pale and colorless
when they become wives and mothers.
When the fading color in cheeks and
lips is accompanied by a loss of bright,
noas in the eyes and an increasing heavi
ness in the step, the cause ia to be sought
in the state of the blood.
A hundred causes may contribute to
the condition of thin blood thai is known
as anemia. Overwork, lack of out-door
exercise, insufficient rest and Bleep, im
proper diet, these are a few of them.
Xhe important thing is to restore the
blood to normal, to boiid it up so that
the color will return to cheeks and lips,
the brightness to the eyes and lightness
to the step.
Dr. Williams' Pink fills are the great
blood builder and invigorator. They be
gin at once to increase the red corpuscles
in the blood and the new blood carries
strength and health to ererr part of the
body. Appetite increases, digestion be
comes more perfect, energy mad ambition

CERTAIN melodies, or bonmote, or
misquotations stick to theatrical
folk like a burr. No matter how
many other singers at other times may
sing- it, the song remains always iden
tified in the public mind with one par
ticular artiet.
George Damerel will always be iden
tified with Lets Go Back to Maxim's."
And, tell the truth, don't you always
think of George Damerel and his sea
sons with various Princess Sonias
whenever the lovely, haunting melody
of "The Merry Widow" comes to mem
ory ? It is deeply imbedded in hie ca
reer. And if you find yourself hum
ming the melody you immediately call
up a picture of the dashing, debonaire
Damerel He has waltzed through my
memory every time a hurdy-gurdy
starts "Maxim's" or a rummaging
through someone's etack of music
brings his famous song to memory. We
talked of it yesterday.
-Mr. Damerel is being much dined and
motored and luncheoned and even
breakfasted by Fortlanders whom he
has made h is friends during the sea
sons he has visited us.
'I know they're real friends. he
says, "becauser not one blessed one of
them has ever tried to sell me property
or shares in something,"
Mr. Damerel opines that- the waltz is
the loveliest form of the dance. "It is
a genuine terpsichorean novelty now
adays," he says. "The modern dances
are, after all. a sort of highly conven
tionalized bacchanal and the old-fashioned
waltz was well, a denatured
bacchanal, anyway. It may not have
eliminated entirely the idea of sex,
but it was interpolative of all the grace
and beauty which are inherent in the
human body, both in action and repose.
Yea, the waltz was a chaste and lovely
dance.
"In spite of the extraordinary vogue
which dancing has been enjoying for
the last few years and which has war
ranted the newspaper, paragraphere in
assuming that all the world is dance
mad, the good old-fashioned waltz has
been relegated to the past- Even our
grandfathers have passed it by.
"Now, don't think I am not in favor
of modern Fteps. I am. They are a
wondeful exercise, and anyone who per
forms them faithfully need not roll in
th morninar or bend over without bend-
POLITICAL GOSSIP
ALTHOUGH Harvey Wells, State
Insurance Commissioner, has been
prominently mentioned as a pos
sible candidate for the Republican
nomination for Secretary of State, he
said yesterday that he will not be, and
has never thought of being:, a candidate
for the office.
"This is definite, official and final."
said Mr. Wells. "As Ions ago as early
last Fall I was quoted in The Ore-g-onian
as saying- I would not run, and
that statement was correct absolutely.
I thank my friends for their interest,
but will say candidly tltat I prefer the
insurance business to politics( and
don't propose to be a candidate for any
office."
A. A. Muck, of St. Johns, has ten
dered his resignation as a member of
the executive committee of the Oregon
Republican Club and his successor
probably will be selected at a meeting
of the committee today. The consti
tution of the Oregon Republican Club
provides that no officeholder or candi
date for office may hold office in the
club: Mr. Muck has announced his can
didacy for the Republican nomination
for County Commissioner, hence has
resisnedw Among those prominently
mentioned to succeed him on the com
mittee is Dr. L. Victoria Hampton, one
of the well-known Republican women
of Portland.
Arthur C. Spencer, Portland attorney,
announced his candidacy yesterday for
delegate-at-large to the Republican Na
tional Convention and sent his formal
declaration to Secretary of State Ol
cott. Of the ten delegates to attend
the Chicago convention from Oregon
four are to be elected from the state
at large. Sir. Spencer is the fifth can
didate to file for delegate-at-large,
the other four beinj? Charles H. Carey,
of Riverdale; Frank M. Warren, J. 3-1.
Worsley and C. W. Fulton, all of Port

"He should not be a standpatter, a
progressive or a reactionary, but a man
worthy of a broader and higher classi
fication a patriotic citizen, who when
elected will be the President of all the
people for whose welfare he shall al

"He should be a man whom none will
dare approach on a basis of partisan

implicit confidence of the contending

STORY-TELLER IS HEARD
MOM.IE BEST WW'S AUDIENCE IX
WHITE TEMPLE.
InteretfnK Displays AIho Are Made In
Connection With Palestine .
Pageant at Church.
Mollie Best and her irresistible
stories took the audience by storm last
night in tho White Temple. Miss Best,
who is a well-known magazine writer
and story-teller from New York, gives
delightful delineation of the characters
that make the Ghetto and the Irish
quarters of the city distinctive. She
tells her stories in connection wiUi the
Social Service Exposition and Palestine
Pageant that is being held in the White
Temple under the auspices of the Port
land Ministerial Association and sev
eral social service organizations.
Dr. Allen Moore, arrayed In the garb
of an Oriental, gave a lecture on the
Holy Land, illustrating his talk with
a pageant of richly "costumed young
people. The music and chants of the
far-away lands and the ancient cere
monials made the pageant spectacular.
G. B. St. John explained the various
exhibits, which include many .valuable
features that were shown in the Pan-ama-Pacific
Exposition in San Fran
cisco. A number of leading members
of the W. C. T. TJ. received in the booth
in charge of that organization. The
Presbyterian board has one of the fin
est displays. The Congregationalists.
Lutherans, Episcopalians and others are
well represented.
Various relics from the Holy Land
are on view, as well as valuable em
broideries from the Orient.
The exhibition will be open each aft

Idea of Election to Presidency
Spreads to Most Members
of Commerce Body.
FAVORED MAN SURPRISED
Consideration of Proposal Is Prom
ised and Answer Is Expected
In Few Days Opposition Is
Xot Thought Probable.
Members of the Chamber of Com
merce who originated the movement to
elect Theodore B. Wilcox as president
of that body, are hopeful that their
plan will succeed.
Since the idea of electing Mr. Wilcox
first was suggested It has spread with
wonderful rapidity among the member
ship. The movement, which started
two or threo weeks ago, apparently
has permeated the entire organization.
While nearly every member of the
Chamber has been dwelling on this
thought for the last two or three
weeks, it is probable that Mr. Wilcox
himself was tho last person to hear of
it. Not until a few days ago was he
formally advised of the general demand
that he accept the presidency. Then a
committee of directors visited Mr. Wil
cox and urged him to allow his name
to be i.rcscnted.
upgreatlon Is Surprise.
The suggestion evidently came as a
surprise to Mr. Wilcox, who expressed
the view that other members might
be better able to serve the Chamber in
the executive capacity. He gave his
assurances that as an individual mem-
oer he would continue to support tho
important movements that the Cham
ber now has under way, but declined
at that time to say that ho would allow
the use of his name as a presidential
possibility.
Upon further presentations by the
committee Mr. Wilcox agreed to con
sider the proposal. He is expected to
give his answer within a few days. The
annual election in the Chamber takes
place about April 1.
So universal is tile prevailing senti
ment in favor of Mr. Wilcox that it is
more than probable indeed, almost
certain that if he allows his name to
be presented, no other candidate will
appear against him. C. C. Colt, the
present president, is eager to retire.
Under tho rules of the organization
the president must be chosen from the
hoard of directors. Inasmuch as there
is a vacancy in the &rain bureau, in
which Mr. .Wilcox holds membership,
the plan is to elect him a director lor
that bureau.
Ilnrcaus to Hold Elections.
Kach bureau, of which there are 10,
will hold its election separately. When
the Chamber was reorganized a year
ago each bureau elected three directors,
one each for a three-year, a two-year
and a one-year period. Those directors
elected for the one-year period and
whose terms expire this year are;
Membership council, Frank E. Smith;
civic bureau. Dean Vincent; retail mer
chants' bureau, J. C. English; traffic
and transportation, . C. B. Woodruff;
trade and commerce, Nathan Strauss;
industries and manufactures, O. K.
Heintz; publicity and conventions, J. C.
Ainsworth; Oregon development, C. C.
Chapman; legislation and taxation,
Edgar B. Piper; grain bureau, Thomas
Kerr.
Another vacancy exists on the grain
bureau owing to the death of Robert
Kennedy, who was elected last year
for the three-year term. It is planned
to elect Mr. Wilcox to this vacant
place.
Mr. Wilcox is president of the Port
land Flouring Mills Company, operating
plants and warehouses throughout the
Northwest. He always has taken an
active interest in the development of
the territory tributary to Portland, and
served as president of the old Com
mercial Club. He also was president
for a term of years of the Oregon De
velopment League.

ARTHUR. DISV, 20, IS ACCUSED BY
7-YEAR-OLD CHILD.
Youth Who Was "Keening; Company"
With An Older Sister Is Captured
After All-Mght Cuase.
For an alleged brutal attack made

Prominent Farmer in Canada
Describes His Recovery and
Escape From the Oper
ating Table.
In a letter to friends at Saskatoon.
Mr. F. Gifford. of Ine Ball Rock Farm.
Maymont, Saskatchewan. Canada, says:
"Thanks to Frultola and Traxo I am
alive. I lay on my back for sixteen
days, suffering the agonies of a dozen
deaths. I began taking Fruitola and
was relieved of a great many gall
stones. My health is now fully re
stored." Fruitola possesses properties that act
directly upon the intestinal parts. It
is a great system cleanser, softening
the congested waste and disintegrat
ing the hardened particles that cause
so much suffering, and quickly expels
the accumulation to the great relief of
the patient- Traxo is a tonic-alterative
that acts on the liver and kidneys, stimulates the flow of gastric juices to aid
digestion and removes bile from the general circulation. It serves to build
up and strengthen the weakened, run-down system.
Fruitola and Traxo are prepared in the Pinus laboratories at Monticello.
111., and arrangements have been mad e to supply them through representa
tive druggists. In Portland they can be obtained at The Owl Drug Co. stores.
Help Your Kidneys
To maintain the health of the body, it is very important that
the liver, as well as the kidneys, should be kept in a healthy
condition, as its secretions play a very important part in the
process of digestion and assimilation ; if it becomes inactive
or sluggish, various disorders arise, constipation is apt to
follow, with the usual ill effects.
Warner's Safe Kidney
and Liver Remedy
has been used with beneficial results during the past
40 years. It does not do the kidneys' work (nothing can
do that) but It assists in restoring and putting new
vigor into them. Made from herbs and other beneficial
ingredients and contains nothing injurious.

"The enly terror or excitement shown
aboard the Maloja while they were try
ing to lower the boats was on the part
of Lascars and some children who had
become separated from their mothers.
One child who was on deck near the
point of the explosion waa blown to
pieces, an officer told me.
"One thing which made an impres
sion on my mind while I was clinging
to a capsied boat was a "teddy bear'
which was floating about. The cox
swain of the boat which picked us up
rescued the toy. saying: 'I must have

Mr. Foster said he also was deeply
impressed by the bravery of the women
and the white crew of the Maloja, but
not by her Lascar crew.
