CITY WILL BE UTOPIA IF EITHER
OF THESE MEN IS THE NEXT MAYOR
P. M. STACKHOUSE
Moses Stem and Picrson M. Stackhouse Tell What Will Happen
When the Ambitions of Their Lives Are Realized Unfortu
nately, at Least One of Them Will Be Disappointed.
Points From the
Platform of Stackhouse
Permanent emergency fund to
help the poor.
No campaign contributions from
certain corporations.
No tainted money or cash with
the semblance of taint to bo used
in tho city's business.
A jitney magnate for Director of
Public Safety.
More playgrounds for the poor,
big and little.
Dr. Mosc3 Steurn was stowing somo
fresh peas.
Ho stopped In tho courso of his cull
nary work when a caller arrived and an
nounced that ho was going to run for
Mayor. In fact, If wo are not mistaken,
ho said ho was already running.
The doctor was clad in his Immaculate
whlto suit. Ho waa minus n collar and
tie, for tho steam from tho stowpan was
wreathing about his amplo features. The
third-story ofneo at his homo, 331 South
6th street, was hot. Tho heat plus tho
steam would havo been enough to squeeze
tho enthusiasm out of nny ono but Doc
tor Stcnrn.
"A man's gotta show tho people somo
hot stuff theBO days If ho wants to run
for Mayor," said tho doctor, and to Il
lustrate his point ho Bhook somo pepper
on tho peas. Then, dropping In an arm
chair, with a watchful eye on tho pan,
tho candidate said: "I havo reasons for
running for tho office, and I hhvo a plat
form which will glvo the people a chance
to help themselves."
"I know there's lots of grafters known
by omclal names, who are helping them
selves now. But what I mean Is that
I would provide equality of opportunity.
Lots of men can't get work becauso they
can't get shaved, so I would advocate
free barber shopB under Board of Health
supervision. A man could get a shave,
which Is a start up tho ladder. I would
havo a system of extermination and
thero would bo frco shaves for tho down-nnd-outer
nnd no graft for tho up-and-
lnnen . ...
"I would havo a poor man's Jitney to
ride any place any time. I'd got up a
plan to get rid of flabbergast Counctlmon
who throttlOthe poor Jits and then grab
up J23.000 of the people's money nnd roll
off to FrlBCO cloaked by tho Liberty
Bell.
"And then I would keep tho bathhouses
constantly open and give the Idle water
a chunce to work. Then a man could
batho when he got tho chance and no ono
would have nn excuse for dirt not even
a politician.
"I would have tho movies and tho
theatres open on Sunday. Then the poor
devils who worked day and night for the
good of tho body could go and laugh for
the good of the souls.
"Thero are too many tears In the world
nnd not enough smites. So I say let us nil
laugh nnd bo clean. And let us pay our
debts. I would have something in my plat
form. If we all had all the money that
was owed to us, thero would be more
room In the poorhouseB and tho under
takers would find business mighty slim.
"I'm going on the Independent ticket."
he declared, as ho poured the peas Into a
big white dish, "and If ony one thinks I
haven't a chance I'd advise them not to

Dr. Steam's Platform
Free shaves for the downand

A poor man's jitney to ride any
place any time.
Sunday theatres so that working
men may laugh for the benefit of
their souls.
Constantly open bath houses eo

Laws to compel quick payment of

ing of poorhouses. '

And tho doctor dug n tablespoon Into tho

Another aggressive candidate, Picrson
M. Stackhouse, declined to discuss tho
platform of Doctor Steam. Typewriters
within a few days will begin to grind
out tho platform of Stackhouse, and a
permanent headquarters of his workers
will bo selected shortly, it will bo lo
cated in an offlco building In tho central
part of tho city.
Stackhouso Issued a statement that he
will pOBltlvoly accept no campaign con
tributions from certain corporations who
haven't been serving tho public faith
fully. He Insists that he won't accept
any tainted money. Should tainted money
reach the headquarters it will bo sent
back to tho contributor. A special squad
will bo selected by Stackhouso to handle
this kind of cash. Ho said today that
members of this squad will be trained
men.
"I am a candidate for Mayor of Phila
delphia on the Republican ticket," said
Stackhouse, after holding an executive
session with several of his lieutenants.
Tho cdnferenco took placo a short dis
tance from tho Lincoln Building.
"Within tho next fow days, ho added,
"my headquarters wilt be opened. I havo
recolvod assurances from many prominent
persons who say that they will support
mo at tho polls. Will I be elected? I am
confident that tho taxpayers of Philadel
phia will perform their duty I mean that
they will vote for me. It Is truo that I
have been a candidate before. It is truo
that I have been defeated at other elec
tions held in this city. But you remember
what Francis Bacon used to say. He said
persistency Is often rowarded.
"I am in favor of having a permanent
emergency fund. This fund should be In
the Mayor's office and should contain
ready cash to help tho poor of Philadel
phia. I am also in favor of having play
grounds for tho children of tho poor."
air. Stackhouse Intimated that In the
event he was elected he would make somo
radical changes in the Department of Pub
lics Safety.. It was learned from authentic
sources that ho would appoint a prominent
Jitney magnate of Philadelphia as the
next Director of Public Safety. Accord
ing to Stackhouse's friends he Is anxious
to bring about several unique improve
ments in the trafllo regulations of this
city. The Jitney magnate for years has
been making a study of traffic regulations
throughout the country.
REPUBLICANS AT ODDS
IN NEW CASTLE COUNTY
Levy Court's Refusal to Submit to In
quiry Stirs Party Strife.
WILMINGTON, Del.. July 7.-Tho
Chamber of Commerce having twice sug
eested to tho Levy Court that the affairs
of tho county be Investigated, and the
Levy Court having refused the sugges
tion, a lively fight among somo of tho
Republicans in this county is threatened.
The members of the Levy Court say tho
Chamber of Commerce, Is being used by
those opposed to the Levy Court to fight
their battles; the Chamber of Commerce
denies this. The reason given for the
proposed investigation Is that for some
time the county was unable to pay its
bills and that an investigation would re
lieve the Levy Court from ciT.lclsm If It
were found that body was not responsible.
In Its lost reply the Levy Court asserts
that tho Investigation was suggested to
the Chamber of Commerce not to help
but to harass. ,
Probably a year ago there was a fight
over the construction of tho Third street
bridge, and sinco then there has been all
kinds of trouble. At the last session of
the Legislature an effort was made to
pass a law changing the entire Levy
Court system and friends of tho Levy
Court say Governor Charles R. Miller
was In favor of this new law. Other Re
publicans took a hand and defeated the
project.
Now, it is alleged, that theVsame per
sona ore behind the Investigation plan
and got the Chamber of Commerce to
start it. Ono of the Republican news
papers which is supposed to represent the
Republican organization has not only
dewended the Levy Court, but has Invited
the Chamber of Commerce to have an In
vestigation and thereby show why the
city of Wilmington has not secured a few
nw Industries. It U generally accepted,
however, that if thero is a body of poli
ticians behind the movement the Cham
ber of Commerce is onUrely Innocent of
anvknowledse of It.
To add to ths discomforts of the Levy
Court tn Central Labor Union has a.
committee endeavoring to find a way to
.f ",Junck'n proceeding to provent
the Court from placing the new tax rats
of SO cunts on the (100 into effect The
matter was discussed at the moating of
tno body last night, and there 1 a deter
m.Battoa to push it forward if it u poa

Tho report that tho Government will

much speculation at Lcaguo Island ns to
tho probability of cxtenslvo submarlno

That undersea boats enn be built ns

"After Transport No. 1 is finished wo
