, The high tension under which Phlladol
pM politician hnve bctn auKerlng for
the last two month becauao of tho com
plicated mayoralty situation hna been
relieved.
John Cnllnhnn, butcher, horseman and
antique dealer, has cleared up the
cloiidy and heretofore uncertain political
outlook by announcing himself as catidl
dele for Major, Thus the city slshs In
relief. At least one candidate, and the
only one, according to Mr. Callahan, has
announced his Intentions to the public,
putt Ave las before the nomination
papers are filed on the 31st.
It confidence and originality count for
anything In the race, Mr. Callahan Is as
(food as rlected. He has already inado
preparations to move Into City Hall. It
can hardly bo said that his platform has
been copied from any other politician.
Mr Callahan while flllntr his papers un
der the Keystone party name Intends to'
take the election by running on nil tho
tickets.
When seen In his nntlque shop at 2301
South street today Mr. Callahan affably
discussed his plans. Asked how he had
been persuaded to run, he cave the fol
lowing Interview:
WOULD FIX UP "ISLAND."
"Somebody read It In the papers to me
tiiat they was uolng to elect a Mayor.
Says 1, I'm capable of nlllnjj that olllcc.
I've lived 40 years on this Island and
know my business. Vhy, I led the first
parado of rood drivers In this city. I saja
to myself. You know I've been twice a
millionaire I says this Is the chance to
run for Mayor; rjrab some change; fix
the Island up and then retire."
Here Mr. Callahan produced two regis
tration Jjaptrs with 101 names signed on
them. Tho names were evidently thOBe
et neighbors. Under the Item of "occu
pation" two signers had Written "Gent."
When questioned about It. Mr. Callahan
explained:
"Oh,, thoy's all right. They're way up
In the wo: Id, they're gentlemen. Thay
don't liave to work. By the way. It don't
hurt If negroes sign, does It?" "When as

Of voting age, ho continued:
"Living here, as I have. In tho black

tcrs the word, "Brothers and Sisters Help
Sto." lly that eln nlone I'll carry the
city. That's how many orders I bclonc to.
They'll nil help me. nnd It means a clean
weep. No, It ain't tho Mnsons," he said
In response to a query.
DLANKENBUnO DOESN'T FIT
"Why, you've never hail n Maor as
capable as the one you'ro talltlng to now,"
Mr. Callahan continued, forBcttlnc nppnb
cntly for the minute thnt ho was not ot
Mayor "IllnnkcnburK-ho's all rlBht. but
he's all tied up. He can't get around
Councils, he has to learn: whereas you
don't have to learn me. I'm nlready
learnt Tho Mayor Is a line fellow, all
right, or 1 wouldn't a' kept him In my
window here. I tried hard to get him
where he Is. 1 kept him lit this window
four years, 'but he don't fit tho bill. He's
n foi etcher, whereas I'm a natUc, be
cause I've lived hero 40 years."
At this point a typical "down and out"
walked In too shop rather unsteadily and,
with a very serious countenance, said
"Ah, Maor Callahan, how Is the OKlit
progressing?" He spoke perfect English.
AftT a conference nalde, In which tho
words "boss" and "ward leader" could
bo heard, the man left, after being prom
Iscd a Job in the gas house.
DETTErt QUAItTERS FOR PIGS
When asked If he were not afraid of
Congressman Vare as. a candidate, Mr.
Cnlahnn replied mirthfully: "The Vnres
don't want It. They want me; I'm a
Varo man same as I am a McNlchol man.
All they want Is a Vare man. We'ro
going to build this island up again. Hill
and I. It's going to the dogs. Besides, I
know all about pigs. I can (hang, kill
and treat a pig. I know all about them."
Asked If he did not think It was essen
tial to know something besides how to
kill pigs in order to be Mayor of Phila
delphia, Mr. Callahan said: "Nc. It's
the pigs and cement that rule this city.
Jim rules all north, nnd Vare nil south.
Jim likes the wood blocks nnd cement,
while Bill, ho likes the pips. Under
stand, I don't mean to knock them
they're fine fellows. Give them honey
nil the way through tho article. They'll
make this Island right if people would
only Ut them alone."
Mr. Callahan then dived Into the Intri
cacies of the various parties and political
factions. All the Progressives are his
staunch friends, as are tho Independents
and the Democrats, he said. He had lived
on the island 40 years and they all know
him, he said. He also Intimated that lio
might be the "fusion candidate" In the
event that an agreement between tho
warring parties Is Anally reached. As
for his campaign. It will not go beyond
tho confines of South street until ho Is
nominated.
"I won't go campaigning until I'm nomi
nated," he said. "I'd hate to go around
making a big nolso and then get beat.
It would be too much like making a fool
out of myself."' Again he was Interrupted
when a woman came in to price an
antique piano. "Scventy-flvo dollars,
lpdy, and If I'm elected I'll give It to
you."
HIS BROAD REPUTATION.
"You see, I'm known all over tho city
and a good part of the country: that is,
by people of any account like Harry, the.
saloon man, on the corner over there.
You can't mention a place I'm not known,
Germantown, North Philadelphia and
everywhere. You see, I've lived here 40
years and they all know me. Ask them
down In tho 36th Ward who Jbhn Is,"
Then Mr, Callahan discussed his plat
fcrm. No Jitneys because thoy hurt tho
P. It. T. Votes for women because If
women voted thoy would maybe re-elect
him. No more street cars because all
the streets were already "occupied" with
enru. He favored the opening of saloons
tiu Sundays from 2 until 1 to give thirsty
peoplo a chance to get "a bit" before
and after church. Also, -It would kill
tho "speakeasies." Mr. Calahan dcciled
tho housing conditions for pigs on the
"Neck" and said he would have them
Immediately remedied,
"Why pigs Is human." he said. "I'd
havo every one washed and build better
pens for them. They got nature, those
animals have. As for the Convention
Hall, that ought to be put on South
street, and that's whero I'll put It. Tho
smartest young men In the country live
around here and they need it."
CONTRACT8 FOR VAnE AND
McNICHOL.
"Then I would have lots of parades
to amuse tho people. If the people had
some attraction at homo they wouldn't
go out of the city to spend their money,
and we want to keep the money here.
All children and "chickens" should be
olT the streets by 10 o'clock, too, AH
contracts would so. to McNlchol and
Vare. They're the best In the city.
Mr, Callahan said that he had not picked
his cabinet and advisers yet as he hadn't
thought about It."
"First, I'm going to hire someone to
lead ma around that building," he said,
referring to .City Hall. "It'a too big for
me to tackle. Even though I've lived 40
years here. I don't know much about It.
My lawyers are working on my affairs;
X have four of them to handle my estate,
you know; 1 used to havo 12 before I got
broke."
EYES ON PRESIDENCY.
As Mr, Callahan discussed the various
questions he became more enthusiastic.
"And it I run the city to eult tha people
I will do a further duty to the country,
I'll run for aovernor I'm known all
over the State, There's nothing too big,
because I'm trained. If I made good as
Governor I'd, run for President 1 lived
In this country 44 years 11 nd know all
about it J could handle the German alt
uatlon or anything f 1 have enough
backers,
I know I couW make a good President
uecause an you nava to do in Washington
la to mention my name, and I've been at
through the White House."

VARE'S HESITATION
EXPLAINED BY FRIEND
J. W. Frazier Says Congress
man's Work for Brumbaugh
May Keep Him Out of Field
To tlie Editor of the Evening Ledger!
Sir Four years ngo Rudolph Blankcn
burg was Maor-crnxy, nnd William H.
Varo appeared to bo similarly affected.
With four years ndded to his life. Blank
cnburg scorns more nftected now than
he vas In 1111 so much under Its Influenco
that In violation of the Shern law ho Is
calling meetings of political leaders, In
cluding members of his cabinet, for the
purpose of nominating a candidate for
Maor: and In tho meantime Congress
man Varo Is serenely giving serious con
sideration to tho matter, with a view of
reaching a conclusion that In his Judg
ment will best promote the public wel
fare. Four years ago David H. Lane then,
as now, chairman of tho Republican City
Committee was the most aggressive Varo
leader In Philadelphia. Ho formed what
was known as the Steel Pier Association,
for the purpose of advancing the candi
dacy of Mr. Vare. Mr. Lane was Its
chaliman, Thomas Wlltbank Its treas
urer and I Its secretary, and that asso
clatlnn held meetings at least three times
a week on tho Steel Pier, Atlantic City,
for more than two months.
Four yc.ars ago I went Into the Varo
movement reluctantly, a doubting Thomas
as to Its advisability; but my close nmila
tlon with Mr. Lane for many ea!s and
my fealty to him led mo to accept tho
secrctarshlp, and when the movement
was made tu assassinate the character of
Major Rcburn, the Varca and other po
litical leaders I went Into the movement
with all the earnestness I possessed.
I.ANE DISAPPOINTED.
Mr. Lnnc, having recently called a con
ference of leaders wiUi a view of secur
ing a candidate for Mayor acceptable to
all Republican leaders, nnd having been
mado chairman of that conference, tho
L St0r'SP5r-'.Aoflntlnn llnu hol.I nn for
mal meeting this summer, but Its secrc-
taiy nas Kept In very closo touch with
Its chalrmorli spending nn agreeable hour
with Mr., Lnnc, or with Mr. Vare, fre
quently on Sunday mornings. Sometimes
an hour with each on tho samo Sunday
morning, as I did last Sunday, and from
my talk with my chalrmon, I can say
that Mr. Lane Is keenly disappointed at
the great loaders of tho party being un
able to unite upon a candidate acceptable
alike tO all factions nf th Tletmhtlmn
Organization, and he does not even now
give up hope of sincere harmony as to
the candidates, whether chosen by his
conference, or by the whole Republican
party at the primary election In Septem
ber. Of one thing Mr. Lane is absolutely
confident, and that Is the candidate
whoever he may be will receive, the
most loyal support of all factions,
that his election In November will be in
excess of 100,000 Republican majority nnd
that Ho man will do more to secure thnt
icsult than the chairman of the Harmony
Conference.
As to Mr. Vare, I can Bay with abso
lute truth that up to last Sunday mornlna
the Congressman was wholly undecided
ob to what his duty in the matter was,
tho thought and feeling Influencing hlrti
wns as to which position he could best
serve the public whether as Major of
Philadelphia or as a member of Congress
and If ever a man was sincere In trying
to reach a high conclusion as to his stand
In a great public duty, that man was W.
S. Vare.
Since four years ago Mr. Varo hna
twice, been elected to Congress once to
fill the vacancy caused by the death of
General Bingham and then for n full
ierm and his duties as Congressman are
congenial, the environments of congres

bership on the Committee of Appropria
tions In tho House Is of such ft character
as to mako him equally as Influential as
n minority member Senator upon a simi
lar committee In the Senate.
LOYAL TO BRUMBAUGH.
And I believe there Is one other very
important matter that has caused Mr.
Vare to hesitate until the present tltrio
ns to the mayoralty matter, and that Is
the presidency In 1016. Having presented
the nnme of Governor-elect Brumbaugh
for the presidency at a dinner given by
him last December to a number of dis
tinguished nnd Influential Republican
leaders Senators and Congressmen from
bther States Mr. Vnrc feels that hla duty
to tho Governor Is to do everything In
his po.vor to advance tho Interest of Gov
ernor Brumbaugh, in the event of his
being n candidate for President, nnd the
problem t perplexing to him la how
It best can be done, whether by continu
ing as Congressman, which puts him In
close touch with influential Republicans
from every State in the Union, or bv
Yielding to the Insistent and persistent
demnnds of hosts of friends from every
ward in tho city of Philadelphia to stand
for the maj-oraltj-. But, above ail, the
question with Mr. Vare Is: In which po
sition can ho best serve his party and at
the same time promote the public good?
If ftom the very interesting talk I had
with Mr. Vnre I were to attempt to form
an opinion, I would say that It was WHi
for Congress, and I am wholly unpre
pared to say what tho percentage for the
mayoralty was.

A Touring Car with a
Racer's Heart-for$1350
The Chalmers Six-40 seven passenger touring car is not a racer.
Yet within the limits of road car service the great valve-in-head over
head camshaft motor will do all for you that it did for DePalma and
Kesta when they won the Indianapolis and Chicago 500-mile races.
The same eager power, the same "trigger-quick" get-away, the same
iron-hearted endurance, are yours applied to touring car demands
OTHER manufacturers are announ
cing multiple cylinder and other
new motor types to be available some
time in the future.
Greatest Proved Motor
But the Chalmers Motor Company is
NOW selling daily more than 100 of
these cars equipped with the greatest
prooed type of motor in the world.
Thk powerful valve-in-head. overw
head camshaft motor is the power
plant all Europe had began to use for
stock cars before the war came on. It
is identical with the type that aver
aged the unheard of speeds of 90, 98
and 102 miles ah hour at Indianapolis
and Chicago. ;.
Easiest Riding Car in the World
Its unstinted wheeibase (1 24 inches)
permits the "Sqc-W to swing over the
bumps with the easy motion of a boat.
The springs are wonderful. They
are of special construction and the
main leaves are vanadium steel.
The rear springs are 57 inches long
the longest on s.ny car at the price,
and the longest and most comfortable
on any car at any price, weight considered.
