HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
WILLIAMS SAYS
HE'S IN THE FIELD
Talks With the Governor, but
Declares That He Is Still
a Candidate
Representative George \V. Williams,
the Tiona county local option leader
who last week announced his candi
dacy for speaker of the House of Rep
resentatives, spent an hour with Gov
ernor Brumbaugh in company with
Representative Prank H. Marvin, his
colleague, early this afternoon and
declared when he left the executive
chamber that he was a candidate for
speaker and would go into the caucus
as such.
The Tioga countlan came here this
morning on a visit to this part of the
State. Mr. Williams suid that he had
business with Capitol departments anj
that he had not been sent for.
"I have been heading this way for
several days and dropped in to visit
the Governor with' Mr. Marvin while
here," was his explanation "of the
\ isit.
"Are you still a candidate for speak
er?" was asked.
"I certainly am." replied Mr. Wil
liams. and Mr. Marvin added: "He is
going right through with it."
"Did the Governor ask you to re
tire?" was then asked.
"Now, I came here to visit the Gov
ernor and wetalked legislation and
naturally talked about the speaker
ship," replied Mr. Williams. "He did
not ask me to get out and I did not
ask him to support me. He knows 1
am a candidate and that 1 am going
to remain such."
When asked if there was any possi
bility of him being a candidate out
sige of the caucus, Mr. Williams re
plied, "1 never thought of such a thing.
1 am going intothe caucus and as 1
said I intend to be a candidate for
speaker and to work for that end.
This is my tight and I am going to
make it as hard as I can."
Representative C. F. Benchoff, of
Franklin county, was also a caller at
the Governor's office. So was Repre
sentative C. E. Cook, of DUlsburg, and
Congressman D. F. Lafean.

CITY TO SETTLE
LIGHT QUESTION
{Continued From Fust l*a#e.]
without disturbing the present rate
of nine and a half mills.
Otherwise, city commissioners l>e
lievc, tlio city will either have to dis
pense witli all new plans that will
mean an expenditure of additional
money anil pare the budget to a bare
skeleton—or raise the tax rate to ten
mills.
The I .aw of Common Sense
That the diversion of the water
earnings can readily be accom
plished is the prediction in municipal
circles in the light of the opinions
submitted yesterday by Assistant
Solicitor E. Bruce Taylor, supported
by ex-City Solicitor Thomas S. Har
gest.
While Messrs. Taylor, Hargest and
ex-Judge M. W. Jacobs, who was also
consulted by Mr. Taylor in the matter,
frankly agree that the matter could
be finally settled in the courts, they
all believe that the adaptation of a
liberal construction of the law on the
subject would permit the city to act.
Special acts of 1835, 1839, 1871 and
1873 relating to the borough and city,
quoted fully by Mr. Hargest's opinion,
contain all directions with regard to
expenditure of water revenues, "but,"
declared Mr. Taylor, "it is my opinion
that these directions have been super
seded by provisions of a later general
acts regarding bonded indebtedness,
by the act of 1889 and by the probable
fact that all of the indebtedness em
braced by these old special acts have
been paid in full." Notwithstanding
11 he fact that the Clark act permits
council to take over the water de
partment management, Mr Taylor be
lieves the provisions for application
of the water revenues as provided by
the 1883 act still hold good
Inconsistent?
Furthermore, Mr Taylor points out,
the 1889 act remains in force except
where there are inconsistencies with
the Clark act, and in his judgment
there is no inconsistency in the earlier
law Insofar as handling of water rev
enues is concerned. Assessment for
laying water pipe are still laid under
the provisions of the 1 889 act he ex
plains, and "To hold that this article
is repealed by the act of 11)13 woukl
strike down this power."
The assistant solicitor refers to
Judge Endlich's decision on the Read-
Ing rases and declares that after all,
"WAS MISERABLE,"
SAYS BARBER LUCAS
Was Suffering From Indigestion,
Nervousness and Run Down
Condition
XOW KEELS FIXE
"Tanlac has surely been a good
and faithful friend of me," says R.
M. Lucas, a well-known barber, who
lives at 234 So. 13th St., Harrisburg,
Pa., "for Tanlac stayed by me when
,all other medicines failed and it has
done me a lot of good.
"For a long time X suffered from
nervousness, indigestion and a gen
eral run down condition. I had fre
quent terrible headaches, I could
scarcely at anything and my stom
ach felt heavy all the time.
"I couldn't sleep either and I used
to wake up feeling so tired in the
mornings, in fact, I felt as though I
had ji;st finished an extra hard day's
work.
"As I say I tried all sorts of medi
cines but they all failed to help me
until I began taking Tanlac on the
advice of some of my friends and since
then I have noticed a daily improve
ment in my condition.
"Tanlac has driven all the poisons
out of my system and I feel like a
new man all over. My stomach is in
fine condition so that I can eat and
enjoy my meals; my nerves are strong
as can be and I sleep like a log, wak
ing up fresh, rested and ready for a
big day'S work.
"I can truthfully say that Tanlac
has done wonders for me and I con
sider it a most reliable medicine."
Tanlac, the famous reconstructive
tonic is now being introduced here
at Gorgas' Drug Store, whep£ the
Tanlac man is meeting the people
and explaining the merits of this
master medicine.

Should He Judicial Decision
In order to get all the light possible :
on the subject, he obtained an opin
ion from Mr. Hargest, consulted with j
ex-Judge Jacobs, City Solicitor James 1
A. Gardner, New Castle, and chairman j
of the law committee of the Pennsyl
vania third-class city league and oth- !
era. Mr. Hargest contends that the |
Clark act repeals the act of ISB9 and
former special acts, thus abolishing j
restrictions as to using the water rev- j
enues except those relating to exten
sions and improvements of the bor- |
ough as provided by the act of 1835. j

i out, while more or less inclined to
! agree with Mr. Hardest, considers it
j an open question, that either Mr. Har
j fiest or the assistant city adviser may
Ibe correct, and that, to settle the
, question beyond a doubt there should
!be a judicial decision. The safest
course, therefore, until the matter is
adjudicated, Mr. Taylor thinks, would
be to continue the expenditure of
j water department funds as provided
I by the act of 'B9.
The Conclusion
"Wliile at first blush," sums up the
assistant solicitor, "it might appear
that the language of this act absolute- 1
ly restricts the application of surplus ;
. water earnings remaining after full'
compliance with the provisions of the
act, to the purposes of the water de
partment, I believe we are justilicd in
adopting a more literal and coiunion
sense construction."
After expressing the belief that the
intention of the 1889 act was to make
the water department self-supporting
and to insure its solvency, Mr. Taylor
concludes:
••I do not believe (lie restriction wan
intended to go further than to secure
the payment of the cost of operating
| the department and of the indebted
' ncss of or for the department, or
I that it was intended to prevent any
| additional surplus earnings from being;
1 applied as directed by council."
