HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH EYRE GIVES HELP TO BALDWIN MEN Chester County Senator Says That He Is Satisfied Bald -1 win Will Be Elected T. J.arry Eyre, Senator-elect from Chester county and one of the Gover nor's managers in his tight lor local option in the session of 1915, came out In a statement last night In which he strongly urged the selection of Repre sentative Richard J. Baldwin, of Del aware county, for speaker of the House. The statement, which created con siderable stir at the Capitol, gave the result of a study of the situation by Mr. Eyre in the course of which he said that he was satisfied that Mr. Baldwin would be elected. Mr. Eyre said: "I have canvassed the speakership situation very care fully, and am thoroughly satisfied that Mr. Baldwin will be the next speaker of the House of Representatives with at least 110 vote for him in the Re publican caucus on the iirst ballot, which is more than a sufficient num ber to insure his election on the tloor of the House. "1 have read the claims of the op position, and from a personal knowl edge of the situation know that many of the assertions are without founda tion in fact, and are simply put forth for the purpose of trying to influence votes. "Mr. Baldwin has unquestionably represented the views of the constitu ency that sent him to Harrisburg, as Is strongly evidenced by the large ma jority which he had in his district both at the recent primaries and the recent general election. "Chester county has not always been in accord with the views of the Rep resentatives of Delaware county, but has always found that Mr. Baldwin was out in the open in his advocacy of any issue that he believed the majority of his constitutency favored, and there is not the least doubt that Mr. Bald win will give to all labor bills, local option bills and bills of any other character the widest latitude that could be accorded by anyone else who could occupy the position of speaker. "X have absolute confidence In the wisdom of the franiers of the Constitu tion, when they separated the govern ment into three branches —executive, legislative and judicial—and i do not think that one branch of government, by coercion or otherwise, should at tempt to direct the action of another branch in the selection of a presiding oificer. "I believe that the factional politics of Philadelphia should not be injected into a speakership contest, nor do I think the speaker of the House should come from Philadelphia, as that city to-day has more than her fair propor tion of the offices in the State of Penn sylvania. The speaker, in my judg ment, should come from a country district, and should be a man who has had the legislative experience that qualifies him to command the respect of the entire membership of the House of Representatives, and in looking over the membership of the House of Representatives it must be conceded that there is no man who possesses these qualifications to the same de gree as they are possessed by Richard J. Baldwin, of Delaware county, who will certainly be the next speaker of the House of Representatives at Har risburg."

Washington, Dee. 22.—Approval by Denmark's Parliament of the treaty by which the United States will ac quire the Danish West Indies opens the way for a prompt exchange of ratifications between the two Govern ments, and consummation of negotia tions that have been in progress inter mittently since the Civil War.

You know how con spicuous complexion defects appear under tlie bright light of the drawing or ball room. Also how very evident are some makeups when similarly il luminated. I have myself discarded cosmetics entirely, using a process which gives far better results, and which leaves no trace on the sktn. At night I smear on a thin coat of ordi nary mercollzed wax, washing it off next morning. This gradually absorbs the devitalized particles of surface skin; just as gradually the more youth ful skin beneath comes forth, providing a complexion as clear,-smooth and deli cately tinted as a young girl's. Oet an ounce of mercolized wax at your drug gist's and try this remarkable treat ment. Remember, too. that wrinkles, even the finer lines, are not easily concealed in a brilliantly lighted room. You can quickly obliterate these hateful marks by bathing your face in a solution of fiowdered saxoltte, one ounce, dissolved n witch hazel, one-half pint. And your face won't look sticky, as after using pastes.—Aunt Sally in Woman's Realm. —Advertisement. DECEMBER 22, 1916. i (lie institution of an American terri torial Government on the islands.
