"Yes, there's a real NINTY-NINE

"But I don't yxpect anyone to be

"The annual crop of hay-fever jokes
would be mighty scarce if people

"Many ot my hay-fever friends tell
me that by starting to gargle and

fails to appear and in cases where it
does show up is very mild and does
not annoy."

inet members his plans for calling
the conference of labor and indus
try, the plans for which were tirst
announced in his Labor Day address,
j It was decided that the entire pro
ducing world as well as the big em
ployers of labor should be called to
gether to discuss the economic con
ditions in an effort to arrive at a
plan where, as President Wilson
said, "labor will be placed on a new
footing."
It was announced at the White
' Uouse that representatives of agri
ulture as well as labor and capital
t .-mould be in the conference which
. the President will call early in Oc
tober. Letters will be sent to-mor
row by President Wilson to fifteen
men representing these respective
activities and the list will be en
larged before the conference meets.
The identity of those who will
receive the first invitations was not
divulged. It is believed that in the
list are Samuel Gompers, president
of the American Federation of La
bor; Charles Schwab, of the Bethle
hem Steel Company; Elbert 11. Gary,
of the United States Steel Corpora
tion; representatives of the Railroad
! Brotherhood, and representatives of
i the packing industry; Daniel Wil
; ird. of the Baltimore & Ohio, and
I W. W. AJler bury, of the Pennsyl
| vania Railroad, will be there as
| spokesman for the railroads,
j Secretary Lane, who tirst sug
| gested this conference last week
| when the situation between capital
am} labor became tense, was author
ized by President Wilson to work
out the details for the conference
and devise means of making it suc
cessful. Mr. Lane has the confi
dence of labor and capital and, per
haps, is the best man in the Cabinet
to arrange for the conference be
cause of his wide knowledge of con
ditions.
During the absence of President
Wilson the program will be com
pleted and when he returns all that
will be necessary is to issue the
formal call. When the conference
meets. Secretaries Lane, Wilson and
Houston and perhaps Secretary
Baker will sit with the President
and direct different activities.
While this conference to deal with
conditions in the United States is in
progress there will be conference
here known as the international la
bor conference to discuss labor con
ditions as laid down by the Treaty
with Germany. A call has been is
sued for October 29, but perhaps
this will have to be postponed un
less the Treaty is ratified by that
time.
Wliether the international confer
ence meets at the same time or not
as the labor conference to be called
by President Wilson, the labor con
ference is sure to have a vital bear
ing upon the international confer
ence when it does finally assemble.
Secretary of Labor Wilson issued
a statement in which he said that
America could not participate in the
international conference until the
Treaty is ratified.

BIG REPUBLICAN
REGISTRATION IN CITY
[Continued from First Page.]
more strongly anti-Wilson, the big
registration is easily accounted for.
City Campaign Is Brisk
The primary campaign has taken
on new activity since the Labor
1 Day vacation period and from now
I until election the various candidates
| will be busy. Considerable inter
! est is displayed in the Republican
i mayoralty contest, in which there
| are four candidates. Alderman
i George A. Hoverter, who has the
I support of the Republican orgaai
j zation in the city, is conducting a
I very quiet but what his friends say
jis an effective campaign and they
| express confidence of his nomina
' tion. The alderman is a native of
I Harrisburg and has long been active
! in city affairs, having served in the
j old Select Council previous to the
i adoption of the Clark act. He has
j been alderman of the Ninth ward
I for years and has a wide acquaint
i anceship throughout the city. An
i other aldermanic aspirant for the
i mayoralty is John H. Shaner, ulder-
I man of the Seventh ward, also a
; native of Harrisburg and for years
J prominent in uptown politics. He
was formerly a blacksmith but for
f some years has been alderman of
| his district. He has been in the
j race since last spring and says he is
s receiving many promises of support,
j Mayor Keister is also a candidate
j to succeed himself and is getting
| round quite a bit. The Mayor went
| into office on the nonpartisan ticket
I but is now running in the Republi
can primaries and his friends say
! the four-cornered race is helping his
j prospects. The fourth candidate is
j Patrick J. Kenny, a street sweeper,
j whose platform is made up chiefly
j of labor planks.
On the Democratic side Dr. G. W.
Hartman, head of the Keystone
| Hospital, who was defeated for
coroner last time, is the organiza
! tion choice for mayor. William B.
i McNair, out-and-out labor advocate,
was the only man on the ticket up
to the last minute, but the Demo
cratic bosses here declined to stand
for him. They didn't like his plat
form, they said, and sent out lieu
tenants to line up another candi
date. Dr. Hartman was tagged and
at the very last minute petitions
were filed for him. He is making
only a nominal canvass but will
have the support of what is left of
the Democratic city committee.
Councibnanie Contests
Charles W. Burtnett, Dr. Samuel
P. Hassler, William H. Lynch and
E. Z. Gross, present incumbents, are
admittedly in the lead for renomi
j nation on the Republican councll
manic ticket. They were all elect
|ed on the nonpartisan ticket two
| years ago. With the change of
I the election laws they are now on
1 the Republican ticket and are mak-
I ing very strong bids for renomina
-1 tion. Mr. Burtnett has made a very
excellent record in the financial end
j of the city government while Mr.
j Lynch is unquestionably one of the
I best highway commissioners in the
| State. Dr. Hassler, who has had
j charge of the water and health de
partments, has plans under way for
big improvements which he hopes
to make the coming year. George
D. Toomey, who is a Pennsylvania
railroad man, is getting about
among his friends on the Republi
can side, while R. L. Dare, a rail
road fireman residing in the Hill
section, is also making a strong bid
for votes on the Republican side.
Both are well known in railroad cir
cles. The other candidate is Benja
min H. Reichert, a collector, well
known in the city.
Strange to say there Is some ap
pearance of a contest for Council
in the Democratic party. Harry H.
Grant, William S. Rhoads, Calder
B. Shammo, George J. Shoemaker
and George D. Toomey being the
aspirants, the last named striving
i for place in the opposing party as
; well. James G. Miles is the only
I Democratic candidate for city treas
urer. but on the Republican side
there is a sharp contest for the
nomination between Clarence E.
Oves and Clarence E. Weber. Weber
was a compromise selection after a
bitter fight during the nonpartisan
| days when city treasurers were
elected by Council and he wants a
second term. Oves has been promi
nent in city politics for years, as
chairman of the Republican city
committee. He served a short term
as city treasurer and is well known
in business circles. He has the back
ing of the Republican organization.
DeWitt A. Fry, former councilman
and at preeent city controller, is a
candidate for renomination on the
Republican ticket with bright pros
pects for success, his friends say.
Harry R. Brown is his opponent.
He and George J. Shoemaker, Dem
ocratic aspirant for Council, are the
only soldier candidates on the
ticket. G. C. Berkheimer is the sole
Democratic candidate for control
ler.
GAME PLENTY IN PERRY

ed the use of the park for the occa- j
sion. The plans, the details of which
will be worked out by the commit- |
tee, will be announced at an early i
date. All citizens of Harrisburg will
be urged to turn out to accord a wel- i
come to the veterans of the Army, \
Navy and Marines.
It has been decided, moreover, to '
extend the welcome to all veterans
; of the Greater Harrisburg district,
| thereby in-eluding the soldiers and
sailors from immediately adjacent |
j towns, both in Dauphin county and
on the West Shore. Some of these
communities already have had their '
welcome-home demonstrations, but 1
the men, nevertheless, will be wel- i
come at the jubilee in honor of the
local veterans, it was announced. i
| More than 3,000 men are estimat- !
ed to have been in Harrisburg's con- !
i tribution to the military and naval
; forces during the war, so that the
| arrangements for the coming event
j must be made on a large scale.;
S Therefore, the work of organizing
j the proper committee and carrying i
; out the arrangements will be expe- j
dited as much as possibte.

GOVERNMENT OF

URGED BY ROOT
Former Secretary of State
Cites Chaos in Russia
and Unrest in U. S.
Boston, Sept. 3.—A plea for "a
government of laws, not of men,"
was made yesterday by Kliliu Root,
former 'Secretary of State. Speak
ing as the chairman at a confer
ence of the delegates to the annual
convention of the American Bar As
sociation, Mr. Root coupled ;n his
references a description of the cha
otic condition of Russia and the
conditions of unrest whi-h he said
now exists in the United States.
Contrasting the high cast of liv
ing with the fact that in spite of it
there was never such extravagance,
the former secretary added that

never before previously had there
been such difficulty in getting lite
ordinarily industrious people of
common sense down to work
"One of the condi'tons the war
has produced," lie continued, "is
that illectua! and moral attitude in
which law and limitations on in
dividual action are held in low es
teem."
Deportatibn as the most effective
means of solving the problem of
radicalism in this country was ad
vocated before the attorneys gen
eral by Charles D. Newton, attor
ney general of New York. Mr. New
ton, who is also counsel for the
New York legislative committee to
investigate Bolshevism, said that as
a first step to stem the flow of radi
cal utterances "it will become neces
sary to prosecute and convict some
of the more radical ones who have
openly defied the law by flagrantly
preaching the doctrines of violence
and overthrow of government.'*
Attorney General Jonn G Price,
of Ohio, advocated complete Fed
eral supervision of cold storage
plants. His suggestion that *he as
sociation draft uniform laws re
garding hoarding, margins of
profits, etc.. for sbumission to all
States was followed by the intro
duction of a resolution to this effect
by Deputy Attorney General Wil
liam M. Hargest of Pennsylvania.
The resolution, which suggested
that the national conference of
commissioners on uniform State
laws, now in session hfre, co-op
erate in drafting legislations to gov

To Get Strong and
Put on Flesh
People who have tried it say that
one of the quickest and surest ways
in wheh those who are weak, thin,
nervous and run down can grow
strong and put on pounds of solid
stay-there flesh, is to take a 5-grain
tablet of Blood-Iron Phosphate with
each meal. This is doubtless diw
to the well known fact that Blood-
Iron Phosphate quickly bulls up de
i pleted nervous energy and at the
I same time supplies the iron neces
i sary to make rich, red, strength
building blood. If you are weak,
I thin, nervous, or are lacking in th
old time vigor, endurance and op
timism. go to Geo. A. Gorgas or any
other good druggist and get enough
Blood-Iron Phosphate to last thret
I weeks and take as drected. If at th
end of three weeks you don't feel
one hundred per cent, better ami
aren't in every way satisfied you car
have your money back for the ask
ing. Fair, isn't it? Better try il
to-day.
