fI£PIJBLICJN SENATORS
DIVIDED ON GALLINGER
Insurgents Say He Will Never
Be President Pro-Tern.
Looks Like Dead-Lock
bt balfx smith.
WASHINGTON. D. C, May IX—Bal
loting for the election of a president
pro tempore of the senate will be re
sumed Monday only in the event Vice
President Sherman is absent. Ts he is
on hand to hold the gavel and set the
senate machinery in motion, it is not
likely that any effort will be made to
break the deadlock over a successor to
Senator Frye. If he should fall to show
up the senate will of necessity proceed
to the election of a president pro tem.
It is believed Sherman will be pres
ent to avoid any further embarrass
ment pending a compromise of the dif
ferences among the vtepublicans.
’ Tonight the factional differences in
the senatorial ranks of the Republicans
are as decided as ever, mere is no dis
position on either side to give ground,
fl The stalwarts insist »nat Senator Gal
linger is the choice of the Republican
caucus for the office »f president pro
f tempore.
gr The insurgents claim that they are
not bound by the caucus because they
refused to attend, knowing in advance
that Gallinger was to be named. Under
no circumstances will they vote for
Gall in re r, they say.
There are. other stalwart Republicans,
• however. wMO would be acceptable to the
IF insurgents. Their objection to Gall in -
ger Is largely personal, “growing out of
f his attitude with reference to commit
tee assignments But the stalwarts say
they are in the majority in the senate,
and they do not propose to allow a mi
nority of their number to dictate terms
about anything
< It's Gallinger or nothing, they say
Meantime, the Democrats are in high
glee. Senator Bacon is the unanimous
choice of his colleagues, and will con
tinue to lead the ticket as the strong
cat candidate until the Republicans get
together.

JUDGE ATKINSON HAS
TROUBLES WITH FISH

to hunt and fish.
The judge built a fish pond near Mari

application with the United tSates fish
eries department for 100 baby bream with
which to stock his pond. He received an
swer that his application had been filed
and that he would receive the bream
in a year and a half. That did not mean
fish for breakfast right away, but the
judge waited with gentle patience for
that long time to pass.
The year and a half passed and instead
of the fish came a notice, two weeks
ago. that Uncle Sam was "just out” and
would have some more fish next year.
The judge immediately cut the dam to
hls pond and drained out all the water,
and as the last of the fish pond passed
from sight he received a notice to go to
Smyrna to meet the fish.
Judge Atkinson was then in a quan
dary, but decided <0 appeal to “Cap" Joy-,
ner, who has a country home nearby, for
relief. The captain arranged to place the
highly prized government baby fish in
hls own pond until the Judge can get
ium up another fish pond.

Ruptured People—
Try This for Relief and Cure
Wo lioss of Time from Work You
Keep on Earning Money—Wo Belt,
Elastic, Springs or Leg-Btrsps
to Wear—Won’t Cost Tou
a Cent if Ton Don’t
Get Better.
You can try this —the greatest boon to the
raptured the world has ever known—without
having to risk a single cent ot your money.
It’s away to get well while working.
If you don’t find yourself getting better right
from the first, then you won’t have to pay a
penny.
Ton Do-’t Bisk a
Fenny.
This Is far more than
a truss —far more than
merely a device for
bolding your rapture in
place.
We are so sure it will
work wonders for you
just as it has for thou
sands of others that we
want to make a Cluthe
Truss or Cluthe Auto
matic Massager especi
ally for yonr case ana
send it to you to test—
And won’t charge you a cent If it doesn’t re
sult in improvement—if It doesn’t keep your
rupture from coming out—when you are work
ing, exercising, etc., all day long and every
day.
Don’t judge this by other truseee. This is tbe
only truss guaranteed to hold. And tn addition
to that, the Cluthe Truss provides tbe only way
ever discovered for overcoming the weakness
which is the real cause of rupture.
While taking all strain off the rupture, thts
truss is constantly strengthening the weak rup
tured parts—
Does that by automatically managing them—
this aodthlng, healing massage does for these
parts exactly what exercise does for weak arms
—soon restores their lost strength—soon makes
them so strong that a truss is no longer needed.
