Dr. Bethmann-Hollweg may claim this unique distinction that he is the first German chancellor to wear a beard. Bismarck hastened to shave his off when he entered upon diplomacy, and showed his rivals and enemies a massive jaw and clear-cut chin; and he shaved to the end, with an interval enforced by neuralgia In the early eighties. As x a - soldier,'' too, Caprivi shaved, all but his mustache, and so did Hohenlohe, and Buelow. But Bethmann-Hollweg is gaunt, rugged, hirsute, pan-Germanic. ;

Many people delude themselves by saying, "It will wear away," when they notice symptoms of kidney and bladder trouble.- This is a mistake. Take Foley's Kidney Remedy and stop the drain on the vitality. It cures backache, rheumatism, kidney and bladder trouble, and makes every trace of pain, weakness, and urinary trouble disappear. A, G.

Political Students See His Opportunity in Death of Johnson. JOHNSON MEN BACK HIM? VIRGINIA CONGRESSMAN SUGGESTS THAT EXPLORER COOK WOULD BE A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR VICE PRESIDENT. Washington, Sept 23. Since the death of Governor Johnson, of Minnesota, men of a politically reflective

turn of mind have begun to speculate upon the effect of his sudden demise upon the prospects of Governor Harmon, of Ohio. The opinion is frequently expressed that if Harmon should be re-elected Governor next year, the chances of his nomination for president in 1912 would be splendid, especially since there now could be no rivalry between him and Johnson. ; , Therefore the situation in Ohio will become more interesting to the outsider as it unfolds, and every development will be analyzed for the purpose of weighing its probable influence upon the future of the democratic governor of a republican state. Discussing the death of Governor Johnson in its possible bearing upon the democratic presidential nomination In 1012. Representative Harry L. Maynard, a democrat from Virginia, said today: Opponent of Harmon. "There is no question that Governor Johnson had a very large national following among democrats and would have been the most formidable opponent of Governor Harmon for the democratic nomination, had he lived. There were many members of congress who had believed Johnson was the one democrat who could win in a presidential election, because, they argued, he could carry those Northwestern states that are always republican, a nil poll a strong vote in all other states where there are Scandinavians. "But it now appears that Governor Harmon must be the logical candidate He has as large, if not larger, following among the democrats than had Johnson, and there is no other man In sight at this time to whom the party can turn provided, of course, he is reelected governor of Ohio, which, I believe, will be the case. I do not know Mr. Bryan's thoughts or his choice as to a candidate. Wields Large Influence. "The-e is no doubt that he will wield a large influence In the party when it comes to naming a candidate. I believe he preferred Harmon to Johnson, but, of course. I do not know. It looks now as if there is no other man that can attract his support. If Governor Johnson had lived, I believe the ticket in 1012 would have been either Harmon and Johnson or Johnson and Harmon." Then Maynard added as a pleasantry: "Now well, it may be Harmon and Cook. I am not joking now when I say I'd like to vote for Cook. His attitude in the north pole controversy

leaves no other conclusion than that he is a democrat" The following excerpts from a political artiele in te Washington Times this evening indicate the trend of thought of some folks who take an interest in politics: "Governor Harmon will be in Washington on two or three occasions this fall. He has business before the interstate commerce commission which will bring him and he will be here at the time of the Good Roads Congress. Visits Give Opportunity. "His visits will give the opportunity for the statesmen and politicians then in the city, to study him and make up their minds whether he is of presidential proportions, as his admirers insist he is.

"The death i ot ... Governor Johnson, of Minnesota, along with other developments, is turning attention more and more to Harmon, and Just now he is in the land for the democratic nomination in 1912. "One' thing that is probably serving as much as. anything to help along the governor's boom is the hesitancy of the Ohio republicans in picking a gubernatorial candidate to run against him. And while the Ohio G. O. P. leaders have been casting about over the situation for months, they apparently have got no nearer to the selection of a man to make the race. This seeming confusion of Harmon's political opponents in - his own state has tended to strengthen him in Ohio and out of it"

his latest success

"Keith Stock Co." The Keith Stock company appeared at the Gennett theater last night in "Paid a Debt" and again made a big hit Helen Lesee the Toy Soubrette has captured the hearts of the theater going people here, and Mr. Keith in his monologue is received with bursts of laughter at each performance. Tonight they will play their 'feature bill of "The Peddler" and a big house is expected. "The Climax." Arthur Coglisa, who plays the Luigi Colfantl in "The Climax" created this part when the piece was first produced by Joseph M. Weber, is a well known baritone who starred for several years. He has a part in this charming play that is well adapted to his musical talent Being a former music teacher, his interpretation of Colfantl the Italian vocal instructor, is said by critics of the metropolis to be one of the enjoyable moments of the performance. The Climax is at the Gennett on Wednesday, September 29. "The Right of Way." A play by the well known stage manager, Eugene W. Presbrey, called "The Right of Way," will be acted at the Gennett Thursday, September 30. It is a theatrical synopsis of the popular novel of the same name, by Sir

Gilbert Parker, and it has been received with favor wherever presented. Mr. Presbrey has long been known as an expert stage manager, Sir Gilbert Parker's novel has been widely

read and admired. Mr.

an exceptionally fine actor, who poss

esses imagination, feeling, self-control, artistic purpose, repose, discretion, reserve power and the faculty of impersonation. There are several, other capable actors in the cast The scenery is said to be appropriate. The word of promise, therefore, is alluring, and it is hoped that the promise will be fulfilled. "Mary Jane's Pa." The only child theatrical manager in the world, will be with Henry E. Dixey when he is seen in the last season's great Garden Theater, New York, success, "Mary Jane's Pa," at the Gennett Tuesday, October 5. She is little Gretchen Hartman, and her graduation from a clever stage child to part owner of the play seems to have been a ruse on the part of Mr. Savage's managers to keep the Chicago authorities from forcing her from the stage of the Chicago opera house, during the long run of the play there last season. The laws against children on the stage in that city, are very Irksome to the theatrical managers. Little Miss Hartman had an important part

The Democratic Platform Adopted Last Evening

The democrats of Richmond In convention assembled, recognize that they are again favored with a great opportunity; they are again confronted by a great responsibility.

Four years ago the people turned to jthem for relief and reform. They i were sick and tired of Incompetency and indecency In high places. They 'demanded a business administration; i they demanded a decent administration. They were promised these things by the democratic convention 'four years ago, and the history of Mayior Schilllnger's administration proves that promise was made good. This administration found an almost : empty treasury- They found the city 'making temporary loans at 5 per cent 'to pay current expenses. They found

Mayor Zimmerman selling -the city's electric light bonds, bearing 4 per cent, and running 25 years, at par a loss of thousands of dollars to the tax payers. They soon stopped this mismanagement They not only paid all current expenses without borrowing, but paid the city's portion of the most extensive public improvements in our history chargeable to the general fund. The west side improvements alone, viaducts, sewers, septic tank, and streets, cost the city more than those covering the whole city in former years; and yot we paid it in cash as it came due. And. Instead of selling 4 per cent long time city bonds in large lots at par, they sold 3 per cent short time bonds to fund Zimmerman current debts at a premium. Taking the city as a whole, there have been more public improvements in the past three years than in any like period in our history, both by the city proper, and by the citizens. These have been expensive, but as a rule the city and the property owners have got value received for their money. Mistakes may have occurred, but no charge or hint of graft or corruption has been made in connection with any of Its work. This is all the more remarkable in view of the fact that the city council is unanimously republican while the executive department is democratic While the present administration has been progressive, it has also been economical and broad-minded. It has scrutinised all claims and purchases, analyzed and carefully considered' all contracts and franchises, and opposed all extravagance. Intelligent business Judgment and not partisanship, has characterized its policy and its practice. It found the engineer's office filled by an efficient republican and it kept him there. It found the fire department under an efficient republican chief, and it kept him there. It found the municipal light plant In charge of an efficient republican and it kept him there. It also kept a republican in charge of; the health department. In all these matters it recognised two things: First, the good of the public service: second. Its obligation to the I.50O republican voters that made this administration possible. The management of the . municipal light property has been successful beyond all expectations. When the

plant was constructed and the bonds were sold, it was not thought probable that any of them could be paid before 25 years, 18 years from now. But -under wise, conservative management, the city is ready to begin paying them now, if it had the option to do so. When the Schillinger administration came into power the plant owed a current debt to the city of over $53,000. In addition a contract amounting to nearly $30,000 had been made for a new electrical power unit. This unit has been erected and paid for, and before the first of next January the $53,000 of current debt will have been paid, the whole $83,000 having been paid out of the profits ot the light plant, without borrowing a dollar, in three years and four months! More than that, we have in that time added many thousands of dollars to the value of the plant in permanent improvements in the way of extensions and equipment. We are proud of this achievement, and we cnallenge the whole Middle West to make a better showing. Our success has been so splendid that it has changed critics into friends, has silenced the voice of slander and has made many converts to the cause of municipal ownership. It is this success that now stimulates popular interest in the pending water works negotiations, in the hope that some legal way will be found for the city to ultimately own that property, if it can be purchased at a fair price.

But the democratic responsibility

does not end with good financial management. Money does not make men.

bricks and mortar do not make a city, and business management does not make a community life. This good old town of Richmond, this vigorous, rejuvinated city of Richmond, means to us and our children much more than so much money and so much property and so many thousand population. It means so much inherent honesty, so much intelligence and refinement, so much, sound morality, so much earnest endeavor, so much true manhood and womanhood, so much pure childhood, so many happy homes, so much good character.. . The mayor of a city is the official representative, and in a great measure the real representative of the people. Much as we may deprecate and deny it, this is true. We live In a free countrythere are no strings on any do

zen we have a free choice in the coming election, and by that choice we fix

our own place in the community.

The republicans, by a minority vote,

which is the curse of the primary sys

tem, have nominated for that high of

fice "an undesirable citizen." Every man here knows that is true. Every

well informed, law-abiding voter

knows that Is true, and knows why it

is true. The record of their nominee

"makes a noise like a morgue;'" its foul

odor offends the very air, and is a

stench in the nostrils of the people.

He is today the same man he was four years ago. He has not reformed. He

has persisted in his wrong doing, un daunted and unashamed.

The people are not satisfied with that nominee. They will not, follow

his polluted banner. They do not want to put him forward as their rep

resentative. They have had their fill of him, his methods, and of his kind.

They decline to again go down Into the

slough ot despond and degradation

from which they came four years ago,

They ask this convention to nominate as our candidate for mayor a Man! Our

answer is already assured it will sat

Isfy the most skeptical. We cannot

mak a mistake. We have but two as

pirants and they both measure up to the true standard of manhood. They are men of honesty and honor, men of

business ability and experience, men

of good character, men who represent that pure and wholesome family life that is the very bedrock: of all good

government.

There are no partisan questions in

the coming campaign. The issue is plain and clear cut, as it was four

years ago. It is that of honesty, capacity and decency on the one hand, against dishonesty, incapacity and indecency on the other. On this Issue

we shall enter the contest and appeal to the people with confidence. We believe the voters ot Richmond know where their true Interests lie. W believe they win vindicate themselves; and If they do, they will elect as their next mayor the nominee of fhta convention..
