til Saturday, June 15, 10 P. M.
The announcement that was made
in The Dispatch of the great bargain
special vote offer has already caused
many of the participants to communi
cate with The Dispatch and express
hearty approval of the great and
tempting Inducement.
The Dispatch is announcing again
today the special vote offer and would
like for everyone, especially the par
ticipants and their friends, to peruse
these columns and digest the special
vote offer thoroughly so it can be fully
understood by all. The special vote
offer, which is most liberal, is as fol
lows: ; For each $25 remitted to The
Dispatch this week, dating from Mon
day, June 10, up to and inclusive or
Saturday June 15, for each $25 in new
or renewal subscriptions, either by
mail or carrier, to any point outside
of Wilmington, in addition to the reg
ular votes The Dispatch will gladly
issue each f participant 250,000 extra
votes for each club of $25 fn subscrip
tions as above announced.
Time For Action Is Now at. Hand
The time for all participants to dis
play activity is now tt-feand and there,
is not . a candidate that should not
try and secure one r- more clubs of
$25 in subscriptions. By doing so
they -will derive a greater vote upon
subscriptions - to- The Dispatch than
ever again, and besides the door that
crosses' the threshold and leads to sue-
roeo will Via Anon -xxriHo arA mamr will
be desiring -admittance. So take ad
vantage of the present - special vote
offer and- each candidate should strive
their utmost this week to secure ev
ery possible subscription and have a
good foundation to stand upon August
17, when the Studebaker Six, the
Chevrolet and the twelve other valu
able awards will be distributed.

participants will appear in The Dis
patch on Tuesday. There will be no

There is a snore serious stage of

by the stopped-up air passages, and
the hawking and spitting and other
distasteful features.
The, real dangf comes from the
tendency of the hsease to continue

become affected, and then dreaded

own experience has taught you that
ther disease cannot be cured by

Behind The Scenes In
The Nation's Capital
By THOMAS F. LOGAN.
Washington, D. C.,-June 10. Con
gress certainly does fall heir to more
hard luck thany any organization Its
size in the civilized world. Everybody
knows how hard the legislative branch
of the government has been working
to establish the fact that its mem
bers entertain a violent hatred for
the Demon Rum. When the prohibi
tion campaign threatened to become
languid in the house and senate, the
nervous statesmen got out the trusty
old sand-bag and swatted the popula
tion of the District of Columbia.
"Liquor is actually being sold and con
sumed within the city limits of
Washington," they wailed. "This is
frightful. We will reform those hard
ened, voteless Washingtonians with
one sweeping congressional act."
Therefore the nation's capital climbed
meekly and obediently on the water
cart last November, and all seemed
well.
There was, however, a modest little
Joker in the District of Columbia pro
hibition measure that was rich in pos
sibilities. It permitted any enterprs
ing citizen of Washington, D. C, to
import from Baltimore or any other
last trench of the R. R. any amount of j
firewater which the Importer was will
ing to swear was purely for his per
sonal use. It would be a specits of
sacrilege to insinuate that any mem
ber of the prohibition element in con
gress saw a personal advantage in
this Joker. No patriotic American
ought to believe that a legislator who
voted to make the capital of the
United' States an arid spot would be
willing to bring into the "Forbidden
City" even a split of one and a half
per cent. beer. Still, just for. the sake
of the verities, it must be admitted
that a congressman could, humanly
speaking, apply the lash to liquor on
the floor of the house until he was
physically exhausted and, ten min
utes later, speed his recovery from
the violent effort by diving into his
; private office, collapsing into a ham
mock, and reaching a weary hand to
the soothing knob of a right little,
tight mue eaxe.
It was exactly this theory that
caused a wasningum newspaper re
oorter to go nosing about the cor
rfdors of. the house of representatives

Wnd congressmen who spend a

fortunately, the reporter stumbled

rir rfrtnr. waiting for the char-
wTr,pn to bury them outside the gates
of the city, Now a. matte.01 fact,

bottles once upon a time were contam
inated by Joy juice, it is entirely pos
sible that they have since been util
ized as receptacles for gasoline, ben
zine or some other cleansing fluid for
the kid gloves worn by all well
groomed lawmakers. Besides, if they
were "dead soldiers' there is a
mighty strong chance that some
shameless private secretaries have
been putting something over on their
dignified and abstemious employers.
It Is obviously impossible to believe
that members of the house and sen
ate, two bodies of men who are rabid
In their dislike for strong drink,
would dally with the demon in their
official sanctums and place evidence
of forbidden activities In public cor
ridors. Nevertheless, the whole thing has
caused comment that cannot fail to
be annoying to the violently temper
ate statesmen whose names are list
ed on the rolls of the sixty-fifth con
gress. It has inspired outrageous gos
sip that ranges from levity to mallc-
ousness. Certain unorinclnled wretch
es who infest the vicinity of the house
office building are circulating horri
ble stories on the empty bottle theme.
One criminal, who richly deserves a
position in front of a firing squad, is
telling eaffsr listeners that he has
seen tvo upholders of the constitu
tion engaged in a pastime described,
vulgarly and slangily, as "shying
empties at the, gold fish." It seems
that certain restinc spots for exhaust
ed legislators hare windows that over
look a big marble fountain In the
courtyard of the house office buildin.
Washington's reading public -is ked
to believe that bibulous lawmakers
have on occasion wagered with one
anotner on the success of their efforts
to hurl empty whiskey or beer bottles
from these windows Into the quiet,
shadowy nooks in the bie fountain
bowl patronized by their finny constit
uents. UI course, no sane nerErm ha.
lieves this canard. It Is perfectly ap
parent that roisterers who would gam
ble in multiples of "two-bits" on their
aDuity to molest peaceful fish "with
evu-smeiiing bottles simply could not
fit Into the dignified ranks of the
statesmen who see the need of mak
ing the nation's capital bone-dry,
It is exceedingly fortunate that the
rumors of rum in the house office
building came at a time when the
Washington proletariat was eagerly
interested in U-boat activities off the
American coast. There is an element

borhood of Pennsylvania avenue. A
near-panic was precipitated a few days
ago when word was received that
gangs of workmen had been called in
to open up certain long-unused sub
terranean rooms situated beneath the
north, west' and south terraces of the
capitol .building. It was known that
these rooms have lain idle for many
jears. " Consequently the tip went
forth - that ' perturbed congressmen
were arranging a transfer of rum
caches from the. house office building
to the more easily defended under
ground chambers used by members of
the house and senate in the early
eighties.
There is, it must be admitted, a
quality of vagueness in the answers
one receives to queries about the rec
lamation of these long-forgotten un
derground rooms. Washington's old
est inhabitants explain that they
were originally designed as storage
places for logwood purchased for the
old-fashioned fireplaces in the capitol
that have fallen into innocuous desue
tude before the remorseless progress
of steam-heating facilities. A few
authorities insist that these store
rooms for out of date fuel are being
illuminated, replastered and made leak
and sound proof with the idea of pro
viding new lodging places for bound
volumes of the dear old Congressional
Record, that venerable and dignified
journal that has lately waxed fat on
the speeches which now echo through
the capitol's marble corridors both
summer and winter. This simple ex
planation ought to suffice, one might
think, but it has not ended the gos
sip. Optimistic, if misguided, mem
bers of the house and senate press
galleries are wasting much valuable
time these busy days by peering over
the shoulders of the workmen. The
habits of congressmen, like the spots
of the leopard, they argue, do not
change. Therefore, who knows but
that some cobweb covered bottles of
90 or 100 year old bourbon may be
rescued from the dust of ages by the
pick of the laborer. This appears to
be a particularly disquieting thought
to correspondents who are not totallv

quence that reverberates daily in the
senate and house.
It really seems possible that dis
gruntled Washingtonians are going
out of their way to be disagreeable to
congress. Irresponsible employes of
express companies brazenly and stout
ly insist that senators and represen
tatives who fought hardest for pro
hibition in the District of Columbia
are now in the front ranfts of the Im
porters who come around every few
days to inquire if "that package" has
arrived from Baltimore. Washington
newspapers print cartoons that make
the house office building look like a
lightly camouflaged barroom. Secret
service hirelings, instead of shadow
ing the authors of these malicious
stories, merely Join with members of
the executive branch of the govern
ment in grinning over the details of
the mud-flinging campaign directed at
the legislative branch. And alf this
comes right on top of President Wil
son's order that congress must swel
ter in Washington all this summer.
Honestly, it's getting so bad that self
respecting citizens throughout the
united States will hesitate a long
tme before consenting to become a
statesman.
