Candidates are kinda like some women, you never know what they're actually gonna do by what they say they will. Wo don't care what they aay they're gonna get done but wo sure do hope that they can start things moving to make our old town one of the best in the state. We've got a great old place but we sure 'nough do need a little stimulant and not tho kind that comes in bottles. Yours, BILL RAJAHS. P. S.

Mr. Bulman was on his way to his place of business Tuesday night about 9:15 and had just pulled upon the tracks at the Duane avenue crossing when he heard a train whistle. Looking to his right he discovered No. 8, westbound passender train bear ing down upon him and probably\]damage less than a hundred feet away. Pat decided he couldn't make it across'and attempted to back off the track. But tho engine stalled in reverse, and Mr. Bulman had the unpleasant experience of sit ting in his car whilo it was struck by the train and hurled to tho sidewalk where the tender passed over the right fender com pleting the havoc of the first im pact. The car was badly damaged but Mr. Bulman was uninjured. The glass in the auto which was a Pontiac sedan, remained intact, and little injury was done to the body of tho car. Tho car was not insured against itsolf, and represents al most a total loss, although Pat considers himself very fortunate to have escaped death or serious injury. FRED O. WHITTEMORE • M mm* Streets of Grass- \Fool they said, \to start now. Before long you will see grass growing on the streets of Philadelphia. War is here. Times are desprately hard and getting worse. People have no money. Lay low. Wait. Save what money you have You can't win.\ This was what wise men told young John Wanamaker when he was about to open a little clothing store in the hard times of April, 1861. Wanamaker went ahead, risking all he had. His first day's sales were J24.C7 Of this ho put 67 cents in the cash drawer and spent $24 for a newspaper advertisement. * * • Today in Philadelphia and New York, bearing the name of John Wanamaker, you will find two of the greatest retail stores in the world—one built on a $24 newspaper advertisement in hard times, and the other salvaged, rebuilt and expanded by Wanaraaker's enterpris from a sick business that had once been A. T. Stewart's. » . . Wanamaker started business in. one nation-wide depression and struggled through every other depression America has suf fered. But no matter how hard the times, he never lost faith in the people and he never wore out pencils figuring how to cut down his advertising. He was America's first big, persistent and persuasive advertiser \Advertise he -mid. \Talk things over with the people, take them into your confidence, tell the facta—and business will come if your merchandise and service warrant it.\ And go after what you want, for \Every living thing, man included, finds the earth and sea have abundance for every crea ture, but each living thing must go after the food and not wait for some other to put food i n its nest.\ * * » Not yet has grass grown in the streets of Philadelphia. Not yet have the people failed'to buy the goods Wanamaker adver tised to them, beginning with a $24 newspaper advertisement in the midst of a sad business depression. Tell tho people; i t pays. —from the Cleveland Plain Dealer. JAMES W COLEMAN BELIEVED ALMOST CERTAIN THAT W CHANGES IN STAFF AND PUBLICATION DAY OF TIMES ANNOUNCED In keeping with the spirit of progression of this paper and its service to the community, we are making two changes in the staff of The Endicott Times this week Mr O M Brees who has been connected with us in the capacity of advertising mana ger has been advanced to cir culation manager andfwe have engaged Harold J. Gillin, a young advertising man of wide experience to take over the ad vertising management. Mr Gillin was with the<Wy- he B. Jones agency of Bing- hamton for seven years and has since been connected with \ several weeklies and more late ly with a New York Metropoli tan dally The day of pubtication of the Times will be Wednesday from date on. this NEARLY 200 WILL ATTEND DINNER OF BUSINESS GROUP LL SEEKiRE-ELECTIC Threats of a disagreement on th v candidate to be nominated in the Democratic- caucus and the ab solute certainty that a contest will develop in the Republican caucus on next Tuesday evening will undoubtedly make the ap proaching campaign foT mayor of Endicott one which will prove hotly contested and draw consid erable interest among the voters of the community. The harmonious situation, which it was thought would prevail at the caucus of the Democrats, now looms as an uncertainty with a possible struggle between the three candidates. Dr. Julian Smith, Ernest Conlon and Fred Whittemore. Large numbers of *upportors arc apparent for the three men and it is felt that all tand an equal chance for the nomination The advent of Zet Robinson lr the field for the G O, P. nom- nation. and th* practical certain ty that present Mayrtc; James Coleman will re-enter a can didate, coupled with therfact that former mayors Anderson and Bennett have already announced their intention of trying for the office, moke the Republican situ- ltion very complex. Supporters are numerous and active in the behalf of all candid ates and it is hard at the present time to find any out-standing roan in the field. It is reported that a large number of the town's younger leaders are backing Rob inson's candidacy which reverses the opinion that his entrance into the race was a mere- gesture. Many -political - lmrimrt. ram. CCDs cede him to be a formidable rival to the former mayors. \ Colemon, v Anderson and Ben- DR. JULIAN SMITH FORMER CONSUL SPEAKS ON INDIA Al BOOK REVIEW An unusually interesting meet ing of the Book Review club was held at the library last Monday evening. Rev. Charles F Kitt- redge who was to have spoken on \Little America,\ by Byrd, was suddenly called out of town and in his absence Mrs. Eldrcdge was fortunate in securing Mr. Charles Haywood of Owego, former vice consul at Calcutta, India. Mr. Haywood lived for two years in Calcutta and traveled ex tensively thrughout the country. His talk was illustrated with beautiful slides made from photo graphs taken by himself. He expressed his opinion of Gandhi as a\ religious fanatic without balance or common sense and in no way fitted to govern- that if the British were to with draw from India chaos would re sult and the different religious factions would exterminate each other He gave a pleasant picture of the life of a United States consul in Calcutta and was a most enter- (continued on page 7) The plan of expansion and re-1 organization of the Endicott Busi ness Men's Association to includeA aU business and .professional inenlnett appear at the present tjtae in town, is being .met.\.with ,a\ to-be. on an equal basi*. .with-.geJH_~ great deal of enthusiasm, accord.-] era i sentiment evenly divided' In ing to the report of the commit- j their favor.

Among other candidates for the office will be the present incum bents, Philip Nystrom, Walter Eckert, and Dr Julian Smith. The latter will not of course, run for the trustee-ship if he is nominat ed by his party as the standard- bearer for the executive position. Other names advanced for the po sition in the Republican ranks in clude Arthur Barton, local res taurant proprietor, Vern Stanton local contractor, and numerous 'dark horses\.

From Nicholas Minnie, North Side resi dent, and Sumner Feltoa. At the present time the pros- poet of a \dark horse\ being placed before the G O. P. caucus for the nomination of mayor seems to be diminishing. Thus it seems probable that the next present indications it is expected ma y or of ' hc ^IZ^nhZ Oat more than 200 men will be | f\ from the ^J^A-Hl! present at the gathering been advanced by their friends for the position. Of these sever, only three, Clarke Bennett, Lynn Robinson GEO. H. TOULSON IS ELECTED PRESIDENT OF ASSOCIATED BUSINESS MEN OF UNION George H.
