The “Half \Vay Mark.”
Don't overlook the fact that you are
approaching the half-way mark of the
campaign. and that it is important
that you do not fall beneath your usual
weekly average. both in subscriptions
and votes. The unusual interest dis-
played in the progress of practically
every active candidate. speaks well for
the winning chances of those workers.
It would be fatal for any candidate to
falter at this critical point in the cam-
paign. when his friends are bending
every energy to bring the name of‘
their favorite to the top of the list.
“110 Is In Earnest?
After the present week it will be
possible to tell Just who the active
workers are. as the names of all who
have not turned in a subscription up
to the closing hour Saturday night.
8 o'clock. will be taken from the list.
Votes are being received. daily for
many who have made no move at per-

DEATH'sAlllt'm
BE ACCIDENTAL
Mrs. Delia Erlacher. wife of the
late Louis Erlaohor.- was found dead
at 1:30 o’clock yesterday afternoon in
her room, 55 Main street. Death was
accidental. according to Medibal.Ex-
aminer Dr. Samuel H. Huntington.
the woman having failed to turn off
the gas jets when, after the gas had
gotten low, she dropped a quarter in-
to the gas meter.
Mrs. Erlaeher was an aged woman,
apparently about 70 years old. She
had lived for‘ several years in a. large
front room rented from Mrs. Ellen
C. Duffy. Mrs. Duffy heard Mrs. Er-
lacher fall to the floorrand surmising‘
that something was wrong she inves-
tigated. She found Mrs. Erisoher
stretched out on the floor unconscious.
Medical attendance was summoned.
but it was impossible to revive the
deceased.
The investigation by Dr. Huntington
showed that the gas had evidently ran
low. Mrs. Erlacher left the gas jets
open while she dropped a. quarter in-
to the motor. In a few moments, the
room filled with.gas and she was over-
come.
There was no reason for Mrs. Er-
lacher taking her own life. Medical
Examiner Huntington said. She was
enjoying good health and had a com-
fortable income. She is survived by
a. daughter. Mrs. Olha‘ T. Carr, of Los
Angelcs. Cal. Funeral arrangements
will be anounced later.
