It is, of course, & foregone conclusion that neither has a chance of nomination. The “yellow” faction Sunday nom inated Judge Richard S. Winsor, while the “red” faction named Wi!- liam F. Neumann. The efforts of the past few weeks to reconcile the two divisions seemed to have utter-| ly failed. Full tickets were named by both factions, from mayor down. eee It becomes more and more cer- tain that if Hi Gill, recalled mayor, files for the office, he can easily obtain thd nomination, for ft ts| Worley have already filed, and Co Goddard, who says he will file soon there will also be Judge Willian Hickman Moore, Judge John B, Gor don and J.

EXPECT WILSON WILL DECLARE FOR SUFFRAGE By Gilson Gardner WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.— There is a shrewd suspicion in the minds of well informed per sons in Washington that Presi- dent Wilson will take advant age of an early opportunity to send to congress a special message favoring woman suf- frage. The president failed to men tion this tople in his general message, but said he expected to send several special mes Sages to congress That the president will com- mit his party to woman suffrage would be in line with progres sive democracy, which he has made the keynote of democratic policies since he assumed the party leadership. Not to do so would be political stupidity, and Wilson has given ample evi dence of the fact that he is not politically stupid. There Is another presidential election coming, and In upward of ten states women will have as much or more to say than the men in nominating and elect- ing the next president—demo crat, republican or progressive.

In other words, our loss can be made intending purchasers’ gain by dislodging all doubt with per- sonal investigation, quick action and little money. Player Pianos Music is a great educational force and is more needed in the home than elsewhere because it is there that its suggestive power may make itself more felt to aid in right living. It is important that children hear and become fa- miliar with good music from the beginning. No one can claim a thorough education that lacks a knowledge and understanding of good music. It gives new pleasures and new energies to the body and to the mind. At this very remarkable closing-out sale we are offering Chickering Play- ers, Kimball Acmelodic Players, the genuine Autopiano Player Pianos, Krell Auto Grands, Pianola Pianos, Hallett & Davis Players, Melville Clark Apol- los, Smith & Barnes Players, Decker Players, the popular Bungalow Players and others, mostly new, but some have been used a little, at prices never heard of before. Baby Parlor and Concert Grand Pianos The residue of our closing-out stock of Grand Pianos includes many of the world’s most distinguished and honored names, among others the Chick- ering & Sons, Kimball, Sohmer, Hazelton, Lester and Steger—the tiniest and most artistic designs ever shownhere, as well as beautiful semi-grands for larger parlors, apartments and halls, and also the largest, latest, most mas- sive and powerful toned full-sized concert Grands, many of which are going now at prices usually asked for regular upright Pianos of the better grades. A Grand is the’only Piano which fits into the most refined surroundings. It endorses the family, so to speak. It breathes of an atmasphere of refine- ment, wealth and culture. If you have an upright Piano which you wish to trade in on a Grand Piano, we will allow you full commercial value for it. There is no better time to do this than the holiday season, and no nobler Christmas gift than a Grand Piano. Think of securing a fine, new, warranted, upright, highest-grade Piano in mahogany, mottled walnut or oak, customary price $375, now only $182; also some still lower and many a little higher, all proportionately reduced and sold on easy payments when desired. This should mean a Piano for every home that is really a homer If you intend to own a Piano some time within two, three or even five years, you can well afford to make a sacrifice now, even if necessary to in- cur some slight financial loss or inconvenience in order to secure the benefit of these remarkable savings.
