+ + + + + +*++ + + + +-!''fr4-<- + ■>+ + + + + + + <*+ + +
Elections were held in many cities and states throughout the country,
showing varying results.
In Massachusetts, Governor Foss (Dem.) was re-elected by a reduced
plurality of 8,000.
In Rhode Island, returns indicate Governor Pothier (Rep.) was re-elect
ed over Louis A. Waerman (Dem.) by an increased majority.
New York state elected a Republican assembly, thus depriving Governoi
Dix (Dem.) of the support he has heretofore had from a legislature
Democratic in both branches. The present New Y’ork assembly has a
Democratic majority of 224. The newly-elected assembly will have a Re
publican majority of upwards of forty.
In New York City (Manhattan and Bronx) the Tammany strength was
materially reduced.
In New Jersey, the Republicans gained control of the legislature. A
feature of the New Jersey election was the defeat of the Democratic leg
islature, candidates for whom Governor Woodrow Wilson personally ap
pealed to the voters.
Mississippi elected a Democratic governor and state officers by deci
sive majorities.
In Kentucky, James B. McCreary (Dem.) was elected governor by a
majority. A Democratic legislature also was elected, which insured the
choice of Congressman Ollie James as United States senator from Ken
tucky.
Indications point in New Mexico to a Republican legislature, which will
elect two Republican United States senators.
Socialist gains marked elections and gave the party power in districts
in Ohio, New York and Kansas, where, heretofore, it had been unable to
muster counting vote.
In Schenectady, N. Y., the Socialists elected a mayor, all city officials
except one, and a majority of the county board. In addition, the assem
bly district in which Schenectady is located returned a Socialist assem
blyman.
The result in Maryland is in doubt, both sides claiming victory.
Louisville, Ky.—Kentucky, for years
considered in the balance between
the Democrats and Republicans, went
back into the ranks of the former in
a landslide victory. Janies B. Mc-
Creary (Dem.), candidate for gover
nor, was elected by a substantial ma
jority.
His opponent was Judge Edward
O’Rear.
The returns surprised even the most
optimistic Democrats, most of whom
said the election would be close. As
it is, the Republican majority of 7,-
000, by which the present administra
tion went into office, was shattered
One of the results of the conceded
overwhelming Democratic victory in
Kentucky is that a Democratic state
legislature will be sure to elect Ollie
James, now congressman and Demo
cratic nominee for United States sen
ator, to succeed Senator James H.
Paynter.
Ohio Cities Go to Democrats.
Columbus, Ohio. —The Democrats
were swept into power in the three
largest cities of Ohio, Columbus, Cin
cinnati and Cleveland returning deci
sive Democratic pluralities.
A feature of the election through
out the state was the large Socialist
vote.
In Cincinnati Mayor Louis Schwab,
running for re-election with the Re
publican indorsement, was defeated
by Henry T. Hunt (Dem.) by 6,000.
In Cleveland Newton D. Baker
(Dem.) and political heir to the late
Tom L. Johnson, was elected mayor
by 20,000, while practically the entire
Democratic ticket is elected with
him.
In Toledo Brand Whitlock (Ind.) has
apparently been elected for a fourth
ter mby a plurality of 2,000.
The showing made by the Socialists
in Columbus, Canton, Akron, Dayton,
Newark, Lima, Barberton and Cuya
hoga Falls, in the last two named of
which they elected mayors, insures
that party a showing in the aggre
gate vote which exceeds its past high
water strength by many thousands
and within respectable distance of the
old parties.
Wilson Loses in New Jersey.
Trenton, N. J. —The Republicans
will control both branches of the leg
islature next winter, Gloucester coun
ty electing a Republican senator, and
this will make the senate stand elev
en Republicans to ten Democrats.
The assembly will be made up of
approximately 38 Republicans to 22
Democrats. Last year’s assembly con
sisted of 42 Democrats and 18 Repub
licans.
Socialists Elect Mayor.
Schnecetady, N. Y. —For the first
time in the history of this county,
the Socialists have polled a counting
vote, electng a mayor, all but one city
official and a majority of the county
officers, which will make the com
mon council and probably the county
board of supervisors Socialistic. Rev.
Dr. George B. Lunn, pastor of the
iLTnited People’s church and editor of
The Citizen, a Socialistic weekly, was
elected mayor by ap lurality of 1,999,
or practically two-thirds of the total
vote.
Illinois Cities Vote Dry.
Chicago.—Eight of the first ten Illi
nois cities where local option was
voted upon voted "dry.” The ques
tion was balloted upon in 20 cities
in the state. The state local option
headquarters here announced that its
returns indicated that eleven out of
eighteen of the Illinois cities voting
on local option had gone "dry,” an
increase for the “drys” over the num
ber of towns in their territory previ
ous to the election. Seven cities went
"wet.”
Foss Holds Massachusetts.
Boston. —Complete returns for gov
ernor in the state election give:
Foss (Dem.) 210,622.
Frothingham (Rep.) 202,888.
Foss’ plurality 7,734.
Complete reeurns in the staee elec
tion for lieutenant governor give:
Luce (Rep.) 207,700.
Walsh (Dem.) 201,950.
Luce's plurality 6,750.
Boston. —The Democrats won the
state election and kept Massachusetts
in the party column by continuing
Governor Eugene N. Foss in office for
a second term by a plurality of 7,734.
The margin of victory was the nar
rowest in years, and for hours after
the close of the polls, the result hung
in the balance.
New York. —Tammany Hall's hold
on New York City was shaken in a
battle of the ballots, in which the lo
cal offices were mainly at stake. The
Democrats successfully defended thejj
ancient strongholds of Manhattan and
the Bronx, but by greatly reduced plu
ralities. Queens county also stood by
the Democrats, but the Republican-
Fusion candidates made nearly a clean
sweep of Brooklyn and divided honors
in the little borough of Richmond.
A year ago Manhattan and the
Bronx boroughs gave Governor Dix a
plurality of 68,639 and elected a Dem
ocratic supreme court justice by
about 22,000. Robert L. Fowler, the
Democratic candidate for surrogate,
carried New York county with a max
imum plurality of 17,000.
The Democrats elected their candi
date for sheriff by about 8,000, and
the three Democratic candidates for
supreme court justice in the first ju
dicial district pulled through by a bare
5,000. Francis M. Scott, the fourth
justice elected, was indorsed by both
parties.
Race Close in Maryland.
Baltimore. —The American (Rep.),
in an extra, covering the election sit
uation, declares that the early returns
from Baltimore and estimates from
the counties would indicate that
Goldsborough (Rep.) had been elected
governor by about 5,000 plurality.
The Sun (Dem.) says that the re
turns from Baltimore and the counties
were not sufficient to indicate the re
sults, either on the state or city
tickets.
Republican State Chairman J. B.
Hanna claims the state for Goldsbor
ough (Rep.) for governor, based on
small Republican gains in the city
and state.
The vote on the constitutional
amendment designed to disfranchise
the negro indicates its defeat.
Union Labcr Defeated.
San Francisco. —Returns from the
municipal election indicate a victory
for the municipal conference candi
dates for supervisors over the Union
Labor candidates.
The conference represented the
Democratic, Republican and Good Gov
ernment parties. The coalition was
victorious on September 26, when a
direct primary elected James Rolph
for the mayoralty over P. H. McCar
thy, Union Labor, by an unestimated
majority vote.
Democrats Win Seat in Kansas.
Kansas City, Mo. —Joseph A. Tag
gart (Dem.) was elected to congress
from the Second Kansas district by
a majority estimated at 1,200 votes
over his Republican opponent, Ulysses
S. Guyer, to fill the unexpired term of
the late Republican congressman, A.
C. Mitchell. Mitchell carried the dis
trict in 1910 by 3,430 over John Cald
well (Dem.). Mitchell was a Progres
sive Republican. The Socialist and
Prohibition parties made heavy gains
in the district over the 1910 election.

ERUPTION COVERED BODY
“Three years ago this winter I had
a breaking out that covered my whole
body. It itched so it seemed as if I
should go crazy. It first came out in
little pimples on my back and spread
till it covered my whole body and
limbs down to my knees, also my arms
down to my elbows. Where I
scratched it made sores, and the ter
rible Itching and burning kept me
from sleeping. I tried several reme
dies all to no purpose. Then I con
cluded to try the Cuticura Remedies. I
used the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura
Ointment, also the Resolvent, for
about four months, and they com
pletely cured me of eczema. I have
had no return of the disease since. I
never had a good night’s rest after the
skin eruption first broke out till I com
menced using the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. I had only used them a
few days before I could see they were
beginning to heal, and the terrible
itching was gone.
“Those that lived in the house at
the time know how. I suffered, and
how the Cuticura Soap and Ointment
cured me. I never take a bath with
out using the Cuticura Soap, and I
do not believe there are better rem
edies for any skin disease than the
Cuticura Soap and Ointment.” (Signed)

MADE CONVERT OF OLD SILAS
Member of School Board May Have
Had Deep Thoughts, but Any
way He Was Satisfied.
The athletic young woman who
taught the district school was cn trial
for soundly thrashing seven unruly
boys.
“You—you think you can control the
situation, do—do you?” inquired the
president of the school board, who
stuttered.
"I can,” replied Che young woman
with considerable decision.
"Well, I don’t know about this,”
grinned Silas Weatherwax. “If my
boy needs a lickin’ I can give it to
him myself. I don’t believe in miscel
laneous lickin’s.”
The teacher smiled.
“Neither do I,” she said. “If thrash
ings are to be administered I think it
much better for one person to admin
ister them. And after I have cleaned
up the school I may decide to go out
and clean tip the township.”
A moment later when a vote of con
fidence in the teacher was called for,
the “aye” of Silas Weatherwax was
the loudest of all. '

WHAT’S THE MATTER
WITH YOUR BABY?
The young mother—and many an old
one, too—is often puzzled to know the
cause of her child’s ill nature. The
loudness of its crying does not neces
sarily indicate the seriousness of its
trouble. It may have nothing more the
matter with it than a headache or a feel
ing of general dullness. It cannot, of
course, describe its feelings, but as a
preliminary measure you are safe in
trying a mild laxative.
Nine times out of ten, you will find it
is all the child needs, for its restlessness
and peevishness are perhaps due to ob
struction of the bowels, and once that
has been remedied the headache, the
sluggishness and the many other <-vi
ijences of constipation and indigestion
will quickly disappear.
Don’t give the little one salts, cathar
tic pills or nasty waters, for these will
act as purgatives, and they are too
