The subsidy election in this city and township today is unusually quiet and the result cannot be foretold, for the reason ar but few discussions have been heard and few opinions expressed. We will tell you the returns this evening. Democrats are making a strenuous effort to prevent Tom Taggart from resigning from the national committee until after the election, but he insists he wants the committee to keep their word and accept his witndrawal. The matter will be decided at a meeting of the state committee to be held Friday afternoon. Mr. Hilles, the new head of the republican Rational committee, announces that the campaign will be made on the tariff issue and that they will promise revision, after proper in- ' vestigatiou. What's the use? You might just as well go ahead on the : promise of four years ago, which has never been redeemed, and which ) should still be as good as a new one ' from the same source now. It won’t do. . ..»■■■ —- .... It is announced that Mr. Wilson will probably deliver three speeches in Indiana during the campaign. He will not travel in a special train or make any taiks from the rear platform, but it is said he may decide to explain his position on the national questions by deliverng a few set speeches, and should he do so, has promised Indiana three of these. One will be delivered at a state rally at Indianapolis, one each in the north and south part of the state. The selection of Governor Marshall ns its candidate for the vice presidency by me Baltimore convention, demonstrates only less than that of Governor Wilson for first place on the ticket, that the democratic party has begun a new chapter. After all the years of democratic error at the crucial moment and in view of the hit-or miss methods of selecting vice presidential candidates, it would not have been a matter of surprise if, even after the control of the progressives had been fully accomplished, second place on the ticket had gone through mischance to some one who would have been only an element of weakness in the campaign. Instead of this the demo,: si’s have in Governor Marshall a man of strong and appealing personality, of sturdy qualities and one who is free from undesirable associations either in business or politics. As governor of Indiana he has made an excellent record, showing himself alive to and in sympathy with the progressive demands of the time, without being carried away with fads or isms.—Springfield Republican. MAIL CARRIERS WILL FLY This is an age of great discoveries Progress rides on the air. Soon we may see I’ncle Sam's mail carriers flying In all directions, transporting mail. People take a wonderful interest in a discovery that benefits them. That’s why Dr. King's New Discovery for Coughs, Colds and other throat and lung diseases is rhe most popular medicine in America. “It cured me of a dreadful cough,” writes Mrs. J. F. Davis, Stickney Corner, Me., “after doctor's treatment and al! other retnidies had failed.” Excellent for coughs, colds or any bronchial affection. Price 50c and ?' Trial bottle free at The Holthouse Drug Co. THE CHOICE OF A HUSBAND is too important a matter for a woman to be handicapped by weakness, bad I blood or foul breath. Avoid these ; kill-hopes by taking Dr. King’s Life Pills. New strength, fine complexion, i pure breath, cheerful spirits—things that win men —follow their use. Easy, I safe, sure. 25c pt Holthouse Drug Co. ***
