tur Thursday night when Governor Ralston will be here. Watch for the big parade or better still join tbt crowd Everybody invited. Don't make the foolish mistake of electing President Wilson again and without a democratic congress and senate. That would tie his hands. Vote for Denney tor congress and for Kern and Taggart for senator. Peace with honor and continued prosperity do you need any further reason.- for voting for the reeleetioa of Mr. Wilson? There are a hundred others and you know them all but those ought to be sufficient for any man who loves his home and his country. You do not guess about it —you have his record. ‘ He kept us out of war” Is the slogan that is making the average fellow stop anA think and it will make several million men cist their ball t for Woodrow Wilson on election da. . The republican press can make light of the issue but it is one that eveiy thinking man will study earnestly 'and the mothers of the land will help I him make up his mind. i Every factory- is running, every one I X has the opportunity to succeed as they never have before, this country is at peace with the world —Mr. Wilson promises a continuation of such things, while Mr. Hughes promises nothing but a change.of policies and without stating what those changes will be. A change is unsafe. Mark that. Better let well enough alone. A vote for Wjlson is a vote for yourself and your neighbor. The visit of Mr. Hughes to Ohio is sagl to have but strengthened the chances of Mr. Wilson to carry the state. Tex Rickard is offering to bet $250,000 or any part of it at odds of ten to eight that Wilson will carry the state and even money on Cox for governor and Pomerene for senator, with money as scarce as I hen’s teeth. And the same condition exists in a dozen other states, but the I big newspapers are not telling it. I The Fatherland, a pro-German I I weekly paper whit-h has fought President Wilson for several years, says in the issue of today: “If the republican permits the country to believe that he approves of Colonel Roosevelt's violent and unreasonable outbursts of hate and rage—a thousand times more unbecoming and indecent since Mr. Roosevelt was once president—then we suspect that the next president will not be the republican candidate.” Jim Jam Jems, a widely read per iodical. announces in its iatest issue the belief that Mr. Wilson will sweep the country from coast to coast, and will be ne-eiected by the greatest majority ever given to any president. They believe that this will happen because "He kept us out of war,” and because the times are so good that any attack upon that line looks like a joke and the editor does not hesitate to say that personally .lie is a republican of the old school. Dedaring that the “trend of politi-

cal sentiment seems to be growing in favor of President Wilson," the Financial Chronicle declares that the prospects lor his Reflection "are brighter today than at any time since his renomlnation last June.” One prominent reason for the veering in public opinion away from Judge Hughes, assigned by the Chronicle, is that Roosevelt is “too heavy a load” for Hughes to bear aiul win over Wil son. It declares that the American people are afraid that Roosevelt will laud in a place in the cabinet if Hughes should win. "The United Slates has now to choose whether it will have n gov ernment for the people or a government for the special interests. The mask is off; it always was transparent. it never reached below the lips and you would see the cynical smile underneath. A blaze of righteous pp triotism in the eye, but a cynical hardness about the lip. They want possession of the government. They want control of the treasury of the United States. They want direction of the business of the United States. They want determination of the foreign connections and policies of the United States. They want possession of the legislation of the United State-, in order that the comfortable part nerships four years ago broken up may be restored. It is one of the most sinister combinations that American politics ever saw.”—President Wilson in speech at Shadow Lawn. | DOINGS IN SOCIETY ■ • KOS SC 3S3® 3® 3 C3® SC 3OSSSSS WEEK’S SOCIAL CALENDAR. / • Wednesday.

The affair vzas a masquerade, the guests coming 'r> varied costumes. A large black cat. with glowing lantern-eyes, and two ghosts in the reception room greeted the guests and passed them on up by the witch’s nook in the stairway to nooks beyond, just as weird, with their Hallowe'en decorations. YelIcw and black crepe paper twined ti e chandeliers and were arrayed in streamer effect, while pumpkin faces suspended from beneath, lighted the scene; A grand march of the masqueraders was formed, and passed through the scenic rooms. Prizes for guessing the greatest mimber e” masked persons went to ir#ta Butler and Roy Kalver.

FAMILY CARES. This Information May be of Value to Many a Mother in Decatur. When there is addqd to the many cares inseparable from the rearing of children that affliction of weakness of the kidneys and auxiliary organs, the mother's lot is far from n nappy one. This condition has often been corrected by the use of Doan’s Kidney Pills. When the relief comes the mother's burden will be lighter and her home happier. Mrs. Wm. Murtaugh. 617 Winchester street, Decatur, says: “One of

my children from the time she was a baby was afflicted with weak kidneys. She was unable to .control the kidney secretions at night. This was very annoying and caused much worry on my part. _ The first box of Doan's Kidney Pills gave relief and the third made a cure which has stayed. She is now entirely free from the Price, 50c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Airs. Murtaugh recommends.
