The election picture today of this tremendous nation, with its millions choosing their next president, their next house of representatives, onethird of the United States senate, 34 state governors, many state legislatures and state and county officials, is a record-breaker. It represents the rapid rise of the nation from the first election in 1780; when there was a popular vote for president only in five states. Only persons with property or other special qualifications then could vote. Pennsylvania cast a total of less than 6,000 votes in that election. There are more than that many election precincts in Pennsylvania now. —o—election day BULLETINS FROM P4GE ONE) ticket 11; Republican, 0.

NEW FORM OF SLEEP MALADY BEING STUDIED Paris, Nov. 6— (U.R) -The new form of sleeping sickness which follows vaccination will be investigated by the Second International Congress of sleeping sickness which convened here today. The congress which is under the auspices of the League of Nations will be attended by virtually the same nations which participated In the first one at London in 1925. These consist principally of those nations who have financed for the past five years the League’s investigation in Africa of sleeping sickness. The congress will have at its disposal all the findings which have been made by the League experts in Africa where the disease was studied in its home of otigin and where extended laboratory experiments have been conducted for developing the best means of fighting it. The congress will also be participated in by representatives of the League's International Health Organization and the Health Section of the League secretariat. These latter will place at the disposition of the congress the findings of the League experts in Europe who have definitely ascertained that the sleeping sickness which follows vaccination is entirely different from the tropical form of the disease. It is expected that the congress will draw up a final report on the best methods of fighting and curing the disease Which will in turn be communicated by the League to all of the nations of the world. o Superintendents To Meet Plymouth, Ind., Nov. 6. —(U.R) —The Northern Indiana Superintendents club will meet here Thursday and Friday.

THREE NATIONS LOSE CABINETS France, Roumania An d South Africa Are Without Cabinets Today By United Press While the American people were electing a new administration, three other nations today were without cabinets. Premier Poincare of France presented a collective resignation for his cabinet to President Doumergue due to the breaking up of his regime by the resignations of four radical-socialist ministers. In Roumania, the political situation was still unsettled and efforts were made to replace the cabinet of Premier Brataunu which resigned due to failure to .secure agreement in National loan negotiations. The cabinet of the union of South Africa, under General Hertzog, prime minister and minister of native affairs sent its- resignation to the governor general today. A new cabinet probably will be farmed this afternoon. 0 President Coolidge And Wife Vote At Northampton Northampton, Mass., Nov. 6. —(U.R) — President and Mrs. Coolidge returned to their home state today to vote in the general election.

ELECTION NOT MADE CERTAIN UNTIL JANUARY Washington, Nov. 6—(U.R>-Herbert Hoover cr Alfred E. Smith will be elected President, but as a matter of fact the election will not be official until the second Monday In January. At that time a vote will be cast by the “Electoral College” a group of representative electors chosen by each state and equal to the combined representation of the state in the House of Represen tatives and the Senate. The Electoral College was established by Article 2 of the Constitution, to be presently approved by the Twelfth Amendment after the Jefferson-Burr deadlock. The reason behind it was the candid fear on the part of the farmers of the Constitution that the people were not able to decide for themselves on the matter of the Chief Executive. The Electoral College idea was taken from the Constitution of Maryland and was against the judgment of Benjamin Franklin, Robert Morris, and Janies Wilson, and was drafted into the Federal document. These three fa-

vored direct election. No provision was ma<ie for the manner in which these representative electors should be chosen. Neither was there a rule formed which compelled the electors of a state to vote in u unit for the candidate who stood highest in their respective states. Thus there have been times when a state’s vote was divided but to the popularity of individual electors. Three elections have gone against the popular vote. In 1824 Andrew Jackson had a popular plurality of 50,000 votes. The Electoral College in January gave Jackson 99 votes to 84 for Adams. But the 99 votes did not constitute a majority and the election was thrown into the House of Representatives whereby a vote of 13 to 7 Adams was declared elected. In 1874 Tilden had 250,000 more votes than Hays yet the latter was declared the winner by the Electoral College. In 1888 Cleveland polled 95.000 more votes than Harrison but the Electoral College gave Harrison 233 to 168 for Cleveland.

DREAD NEURITIS IS CONQUERED BY MODERN MEDICINE — Entire Body Was A Mass Os Aches And Pains—Konjola Quickly Banishes Stabbing Pains Artz- ’fez ♦ 1 w A, I i MRS. L. B. GREEN To those who hold the groundless belief that there is no escape from 1 the agonizing pains of neuritis, there I is a fine surprise in store in the ex-1 perience of Mrs. L. B. Green, Walton,] Indiana, to whom Konjola brought quick and happy relief from this dread affliction. Rejoicing in her newly restored health, Mrs. Green says:

"The fierce knife-like pains of neuritis shot thru my arms and shoulders, and gradually went to all parts of my body. I was a mass of aches and pains. Indigestion added to my suffering, and all that I tried brought no relief. I was desperate with my constant pains, and when friends insisted that I give Konjola a trial, I did so. The results were little short of miraculous. Two bottles of this astonishing medicine drove every pain from my body and restored my stomach to its normal health. It seems almost incredible that any one medicine could accomplish such quick and splendid results. I make this statement in the hope that all who have this terrible neuritis will learn about the new Konjola.” Konjola is sold in Decatur, Ind., at Smith, Yager & Falk's drug store, and by all best druggists in this vicinity.
