ELECTION NOT MADE CERTAIN UNTIL IANUARY Washing!on, Nov. 6—(U.R) 1 — Herbert Hoover or Alfred E. Smith will he elected President, but as a matter of fact the election will not he 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 hy each state and equal to the combined representation of the state in the House of Representatives and the Smote. The Electoral College was established by Article 2 of the Constitution, to he presently approved by the Twelfth Amendment after the Jefferson-Rnrr deadlock. The reason behind it was the candid fear on the part of the farmers cf 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 cf Benjamin Franklin, Robert Morris, and James Wilson, and was drafted into the Federal document. These three favored direct election. No provision was matte 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 a unit for the candidate who stood highest in their respective states. Thus there have been limes when a state's vote was divided hut 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. C. L. Spuller Pledged To Fraternity At Purdue Lafayette, Ind., Nov. 6—C. L.

GREEN To those who hold the groundless belief that there is no escape from the agonizing pains of neuritis, there j is a fine surprise in store in the ex ] 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 shoul- j ders, and gradually went to all parts I 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 witfi tny | constant pains, and when friends insisted that I give Konjola a trial, I j 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.

Paris says: IF YOU would be smart, wear this color. If you would be in fashion, bob your hair this way. If you would be well-dressed, wear clothes simply designed as I make them.
