JUDGES SELECTED FOR THE BIG CONTEST

James H. S. Ellis, H. F. Parker and P. R. Blue to Count Ballots for * All Candidates y James H. Ellis, former mayor; H. F. Parker, photographer; and Attorney Philip R. Blue have agreed to act as a eommitteeto count the votes in The Republican’s great voting contest which is to come to a close Friday night at midnight. They will take charge of the ballot box at that time and will count the votes the following Sunday. It had at first been expected to have the votes counted Saturday morning but several things have served to cause the postponement. First, the judges could not spare the time Saturday to count the votes. Second, the interest created is so great that it Would almost call for a suspension of business at The. Republican during the time the votes were being counted. Third, by postponing the count until after the Evening Republican of Saturday is published, will make it possible to announce the result in The Evening Republican of Monday and The Semi-Weekly Republican of Tuesday, which are both printed Monday afternoon. The plan is to have a large ballot box in The Republican office Friday, and to prevent any person at this office from knowing anything about the standing of the contestants subscriptions can be voted directly into the box, not passing through the hands of any person. For instance, a new subscription or a list of new subscriptions can be enclosed with the money or a check in an envelope and placed into the box. Ballots for these, based upon the tables with which all candidates are supplied and which have been pub-' lished frequently, will be given for every subscription thus voted. No money not actually representing a new or a renewed subscription will not be received or counted if placed in the ballot box. The actpal boni fide subscription must accompany the money or equivalent check must accompany the subscription. The ballot box will be opened by the judges and all checks and money therein will be turned over to the 'contest manager and votes for the same issued just as has heretofore been done. By means of the numbers on the ballots it can be learned on what subscription the vote was issued. We are certain that all contestants will appirove of this manner of handling the big contest and that .the committee of judges will meet the approval of all. Wishing that it were possible for every one of these contestants, who have worked with such untiring energy for the widening of the influence of The Republican to win an automobile, we await the count of the votes with the same interest that is felt by the contestants and their many friends.

Acute Indigestion. ‘1 was annoyed for over a year by attacks of acute indigestion, followed by constipation,” writes Mrs. M. J. Gallagher, Geneva, N. Y. “I tried everything that was recommended to me for this complaint but nothing did me much good until about four months ago I saw Chamberlain’s Tablets advertised and procured a bottle of them from our druggist. I soon realized that I had gotten the right thing for they helped me at once. Since taking two bottles of them I can eat heartily without any bad effects.” Sold by all dealers. C

A ROMANCE OF THE GOLDEN WEST

Ensign Janies E. Brenner and Miss Florence Marshall Married at Santa Crus, Cal. •; ■ ■ ■ ■ » Schoolmates, in youth in Rensselaer and separated by the width of a continent for several years Ensign James E. Brenner and Miss Florence Marshall have furnished opportunity for a delightful romance by their marriage last Saturday in the Marshall cottage at Santa Cruz, Cal. Miss Marshall was the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph W. Marshall, for many years residents of this city. They moved to the west some ten or twelve yearsago, when Florence was still a little girl. James E. Brenner is the son of Mrs. Carrie Brenner and resided in this city until he received an appointment to the U. S. naval academy from which he graduated* in 1913. After a leave of abserfee spent tn. Rensselaer he left for the Pacific eoast in July, 1913, to begin his duties as an ensign in the navy having been assigned to the battleship Pittsburg. After cruising along the west Mexican coast for several months the Pittsburg went out of commission and Ensign Brenner was sent to Mare Island, the naval training station near San Francisco, and attached to the U. S. S. St. Louis. Just when Ensign Brenner began his siege of the Marshall cottage at Santa Cruz neither his friends nor the friends of his bride here are informed, but for some time brief messages of the romance have been reaching Rensselaer and it was known for several weeks that there was to be a capitulation* of the Snnta Cruz cottage and that the navy was to succeed in the land engagement. The final surrender came Saturday, September 12, when in the cottage at Santa Cruz there were assembled the mother of Ensign Brenner, Mrs. Carrie Brenner; one sister of the Miss Marshall, formerly Miss Frances Marshall and her husband, and a number of friends of Miss Marshall. A ring was used in place of a sabre and the conquerer bestowed it upon the conquered, pledging that henceforth the navy will be the champion and the defender of the former mistress of the rose-covered cottage at Santa Cruz. Ensign Brenner is taking a leave of absence, which himself and bride will spend visiting several places in California. After the leave is up they will take up their residence in a flat at Valejo, Cal., where Mrs. Brenner, Sr., will remain during the winter, a companion for her new daughter. The many friends of Ensign and Mrs. Brenner will join the Republican in wishing long lives of happiness and that no war entanglements shall occur to blight the bliss made possible by this romance of former Rensselaer young people.
