ONLY ONE WAY TO DEFEAT PETERSON

That Way is to Vote For Will R. Wood—Study the Situation and Do the Right Thing. The vote on the three highest candidates for congress in the TentL district in 1912 w&s as follows: Peterson (dem)_ •• • • 18,401 Crumpacker (rep) 17,294 Bowers (progressive) ......... 9,793 That was when the progressive , moveipent was at hig'h tide. Of the 9,793 votes cast by the progressives in the whole district 5,659 were in Lake county. At the primary last spring in that county the progressive vote had shrunk to 660, and the democratic vote from 5,136 to 2,260, while the republican vote jumped from 5,176 to 6,600. This is in Lake county alone. Elsewhere in the district, where no primaries have been Held, no exact figures are at hand, but it is a matter of common knowledge that many former progressives all over the district are now acting with the republicans, and that there are practically no desertions from the republican vote of 1912. Therefore in order for the progressives to win they must get over 9,000 votes from the democratic ranks. This is about as likely Of attainment as that Lake Michigan should be transplanted to the ' south end of the district. Let us suppose an absurdity. Suppose that the progressives should hold the vote they cast in 1912 for Bowers and that Mr. Ade, by his ponayerful appeals to the farmers, Should beguile 300 of them In each county in the district to vote for him in addition to those who voted for Bowers in 1912. That would give him an increase of 2,400 votes, or a total oif 12,193. Suppose all these 2,400 new votes should come from the republican party (which is another absudlty in view of the progressive boasts of what they are doing to the democrats this year); even then the republican loss would be more than offset by their gain In Lake county alone, which, judging by their gain in the primary, will be not less than 3,000. Granting that this gain comes equally Ldm the democrats and progressives, Will Jrf. Wood’s election would still be assured by about 1,000 plurality. So by the most liberal concessions and granting that Peterson will hold his vote of 1912 in every county "of the district except Lake, which it is evident he will not do, the election of a progressive congressman from this district is a will o’ the wisp, and the votes cast for. Mr. Ade because he claims to be a farmer will be worse than thrown away. The indications are that Wall R. Wood will be elected by a handsome majority, but however that may be, the race is evidently be tween Wood and Peterson, and all the beating of the bushes for Ade is really only a much needed aid for a democratic congressman who is about to lose his seat.

PRICES ARE HIGH: HAVE BEEN HIGHER

- ’ ~—?s Books of Sedalia, Mo., Firm Tell of Prices That Prevailed* in 1869—Potato Shortage. 9 * » ii K The crop of potatoes* in Illinois, owing to the extremely dry summer,'is bound to be way below the average. lowa is more favored, and according to the government report, the state has 147,000 acres planted to potatoes and the yield is estimated at 13,377,000 bushels, which is 91 per cent of a full yield. In the U. S. there' are 3,708,000 acres planted to this product and the government estimate of the yield is 360,614,000, which is thought to- be high, as the drouth ip some of the potato raising* states has cut down the prospects for a full crop. Last year this country produced 331,5*25,000 bushels of potatoes that sold for an average of 90 cents a bushel, majclng a total valuation of $227,903,000. In these days when the head of the family is fretting''because of the high cost of the necessities! of life, the following which comes from Sedalia, Mo., Will be of interest: A bill of Brandt & Broa, grocers, dated July 3, 1869, was found today by Peter Brandt, and it is of ‘unusual interest because of the recent increases in the prices of foodstuffs. In July, 1869, these charges were made: Peck of potatoes, 40c; five pounds ofsugar, $1; two pounds of rice, 30c; pound of raisins, 35c; four dozen eggs, 80c; two glasses Jelly, 70c; three and one-quarter pounds of coffee, $1; half peck green apples, 20c; half gallon green pea®, 25c f pound of lard, 25c; pound of butter, 30 cents; half dozen ears of corn 10c; si* bars of soap, 60c; pound of stareh, 15c; bottle of blueing 10c; bottle of extract of lemon, 25c; five chickens $1.15; one ham $2.

Did Any Democrats Hereabouts Make Any Such Demands?

Governor Ralston in his keynote speech a few days ago, seeking excuse the wholesale- increase of salaries and creating of commissions by the dernocmtiT party, said: “In obedience to the public demand for laws concerning more work and new functions, new offices and new deputy-ships -were created and filled.” Now what do you think of that exhibition of gall? Public demand for new and new deputyships came from the coterie of office seekers apd not from the public. The public has been pretty busy crying down such extravagance on the part of the democratic state administration. Governor Ralston has gotten his wires crossed, and will probably hear a different demand from the public on election day.

DECIDE YOURSELF.

The Opportunity !> Here, Backed By Rensselaer Testimony. ffon’t take our word for it Don’t depend on a stranger’s statement. Read Rensselaer endorsement. Read the statements of Rensselaer citizens. And decide for yourself. Here is one case of it Charles Malchow, Harvey Street Rensselaer, Ind, says: “Kidney complaint and backache kept me in misery for years. The attacks came on so frequently that it seemed as if I was never free from pain. My back was most affected and often the pain extended through my shoulders and even Into my neck. The kidney secretions annoyed me by their irregularity in passage and proved that my kidneys were at fault Years ago I learned about Doan’s Kidney Pills and on getting a supply at Pendig’s Drug Store, used them. After taking a few doses, I knew that I had at last found the remedy I needed. My kidneys were strengthened and the pains in my back were removed. I have taken Doan’s Kidney Pills since when having similar attacks and I have never failed to get relief. Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedyget Doan’s Kidney same that Mr. Malchow had. FosterMllbum Cto, Props, Buffalo, N. Y.

TERRIBLE LOSSES IN EUROPEAN WAR

Neither Side Has Material Advantage Bat Daily Conflicts Result In Many Deaths.

Terrific fighting between the Germans and the Allies continues and there is nothing to Indicate material advantage to either side Heavy artillery continues to play an important part in the battle, the Germans using 'their siege guns, it is believed, to halt the French and English.

The following summary gives the latest reports in brief. While the battle of the allies and the Germans continues along the entire front in France, there has been relatively no change In the positions of the armies. The hardest fighting apparently is proceeding on the eastern and western ends of the lines, the allies on the west endeavoring to encircle the Germans and on the east the Germans are. trying to break through the allies’ line in the vicinity of Verdun. The Russian advance guard is said to be before the Austrian fortress of • Cracow. In the far east a British force of 1,209 men has landed at Laoshan, China, and is expected shortly to attack the outer defenses of TsingTau in conjunction with the Japanese. A Franco-Brittsh blockading fleet is sfiid to have isolated the Austrian seaport of Oattero tfrid to be
