Here’s Real Dope on Coming Election; No More Worry.

You may now settle down to the regular routine of business and give your shattered nerves a rest. The campaign that has been the attraction for the past several months is practically over and the presidential race settled. The ingenuity of twd Rensselaer citizens has made the above possible. Tiring of the constant wrangling between the supporters of Hughes and Wilson, J. W. Wiseman and Harry Milner decided to settle theTssue once and for all. Five cents was all that was needed to turn the trick. The aforesaid jitney purchased two sheets of tanglefoot fly paper at a nearby grocery store. With the treasured fly paper in their possession Milner and Wiseman wrote the name of Hughes on the back of one and Wilson on the back of the other. Each was placed in a promising spot, to catch the unwary summer nuisance.. At the end of each day the tangle-

foots are changed, in order that one may not have an undue advantage over the other. ; _ Monday morning the papers showed that President Wilson was leading his opponent by three flyp, but before the day had passed Hughes had gone around the president and was assuming a commanding lead. About all the available flys have been caught and the election of Hughes is now practically assured.
