MAY RECOUNT ON CLERK VOTE

Petition Filed By Mr. Hershman Asks That There Be Recount on the Vote For County Clerk.

A petition has been .filed with the county clerk by Alva D. Hershman, who made the race on the democratic ticket against Jesse Nichols, asking that there be a recount of the votes to determine who was the winner. Mr. Nichols is at the present time supposed to be the winner by four votes, but in order to satisfy certain persons, a petition for a recount has been filed. It will be remembered that there was a mistake made at first in the counting of the votes and that it was announced that Mr. Hershman had been returned .the winner over •Mr. Nichols by six votes. Later an error was discovered in the reports of Gillam and Eart Barkley, in each of which Mr. Hershman had been credited with five too many votes, which left the vote in favor of Mr. Nichols. In East Barkley Mr. Hershman was given 74 votes on the tally sheet, when he should have had 69 and in Gillam he was given 87 when he should have be6n given 82. ' • The matter of a recount will be taken up by the court this week, probably next Friday, November 17th, if the petition for a recount is granted. Judge Hanley will appoint three commissioners from the two leading political parties to make the recount, and will fix a time within the next twenty days when they shall commence the work. IMr. Nichols has applied for his commission, but it is probable that he will not take the office pending the outcome of the recount. There is no reason to think that a recount will change the result, but Mr. Hershman has everything to gain by a recount and nothing to lose even if a recount should increase Mr. Nichols’ lead.

All Precedents Broken In Victory of the Democrats.

Altogether it was a record breaking election —perhaps a turning point in American history. Political traditions were upset, precedents nullified and signs and portents discredited, says Arthur Sears Henning, in the Chicago Sunday Tribuner For the first time since Andrew Jackson, a democrat has been elected in succession. For the first time a president .has been elected without the vote of New York. For the first time Maine went republican in September and the country democratic in November. Jackson won the election by a combination of the south and the new west. Wilson was elected by a combination of the solid south, Ohio, and the newer far west. a Party lines were bent and shattered by the complicated issues of the campaign. The president received tremendous support from progressives, yet he also carried the citadel of the Old Guard, Utah, one of the two states won by Taft in 1912. In 1912 Wilson was elected with 1,300,000 fewer votes than the republicans and progressives combined. No advance in price on 'CRAWFORD shoes that we have in stock. Hilliard & Hamill.

DYING BY INGHES It is net kn uncommon sight to see people who are dying by inches. The glands of the body are not working properly, poisonous matter accumulates and health declines. The circulation becomes sluggish, the blood impure, and a general nervous or debilitated condition exists. Day by day the liver and kidneys become less active, leaving the poisonous matter within the body. This poisonous accumulation causes the sallow complexion, and a tired, achy or rundown feeling which, if neglected, may* result in jaundice, typhoid fever or serious liver and kidney trouble. Glando, the great gland toni , is especially prepared to relieve glandular disorders, throw off the poisonous accumulations and build up J he system. Glando, the great galnJ tonic, is the only treatment-of its kind upon the market. Its superior qualities are due to the fact that it contains three separate treatments, each treatment having a special part to perform in effecting a cure. For sale by B. F.

INDIANA, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1916. .

MOOSE LODGE HAD WONDERFUL MEETING

Hoopeston Degree Team Was Here iSunday to Confer. Degree Upon New Members of Local Lodge.

The affair planned for the Moose lodge last Sunday exceeded the expectation of the most sanguine of its members, as a class of something near ninety witnessed the degree work by the Hcopeston team. There was something over 250 members present and their lodge hall was packed full of enthusiastic and loyal members. Miss Ruth Wood, her mother playing the accompaniment, sang three selections entitled “Who Knows,” “Auf Wiedersehn,” .and “Within the Garden of My Heart,” that simply brought down the house. Many of the Hoopeston team who are judges of fine music pronounced Miss Wood's contralto voice as one of the finest they had ever heard, and at the close of the services a unanimous standirtg vote of thanks was accorded to her. Under the head of the “Good of the Order”, D. S. Makeever made one of the finest speeches that was ever made in any lodge room in our city and told why he had become a Moose. Mr. Smith, one of the officers form the Hoopeston, 111., lodge, told of what wonderful progress was being made by the Moose school at Moossheatr, 111., and stated that in future years graduates of that institution would speak of their degree at Mooseheart, 111., with as much pride as our sons now speak of Yale and Harvard.

He also stated that the charity of the Moose lodge did not stop within its doors but that the lodge at Indianapolis distributed over 2,500 baskets of food to the poor last Christmas and that the Hoopeston lodge distributed over 87 baskets to the poor of Hoopeston last Christmas. The Rensselaer lodge is going to do the same thing this year and they would be very glad to know of some wdrthy persons whom they can bring good cheer on next Christmas morning and ask that their names be handed to the Moose lodge for consideration. The Moose lodge is also going to hold an “Old Fiddlers” contest the last Thursday of this month, being Nov. 30, in which prizes will be given to the best contestants and ask that those going into the contest report the same as soon as possible to Chas. Pefley, Secretary, Rensselaer, Ind. Following the old time fiddlers contest will be a checker tournament for the championship of the state and also a billiard tournament for the championship of the state as the Moose lodge is in a position with their large membership to get the best that there is.

No one could have attended the services yesterday without being bathed with the baptism of fire and enthusiasm for the great things that the Moose lodge is accomplishing and will accomplish, and it is the prediction of the officers of the Hoopeston lodge that Rensselaer Lodge No. 664 will go to eight hundred members inside of a year and will be one of the greatest powers for the good o Jasper county and surrounding country. L. A. Harmon, by the unanimous vote of the lodge, was elected of parchments.

RENSSELAER IN EASY WIN OVER SUCKERS

Watseka High School Falls Before Attack of the Locals 46 to 6 Sheridan Next.

Watseka, 111., high school was routed before the attack of Coach Meyers’ cohorts easily Saturday afternoon at Riverside Athletic park, 46 to 6. After the first five minutes of play there was never a chance of the locals being returned other than winners. Dan Guild, halfback, was a whirlwind, and scampered through the Watseka defense almost at will. Sir Daniel made five touchdowns during the day and aided his team generally in all ways. Capt. Moore, Gourley and the entire line starred? Quarterback McColly was out of the game with an injury and has position was taken by York, who diet very .well considering the fact that the position was new to him. McColly will be in shape to play -When Rensselaer clashes wiith Sheridan high school at Lafayette on the 25th for the supreme honors.

Watseka received the kick at the start of the game and soon worked the ball to the red and black twentyfive yard line, where a well executed forward pass added fifteen more yards for them. Four linebucks put the oval over, but the goal was missed. This was the only score of the day for the visitors. Rensselaer again kicked to the Illinoisans, who were soon forced to kick. Rensselaer then tore through the attack of the invaders and soon had the count tied up. From this time on, there was nothing to it but Rensselaer. Score after score was rolled up with almost no opposition. Beam’s trusty toe booted the ball far into the territory of the visitors whenever Rensselaer was forced to kick and in this way he added yard after yard to the ground gained by his team during the day. The victory over Watseka Saturday made the fourth win of the season for Rensselaer, with only one defeat, and encouraged by their showing Saturday, Capt. Moore and his men are m for a strenuous two weeks’ work preparing for the clash with Sheridan at Purdue on the 25th. A victory over the southerners will settle beyond a reasonable doubt as to who is entitled to the honors. Hammond was badly defeated by Gary Saturday, 40 to 7, and their record cannot be compared with that of Rensselaer’s now, and they had the best right in this section to dispute the claim of Rensselaer.

California Will Start Official Counting Today.

The official count of the California vote in the presidential election will begin today and steps have been taken not only to expedite the work, but to insure its accuracy. Both the democratic and republican state central committees have engaged checkers and attorneys to scrutinize the count of each tally sheet and Sunday evening all .preparations were reported complete. Except in Los Angeles and San Francisco, the tally sheets sent in to the precinct election officers will be before the board of supervisors in each county. In San Francisco city' and county election returns will be handled by the election committee and in Los Angeles county by the registrar of voters. There is not expected to be any change-in the final result, however, and the republican* managers have conceded the State to Wilson.

The President of Senate Will Have Deciding Vote.

Republicans will control the next Indiana legislature with a wide majority in the house of representatives, and a tie vote dn the senate, placing the control of that house in the vot& of Edgar D. Bush, the lieutenant governor elect as presiding officer of the senate. The republicans have elected sixtyfive members of the house to thirtyfive for the democrats, and though not all the returns on these elections are official, the republican lead is too large to be affected materially by any change in the announcement of the final votes. The republicans have elected 16 members of the senate, with 8 holdover members, and one holdover, a progressive, who hds announced that he is a republican and will act with that party in the 1917 session of the legislature, saying the progressive party is virtually out of existence. The democrats have elected 10 senators, with 15 holdover members.

Why Bread is High.

In the elevators in Chicago 27,383,000 bushels of grain were in storage Oct. 31, and hundreds of cars loaded with grain lay on the tracks outside the city, while the price of bread was soaring in all parts of the country, according to J. S. Brown, transportation manager of the Chicago Board of Trade, testifying before the interstate commerce commission in its investigation into the car shortage.

There is a reason why Hilliard & Hamill are selling so many pinch back and belted back overcoats and suits. Maybe it’s because they have the largest stock, or give the best values, or have the best selected stock. Maybe it’s a combination of all three reasons—however there IS a reason.

The Rosebud Methodist Protestant church will be dedicated on Sunday, Dec. 3rd. The erection of this building started about the first of October and will be ready for occupancy about the first of December. The members have worked hard to have a church in this community and now have a nice neat little structure and are very proud of it. Rev. F. E. Crider, of Mooresville, Ind., has been here for the past several weeks aiding in the work and left for home today. Dr. Limeberry, of Jonesboro, Ind., president of the conference, will be here for the dedication exercises and will address the congregation. More particulars concerning the dedication of the church will appear later.

A Mothers Mistake A mother can make no greater mistake than to neglect cleansing baby's mouth and nasal passages each day. Neglect endangers the child to chronic nose and throat trouble. Catarrh and adenoids are the result of such neglect. The best way to protect the child is to use GLANDO GARGLE, which cleanses the mucous membrane and kills the germs. Highly recommended for sore mouth, sore throat and will reduce adenoids. It is a splendid teething lotion. For sale by B. F. FENDIG, DRUGGIST
