ELLIOTT LEADS BY 3,500 OVER HIS OPPONENT

Lands Biggest Congressional Majority in Sixth District in Decade. Official anl unofficial returns from 249 of the 251 precincts of the Sixth Indiana Congressional District today indicate that Representative Richard N.. Elliott, the Republican nominee for congress, received a majority of 3,500 over Harry G. Strickland, the Democratic candidate. This majority is one of the largest polled by a Republican congressional candidate in the Sixth District in a decade. Mr. Elliott has been elected to serve until March 4, 1921. , At the - special congressional election In June, 1917. Elliott defeated Finley H. Gray, Democrat, by a majority of 2.800, or 700 less than the majority he received yesterday over . Strickland. At the election in 1916, Comstock, Republican, defeated Gray, -Democrat, by a little over 900 votes. The Majorities in Counties. . Following 1 a tabulated list of the majorities given in the Various counHps of the district to the two congressional candidates, yesterday, the figures either being official or reliable estimates based on nearly complete returns: ' Franklin, Strickland 500 Fayette. Elliott fit 7

Franklin, Strickland 500'

Henry, Elliott 1.400 Hancock, Strickland 260 Rush, Elliott 793 Shelby, Strickland 400 Union, Elliott 231 Wayne. Elliott 1,624 KJllott's indicated majority, 3,505. Republican leaders throughout the district attribute a great part of this overwhelming Republican victory to the recent action of President Wilson in making what they term a very partisan appeal to the American people to support the Democratic congressional candidates. They say the President's action served to arouse and solidify the Republican voters. Elliott Is Popular. Representative Elliott carried Wayne county at the special election last year by a majority of 1,205, which was 419 less than the majority he -e-teived yesterday. Results indicate that Mr. Elliott received his support in Wayne county from all classes of citizens. It is said that members of the Democratic organization who had expected to poll the greaXtfnajorlty of the working men in Richmond for .'-trlckland were bitterly disappointed.

Three Generations of Women For three generations women of this country have used and recommended to their children and children's children the use of that famous eld root and herb remedy, Lydia E. Plnkham's Vegetable Compound, until today it is recognized everywhere as ihe standard remedy for woman's Ills. It contains no narcotics or harmful drugs; is made from roots and herbs of the field under the most sanitary condition, and any woman suffering from such ailments should be sure to give it a trial. Adv.

Republican leaders assert that the majority of this class of voters gave their support to Elliott. He was the popular choice of the business men of the county and the great bulk of the farmer vote also went to him. The result In Henry county was one of the surprises of the election. That county, with a normal Republican majority of from 930 to 1.000 gave Elliott a majority of approximately 1,400, Rush county also greatly Increased its Republican vote, giving Elliott 793 majority although the normal -. Republican majority in that county la approximately 500. Hancock a Surprise. Democratic leaders were greatly surprised over the results in Hancock county, the borne of Mr. Strickland. They had figured Strickland would carry that county by over 1,000 majority, but Strickland's majority was cut down to 260. Representative Elliott carried his home county 617, which is approximately 100 above the normal Republican majority. It is stated that every township in Fayette went Republican, even rock-ribbed Democratic Waterloo township, which had never gone Republican before in its history. The Democratic majorities in both Franklin and Shelby counties were considerably reduced. Elliott's majority in Union, 231, is approximately the normal Republican majority in that county.

While heavily engaged, Lieutenant Bonnalie saw one of his machines in difficulty and trying to make our lines with an enemy plane close at his tail. Regardless of his own danger from the remaining planes, he dived to the assistance of the crippled plane. Taking advantage of his pre-occupation, several enemy planes attacked him from the rear. But in spite of this rear attack he drove off the enemy's plane and allowed the damaged plane to land within our lines. Half of Lieut. Bonnalie's tail plane was shot away, but with his observer lighting off the enemy from the rear, they regained our lines and, with the elevator control shot through, made a landing.

rifle shot The other three of the machine gun crew fled, but he pursued them alone, cut them off from the rear and captured all three. Later, inthe same village he captured, single-Banded, sixteen of the enemy in one group.

GEORGE M'KINNEY IN BASE HOSPITAL

"You see I am now in the hospital. Before I have always been lucky in dodging shells, but this time, I guess I must have forgot to dodge. Anyway at present I have an arm and leg both out of commission. They didn't seem to be satisfied in hitting me ono place but had to sprinkle it all around," writes Corporal George M. McKinney from Base Hospital 202 In France. "I am getting a nice rest, though, now. And one we have needed for a long time, and we have real American nurses here. It certainly makes a fellow feel good to hear 'American talk once more. The French, of course, are very good, but their jabbering all the time gets on a fellow's nerves. "Lots of people say 'What 13 a letter.' Well. I do not think it takes much imagination to realize the joy one brings after a week, two weeks, or three have gone by with no word from home. You have no doubt heard the expression 'letter from strangers' there is no such word as stranger, we are all friends in this common cause."
