the health Of the nation viii ultimately

question over which doctors viii al

right in saying that there is no dis
agreement as TO the injuriousness OF
the use Of tobacco to persons who have
not attained their full growth. As It is
probably true that the decrease I'm the
consumption Of cigarettes is due main

flying.

A THE campaign progresses the
1 \ local situation is clearing. As
usually happens, as election day APP
proachcs candidates representing nil
nority sentiments are Withdrawing.
Yesterday witnessed the sweeping away
Of bunch OF Union Republican NOM
inecs in this county. and the others are
only fencing for some advantage.
The state ticket agreed on by the
Two Republican state committees, from
present Indications win at the polls be
practically unopposed. 1t Is understood
that an the candidates on the independ-
ent ticket headed by DR.. Chandler have
been asked to withdraw therefrom, and
1t is expected that notice Of these With
drawals win be filed today. Dr. Chand-
Ter. according TO his statement yester-
day win then stand alone.
Should he remain on the ticket tin

reports from the registration Of the
several counties indicate that the RE-
publicans have the advantage through

why the state committed desired the
Republican candidates TO Withdraw
from the Independent ticket. the pur.
pose being to take the Chandler ticke

1t is a question, however, whether the
candidates are wise in declining a nom
nation that they did not seek and
which would have insured them what
ever support DR.. Chandler receives.
However, perhaps they reason wisely
when they hold that they cannot afford

gether in vain.
And if we may believe the reports on
the registration IN an sections Of the
state, the Republicans win only have
70 hold their own to elect their whole
ticket including Lea for Governor. In
this county they have a large majority
normally and It is claimed that In
