CHICAGO. Nov. THE republicans made
a clean sweep OF the election in Chicago
and Cook county today, electing all Of
their candidates with the exception of one
man. The sole democrat to reach the prom
Used land was Webb, candidate for trus-
tee of the sanitary district.
The republicans elected four judges of the
superior court by pluralities ranging from
10000 to 5000; one judge to fill a vacancy
on the bench of the superior court by a
plurality of about 1000; judge of the cir
cult court by 10000, and eight out of nine
members OF the Board of Sanitary Trus-
tees by pluralities ranging from 1000 to
5000 A strong fight was waged for the
presidency Of the board Of trustees between
Mccormick. the republican candidate, and
Wenter. the democratic nominee. McCorm-
ick was successful by about 1900, and
Wenter failed to gain position as a mem
Der OF the board by at least 1000 votes. The
race between Webb, the high man on the
democratic ticket and Baker, the low man
on the republican side, was very close
with the chances in favor of Webb, al
though at midnight Baker was conceded to
have a fighting chance.
A number Of important questions were up
for consideration by the voters and all of
them were carried by large majorities They
included an amendment TO the charter of
the city by virtue OF which the term OF the
mayor Of the city is heightened from two to
four years; the adjustment of the present
system OF justice courts; the creation of a
forest preserve in Cook county; the right
of the city to regulate the price Of gas, and
authority to operate an electric light plant
and sell to private consumers all OF the
current not used for municipal purposes.
An election for congressman was held
in the Fourteenth district to I'LL the
vacancy caused by the death of the late
b. r. Marsh. James Mckinney, republican,
of Aledo, was elected by $500 over ].
Howard Pattee, OF Monmouth, democrat.
About half of the usual vote was cast.

The elections in many cities developed
surprises chief among which was the de-

didate for reelection on the republican
ticket at Terra Haute was defeated by
James M. Lyons. democrat, who conducted
his campaign on the issue of municipal
ownership. With the exception of clerk
and one councilman, the entire democratic
ticket was elected at Lafayette. Indica-
lions are that the republican candidate

superior court Judge.
Public interest centered in the contest
for state treasurer, for which the principal
candidates were ]. Lee Plummer, nominee
Of the republican and citizens parties, and
William H. Berry, the candidate OF the
democratic, prohibition, Lincoln and indie
pendent parties. Berry was also the choice
OF the city party leaders OF Philadelphia,
although his nomination was never for
mally endorsed by that party on the ground
that It was purely local organization.
Judge Stewart was appointed by the gov
ernor to succeed the late Judge John
Dean early last summer and was after

committee for the full term. He was sub
sequently nominated by the democratic,
prohibition and all other parties in Phila-

sition Of the then mayor, Patrick Coyle. an
election for city officers was held today

held here, in that only one ticket, headed
by F. A. Garesche, was printed on the
ballots. Four hundred and eighteen ballots
were cast, 400 for the citizens party can
didates; seventeen were defective and on
one Garesche's name had been erased and
Coyle's substituted.
The state supreme court recently held
that the election last spring was Illegal,
and several weeks ago Mayor Coyle or
dered a new election. Last Sunday. how
ever, Mayor Coyle changed his mind and
issued an order calling off the election.
claiming that the order was illegal. The
Garesche faction refused to abide by the
last order and yesterday forced the board
OF trustees to print the ballots with the
names of their candidates upon them.
Immediately after the result of the cleo
ton was known today former Mayor Coyle,
accompanied by his son and the latter's
wife, left town, his destination not even

once it begins, the day will surely come

A lady writes from Cal:
1--WE we're great coffee drinkers IN our
home, using 1t at every meal and frequently
drinking IL in the evening with friends,
and ii was not until after the lapse Of
years that we began TO realize that il
was doing us HARM,
my symptoms were not so bad although
my health suffered in many minor ways,
but my husband became afflicted with most
painful stomach trouble. He could not as
simulate his food properly and everything
he ate gave him great distress. We were
slow to suspect the truth, but we now see
that II was caused by the use OF coffee
AT last he determined TO quit using cof-
fee altogether, and, like a good wife, l did
so. too We worried along for a month
without any hot table beverage, Till one
day a friend happened to say to me, L am
! using Postum Food Coffee now and feel SO
much better for it, told her that we had
tried It and did not care for H. and she said
I IL must have been because it wasn't properly
! nrepared So / bought package and pre-
! pared it strictly according to directions.
We were sstonished and delighted at the
/ result
1--WE have been using Postum Coffee for
a year now, and rejoice to be able TO tell
you that 1t has cured my husband of his
dyspepsia. This Is a statement that does
/ not seem to have the significance it ought
20 have. II / could make you understand
how intense his sufferings used to be, you
would realize what a deiiverance Postum
wrought for him.
