INDIANA SPLITS ON
STATE AND NATION
Taft Gets Electoral Vote. but
Democrats Elect Governor.

Indianapolis, Nov 5.-For the first
time since Thomas A. Hendricks was
elected governor on the Democratic
state ticket and u. S. Grant received
the electoral vote of the state for the
Republican national ticket Indiana has
given a plurality to the Republican
candidate for president and at the
same time elected the Democratic
candidate for governor. According to
the latest estimate Mr.. Taft received
q plurality of about $4,000 and Thorn
as r. Marshall was victorious over
James E.. Watson, Republican candi-
date for governor. by about 5000.
The congressional representation
from this state will probably be seven
Democrats and six Republicans.
The legislature is in doubt Marion
county, with its twelve members of
the legislature, went heavily Demo
cratic for the county ticket and car
ried down with it the Republican leg
islative candidates and possibly Con
gressman Jesse Overstreet. One of
the Republican leaders conceded that
the lawmaking body is very close, but
he adhered to the opinion that the
lead the Republicans have in the sew.
enteen holdover senators will save ii
to the Republicans on joint ballot and
insure the reelection of Senator
James A. Hemenway.

SEVERAL OTHERS SPLIT VOTE
Favor Taft for President, but Elect
Democratic Governors.

New York, Nov. 5.-While the elec
tion of William Fl. Taft as president
by large majority of the electoral
vote is an absolute certainty, the re-
suit is so close in Maryland and West
Virginia as to center attention upon
those states. The latest returns indi
cate that Bryan has carried West Vir-
ginia and Maryland by small plurali.
ties.
OF the national figures in the field
for governor Hughes was elected in
New York state, Johnson in Minnesota
and Harmon in Ohio.
The returns showed also that Bryan
had won over his own state of Nebras-
ka Although Taft carried Indiana.
Ohio and probably Montana all three
Of those states appear to have elected
Democratic governors, Judge Harmon
apparently winning in Ohio and Thorn
as r. Marshall in Indiana.
On the other hand, while Bryan car
ried Missouri by safe margin the
election of Herbert s. Hadley, the Re-
publican candidate for governor, is in
dicated.
The uncertainty also extends to sew
eral of the legislatures, which will
choose United States senators to fill
vacancies caused by expiration OF
terms, of which there are thirty-one.
Late advices indicate that Montana,
up to now listed in the Bryan column,
has given Taft plurality. This would
apparently give Taft 294 electoral
votes, and with the possible addition
Of West Virginia seven more.

itv over Bryan will be more than 100,-

The estimate of plurality for John

returns from the cities and returns
from about two-ffths of, the precincts
outside the Twin Cities. Johnson's
plurality in Minneapolis Is 1851 and
his majority in Ramsey county is
around 5000. Returns from about
1000 of about $500 precincts outside

rest of the country districts Johnson
will carry the counties outside OF

A well-known authority on Rheu.
matism gives the readers of a large
New York daily paper the following
valuable, yet simple and harmless,
prescription, which any one can easily
prepare at home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce: Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
Mix by shaking we'll in a bottle, and
take a teaspoonful after each meal
and at bedtime.
He states that the ingredients can
be obtained from any good prescrip-
ton pharmacy at small cost, and, be-
ing of vegetable extraction, are harm
less to take.
This pleasant mixture, if taken reg
ularly for a few days, is said to over
come almost any case of Rheumatism.
The pain and swelling, if any, dimin-
ishes with each dose, until permanent
results are obtained, and without in
juring the stomach. While there are
many so-called rheumatism remedies,
patent medicines, ETC., some of which
do give relief, few really give perma-
