revision so as to fit the very latest
ideas of what constitutes real must

WOULD FORCE
COUNTY LOCAL
OPTION FIGHT
CONTINUED From Page One)

tive policy Of the league for the COM
ing year was carried.
So it will seem from this that the
saloon keepers and the brewers are
to have the time of their lives in the
next couple of months. The position
taken by the Anti-Saloon leaders is
that If elections are held before the
legislature convenes the results will
SO popularize the county local option
law that the legislature will not dare
TO repeal it. OF course. they may be
off in their calculations. for there Is
an unmistakable demand from both
republicans and democrats for the re-
peal of the county option law. This.
of course. has for its object a rebuke
to Governor Hanly and Hanlyism as
anything else, but just the same the
demand exists.
Timothy Nicholson. of Richmond.
was reelected president of the Anti
Saloon league for the next year.
The Prohibition State committee
met yesterday also. but there was no
bond of love noticed between 1t and
the Anti-Saloon league meeting. In
fact, the Prohibitionists said things
about the other crowd. They charg-
ed that the Anti-Saloon league is now
purely a political organization, an ad-
junct to one of the old parties. and
that its daw of usefulness is at an
end. The Prohibitionists decided to
assist in the holding of county local
option elections, the idea being that
local option is a step toward absolute
prohibition. This is new stand for
the prohibitionists. Heretofore they
have always opposed local option as a
compromise with the rum demon-a
mere subterfuge-but they seem to
have changed their notion.
Argue Against Kern.
After all, the United States senator
ship fight may develope into scrap
between the city of Indianapolis and
the rest Of the state. If it does it will
mean a fight between John w. Kern
on the one side and all the outside in
! fluences on the other side.
| Some of the upstate and down-state
candidates are using the argument
against Kern that he is from Marion
| county, and that Marion county al
ways wants to hog everything. They
point out that not only does Kern
want to be senator, but that there are
| Indianapolis candidates for nearly ev
cry other job that Governor Mar
shall will have to fill. Just how eff.
fective this line of argument will be
cannot be told now, but it is going on
There is a belief among the wise
heads, however, that Kern will have
all the way from twenty-five to thir-
ty-five votes in the democratic caucus
when it comes time to line up and vote
| for United States senator. Slack
they say, will have from fifteen te
number. The other votes will be dl
vided among the other candidates, bu
no one seems able to figure out how
they will stand.
| 1t was learned last night that the
Third congressional district will 6i
vide its vote almost enevly between
Slack and Shiveley. Shiveley will al
SO get some votes in other parts of tho
southern end Of the state
But the senatorial fight is almost a
a standstfll, and will probably remain
that way for another week.

How to Tell Whether a Skin Aztec
tion is an Inherited Blood Disease
or Not.
Sometimes it is hard to determine
whether skin affection is sign of a
blood disorder or simply form of
eczema. Even physicians are often
puzzled in their diagnosis. The best
way for any one afflicted is to go to
w. III. Sudhoffs or any good druggist
who handles pure drugs and obtain so
cents worth of poslam. Apply this,
and IL the itching stops at once and
the trouble is cured in a few days it
may be set down as having been ecze-
ma, as this is the way poslam acts in
the worst cases of eczema, and in cur
ing acne, herpes, blotches, letter,
piles, salt rheum, rash. BARRIERS and
other forms of itch, scaly scalp, and
all surface skin affections.
