The amenders would be in better
shape ON this election day If they had
been able to divorce their cause from
office-seeking politicians. They tried
to do that but failed. The campaign
has been one of politics to the end.

Bowie Makes Prediction.

81 expect to see the amendment de-
feated in Alabama by from 1900 to rs 900
votes" said sydney ]. Bowie yesterday
II am positive that the returns will
show a majority of 1900. These figures
calculated from the reports of the county
chairmen, have reduced materially the es-
Inmates of the precinct leaders which
come possibly from a more direct source
However, the lowest figures cannot re-
duce the majority under 1900. and it may
go to $500. The precinct reports would
indicate from 5000 to 10000.
"I do not believe 1t possible that the
amendment will carry In 10 counties. The
majority against it in this county will ex-
coed 1000. I have never seen such large
and enthusiastic crowds in any cam
paign since I have been in public life.
believe the vote in this election, despite
the large number who have been dis
franchised. will exceed any election since
the constitutional convention"

REGARDING Maine.

Hundreds perhaps thousands, of vot-
ers have been turned from the amend
ment side to the anti-amendment side by
the dissemination of correct information
from the state of Maine,'' said an old
total abstinence advocate.
"A great many men like myself were
inclined to vote for the proposed amend
ment until we got the facts about Maine.
Prohibition leaders had been telling us
that constitutional prohibition in Maine
was a decided success. But the large
number of United States government tax
receipts issued to retail liquor dealers in
that state show that an extensive liquor
traffic is carried on there.
81 have talked with a half dozen of our
prominent citizens who have been in
Maine within the past two or three
months and they tell me that prohibition
is treated as a joke. Only on Satur-
day a telegram was received by Mr..
Leedy from Charles J. Hutchings,
prominent attorney. and for several years
a member of the legislature of Maine. in
which Mr.. Hutchings said; Governor
Fernald evidently unacquainted with
available statistics. Attorney general OF
Maine In his annual report for 1908, page
al. says for that year in Maine prose-
cutions instituted for violations of law
prohibiting sale of liquors exceed by over
so per cent prosecutions for all other Of
lenses combined. not including drunken
ness
with constitutional prohibition such q
failure, where 1t has long been tried,
why try 1t in AlabamaY
"It has been apparent to everyone that
this amendment campaign is being pushed
in the interest of certain aspirants for
office. If I did not know that Maine
prohibition was failure might have
waived my objection to the politics in
our campaign. AS 1t Is. will vote NO.

MANY MEALS FROM TURNIP.

Mrs. Robert Henderson, the wife
of the discoverer of the Klondike,
has the largest nugget ever taken
from the ground in Klondike. 1t
was taken out this fall, and Mrs.
Henderson has the honor of having
dug it up herself. The nugget weighs
25 pounds and is nothing more or
less than giant turnip, grown in
The Henderson garden at their home
in South Dawson, The turnip looks
IN size more like a pumpkin. 1t is
sound and has the peculiar quality
Of being tender and delicious to the
extent that can be secured only in
vegetables grown under the mid
night sun. Were navigation still
open Mrs. Henderson would send
the turnip to the coast to surprise
the natives of Puyallup, Chilli

is, she will slice it and have turnip

it is swamp; the Red sea, with a

prominent physicians office the other

The doctor stepped to his medicine

"Such cases are frequent, ,"replied thu

certain malaria breeders and are most
serious in those who have neglected to
keep their stomach, liver and bowels in

of the impurities on which the malarial

that typhoid fever, pneumonia, Bright's
