,r.Mosr 4 DEMOCRATIC SENATE.

Fortune has smiled on the Democrats
of late. Everything seems TO indicate
that Democratic Senate and Demo
cratic President will be added to the
present Democratic House in short
time. Mr. Taft keeps on putting a
strong plank in the Democratic plat
form every now and then. and. all
things considered. the Democrats are
doing snlendidly.
il is hard TO realize how near the
Democrats will come TO a majority in
tho Senate within less than two years.
When the regular session starts in No
vember we shall lack but FIVE votes or
a majority, and by March 4, 1913. VIC
surely Will be able to muster more
than a majority.
Five more Senators would give the
Democrats forty seven votes and the
Republicans forty-fiye. 1t is we'll
known fact that the narrow margin
now existing between the two parties
in the Senate is worrying the Repub-
leans very much.
inc Democrats have an excellent
chance of getting another Senator from
New Jersey. one from Delaware and
one from Colorado. What changes in
Republican control in the various states
lie ahead. no one can predict. but IL
looks as IL a Democratic Vice President
will preside over a Democratic Senate
in 1913.

The People spcak.

The Parma village election is
over, and the people have spok-
en-, and this time there is no ques-
tion as to the majority, or the
will OF the majority.
The old order of municipal
thing has passed. The men who
have controlled the affairs OF the
village are relegated to the rear.
They we're men OF intelligence
of good business standing-of
moral worth. The Herald be-
lieves, that so far as their judg-
ment was capable, they earnestly
and honestly did everything in
their power for the good and well
fare OF the people of Parma. But
they were hampered by one fact.
Since his advent into Parma,
(after fighting US for years. Mr.
E. NJ. Kirkpatrick has attempt
ed. and claimed, to dominate
the affairs of the town. His alb
surd claims and arbitrary utter
ances have caused us to be called

cent funeral Under this handi
cap the old board of trustee

they are, the burden has been TOT

Still Living.

Any time you get the idea in
your head that Parma people
are dead ones. you have another
guess coming.
The election Tuesday was one
of the most energetic waves that
ever hit this section. When your
registration comes within four
OF the entire number entitled to
register, and your vote polled
lacks only two votes OF the total
registration, (and one OF them
hid out), it seems to us that this
is going some, and that is exact
ly what happened in Parma
Tuesday. The battle was fought
out between the "Citizans" and
"Progressives" on every princi-
pie from the Ten Commandments
to the hiding ont of John Alex
ander, and the "Progressives'
won four rounds out OF the five.
Under the regulations of the late
and lamented legislature a citi-
zen has no right on earth any
way, and that ticket should have
been differently named. Bald
ridge should have looked after
that. After painful inquiry we
have discovered the reason for
the defeat OF DR.. Easter on the
Progressive" ticket: Several
ladies came INTO his office that
day 10 have teeth pulled, and ey-
cry one of them went to the polls
and voted against him on the
grounds that it hurt. He should
have used laughing gas.
Below we give the vote. Draw
your own conclusionsl

sample of Pep-Senna, the great kidney,

that delays are dangerous" applies more
fully to the kidney, liver and bladder
diseases than to anything else. Diseases
of the kidney, liver and bladder will
stand no trifing, because there is no dis
ease so deceptive, and nothing more
fatal.
Look backward and recall to memory
the many sufferers, and others who have
died during the past year. Have you
