POLITICAL DILEMMA
Conditions in South Dakota All
at Sea on Electoral
Ticket

Pierre. Oct. 29.-with only a brief
period intervening until election,
South Dakota, so far as presidential
electors are concerned, is anybody's
state on president if the claims. of the
rival managers are to be considered.

troll of the machinery of the republican
party in the state. and who had five
Roosevelt men placed en- the regular
republican ballot AS electors, rs cleo.
ton approaches profess to be confident
that the Roosevelt electors will be
elected. The supporters of President
Taft and the La Toilette men of the
state, who have no electors in the
field. are equally confident that the
Roosevelt electors will be defeated.

order to keep it from Roosevelt.
The whole outcome of the election
on presidential electors depends upon
whether the Taft or La Toilette sup
porters will vote for the Wilson cleo
tors in sufficient number to overcome
the heavy normal republican majority
in the state.
The best they can venture is that the
Roosevelt electors may sweep the state
by a majority of 10, 600 or upward,
while the chances appear just as
good for the Wilson electors to carry
the state by anywhere from 5000 to
10. 600 majority over the Roosevelt list.
Most of the straw votes thus far taken
in the state appear to favor Wilson,
and many disinterested observers ex-
press the opinion hat South Dakota
will elect the Wilson electors. This
possibility. it is perhaps needless to
say, is not conceded by the supporters
of Roosevelt.

DISFIGURED WITH CRUSTS

Some time ago I was taken with eczema from the top of my head to my waist It began with scales on my body. l suffered untold itching and burning, and could not sleep. was greatly disngured with scales and crusts. My ears looked as if they had been most cut off with razor, and my neck was perfectly raw. l suffered untold agony and pain. I tried two doctors who said I had eczema in it's fullest stage, and that 1t could not be cured I then tried other rem edies to no avail. At last, tried set of the genuine Cuticura Remedies. which cured me of eczema when all else had failed, therefore 1 cannot praise them too highly.
 'I suffered with eczema about ten months, but nm now entirely cured. and l believe Cutieura Remedies arc the best skin cure there is." (Signed) Miss Hattie J. Shaffer. R. F. D. 1, Box 6, Dancy. Miss, Oct 27, 1910.
 "I had suffered from eczema about four years when boils began to break l
 out on different parts of my body. It started with a fine red rash. My back was affected first. when 1t also spread over my face. The itching was almost unbearable at times. tried different soaps and salves, but nothing seemed to help me until 1 began to use the Cuticura Soap and Ointment. One box of them cured me entirely. recommended them to my sister for her baby who was troubled with tooth eczema, and they completely cured her baby" (Signed) Mrs. F. l.. Marber- 1 ger, Drehersville.
