The largest factor contributing to
a mans success is undoubtedly
health. 1t has been observed that
man is seldom sick when his bow

when they are constipated. For
constipation you will find nothing
quite so good as Chamberlain Tat

them at every turn, and calling for

downs for the varsity was the total of
the scoring. Hodgson tallying twice on
pretty end runs and Hoge being showed

Missouri Senator Considers Result Of

ST. LOUIS. Mo. November 3.-Sena tor
William J. Stone of Missouri. chairman
of the Senate foreign affairs commit
tee considers the result of the election
an emphatic Endorsement of the Wilson
administration. He says:
THE republicans have been saying
that if they could become united they
could lick US. They were united every
where and the contest generally was a
clean cut fight between the democrats
standing by Wilson's administration
and the republicans opposing it.
THE vote of the progressive party
seems to have almost completely disap-
peared.
considering the fact that this is an
off year: that the democrats have en-
acted a new tariff law and new cur
rency legislation: that We have had to
meet the hard times cry. and that a
great war is on, which has absorbed
public attention, think the democrats
have done remarkably we'll.
Il have just sent President Wilson Il
telegram congratulatine him on the
fact that the country has voiced its
approval OF his policies.
with democratic ma jorities reduced,
the fight between the two parties in
Congress will be interesting. The
democrats will be on their mettlc.

APPEAL BRIEF FILED
BY NEWMAN TODAY
Cites Ten Errors by Justice
Gould in Trying the
Custer Case.
PRESIDENT AND SENATE
PASSED ON RESIDENCE
Counsel Declares Presumption Is
They Were Right, But Jury
Was Not So Informed.

| Oli.er t. Newman, president OF the
filed in the District Court of Appeals
his brief in favor of his contention
that the custer Judgment rendered
against him by the District Supreme
Court, after a verdict of jury, should
be vacated. The brief covers forty-one
pages of printed matter, and renews
and Celebrates the ten assignments of
error pointed out by counsel for the
Commissioner as having been commit
ted by Justice Could, who presided at
the jury trial.
\ reply brief from the relator, Will
liam j. Frizzell. the taxpayer who is
testing the eligibility of Mr. Newman,
is expected to be filed in a few days
Hearing on the case possibly will be
advanced by the appellate court and
set for the last week of November In
its regular course the case would not
be reached until the January term
Errors Are Alleged.
Particular stress is laid by Attorneys
Ralston & Richardson, George W. Holt
and Solicitor General Davis, whose
names appear on the brief counsel
for Mr.. Newman, on the error of the
trial court in submitting to the jury
the same evidence as to actual resi-
dence as was heard and acted upon by
President Wilson and the Senate when
it confirmed Mr.. Newman's nominal
ton. While assavowing any intention
to reargue the questions determined on
previous appeal by the appellate
court adversely to Mr.. Newman, the
brief of the appellant states:
While we do not offer any argument
or suggestion in opposition to the prior
opinion of this honorable court in this
case. we nevertheless feel that we are
not precluded from calling attention be-
fore leaving this general subject to
certain considerations involved in the
fifth, sixth and seventh of respondents
prayers.
These prayers contemplated that the
jury should give weight to the finding
of the President and Senate that New
man was qualified. as shown by their
action. There is a presumption, so well
known as to scarcely need the citation
OF authority, in favor of the regularity
of all public acts They are entitled to
the benefit of presumption of right
fulness. and this presumption should
have been presented to the jury 1t
was not SO presented. but the jury were
left at their own free will to determine
the issues

ion on their part. but It appears
throughout the record that the Presi-
dent and Senate had in mind the very
objections subsequently passed on by
the jury. They did act and did de-
termine. and, nevertheless, the jury
were permitted to redetermine these
facts without any presumption in favor
of the rightfulness of the existing
status.
number of decisions are cited AS
sustaining the contention of Mr..
Newman.
The brief maintains the position
taken by counsel that Mr.. Newman was
an actual resident Of the District for
three years prior to his appointment
and that he never during that period
claimed residence elsewhere.
Question of Absences.
The court is advised that Mr.. New
man in his temporary absences from
Washington always had the intention
of returning. and refused to sign con-
