CAPITOL DESERTED
AS SESSION ENDS
Members Hurry to Various
States to Lend Aid in Closing
Days of Campaign.

The Capitol was almost deserted by
statesmen today. Following the ad-
journment of the session Saturday oft
ernoon. there was big exodus of Sena-
tors and House members Saturday
night and Sunday.
Most of the members especially from
the Northern States, have hurried to
their homes to enter the campaign.
Though it has been hard to arouse any
interest in politics this year, the closing
week. with hundreds of orators on the
stump, including most of Congress. will
be a whirlwind affair.
Some of the Southern members will
remain in the city. regardless Of the
end Of the session. In view Of the fail
ure of cotton legislation, it is said some
of the members from the South ppsfer
to remain in Washington rather than
TO go to face their constituents
Senator BriStow Of Kansas has hur-
ried to his State to make speeches for
the Republican ticket. Senator Bristow
was defeated in the primaries by former
Senator Curtis. Considerable specula-
ton was indulged in as to what course
Senator Bristow would take. He has
come out for the Republican ticket, and
his support will no doubt do much to
add to the Republican vote. Congress-
man Victor Murdock is making a hard
fight for election to the Senate on the
Bull Moose ticket.
Senator Norris of Nebraska will speak
in North Dakota in support Of Senator
Gronna, and in Iowa In support Of Sena-
tor Cummins.
Senator Borah is making seeches this
week in some of the Western States. in
Iowa.
Senator Hitchcock has gone to Ne
braska, and will take an active art to-
ward election of the Democratic ticket.
Senators Hoke Smith, Ollie James.
and other Southern Senators are In de-
mand for speeches this week in close
States and doubtful districts.

where stagnat!on has settled, it cleanses
the membranes, drives irritation from
the joints, fills the blood stream with
antidotal influence and from head to foot
creates conditions that make for blood
health. There are people in every com
munity who know this to be true. They
have used S. s. s. for severe forms Of
rheumatism, for indolent, liberated spots,
for eruptive skin diseases. for any and
all those bodily conditions caused by
blood loaded with impurities Being
pure product Of Nature 1t can not hurt
the stomach and has therefore been the
refuge Of a host of people misguided in
their dilemma by first flying to those
dangerous mercurial drugs which have
claimed so many unfortunates. II the
