Rev. Orloff Removed to Killisnoo


 Rev. John Orloff. the Russian priest, who attracted considerable mo- toriety last fall by being arraigned before the district court on the charge of selling liquor to his charges at Tatitlek, has been moved to Killis- moo, on Alexander archipelago. the orders for his removal being received Monday. Much friction existed re- tween the priest and the U. $. off, cials at Tititlek. on account of the ecclesiastical preferment for redeye, which it was claimed he distributed lavishly among the native converts to his church, retarding the work of the schools at the native village.
 The charge hanging over Rev. Or loff has not yet been dismissed, but 1t is expected it will be. now that he has been removed from the town.

DEEMER AND EVANS.
iContributed.1

II is quite important that the voter
does not overlook voting for the non
partisan judiciary ticket for the SUI
preme court. The candidates will be
found at the top of the extreme right
hand corner of the ballot, and the vot-
er votes for two judges.
Judge William d. Evans of Hamp-
ton. Iowa, and Judge Horace E. Deem
err of Red Oak. Iowa, are two of the
candidates. They are at present mem
bers of the supreme court of Iowa and
are candidates to succeed themselves.
Judge Deemer has been on the su-
preme bench since May, 1894, and has
probably written more opinions than
any Judge who ever sat upon that
bench, many of them Of very great inn
portance, and his opinions have never
been reversed or modified by the SUI
preme court of the United States, with
one exception wherein he followed a
previous decision of the supreme court
of Iowa He is 5S years Of age and in
the prime of life, and is considered not
only in Iowa but throughout the Unit
ed States as one of the leading jurists
of this country.
Judge Evans, the present chief JUS
tice, has been on the supreme bench
since 1908, and is considered by all at
torneys one Of the fairest judges that
ever sat upon the supreme bench. He
had many years experience in the
practice of law, and also on the bench
of the district court, before being ap-
pointed to the supreme court Of Iowa.

EVERYBODY NEEDS
PURE, RICH BLOOD

Pure blood enables the stomach,
liver and other digestive organs to do
their work properly. Without it they
are sluggish, there is loss of appe-
lite, sometimes faintness, deranged
state of the intestines, and, in general,
all the symptoms Of dyspepsia.
Pure blood is required by every or.
gan OF the body for the proper per-
Torrance OF its functions.
Hoods Sarsaparilla makes pure
blood, and this is why 1t is so sue.
cessful in the treatment of SO many
diseases and ailments. It acts d.
rectly on the blood. Kidding it of
scrofu!ous and other humors. It is
a peculiar combination Of bloodpuri-
Tying, nerve-toning, strengthening
substances. Get it today.

CUMMINS
FOR HARDING
United States Senator Unequivocal-
iy Declares Himself for
Harding for Governor.

DES MONIES, Iowa, Nov. g.
United States Senator A. B. Cum.
minis declared himself unequivocally
for w. l.. Harding, for governor, and
urged five thousand Of the citizens
of .Des Moines to support the repub-
lican gubernatorial candidate as well
as the entire state ticket, in a state.
ment which he read at a great re-
publican gathering which he presid-
ed over, at the Coliseum here Satur-
day night.
Senator CunMnins explained that
he was impelled to make the state
ment by newspapers over the state
which had implicitly questioned the
good faith of the support which he
was giving his party's candidate for
governor. The statement was pre-
pared in typewriter form and read
by Mr.. Cummins and he said:
Il hope that l have now made my
position so clear that it can not be
misunderstood, and SO emphatic that
it will not be misrepresented."
Senator Cummins declared that he
believed Mr.. Harding would faith
fully carry out the pledges of the
party platform.
so believing" he said, 81 am un-
qualifiedly and earnestly for his
election
He said in part:
"Mr. Harding is a strong, capable
man. l believe that he will faithful
ly carry out the pledges of the party
platform, and that he will honestly
redeem the promises he has made to
the people of Iowa.
II believe that he will maintain
with all his power the policy of pro.
hibition and defend the the progress
sive measures which have character
ICED the legislation Of the common
wealth during the last fifteen years.
So believing, l am unqualifiedly and
earnestly for his election. hope that
l have now made my position SO
clear that it cannot be misunderstood
and so emphatic that it will not be
misrepresented.
ut can hardly be reckoned a
crime to believe that prohibition is
not the best way to deal with the
liquor traffic. Hundreds of thousands
of the best men of the nation are
firmly convinced that local option
and national are better than prohi-
bition. While l think otherwise, it
is in the highest degree unfair and
absurd to insist that there are no
honest men save prohibitionists.
'In the long run it pays to be fair
and liberation for honest differences
of opinion is the saving grace of the
world. Without it your nearest
neighbor and dearest friend becomes
a traitor to his conscience and a
criminal in morals"

Vote for All Electors.
The voter is reminded that he must
mark the names Of thirteen electors OF
the party no favors for president. He
should make no mark before The name
OF Hughes and Fairbanks or Wilson
and Marshall. The voter does not di-
rectly vote for these gentlemen under
the electoral college system He votes
for the electors, who in turn cast their
votes for the president when the cleo
toral college meets. There seems to
be some Misrepresentation regarding
tho number of electors one votes for
Thirteen is the number Iowa votes for.
There are two at large and eleven 9TH
ers, one from each district. The voter
should not mark just the first two or
three and then feel that he has voted
for all thirteen. He must mark the
square in front Of each name on the
party he favors.
In order to vote for any candidate,
voters must mark the square before
the name Of that candidate.
The suggestion has been made that
the voter cast his ballot as early as
possible tomorrow. There are plenty
of men who can vote between Z
o'clock and $3.50 o'clock and these are
asked to make it special point to
vote in those hours. From $3.50
o'clock until the close, the clerks
and judges will be rushed with the
big list of factory and mill hands,
and men who are unable to vote at
any other time. Let the office men
and store proprietors and clerks see
to it that their vote is cast before the
afternoon is done, in order to leave
the tracks clear for the later voters.
1t would be of considerable assist
ance if the factory managers would
grant their men additional time at
noon or allow half an hour in the
evening for their voting.
Polls Close at ZOO p. m.
The polls will open in Keokuk at
700 a. m. and close at 700 p. m. The
polls in the country open an hour
later but ciUse at the same time. This
matter was looked up today in the
Iowa code and Section 1896 plainly
states that the polls shall open at Z
O'clock in the cities and an hour later
in districts where registration is not
required "but in all cases the polls
shall close at p. M"
Voters will please take note OF this
fact and remember that o'clock will
be the closing time.
The returns from the United States
and from the county, state and city
will be shown on The Gate City's bull
1etin service in front Of the office to-
morrow night. You are invited to
come and see the returns. They will
be flashed on screen and the United
Press service giving all OF the re-
turns at the earliest moment obtain
