To Prevent Auto-Intoxication.

To insure good health, one must have
perfect elimination and positive expul-
sion of poisonous refuse from the sys-

poison finds its way through the entire
system. Foley Cathartic Tablets are
recommended for indigestion, constipa-

other conditions caused by disordered
digestion. They work gently but sure

SUFFS AND DRYS
BEATEN IN OHIO.
Apparent Majority Of 100000
Against WOmen-Wets
Lead by 8,278.

COLUMBUS, Ohio. Nov. 7.-Indications
at o'clock this morning are that the
voters rejected the proposal to grant
full suffrage to women. Returns from
3.243 precincts out Of 5.75s IN the State
show 2l7.663 votes in favor Of Presiden-
tial suffrage for women and 3ll.7S+
against.
AS the larger cities of the State were
heard from. the majority that the 'drys"
had established early in the evening
began to dwindle somewhat and the
prohibition election developed into what
appeared to be the closest race in years.
Both sides are claiming the victory.
With 4,s46 precincts heard from out
of 5,756, the vote stood: For prohibi-
ton, 3s4,042; against prohibition. 392,-
800. Cleveland appears wet" by about
10 900 and Cincinnati wet" by about
44,7OO.
Early returns from the mayoralty
election in Cleveland indicate that Harry
L. Davis (Republican) has been re-
elected by a plurality Of about $4,000.
Returns from $50 precincts in Gin
cinnati show John Calvin (Republican)
leading Alfred Allen. Democrat, by more
than 1000. and his election as Mayor
Is considered assured.

SHAM EXPOSED,
SAYS MURPHY
"It's Gratifying Victory for
People Over Campaign De-
ccptiOn and Fraud.'
STATEMENT ny CHARLES r.
MURPHY.

The result of the election Is a graft
flying victory for the people over cam
pa!gn deception and fraud 1t demon
strates that they are quick to detect the
difference between the true and the
sham.
The returns evidence the fact that un-
scrupulous newspapers no longer repre-
sent the opinion or sentiment Of the peo-
pie, that the latter do their own think
ing and refuse 10 be misled by m!srepre-
sentation or suppression OF the real
Issue.
The victory also shows tina; the iniec-
ton OF false issues failed in its design
to hide the scandal OF the Mitchell ad
m'n!stra !on-that the voters understood
me situation and that they recogn zed
the ability OF the Democratic party 10
reform present abuses and 10 give The
city an honest. economical and efficient
administration.
The Mitchell management OF the city
affa.rs has been repud!ated also by the
people because OF It's reactionary record
The Democratic ticket. in my judgm, :.
has been accepted because the Demo.
cratic candidates and Platform are pro-
gresS've and in accordance with the
worldwide tendency Of the day.
Al an interview last August ! said
that all the wealth OF the moneybund
behind the Republican fusion forces
and they had nearly million and "A half
TO spend-could not buy this election.
lamentable feature of the campaign
was the injection Of a serious issue by
defamtng some Of our most loyal citizens
In his hysterlcal attempt to abuse their
patriotism. 1t Is regrettable that prom!-
nent citizens like Mr. Roosevelt. Mr..
Hughes and Mr.. Root should have lent
their names to such contemplate cam
paign conspiracy.
1t must gladden. the American heart
that the great loyal American Citizen
ship OF New York city, the first city In
the land. believed, as do all fair minded
men. that Mr., Mitchel's assumption Of a
monopoly Of patriotism for the false Is
sues was designed to distract attention
from the shortcoming Of the present ad-
ministration.
