may be attributed rather to the slack and defective organza

failure of wish among the citizens to elect him.
In the small towns Of Connecticut the Democratic organ

Bridgeport of the three leading Cities is the most poorly

THE ELECTION

a THIS MOMENT it seems that the Democratic party has
a majority in both House and Senate small majority
in each which may disappear later returns from
very close contests
The result will be enough prevent any consider
able impairment of the Presidents policies. Mr. Roosevelt
and the few who conducted campaign of bitter partisan
the government will not be influential in the next Con-
gress than they in the present Congress.
Senator Lodge who after Roosevelt the most active
in assaults upon the Presidents policy rebued in his
state by the choice of former Governor David Walsh as
senator Weeks
The Democratic cause was much aided by the victory of
Smith, who defeated Whitman for governor Smiths victory
bringing increase of Democrats to the Congressional
delegation from New York
part of the irony of politics that Roosevelt may have
contributed to make York democratic desire not to
have rival for the next Republican presidential nomination
was strong among New York admirers of the Colonel.
The result in Michigan is close It may appear later eth
that Henry Ford chosen SENATOR that he defeated
The tremendous vote he received encouraging without re-
gard to the material victory Mr. Ford resorted of the
usual election methods. He spent money His opponent
Newberry, backed by campaign fund of sze
and under investigation because Of the money he expended
to obtain his nomination.
may well happen that the right of Mr. Newberry to sit in
the Senate will be challenged because Of the gross of
money in his campaign.
The appeal of the President made directly to the nation
saved the day for the Democrats It the nation
had been well organized that it had striking vcorie
perhaps the greatest victories the history of the world The
American people proud of what had been DONE
But in the of organizing for many old things
had been disturbed ancient customs had been changed
the habits and methods the usages and profits of hundreds
thousands Of influential had been disturbed necessarlv
but not without causing friction.
In the laying of vast and unusual there was the
feeling in places that the burden might have been
wise distributed Price fixing control of retail merchandising
control of industry and the laying of government authority
in every of effort not accomplished without
ing enmity to the government
The pro-Geman VOTE which is small element in Amer
lean citizenship in localities throughout the country was cast
with solidarity against the Presidents party
Taking all the circumstances into consideration those
which made friends for the democracy and those that created
enmities there is little to complain of in the result
The President has what he wanted Congress constituted
so that it. will support the great projects necessary
bring the to successful conclusion necessary for the
period of reconstruction which must be managed such
that serious social industrial economic disturbance
will accompany it.

HAIR COMING OUT?

Dandruff causes a feverish irrita-
ton of the scalp, the hair roots
shrink, loosen and then the hair
comes out fast. To stop falling hair
at once and rid the scalp of every par
ticle of dandruff, get a small bottle
of Danderine at any drug store, pour
a little in your hand and rub it into
the scalp. After a few applications
the hair stops coming out and you
can't find any dandruff.-AdY.

For the fifth tine the voters of

anne dment. giving full suffrage to the
women of the state. According to re-
ports from Mrs, John L. Pv e state

for the first time IN the history of the

most popu ar issues ever put before
the peop'e.
1t reads as follows
"Every person resident of this
state who shall be Of the age of
twenty-one years and upward not
otherwise disqua flied. belonging to
ether Of the fol owing classes who
shall hove resided in the United

States.
Second: Persons of foreign
birth who have became natura lied
C tiZens conformably to the laws of
the United States upon the subject
of naturalization"
South Dakota citizens interested in
the passage of this amendment point
out that in both it's issues. which are
thus tied up together, the amendment
is patriotic measure.

Women Told Tiger
Is Real State Issue

at is an insult to patriotic Republi-
cans for any Democrat to assert that
IA order to support the government in
the prosecution Of the war ie is ntcns
sary to vote the Democratic ticket"
said Robert w. Bonyrge president of
the Republican c ub. addressing mem
bers Of the Women's Republican C ub
at meeting in the clubhouse 54 West
iortieth Street, yesterday afternoon.
"No state las done more to defeat the
cause of frigN tfulness and 'ku tur' than
the State of New York under the
leadership of Governor Whitman.
"Furthermorc he continued, "the
real issue in this campaign is whether
the pcopc Of this state consider that
Tammany Ha ! or the Republican party
should have control of state affairs.
No one can look at the records of the
present administration without realiz-
ing that every department has been
conducted capah y, efficiently and
economical 'ly. We know what chaos
reigned after The preceding admins
tration, when Tammany Hal was in
control. We also know that whatever
Pleasant things may be said Of "A

Expert After II Years Study
Says Bad Teeth Cause Insanity

DR. Henry A. Cotton. one of the
most eminent psyche ogists in the
country and director of the New Jer-
scy State Hospital for the Insane. in
n report made public by the New Jcr-
sey Board of Charities and Correc-
tions, tel s how he has successful ly
treated insanity by extracting infected
teeth, removing diseased tonsils and
other infections in the bodies of men,
ia ly affected patients.
DR.. Cotton's report is based on the
results of eleven years Of expert
mental work Because OF his sand n
in his field the report attracted much
attention from mental specia lists.
Several acknowledr it was a WE'LL
established fact that chronic infec-
tions caused mental disorders. How
ever, they questioned the suggestion
that DR.. Cotton's report meant the
dentists of the nat on wou d emptv
the insane asylums by extracting bad
teeth.
Bad Teeth Responsible For Ills
Cr. Cotton's report indicates that
bad teeth are responsible for good
share of the Is to which man is heir,
and he says he has isolated an organ
ism that originates in the teeth but
which spreads through the whole sys-
tom.
