.LAMONTE-EDGE
RACE IN DOUBT
Republicans Claim Edge and
Baird Win, But Macdonald
Says Democrats Lead
Bn specinl Correspondent.

Bu Special Correspondent.
TRENTON, Nov. e;-At noon today
1t was practically impossible to say
who the next two United States sena-
tors from New Jersey would be. Gov
ernor Edge and Senator Baird, on the
early returns. many Of which had
been based on the G.. o. z. sweep OF
two years ago, showed the executive
and the Camden man elected.
But later figures. including those
from Essex and Hudson, which appar-
emily gave LaMonte and perhaps Hen
messy rousing pluralities. offset these
figures and left the final result very
much in doubt.
The situation at noon was this: Gov
ernor Edge was in conference with
State Chairman Bugbee, State Treas
urer Read and other leaders and an
nounced that they had no statement
but might have one within a short
time. This indicated the feeling of
the Republicans. Partisans OF the
Governor claimed from fifteen to
twenty thousand for him, however.
On the other hand, Democratic
State Chairman Macdonald declared
his belief that the final returns would
show LaMonte and Hennessy both
victorious.
"Frankly 1 am not able to give def
mite and binding figures. In not one
county has the final vote been totaled.
Like the Republicans we are estimat-
ing. Allowing that the thousand for
LaMonte I'm Essex, which figure now
seems to be conservative and 1880
for LaMonte in Hudson 1t seems al
most a certainty that he will be sue
cessful in the state by n very small
margin Hennessy also seems to have
been elected on the figures that l row
have before me and the very worst the
Democrats will do in the Legislature
will be TO split the House of Assem-
bly with Republicans, 800. If later
returns show all three Democratic
candidates In Middlesex are elected
the Democrats will control the House.
The Democrats have elected their
congressman McGlennon. in the
eighth district over Ross; Minihan In
the ninth over r. Wayne Parker;
Scully in the third over Carson, and
Egan in the eleventh and McGlennon
in the twelfth were reelected.
Altogether yesterday was rather a
successful day and we have hopes that
later returns will make 1t even more
satisfactory" said Democratic Chair
man Macdonald today. o Democratic
assembly delegation won In Essex by
1000, to which were added twelve
more in Hudson with the usual Victo-
ries in Warren, Sussex and Hunter
don, giving the Democrats twenty
seven of the required thi-ty-one TO
control the lower branch OF leglsla-
ture.
Middlesex has apparently gone
Democratic If so. it means three
more, one short of required majority
The prediction Of Macdonald concern
ing a thirty-thirty house seems to be
well founded The Republicans and
Democrats appear to have split even
on the eight state senators.

1900 FLU CASES
Treated BY Doctor in One
Month.
Finds Tanlac to Be a Great
Remedy.

The following letter from DIR. J. w.
Sandlin, one of the most prominent
physicians of Southern Texas, has been
received at the Tanlac office and gives
indisputable evidence as to the value
of Tanlac as a reconstructive tonic for
persons who are recuperating from
the after effects of Spanish Influenza.
His letter follows: ~
80 Humble, Texas, Nov. 5, 1915
Dear Sir:
Just few lines in reference to Tan
lac. I have found your preparation
to be a wonderful reconstructive tonic
and in my opinion it has no equalsiH
its line. 1 have found it to be the
best tonic to be had TO puild up my
patients who have had Spanish In
fluenza 1 have treated within the
past month about 1,400 cases, and
have never been able to get sufficient
Tanlac to supply our people.
Yours very truly,
(Signed.) DIR. J. w. SANDLIN.
DIR. Sandlin not only enjoys a very
large practice as a physician, but he is
also a man of wide influence and
ranks as a leading citizen of the enter
prising little city of Humble. Texas.
AS a practicing physician of six
teen years experience DR.. Sandlin
was quick to recognize the superior
tonic properties of Tanlac over other
remedies and unhesitatingly and vol
unfairly gave Tanlac his unqualified
endorsements
Although the Influenza epidemic
greatly subsidized for a short time. it is
today breaking out anew in its very
worst form from practically one end
of the country to the orner and con-
tinues to claim it's victims by the
thousands.
According to late reports, over $780,
900 people have already died from the
disease.
Persons who have had Influenza are
oftentimes left in a very weakened,
rundown condition and unless the
greatest care is taken, both as to
habits and diet, serious complications
are apt to follow. If you are in this
condition nothing on earth will build
you up and strengthen you like Tanlac,
as is clearly proven by the expert
ence of DIR. Sandlin and other well
known physicians who are using it SO
successfully in their daily practice.
AS a reconstructive tonic and body
builder Tanlac is without an equal.
and contains the very elements needed
by the system to restore you to your
normal strength and weight and to
fortify your system against attack.
In connection with the Tan1ac
Treatment it is necessary to keep the
bowels open by taking Tanlac Laxative
Tablets, samples of which are included
with every bottle of Tanlac.
Tanlac is sold in Topeka by Tully-
Mcfarland Drug Co.-Adv.
