HOMER S. CUMMINGS ON
FT-R00SEvELT PLEA
Says G. o. P. Is Trying to Impair
Presidents Leadership at
Home and Abroad.

Homer S. Cummings, acting chairman
Of the democratic national committee
issued a statement last night as fol-
lows:
"The joint appeal issued by former
Presidents Roosevelt and Taft removes
all possible doubt as to the position of
the leaders Of the republican organiza-
ton. They are against the President
and his policies. They desire to limit
his influence and curb his power. They
seek to impair the effectiveness Of hi
leadership both at home and abroad
Extraordinary as his attitude may
be. in view Of the high exigencies of the
present international situation, it is
nevertheless frankly avowed and open
ly advocated. The friends of the Presi-
dent accept the issue thus presented
with no misgivings as to the ultimate
outcome.
1.-THE document itself is pitifully weak
and its effect is lessened by its fiagran'
Misrepresentation of the Presidents ap-
peal and by the foolish assertion that
Our country's cause was saved by this
republican minority
II imagine that the allusion to th'
aircraft expenditures would have beer
omitted altogether If the joint author
had awaited publication Of the Hughe:
report"

Maryland Situation.

No state officers will be elected in
Maryland and the campaign activities
of both parties have been aimed at
gaining seats in the lower house of Con-
gress.
There is no state election in West
Virginia and the campaign there has
pivoted on the choice of a United States
senator. Clarence w. Watson, demo-
crat, a. former member of the upper
house, is opposed by Davis Elkins, jr.,
q son Of the former republican senator.
Mr.. Elkins is a major in the American
expeditionary forces.
The republicans in Connecticut have
given most of their efforts to the con-
gressional elections. Prohibition is the
principal state issue in Vermont.
New Jersey is chiefly interested in the
choice of United States senators. The
woman suffragists of the state have
waged a bitter campaign against David
Baird, republican, who is a candidate
for the short term.

Campaigns Leading in Interest.
Probably the most interesting of
the senatorial campaigns are the
Michigan and Illinois contests. The
democrats in Michigan took Henry
Ford as their candidate for United
States senator aud. as Mr.. Ford was
recognized as a republican, invited
the republicans to indorse him. The
republicans baked violently at this
Commander Newberry, now in the
naval reserve, and opened up the
fight on straight party lines.
The republicans attacked Henry
Ford upon his alleged pacifist record
land utterances holding him as un-
acceptable to them in passing upon
the world peace treaty. In the clos
ing days of the campaign they sought
lalso to create sentiment adverse to
him out of the findings of Hughes In

Lewis, is running for reelection on
the democratic ticket, interest was
whetted in the campaign by the Pres

FOR COLDS AND GRIPPE.
 DOCTORS FIND REMEDY N

Physicians and druggists are elated over the fact that they have at last found a genuine and dependable reme- dy for colds, sore throat, influenza and la grippe. For years they have depended upon the old style calomel. which is certainly fine, but unfortu- rately many people would not take it because of it's nauseating and dan- gerous qualities.
 Now that the pharmaceutical chem ists have perfected nausealess calo- mel, called 'Calotabs", whose medici- hal virtures are vastly improved, the doctors and druggists are claiming that Calotabs are the ideal remedy to abort cold over night and cut short an attack of sore throat, In fluenza or la rgippe They are also finding it most effective as the first step in the treatment of pneumonia.
 One CalOtab on the tongue at bed time with a swallow of water-that's all. No salts, no nausea nor the slightest interference with your eat ing or your work and pleasure. The next morning your cold has vanish ed and your whole system is purifi- ed and refreshed. Calotabs are sold only in original sealed packages: price thirty-five cents. Your drug gists recommends and guarantees them by refunding the price if you are not delighted.-advt.
