ELECTION TUESDAY
BUT INTEREST LAGS
COUNTY CAMPAIGN DOESN'T
EVEN GET STARTED-VOTE
TO BE LIGHT.

With the general election sched-
uled to be held next Tuesday, there
has been no noticeable change this
week from the unusual lack of in
terest displayed all fall in political
affairs.
The Spanish influenza epidemic
has put ban on all meetings, of
course, so the usual variety of cam
paigning has been dispensed with
this year, and all that any of the can
didates are doing is ''gumshoeing."
The fact that the Republican is the
only party which has complete
ticket in the county field has also
kept interest low.
There are four candidates on the
Democratic ticket, but neither they
nor the county committee have made
any strenuous campaign efforts, and
the same Is true of the Republican
nominees AMI committee. The So
cialists also have an almost complete
ticket in the field, but none of the
parties has kicked up enough racket
to be heard.
The result is that an unusually
light vote probably will be cast here
next Tuesday, considerably lighter
even than the light registration in the
city and county. and the same condi-
tions prevail throughout the state.
according to all reports.
So far as the state is concerned,
chief interest centers in the supreme
court election, in which a majority
of the court will be elected for the
first time for years. Local support
chiefly is being given to Justices
Mitchell, Main and Mount, the pres
ent members of the court who are
seeking reelection to the six-year
terms.
Next in order appear to be the con-
gressional elections. and the chief in
terest here centers in the fight be-
tween Congressman c. c. Dill, in
cumbent and Democratic nominee,
and former s ipreme Judge J. Stanley
Webster, the Republican candidate.

GERMANYS ALLIES
PLEAD FOR PEACE
TURKEY QUITS AND AUSTRIA
FRANTICAILY SEEKS ARMS.
TICE AFTER ATTACK.

War events-perhaps 1t would be
better to say reace events, or moves
toward peace-are happening rapidly
these days.
Turkey has quit, an armistice
amounting to actual surrender hav-
ing been concluded with the British
army the fore part of this week, and
Austria, after having sent several ap-
peals to this government, accepting
our peace terms and asking us to in
tercede for her, officially announces
that it's military officials have been
within the Italian lines to discuss the
terms of an armistice. Austria's sur
render is momentarily expected.
And the p'ilitary chieftains and
the supreme war council, composed
of the premiers of France, England
and Italy and Colonel House, repre-
senting President Wilson, have been
in session at Versailles. France, all
week, drafting the terms of the armis-
tice for which Germany asked. These
will be such, all reports agree, AZ to
amount to unconditional surrender.
Consequently press dispatches. from
the national capital Friday said that
official WASHINGTON is now beginning
to believe that the complete surren-
der of the ce ltral powers is drawing
nearer. ALREADY Mittel- Europa has
been crushed by the allied arms.
Austria's abject capitulation is ex-
pected momentarily in the wake Of
her frantic appeal for an armistics ON
the field of battle.
When this comes Germany will face
the world alone. How long she will
hold out is a matter OF conjecture,
but the authorities here believe not
more than six months.
M Germany. these authorities ~.
must be Weighing thoughtfully the
consequences Of the debacle Of, her
allies as she watts the call for surren-
der from the Versailles conference.
Austria's exit from the war, mill
tary authorities point out, will expose
the entire southern German frontier,
where morale is the weakest and
where feeling against Prussia is most
bitter.

KEEP LOOKING YOUNG.
It's Easy If You Know Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets

The secret of keeping young is to feel young - to do this. you must watch your liver and bowels = there's no need of having sallow complexion dark rings under your eyes -- pinples -- bilious look in your face - dull eyes with no sparkle. Your doctor will tell you ninety per cent of all sickness comes from in active bowels and liver.
 Dr. Edwards, well-known physician in Ohio, perfected a vegetable com. pound mixed with olive oil to act on the liver and bowels, which he gave to his patients for years.
 Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets, the substi- ute for calomel, are gentle in their action yet always effective. They bring about that exuberance of spirit, that natural buoyancy which should be enjoyed by everyone, by toning up the liver and clear ing the system of impurities. p4
