LEWIS EXTENDS
TALKLESS TOUR
Popularity of Candidate Forces Re-
arranging Of Plans to In
clude More Places.

Cairo, H., Oct. $50 tremen-
dously successful has been his
'speechless" and "meetingless' tour
of the state that United States Sen
atOr James Hamilton Lewis, in
stead Of returning to Chicago just
now, as was expected, decided to
spend a part Of the present week in
Egypt"
While unable to make any speech
es in the various cities he visited,
Senator Lewis has been able to
meet personally hundreds of citi-
Zens in every town in which he was
scheduled to appear, and so favor
ably has this form of campaigning
been proving that a delegation from
various cities in southern Illinois
who met the senator in East St
Louis insisted that he continue his
present tour for a longer period
Before returning to Chicago Sen
atOr Lewis, who spent Sunday in
Cairo, decided he would visit Car
bondale, Murphysboro, Harrisburg,
Benton and Bloomington before re-
turning to Chicago.
If the ban on public meetings is
lifted before the close of the cam
paign, Senator Lewis will, in all
probability, make three big address
es in Chicago-on the south, west
and north sides. MONDAY meetings
in the loop theatres may also be
held. These, however, depend en-
tirely on whether the ban on meet
ings is lifted
Among the messages which have
come to the Lewis camp from the
state are the following:
From L. E. Martin, editor of the
Courier: Senator Lew
is will carry Christian county by
l 200. This is more than double the
normal democratic majority"
From S. P. Preston of the Giles
pie News: The people OF this sec
ton of the country endorse the
stand of Senator Lewis IN his sup
port of President wilson"
c. ]. Lumpkin Of the Carlinviile
Inquirer told Senator Lewis that he
would sweep Macoupin county by
far more than the normal Demo-
cratic majority, as many of the Re
publicans of that county are for
him

News of the Day i'm Moline and East Moline

the people to give him an organ
ization bound TO support his acts
and policies has had a tremendous
effect in the outside counties of ILL
nois in solidifying the sentiment
for Senator Lewis.
Every man who approves the pol
icy of the president in connection
with the war has the argument
driven home that Senator Lewis
record is absolutely in accord with
the presidents policies
1t is not a question of two equal
forces, but of a contest between an
ayowed adversary of president
Wilson and Senator Lewis. In this
connection the attack Of Medill Nc
Cormick on the president made in
congress in August, 1917. is being
given wide publicity This attack
was published Aug 6. 1917, in the
Chicago Tribune under the head
ing: Wilson Granted Greater Pow
ers Than Any King"
Senator Lewis statement to the
voters downstate are as follows:
THE people have observed my
record. They know that | have
fought to promote the interests of
America in this war They know
that l have at heart the interests of
every American son and brother in
the victorious army and navy of
the United States. I have stood by
them and for them. | have been
neither partisan nor politician in
so doing, but have sought to do my
duty as the representative of the
people Of Illinois without regard to
party.
1T is deeply gratifying to me
that so many citizens who are as
sOCiated with parties which I have
fought and which have fought me
now come with positive assurances
of support. They accept the view
shared by public spirited people
the state and nation
that the war is not a political issue
Let me repeat what I said in nv
very recent address that this great
should have the
same aids during the next two
years to whom has been confded
its policies and who are heartily in
support of these policies"

WHAT'S THE REASON?
Many Madison People i'm Poor Health
Without Knowing the Cause.

There are scores OF people who
drag out a miserable existence with
out realizing the cause of their suf-
fering. Day after day they are rack
ed with backache and headache; suf-
fer from nervousness, dizziness,
weakness, languor and depression.
Perhaps the kidneys have fallen be-
hind in their work Of filtering the
blood and that may be the root of the
trouble. Look to your kidneys, as
sist them in their work-give them
the help they need. You can use no
more highly recommended remedy
than Doan's Kidney Pills-endrosed
by people all over the country and by
your neighbors In Madison.
John A. Norton, Egan avenue,
Madison, says: MY kidneys trou-
bled me a lot. l had severe backache
and over my kidneys that
made 1t hard for me to bend over or
lift anything. My kidneys acted ir-
regularly. I used Doan's Kidney
Pills and they soon fixed my kidneys
up In good shape and stopped the
aches and pains in my back"

new METHOD
TO BRING LANDLORDS AND TEN.
ANTS TOGETHER.

Pierre, Aug. 26.-The immigra-
ton commissioner has issued a call
to county agents to report the num-
Der of tenants wanted for farms next
year throughout South Dakota. This
is considered an important step,
which will expedite crop possibilities
next year in as much as the matter of
renting farms a thus be pretty well
settled through the winter, both to
the better satisfaction of owners as
well as renters, in addition to get
ting earlier settlement in the spring
where moving of tenants is consider
ed. The immigration department
will act as an information bureau
along this line this fall and winter,
to in every way help farmers to find
places to rem and to supply renters
to owners who wish to lease their
lands. Owners and renters arc urg-
ed to see their county agent this fall
along this line, so that they may all
be benefited by the cooperative in
formation.

General Pershing has said: 1T is

that weighs upon the Salvation Army
and not by any means a misguided eff
fort or an ambition simply to be ac-
tive. Among the very first to enter
upon war work and the very last to
ask for a war fund (and comparative
ly a small one), the Salvation Army
has earned and richly deserves the
hearty support of all America"

Rowland, Geo. III. Waskey and John

Promptly at $3.50 o'clock on the
morning of August 81 an army of

AT THE FRONT
MOODY COUNTY YOUNG LADY
TELLS Of BRAVERY.

Flandreau, Aug. 26.-"You can't
Imagine the bravery of the boys"
Thus writes Miss May Malamphy, a
Iyoung woman of Moody county who
departed some months ago for the
territory near the battle front in
American hospital. In a letter just
received by her mother she describes
her duties and refers to several in
stances of pluck on the part of
wounded Yanks. She writes:
we are mighty busy and mighty
glad to be. We have all been anx-
ious to do our bit, and now we have
the opportunity. 1t is a wonderful
way they manage the work and ac-
complish SO much. The last few
days we have done exactly what had
dreamed of doing in war time. You
can't imagine the bravery of the
boys. One boy, waking up from
ether, seeing his arm gone, laughed
and said:
Well. I've got that much less 20

good he will motor; IL the sky is
clear we hear the boche. They
haven't scared us yet. We are SO
busy, and IL surely is a pleasure to
be able to do something to relieve
the suffering of our boys. We surely
find use for the supplies the Red
Cross sends over. We bless the Red
Cross all day long. Some of the boys
are SO young and they are such fine
fellows.
The boys are SO plucky and anx-
ious to get back to the front. They
are CEN to base hospitals from here.
They only remain here from "a to

have Red Cross cars to take them
from here that are excellently equip

are wounded. I have helped some in
