And the result of the election was
that the third-term candidate ran SO
far ahead of the second-term candi-
date as to make Mr.. Taft's electoral
vote absolutely pathetic.
There is never much to be gained
by discussing what might have been.
but there is one might have been
that has a bearing upon the present
prospects. 1t is this: If Theodore
Roosevelt had lived. there is every
reason in the world to believe that
he would have been the next nomi-
nee of his party for the Presidency.
Few political thinkers will fail to ac-
cept that hypothesis. And if Theo-
dore Roosevelt should have been the
Republican candidate in 1920. Wood
row Wilson would have been the
Democratic candidate just as certain
ly as politics is politics.

EVER SALIVATED By CALDMEL?
HORRIBLE

Calomel loses you a day! You
know what calomel is. It's mercury;
quicksilver. Calomel is dangerous.
1t crashes into sour bile like dyna-
mite, cramping and sickening you.
Calomel attacks the bones and should
Eever be put into your system.
When you feel bilious, sluggish,
constipated and all knocked out and
believe you need a dose Of dangerous
calomel just remember that your
druggist sells for few cents large
bottle Of Dodson's Liver Tone, which
is entirely vegetable and pleasant to
take and is perfect substitute for
Calomel. 1t is guaranteed to start
your liver without stirring you I'D
inside, and can not salivate.
Don't take calomel! 1t makes you
sick the next day; it loses you a days
work. DOdson's Liver Tone straight
ems you right UP and you feel great.
Give it to the children because it is
perfectly harmless and doesnot grippe.

TWO ITEMS DELAY

Continue Conferences on
Wage Dispute.

an agreement on these disputed points.
The two points to which the union
painters would not agree at the con-
ferences held with w. c. Ldller, com

Monday were that transportation and
board not to exceed $40 u week should
be paid for union men employed on

In the first instance, the union men
insist that the time shall o. be four
weeks instead of three and In the Sec

No Further Fear
By Health Men
From Typhoid

The typhoid fever situation in Mem
phis is now absolutely under control
and all danger Of the disease becoming
epidemic has passed. according to the
city health department.
The appearance OF the malndy this
spring was brougt about by the water
supply becoming contaminated by a

when there was no fever of the kind
reported In Memphis.
Now that the water supply Ia free
from contamination and the city health
department Is keeping a close watch on
the cases now under treatment, as well
as carrier cases, the department does
not expect a recurrence Of the disease
to any extent. Thousands we're vaccl-
mated with a%ntityphoid serum following
the breaking out of the disease and this,
physicians believe, will aid greatly in
preventing a spread Of the disease.
Many cases reported were Of Tho
