FLU EPIDEMIC AGAIN RAGING THROUGH
COUNTRY.
PEOPLE WHO ARE LISTLESS AND
RUN DOWN, MORE APT TO
SUCCUMB THAN HEALTHY
PERSONS.


It's dangerous to feel listleSs. 1t
means that you are run down and
have lazy liver, with poison in
the blood. 1t means that you are
not in shape to resist the flu germs.
And flu germs are everywhere.
You breath them all the time. Per-
sons with whom you associate carry
the germs to you, and if you are not
in good health you will contract
the disease.
Pepsotone will build you up. The
handy tablets are full of new energy
for you. They will move all i'm
purities from the system. They
will purify the blood, and pure
blood can resist the attack of flu
germs.
The Csc. package of Pepsotone is
an investment for better heafth-an
investment well worth making. Your
druggist has supply and will be
glad to furnish you with Pepsotone.

DEMOCRATS WILL LOSE
WYOMING TO HARDING

CHEYENNE, Wyo.. October 80 (Spe-
cia).-Senator Harding will carry
Wyoming by majority of somewhere
between 5000 and $4,000 votes out of
the total Of approximately 10000 cast
in this state next Tuesday. This is
the opinion of men who have been
reading the signs of the times and
who believe they, have read those
signs Alright.
In 1904 Theodore Roosevelt swept
the prairies and the mountainsides
clean, carrying the state by the then
unprecedented majority of 1900. In
1908 Taft's majority was cut to 5000,
and by 1912 the swing of the pendu-
lum away from the republican party
had gone so far as to accord Wilson
a victory of 700 votes. In 1916 the
pendulum was still on the democratic
side, and the President pulled through
with 5000 ballots to spare.
But in the past four years there has
been tremendous change. A large
share of the people of Wyoming are
tired of the presnt administration and
seek a change; the stockmen and
their allied interests-these allies in
cluding thousands of voters-are dis
couraged over the slump in the wool
market, and believe that the slump
was due to the lack Of a protective
tariff; and something like three
fourths of the people are satisfied
with prohibition and do not wish any
change such as, as they believe Gov.
Cox and democratic Congress would
attempt to effect. F. L. BABCOCK.

The Republicans Dispute.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, October so
(SpeciaD.-The political campaign
winds up with the republicans un-
usually enthusiastic, but the indi-
cations are that Tennessee will be
found in the democratic column as
heretofore. though there is more talk
of mixed tickets being voted in this
election than in any since 1896
Republican leaders here do not offer
figures on the race for President
merely claiming that Harding has a
good chance of carrying the state.
but they assert they will elect their
gubernatorial candidate by 10000 or
more votes.
Democratic leaders estimate the
state viii go for Cox and Roosevelt
by something like. 10000 votes and
that Gov. a. II. Roberts will be re-
elected by not less than 10000 votes.
Business men generally talk of vot-
ing for Harding and Roberts. Many
negroes will vote for Harding, but
will support Roberts for governor on
the strength of his vigorous efforts
to put an end to lynching. On the
other hand, the labor element will
vote for Cox for President and for
Taylor for governor Many farmers
viii vote for Cox for President but
against Roberts for governor, owing
to opposition to the new tax laws
passed during his administra ton, and
of which he stands sponsor.
In the races for Congress only two
are occasioning interest. Judge John
A. Moon of Chattanooga, a democrat,
may have hard race in the third
district. with Joe Brown of Chatta-
nooga, republican nominee. In the
eighth district, Capt. Gordon Brown

Savannah.
Former Lieut.. Carroll Reece, who
defeated Sam r. Sells for renomina-
ton by the republicans in the first

sentative j. Will Taylor, republican,
will be reelected in the second dis

forecast:
"If on November 2 we have a fair
day the republican majority will
equal, if not exceed, that of Septem-
Der 13. I think it entirely safe to
put the majority at $4,000. The voters
of the state are saying little now, but
they have made up their minds to

chairman of the democratic state
committee, said today:

that the democratic vote viii be
somewhat larger than in the Septem-
Der election"
Mrs. Guy P. Gannett of Augusta. the
chairman of the woman's advisory
committee of the republican state
committee, today made the following
election forecast:
IF it is a good, pleasant day on
November there will, I believe, be
a larger woman vote than at the
September election. I believe that
10 per cent of the women in Maize
who will go to the polls on November 2
will vote the republican, ticket"
Mrs. William r. Pattangall of
Augusta, the member from Maine of
the woman's division of the demo-
cratic national committee. said today:
Il think that the women of demo-
cratic tendencies will be better or
ganized for the November election
than they were for the Sept en- Der
election, and that more women will
vote the democratic ticket in the ma
tional election next Tuesday than
they did in the election of September

two more. The campaign in the Key

Such strenuous campaigns have been

they would gain some seats. In. three
