Want LABOR VOTE.
Republican Chiefs Start. New
Campaign Drive.
Counter Offensive to Gompers'
Efforts to "ThrOw" Unions.

s. Marion. o., Sept 21.-The Repub-
lican drive to win organized labor over
to Sen. Warren G. Harding was fully
under way today.
A number of labor men have been
in Marion for conferences with the
candidate. Each has gone awayswith
the announcement that he intends to
work for election of the Republican
national ticket This apparently was
the Republican counter offensive
against the efforts of Samuel Com
pers, president of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, to win the labor vote
for Governor Cox.
AS some labor leaders now outline
their estimate of the situation to Sen
ator Harding, labor is not SO dissatis-
fled with its present condition as it
is alarmed over what may come.
II find that miners who are Re-
publicans are going to support Hard
ing and those who are Democrats will
support Cox" said ". ]. James, rep
of Illinois. He has been on the stump
for Harding.
president Gompers' efforts to de-
liver the labor vote to the Democratic
ticket will fail just as it always has
failed. The Democratic effort to con-
troll the labor vote and particularly
the miners has resulted in failure be-
cause the working men have studied
the records. of the two parties and the
Republican candidates and program
have made such an appeal that the
Democratic propaganda has failed
completely"

SIMPLE WAY TO GET
RID OF BLACKHEADS

There is one simple; safe and sure way
that never fails to get rid of blackheads
and that is to dissolve them.
To do this get two ounces OF calonite
powder from any drug store-sprinkle a
little on a hot, wet sponge-rub over the
blackheads briskIy-wash the parts and
you will be surprised how the bIackheads
have disappeared. Big blackheads, little
blackheads, no matter where they are,
simply dissolve and disappear, leaving the
parts without any mark whatever. Black
heads are simply a mixture of dust and
dirt and secretions from the body that
form in the pores of the skin. Pinching
and squeezing only cause irritation, make
large pores and do not get them ont after
they become hard. The calonite powder
and the water simply dissolve the black
heads so they wash right out. leaving the
pores free and clean and in their natural
condition. Anyone troubled with these I'M
slightly blemishes should certainly try this
simple methOd.-Adv.

HIS FORTIETH DAY
Sim Fein Mayor Equals Worlds
Fasting Record.
MaeSwiney Still Able to Sit Up
and Read News.

London, Sept. 21.-The fortieth day
Of fasting for Lord Mayor MacSwiney
began today with little change in his
condition. Sim Fem bulletins again
reported him exceedingly weak.
Sim Fem leaders were indignant at
reports that they had hidden the real
condition of the hunger strike. The
London Eevning News said MacSwiney
was surprisingly well but sulky and
disinclined to answer questions. The
News said the mayor was able to sit
up and to assist in his ablutieHs and
read the newspapers interestedly.
Rumors of secret feeding were re-
vived as foes and supporters alike
marveled at MacSwiney's condition.
Friends hotly declared water and med
icine to prevent stomach pains were
all that passed his lips.
The Irish office expected to send out
an appeal today to Sim Fem church
men and friends of the various Irish
hunger strikers, urging the hungry
prisoners to eat.
The office argued the men had
proven adequately the depth Of their
convictions and the amount of suffer-
ing they would endure. There is no
chance for release, the statement said,
and the prisoners ceath would mean
the loss of whatever aid they might
give theirrcause.

Chicago, Ill. Sept. 21.-1The Tribune:
GRAIN: While sentiment after the close
was much less bearish on corn than of
late, there was a LACK of confidence on the
part of many leading local traders who
covered during the day. The active buy
ing of bids reflected. The covering move
ment yesterday was the largest on the de-
cline. The ease with which the grain was
obtained was regarded by leading bears
as indicating the market had not reached
the bottom. Continued liberal offerings
of old corn from the country, as well as
favorable weather for maturing the crop
was regarded as much in their favor.
The four leading winter wheat markets
have a stock of only 3,945, 600 bushels out
Of a total visible of 24.SS5, 600 bushels.
Last year they had 3S,639000 bushels or
about half of the total visible. Bulls
believed in the end prices will be ma
terially higher.
Contract stock of corn In public eleva-
tors in Chicago increased 63,0O0 bushels last
week and are 10000 bushels. Stocks of
contract oats increased 2SS 200 bushels and
are So, 900 bushels.
