NEW YORK, November 6.-With few
issues having a bearing on the next
presidential campaign involved in to-
days off-year elections, there will be
little in the results to indicate which
way the national political wind is
blowing
Only one new member of the United
States Senate is to be elected. He
will come from Vermont to fill the
vacancy caused by the death of the
late Senator Dillingham;, whose term
would have expired in 1927. Porter

lard, democrat, a cousin of President
Coolidge, are candidates for the place.
The prohibition issue is involved. Dale

ing modification of the Volstead act.
Vermont normally is republican, and
political wiseacres say there are no
signs of an upheaval
Seven new representatives will be
elected to Congress, four in New York
and one each in Illinois, Vermont and
North Carolina. Six of the congress
Sional elections are to fill vacancies
caused by deaths, and one to fill the
place left vacant by the resignation
of Dale, Vermont.
In Illinois and North Carolina the
democratic candidates will have no
major party opposition. Slight inter
est has been manifest in the other
races, with the possible exception of
the twenty-fourth New York district
where a close vote is forecast.
Thomas A. Doyle, democrat. has
slight opposition in Illinois, where he
seeks the place left vacant by John
W. Rainey, democrat. In North Caro-
lima, Judge John A. Kerr is unopposed
to succeed the late Representative
Claude Kitchin. Ernest w. Gibson,
republican, and Burton +. Bailey,
democrat, are candidates in Vermont.

Important to all Women :.
 Readers of this Paper.

Thousands upon thousands of women have kidney or bladder trouble and never suspect it.
 Women's complaints often prove to be nothing else but kidney trouble. or the result of kidney or bladder disease.
 If the kidneys are not in a healthy condition, they may cause the other organs to become diseased.
 You may suffer pain in the back, headache and loss of ambition.
 Poor health makes you nervous, irritable and may be despondent; it makes any one so.
 But hundreds of women claim that pr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, by restoring health to the kidneys. proved to be just the remedy needed to overcome such conditions.
 Many send for a sample bottle to see what Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder medicine will do for them. By enclosing ten cents to pr. Kilmer. & Co, Bing- hamton, N. r., you may receive sample size bottle by Parcel Post. You can purchase medium and large size bottles at all drug stores.

COMING ATTRACTIONS
LAST NIGHT OF .SEAlED HEkRTS"

The feature attraction at the Coli scum for the last time tonight is Eugene O'Brien in "Sealed Hearts, the second Selznick picture in which this popular star has appeared.
 The Selznick star, who recently triumphed in "The Perfect Loyer,' is at his best in Sealed Hearts" which tells a tense and novel story of the eternal triangle. Mr. O'Brien is his usual gallant, manly self and is ably supported by a notable cast headed by Robert Edeson.
 Sealed Hearts is story of an adopted sons love for his father pretty young wife whose heart has grown hungry for the boyish love her aged husband cannot give her She returns the young nans love and when they can no longer hide their mutual devotion, the father be comes the pitiable prey of jealous rage.
 The complications that grow out of this unusual situation form the nucleus of a play both sensational and startling and thee rucial mo ments, as they occur, fairly leap from the screen.

GOTHENBURG, Jan. 12. The radiophone is becoming a serious menace to the safety of the herring off the Swedish Coast. The fisher men out al sea will be told from the Gothenburg radio central the exact location of the herring schools. This unique service which will tend to eliminate wasteful waiting on the part of fishermen, and will doubtless mean considerable increase in the catches of herring, is the newest commercial use to which the wire less telephone will be put in Swed- en. according to plans just com pleted.
 While merchant vessels have for some time been required by law to carry wireless equipment, the small CT vessels hitherto operated without systems of communication wi tn the land They will now receive weather reports. forecasts, and news, as well as the radio tips regarding the ap- poarance Of the herring.
 Plans are on foot to distribute news in Sweden by radio telephone Experiments arc being made from Stockholm as a center.
