figure in American municipal politics, is
in serious danger of losing his success
sion to the mayoralty of Chicago.
Thompson, Republican of colonial
lineage, is opposed in his campaign for
a fourth term by Anton ]. Cermak,
Democrat, born in 1873 near Prague
Bohemia, and brought to the coal min
ing town of Braidwood, Ill, by his
parents when he was less than q year
old,
Cermak has been in politics 80 years
in Chicago and for years has been
president of the Board of Cook County
Commissioners, an Office in the county
government similar to the municipal
mayoralty.
100000 Expected TO Vote.
There are approximately 100000
voters registered and when the smoke
has cleared away next Tuesday it is
estimated by the elections commission
ers that between 100000 and 100000
votes will have been cast.
Straw votes conducted by newspapers
consistently indicate 60 to "A per cent
balance for Cermak, and predictions by
Democratic headquarters say Cermak
will win by a minimum majority of
S00,000-that it will be Landslide"
ThompSon'S campaign managers,

son in his speeches, that they are in
a tough fight, say Big Bill will win,
but they are making no predictions of

Thompson won the nomination by
$4,000 votes, a minority candidate of
the party primary, after one of the
bitterest fights in the city's political
history.
He made unprintable charges against
his principal opponent, Municipal Judge
John H. Lyle. Lyle would have won,
according to numerous observers. IL he
had not fallen from his decision TO
ignore Thompsons abuse and delivered
a speech that took even the vitriolic
big Bfll's' breath away.
AS the election campaign got under
way two weeks ago Cermak announced
that he would not be drawn into a
contest of personal abuse with Thomp-
son, and unlike Lyle, he has stuck to it,
despite a TRADE of personalities by
Thompson.

Stubborn Coughs
Ended by Recipe,
Mixed at Home

Here is the famous old recipe which
millions of housewives have found to
be the most dependable means of break
ing up stubborn coughs due to colds. 1t
takes but moment to prepare, costs
little, and saves money, but it gives real
relief even for those dreaded coughs
that follow. severe cold epidemics.
From any druggist, get 211a ounces of
Plnex, pour it into pint bottle and fill
the bottle with plain granulated sugar
syrup or strained honey. Thus you make
a tul pint of better remedy than you
could buy ready-made for three times
the cost. 1t never spoils and tastes so
good that even children like it.
Not only does this simple mixture
soothe the intiamed throat membranes
with surprising ease, but also it is abb
sorbed into the blood. and acts directly
upon the bronchial tubes, thus aiding
the whole system in throwing off the
cough. 1t loosens the germ-laden
phiegm and eases chest soreness in a
way that is really astonishing.
Pinex is highly concentrated COM
pound of Norway Pine, containing the
active agent of creosote, in a refined,
palatable form. Nothing known in
medicine is more helpful in cases of
severe coughs and bronchial irritations.
Do not accept a substitute for Pinex.
1t Is guaranteed to give prompt relief
or money refunded.
