And now at this late hour says
the defeated candidate to Presi
dent Wilson. excuse me. 1 am
late in sending in my congratula
tions, but because the election was
close I hoped I would win, and
you lose, so I have waited as long
as there was a shred of hope, but
allow me :"
California, refuses to certify the
election, and will not issue certi
ficates to presidential electors, be
cause he says that precinct No. 3,
of Marysville, an insignificant
borough, and the county of Or
ange, have been slightly irregular
in the form of sending in their of
ficial returns.
It is stated that this may be a
serious matter, and even invalid
ate the election of President Wil
son, though Mr. O. K. Cushing,
chairman of the democratic state
central committee, does not attach
much importance to it, neverthe
less it is safe to predict thnt 'Lore
is danger in this attitude of the
state secretary, and none at this
writing can prophecy the out
come, for the reepublicans are
wily, and will not be ousted with
out a great struggle.

So the republicans are at it
again in Buncombe county in de
manding that the canvassing
board should certify the returns
of November 9th, in other words,
without further argument, declare
Britt, the republican candidate e-
lected and not Weaver, whom they
say has won.
What may be the effect on the!
war by the death of Austria's
King is not easy to tell at present.
French authorities say that it will I
not have any appreciable effect,
at the same time it may, and this
may not unlikely come through
the wife of Archduke Charles, the
heir apparent, since she is Italian,
and has lived most of her life in
Rome. Italy is at this time at war
with Austria so it is a tangled
thread which needs much unravel-

AN OLD MAN'S STOMACH
As we grow older and less active, less
and less food is required to meet the
demands of our bodies. If too much is
habitually taken, the stomach will re
bel. When a man reaches the advan
ced age of 85 or 90 you will find that
he is a light eater. Be as careful as
you will, however, you will occasional
ly eat more than you should and will
feel the need of Chamberlain's Tablets
to correct the disorder. These tablets
do not contain pepsin, but strengthen
the stomach and enable it to perform
its functions naturally. They also
cause a gentle movement of the bowels.
MRS. P. O. O. STUCHELL TELLS
HOW SHE CURED HER SON OF A
COLD.
"When my son Ellis was sick with a
cold last winter I gave him Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy. It helped him
at once and quickly broke up his cold, ' '
writes Mrs. P. O. Stuehell, Homer City,
Pa. This remedy has been in use for
many years. Its good qualities have
been fully proven by many thousands
of people. It is pleasant and safe to
take.
