The ! farmers are so prosperous and busy that | there may be difficul(y in getting them ! to come out and vote. They are almost £ imously in_favor_of.

In the cities there is the same indifference to political ques- tions. ar¢ good. If there is to be any great change in the Republican votes to the Democrats in these centers of popujation it-will be because of the coal strike and the trust question. .t the same time s praising a Républican Pres- settling the coal strike and Governor Odell for the attitude ed when he insisted that Presi- should arbitrate. The Republicans throughout the State ident fo: are united and the troubles that existed | in_half a dozen localities at the opening of the camgaign a week ago have either been adjusied or are in process of ad- justment. To put the. situation briefly, unless the farmers should absolutely re- fuse to vote on election day and unless ties like Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Utica, Albany and Troy should furnish health, -weak or sickly and--en eimost-sclid- labor -vete against the Republican ticket, Odell should-be able to come to the Hariem bridge with a plu- rality approximating 115,00. This would {'mean that in order t6 win Coler would have to poll enough votes in the city of Greater New York to uvercome that plu- ral which is very doubtful. That is the situation in a nutshell.

Everybody is at work and wages | PENNSYL VA/NIA MAY BE WON BY EITHER PARTY HILADELPHTA, Oct. 25.—The vote of Pennsylvania is apparently”so evenly divided that a slight change | of sentiment may give the victory to the Republicans or Democrats. This condition is due principally to the gen- erally apathetic state of Republicans and the unusual activity of the Democrats, [who feel morally sure of putting Patti- son in the gubernatorial chair to succesd Stone. At the outset of the campaign and especially when the Republican nom- inee for Governor, Samuel W. Penny- packer, retired from the Judgeship to stump “the State, the Republicans were sanguine ef success and predicted the Judge's election by 200,000 plurality. Since then there -has -been a modifica- tion of the opinion, owing to the labor troubles in the anthracite region and the desire of the people to sever the shackles that bind them to ‘‘bossism.” : Authentic reports from the country dis- tricts which usually vote the Republican ticket . without question indicate that the strike has raised questions of doubt in the minds of heretofore stalwart Repub- licans as to the advisability of supporting the machine in what is termed an “off branches. In the State Senate the Re-'| publicans will probably lose the Sixth District in Kings County, the Twenty- second in Westchester and the Forty- fourth in Monroe. These changes will re- duce the Republican mayority in the up- per branch of the Legislature from 20 to 14. In the Assembly the Republicans will probably lose seats for the Fourth and Sixth districts in Erle, the Sixth and Thirteenth in Kings, the Third in Mon- 1DICK PREDICTS roe, the Eighth and Ninth in New York, the First in Oneida, the Second in Rens- selaer and in Richmond.

The style of advertising Pe- runa is imitated. Ail this is done to reap some of the benefits to which Peruna is so justly eatitled. Incidentally Peruna is injured by cheap imitations, and yet it is a great compli- ment to Peruna to have such a host of imitators. Why do they single out Pe- runa from among the proprietary medi- cines? Simply because Peruna is the greatest seller in the world. Everybody knows this. To successfully palm off an imitation of Peruna even for a short time is sure to be a money making scheme, but no one who has ever taken Peruna can be fooled on these imitations. No conscien- tious druggist would sell one of them. Every purchaser should look carefully at each package of Peruna he buys, to_be sure that he is getting only genuine Pe- runa. If you do not deriye prompt and satis- factory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving & full statement of your case, and he will be pleased to give you his valuable ad- vice gratis.
