BEAM THE ELECTION. mi. l;J-i-- , i . . , me camiiuat.es ior omce in county, State and Nation are before the vot ers. ; SrH The voter is the man Tuesday. It is up to him. The campaign has been different from any ever held. The usu al speakings were not held, the ap peals being made through the news papers and by letter and in person. There are as usual all kinds of elec tion predictions on the eve of election, but very few predictions are ever correct, only the ballot can tell the correct tale. The New York Herald always makes an election prediction Sunady before election, but of late years, its predictions fail. This year the Her ald's political canvass of the country indicates that in the elections to be held next Tuesday the democrats will retain control of the senate by a ma jonty of four, and the republicans will gain control of the house of rep- - resentatives by a majority of 23. The democrats at present have a majority of eight in the senate, and they now control the house by a plurality of seven. The next Congress as fore - shadowed by the Herald's representa tives from every state and congres sional district, will stand as follows Senate Democrats, 60; Republicans, 4b. House Democrats, 206; Repub licans, 229. The present Congress is made up as follows: Senate Demo crats, 52; Republicans, 44. House Democrats, 214; Republicans, 207; in dependent, 7. There are seven va cancies, due to death or resignation, in the present house. The total mem bership of the senate is 96 and the house 435. ' Both parties are claiming victory in Congressional election. Homer S. Cummings, acting chair man of the democratic national com mittee, predicted that the democratic majority in the senate would be in creased by the vote to be taken in 40 senatorial contests and that the dem- vcrniB wouiu maKo gams in tnc House of from 30 to 60 members. Republicans will control the next house by a majority of 25 members, Representative Fess, of Ohio, chair man or the national republican con gressional committee, has de- clared. While no formal statement was issued by the republicans as to the senatorial contests, leaders of the party predicted that the next senate would be republican by a safe margin. "Our advices from eveiy state point to a sweeping democratic victory," said the statement issued by Chair man Cummings. "The democratic majority in the next senate will be increased and we will control the house by a substantial majority. Re liable estimates of net gains by the democrats range from 30 to 60. The tide is running strongly in our favor, especially m the middle west and iarj western states, with a pronounced drift .toward democratic candidates in every state." Everywhere the voter is expected to give a Democratic majority, as a vote cf confidence in President Wil son, just as the people have backed all of our presidents during a war, and this is as it should be. : This issue of the News will be read by many before the election is over, others will read it after they have voted. All should do their duty to their country for the result of thu balloting will be watched with us much interest in Europe as at home; for under the leadership of President Wilson, America has taken the lead among the nations in determining the principle whic hare to guide the des tiny cf mankind. Put one over for the children by voting for the school amendment. Dornocrat3 work and vote for the entire Democratic ticket County, State and Congressional. Endorse Democracy, thus giving President Wilson a vote of confidence. The ten counties in this Congres sional district last election gave con gressman Webb a majority of 2,474. The vote in 1916 was for Webb and Greene by counties as follows, Webb vote first and Greene vote second: Avery, 363 and 1,185; Burke, 1,583 and 1,476; Catawba, 2,532 and ,2, 683; Cleveland, 2,713 and 1,503; Gas ton, 2,985 and 2,562; Lincoln, 1,498 and 1,399; Madison, 991 and 1,943; Mecklenburg, 4,489 ar.d 1,212; Mitch ell, 432 irnd 1,318; Yancey, 1,264 and 1,100. FOLLOWING OUR BOYS OVER THERE. Let us follow one single soldier on the long road that leads from his front door to far-away France and see how these seven organisations join hands to form a great chain of helpfulness all the way. Stepping Aboard the Train. He steps aboard a troop train that is to carry him to the cantonments. A long, lonesome ride, full of home sick thoughts ;but perhaps there is n band furnished by the Jewish Welfare League or the War Camp Community Service to speed him on his way, and on the train are friends .whom he had not expected a Y. M. C. A. or a K. of C. secretary a big, friendly fellow who has traveled - for months with other boys just like him, and knows how to help. Arriving at the Cantonment. I At. t.hn cantonments the evidence that the folks back home are think ing of him lies thick on every sid;. Here the 750 great homey huts of the K. of C. the Jewish Welfare Boar 1, the Salvation Army, and the Y. as the soldiers speak of it. Places where he can write letters heme, play games at night, witness motion-pictur; shows, hear helpful lectures, attend church service ,arV keep up with his studies under the direction of the best college professors and teachers in the country. Here also are tne so noste- houses of the X. W. a. wnerc mow er and sister ana swecuitun n;u. make headquarters when tney visit. In all these builidngs are Drancn libraries provided by the American Library Association, anu niieu wan books and magazines. In 43 of the large camps and several hundred smaller ones are library buildings, besides, with trained librarians and comfortable reading rooms. Agreements to Prevent Hut Duplica tion. Tn the lare-cr camps and canton ments thp soldier will find houses of all five of the camp agencies the Y. M. C. A.. Y . W. C. A.. K. ot U.. Jew ish Welfare Board, and solvation at mv and all full at every hour of the dav and evening. In the smaller camps and naval stations the organi zations have working agreements which prevent duplication. In such a camp there will frequently be only one hut, with its doors open to all the boys alike. The so dier s nurcn. To it on Saturdays and Sundays come the prominent preachers, Driest? and rabbis to conduct worship, for the hut is the soldier's church and syna gogue. There he may have one or the more than 3,000,000 copies of the ScriDtures that have been supplied by these ae-encies. or a half dozen help ful, inspiring booklets on a variety of subjects. - The Soldier's Gymnasium. ' Basketball and other indoor base ball are nlaved in the hut .under th-: direction Of one of the 2,000 trained physical directors; for the hut is the soldier's gymnasium. Two motion pictures are furnished on the average each week, and prominent actors and actresses as well as lecturers, car toonists, and readers are brought out from the neighboring cities, their ex penses paid by the organization in charge. The Soldier's College Classes in French, mathematics history and business practice are held regularly; for the hut is the soldier's college also; and hundreds ot thous ands of boys who are eager that these warfare years shall be years of prog ress are keeping in touch with the'r studies at night. In short, the soldier finds that all the agencies that made life most pleasant and worthwhile in peace times are represented under the friendly roof of the hut the church, the school, the gymnasium, the club, the theater, the lecture hall, and the motion picture theater. - -; SECTIONALISM REVIVED. It is reported that Republican pol iticians are telling the farmers that President Wilson has fixed the price oi cotton so, that it-wilt not ,teim over 31 cents. The price of cotton has not been fixed at all, as those who have "pnt out the word" know. As a matter of fact, in the West the Re publicans are using this Very fact to gain votes. They tell the Western wheat grower that while the price of wheat has been nxed the price of cot ton has not, which is a discrimination against the Western farmer in favor of the Southern farmer. In fact all through the North and West, the Republican appeal is i to sectionalism. It is charged that the South is running the country and that other sections are discriminated against; that the war tax falls heav iest on the North and West In soma instances they have even tried to cap italize the casualty list by claiming that, it shows a greater number of casualties among soldiers from the North and West, evidence, that men from that section are doing most o the fighting. In their desperation to get control of Congress, there is I linrillv anv limit, trt wbirb IIiha P. pubiican politicians will not go. Statesville Landmark j REPUBLICAN TACTICS. . The Raleigh Times, advertent tj tho nature of tactics being pursued by the Republican campaign manag ers in North Carolina, makes this il luminating comment: "John More head's advertisement charging frauds enacted under the absentee voters' lav is a fair sample of the unintelli gent leadership which has character ized the present generation of his paV ty in thw State. Every two yoar3 sees the same old farce enacted: the Republicans start their campaign by assuming all the virtues, but profess ing their belief in the innate honesty and decency of the Rank-an'-FJe Democrats; the campaign ends witn wholesale charges of fraud and cor ruption brought against all Demo crats. The result is ever the same end will continue to be the same until the cause no brains be removed." It is only fair to say that this Re publican persistance in reflecting on the intelligence of the people of North Carolina is the maintained policy of Mr. Marion Butler, who maps out the work fcr his lieutenants This is but another "old-time Republican farce," as The Times calls it, only this year it has broadened out to the inclusion of the National party managers, as witness the deception they are at tempting in the case of wheat and cotton price-fixing, and Ofce Roosevelt undertaking to undermine the Admin istration of the country through par tisan appeal. The Republicans are a long time finding out that the people are not to be fooled. Charlotte Observer.. SUBSCRIPTIONS TO THE FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN NEARLY SEVEN BILLIONS Washington, Nov. l.Despite peace talk and influenza, American citizens have responded for a fourth time to the government's appeal for war with more than was asked. Total subscriptions of $666,416,300 from more than 21,000,000 individuals is the record of the fourth Liberty loan, as announced today by the treasury. based on careful estimates b ythe 1 federal reserve banks. The entire $866,416,300 over-subscription will be accepted and applied to reducing the sine of the fifth loan to be offered in the spring. - Final figures may send the fourth loan total even higher. BEWARE OF "SURE CURES FOR THE "FLU." Use cf of vaccines in combatting or treating Spanish influenza has not gone beyond the experimental stage so far as the United States public health service has been able to learn. In a statement the public health ser vice warned the public against anv of the 'sure cures' being advocated for the malady, which, according to reports, is rapidly subsiding in all army camps and is showing a lessen ing incidence among the civilian pop ulation in many states. "It must be remembered," said Sur geon General Blue, "that several dif ferent vaccines are now being tried. The reports so far received, however, do not permit any conclusion whatso ever regarding the efficacy cf these vaccines or their relative merits. . "The health service urges the pub lic to remember that there is as ye: no specific cure for influenza. The chief reliance must be on medical at tention, good nursing, fresh air, nti tritious food, plenty of water am cheerful surroundings." WHAT A NOTED SURGEON i THINKS OF WHISKEY Dr. Howard A. Kelly, noted sur geon, of Baltimore, Md,, wrote Govei- nor Fickett a letter endorsing the ac tion of the authorities for not approv ing the use of whiskey in the influen za pidemic, in which he says: "I am elad you stuck to your guns, ard would not sanction the importa tion of liquor into the Mate. Une might imagine it was a well recogniz ed treatment of influenza and pneu monia from the excitement aroused Such is not the case. "I don't think any doctor of ability,' reads the letter, today would declare that he was sure that whiskey had ever yet saved a sing-.e case. Bui every man would tell you that he was certain Whiskey has caused tens ot thousands of cases of pneumoina and the drinker almost always dies whe'i he gets it. "Osier, in his 1912 'Practice,' says 'Alcohol is generally advisable to combat 'toxemia'; and then, in 'Moo- em Medicine,' 1913, p. 282, says: 'Col 'ected statistics of patients treated with and without alcohol show a low er mortality when it is withheld (Hay), and even in chronic drunkards immediate withdrawal is beter than temporizing. (Galli, Herning.) "You see we doctors," : concludes Dr.. Kelly, "know mighty, little about thereapeutics. Alcohol as a curative agent is like whipping a jaded horse, but he don t go as far as he migh have gone without the whipping." THIRD OF POPULATION HAS STARVED. Washington, Oct. 29. Relief work on a far greater scale than now is bcinir administered by the American Red Cross among the civilian popula tions cf the Holy Land is immediately necessary if thousands of men, women anu children are to be saved, said s cablegram received at Red Cross headquarters today from lDr. John H. Finley ,Red Cross commissioner for Palestine. One-third of the population of Lob anon has died of starvation and dis ease due to lack . of nourishment many villages are depopulated and in ruins, and thousands of persons an in direst need as tjie result of epidem ics, prohibitive prices of food and in ability to get work, Doctor. Finley said..-: BULGARIAN TERMS OF PEACE ARE ANNOUNCED Amsterdam, Oct. 7.

The Turks were pot mentioned In the armistice according to the H. patch. NURSING OF INFLUENZA. Syllabus Issued By State Board of ' Health. The State Board of Health has sent out the following syllabus for homo nursing of influenza and suggest that the points should be explained in detail by a odctor, trained nurso. or by some, woman who has had ex perience in home, nursing: ' - "Tlfe nurse, should adopt the follow ing precautions: , "1. .Wear face mask when waiting on patients. - The mask should be made! of at least four thicknesses of fine mesh gauze and should be larg: enough to cover mouth and nose. Sterilize masks daily by boiling. "2. Wash hands thoroughly after coming in contact with each afte or with bed clothes. Do not put hands in mouth or about face. It is safer to dip hands in antiseptic solution made of dissolving two bichloride of mercury tablets in a quart of water. "3. Wash out nose and mouth and gargle three times a day with solu tion made by dissolving one level tea spoonful of salt in a pint of water, Snuff vaseline up nose. Keep bowels open, drink plenty of water, and ge proper amount of rest and sleep. The Sick Room. "1. This room should be well ven tilated.day and' night but patient should not be placed in a draft. "2. Remove -., unnecessary furnl ture and clothing. ; "3. Keep room quiet. The Patient. "1. Keep in bed with sufficient cov ering to keep warm. "2. Take pulse and temperature and give food at regular intervals (usually every hour), and keen a re cord of these. Make a note of all drugs given. The record should also show the time of bowel and kidney movement and the amount of sleep and nourishment the patient gets. "3. The normal pulse rate is 72 80 beats per minute for adults; mole rapid for children. Pulse can best b felt on front cf arm just .above the wrist on the thumb side. "4. Then Normal temperature is about 98 1-2 degrees. In taking the temperature place thermometer under patient s tongue and have the lips closed. Be sure and shake the ther mometer down before it is used. Af ter use the thermometer should be soaked in the disinfectant solution and then washed in clean cold water. Never use hot water for this purpose In children take the temperature by- placing thermometer well under the arm. . "If patient has temperature of 102 degrees or more put ice cap io nuau and rub back and limbs wich camphoi or witch hazel, keeping the patient under cover. Bathe face and hands in cold water. If patient gets cold put hot water or hot brick or iron to fest and limbs. "5. Make patient drink plenty of water. Keep bowels open freely with salts, oil, or enemas. .--, "6. After patient has perspired freely change clothing and bed clothes being careful not to expose the pa tient or to allow him to beconi'.' chilled "7. Keep patient s teeth and mouth lean. . "8. As long as patient has fever give only liquid diet fruit juice, meat juices, broths, and soups. "J. Have patient spit m paner or old cloths which can be burned; and Lurn these often. , "10. Keep patient in bed at least three full day3 after the fever has be come normal.-This is very importer t as pneumonia and relapses most of ten occur in patients who leave their beds too early." W HY THE COLONEL is' PEEVED. Mr. Roosevelt i the man who. in jected, partisan politics into the pres ent situation.1 He has been barking at the heels of President Wilson, the Commander-in-Chief of our , Army and Navy, for months past, says the Philadelphia Record. Mr. Roosevelt has spent most of his time for months in trying to detra.'C from the work accomplished by our boys, and his boys, too, and in de nouncing the President for not enter ing the war at an earlier date. A great many people are not delud ed. They know, or think they know, why Mr. Roosevelt started to de nounce President Wilson on ' a new line several weeks ago. The present trouble -with Mr. Roosevelt ft not that our part in tin; war was not started soon enough, but that we have ended it too far in ad vance of 1820,vwhen he expects again to try for a third term as President. The brutal frankness of many cf the German papers is an important sign of the times.- It does not matter much whether they represent exten sive public opinion or not thougi they would not be likely to attack the kaiser unless that sort of thing were popular. But the important fact is that they can denounce the Kaiser, or demand his abdication, without beint' supresKed and their editors put in jail. Evidently . the Government does not dare suppress them; it is afraid of th? people. ' OUR GREAT UNLEARNED. Popular Mechanics. - The war has thrust a schoolmas ters task of tremendous proportions on our government. Because there are 5,500,600 persons over 10 in this country who cannot read and write in any language, the secretary of the in terior has urged Congress to enact laws to remedy this situation. The figures quoted in this connec tion are startlmg. There are nearly 700,000 men of draft age in this coun try who are illiterate. Aside from the big economic loss which such ignor ance entails, there are vital military considerations' involved. These men, of whom between 30,000 and 40,000 are already in the army, cannot read the orders posted on the bulletin boards, thev cannot read the manual of arma, nor understand signals giv nn .by,the sinhal jiorps in time of bat-J tie.: - .- - - M A PATRIOTIC DUTY Almost as vital as that of protecting the honor of flag and country, is the duty of protecting and safe-guarding health. When strength is well-nigh exhausted and the resistive powers are reduced, then is the time disease germs are the most potent and when . y ' affords splendid and effectual means of offsetting the tendency f toward -weakness and protecting strengA. The abundant tonic and unique nourishing properties of Scott' Emulsion make it a dependable agent that TTtf may be used everyday, by anyone, to protect strength. 4)i fccott a Bowse. Blaomfcld. N. I. PUBLIC SENTIMENT.. Springfield Republican. The lifting of the ban on the uso of gasoline on Sundays ends a most interesting war experiment which will be long remembered as a precedent. Every car owner who has sacrificed his Sunday ride during the past two months will now be pleased to learn that 1,000,000 barrels of gasoline have been saved for the oversea?, forces of iho United States. Wfls it not worth while? And how easily it was done! No law enacted to the same end could have brought better results. Volun tary the action of the people was in a sense, but when the fuel adminis tration's request was fully understood the mere sanction of a virtually unanimous public opinion became more powerful than any written sta tute. One could search history in vain for a finer illustration of what a solidified public sentiment can accom plish almost instantaneously. GERMANS COOK UP THE DEAD BODIES COMRADES First Sergt. Robert Rascoe, medical corps, 120th infantry, in a letter to his mother in Reidsville, writes: "I have just returned again from the trenches, and you shall be the first one for me to wr te. I'm getting along fine and enjoying the best of health. "We had more casualties this timo than we've had any time in the lines owing to tin; fact that every time be fore we have just held the line and this time we pushed the Boche and gained bur offensive. While the bullets were singing and shrapnel bursting we were back in the aid post helping the brave boys who were wounded. It is a horrible sight to see them with their limbs broken and blown off and bullets and shran- rnel wounds through the head and bo dy, let it is certainly remarkable how these boys talked after being wounded; how they made tho Boche run and how they were taken prison ers. "When they brought prisoners ln d: we used every one of them for stretcher-bearers. 'We used over 500 of them for this purpose that dav. When we put a man on a stretclni after dressing him we would put four bermans to carry him. All we had to do was just show him the path and he would carry the patients back with out any guard at, all. I have heard how the Germnni cooked up the dead bodies of their comrades but never believed it unti! I saw it with my own eyes. We went in a tunnel where thev used, and there were dead bodies a numbers of ereat large pots on a furnace; then there was a body all cut up and in the pots; also the chop block and evervthine in evidence to show that this barbarous work had been eoinc on without doubt. It is impossible for peoole like thi3 to win war. It is only a ouestiot. of time when they will be completely wiuppeu. mis is wnat we are an liv ing for now. so that when this p-reat struggle ends we can return to our homes and loved ones." BETTER SHOES FOR LESS MONEY PROMISED The American people will soon be able to purchase shoes at fixed mini mum and maximum retail prices, low er than those now prevailing and ob tain at the came time shoes of better quality. This 'announcement was made by the war industries hoard. based in an agreement entered into with the shoe industry. Under the agreement shoes will be standardized as to quality and styles at prices ranging from $3 to $12 for men and women groups as follows: Class A, from $9 to $12; Class B, $6 to $8.50; and Class C, $3 to $5.50; proportion ate prices for youths' and children's shoes have been fixed in each of the three classes. " Manufacturers, iobbers and retail ers subscribed to the agreement and retailers will be recmired to siim a pledge containing the new price scale and display it in their shops. Failure to do so will mean the cutting off of supplies. The manufacturers' pledge provides for standards of quality at the quoted prices. ACCEPT TERMS, URGE THE GERMAN BANKERS Amsterdam, Nov. 2 Gcrnan bank ing ana commercial men, after a meeting have ent the government a declaration in favor of acceptance of the entente's armistice conditions, ac cording to the German papers. ihe declaration presents an argu ment against thoce who hope for an improvement of the situation from a continuance of the war and demands measures for facilitating peace, even if sacrifices are required.
