Mr. Murphy aald there was no doubt about the outcome but said there was some anxiety In his mind over New Jersey. The difference between doubt and anxiety as carefully expounded by the former governor seems to be about the difference between mist and rain.

'There Is no doubt Kffwrtlnn unions? the labor voters and a large number of negroes are dis loyal to the Republican party.- Both these things, however, are being over come."

O you know that just changing your watch from one pocket to another in which you have not been accustomed to carry.it is enough to so seriously ef fect its timekeeping qualities that it may change it from a good timekeeper to a poor one? You didn't know a watch could be as sensi tive as all that, did you? , Every good jeweler knows it, however. Every maker of watches knows it, and yet, of all the watches made, andjseld, there is only one in all the world whose makers care enough about the kind of time their watches keep and the satis factory service they give those who buy and carry them, to see that each watch is adjusted and regulated to the person and the pocket of the individual who is to carry it. We . cannot too often re peat that just as much care is used in selecting the jeweler . to sell you a SOUTH BEND watch as is used in making the watch itself SOUTH BE'D WATCHES are sold only by reliable jewelers, by competent jewelers, by the best jeweler in each community, who has the skill and experience and intelligence, to properly adjust and care for them. Before a jeweler is permitted to sell a SOUTH BEND WATCH, he must satisfy us that he is competent to assist you in selecting the watch exactly suited to your needs, and ad just it, as everj' good timekeeper must be ad justed by a jeweler, in such a manner as to give you the greatest amount of timekeeping serv ice f of' your money. We are as proud of the jewelers who sell SOUTH BEXD WATCHES as we are of the watches. They are the best jewelers and the best watches that there are in the world. No extra charge is made for this service. - We gladly, pay the jeweler for his assistance to you that we may know that every purchaser SOUTH BEND of a SOUTH BEND watch has a satisfactory timepiece. But such care in selling SOUTH BEND WATCHES would all be wasted if the watch itself did not deserve the care. So we put all the skill that mony and experience can com mand into SOUTH BEND watches, making them , grade for grade superior to any other watch made. They are watches for the hustling, rough-and-tumble life you lead, designed to withstand without effect the bumps and jars and jolts, the vibration of trains and automo biles, horseback riding, and violent changes in which temperature other watches may not stand. Every SOUTH BEND watch, before it leaves the factory, must undergo tests in a refrigerator at freerlng as the worst strain you will ever give it It is' baked in an oven and kept for hours that are twice as severe point, to demonstrate that it will keep perfect time with out being influenced by the changes in temperature. It must keep in temperature. You might freeze ft in a block of ice without injuring it in the slightest degree. And all this extreme care in making and test ing and selling costs you nothing. Your jeweler will gladly show you this beau tiful modern watch and tell you about it. He will explain you why SOUTH BEND watches keep better tjme than any other watch. If your jeweler is not one of our 10,000 author ized representatives, send us his name and we will take the matter up with him personally, and also send you free, our handsome book, "How Good Watches Are Made," and a little device showing how a' SOUTH BEND watch adjust itself to every temperature, I II " 1.11 ...)
