Some of our Democratic friends, in the
absence Of something else to allcgc
AGAINST Hon. J. II. Bodwell say that he
i the ring candidate. Although self
made man, he is a ring made candidate
This is very serious charge. The fact
is that If there had been no combined ei-
fort in his favor the mere announcement
that he would allow his name to be used
In convention would have been sufficient
Ia secure his nomination, His candidacy
did not have to be worked up. His friends
were sufficiently numerous in all parts OF
tho State to guarantee success from the
start. His nomination was assured the
day he consented to allow the use Of his
name.

The House Judiciary Committee have report
ed the anti Mormon bill and it is a
very much more stringent bill than that OF
the Mormons unless they resort to system OF
perjury. 1t annuls woman suffrage, cancels the
the church organization, takes away the charter
of their immigration society, prevents Mormons
from pre-empting lands and destroys their mon
opoly of water rights, which has enabled them
to occupy all available lands.

Our Democratic contemporaries are at
tempting to make what capital they can
out of the fact that Mr. Bodwell was
nominated at Lewiston over his competi-
tor who Is veteran soldier 1t is trife
late In the day for the Democratic party
To champion the cause of the solder and
1t may readily be seen that In doing so
now this object is for election purposes
only" Other things being equal the SOL
der should have the preference and the
Republican party have followed this as a
rule. No other party has done as well
by the veteran soldier as the Republican
party.

Beware of ScroM/a

Scrofula is probably more general than any
other disease. 1t is msidious in character,
and manifests itself in running sores, pustular

cxpels all trace of scrofula from the blood,
leaving 1t pure, enriched and healthy.
