The New York Mail and Express has
this to say of the campaign tactics of a
Randolph man in that city
"At the close of the campaign in this
country for the republican presidential
ticket, two general facts are noted by
trained political observers. Olie of these
is the energetic and thorough work per-
formed by the republican county COM
mittee, and the other is the volunteer SER
vice rendered by the local speakers. Ac
cording TO John Sabine Smith, chairman
I OF the committee on speakers, appointed
/ by the county committee, more THAI twice
as many meetings have been held this
I year as In any previous presidential year.
| Nearly 1909 audiences have been addressed
/ by repu Dlican orators, and more than 100
speakers have devoted portion of their
| time to the cause entirely without pay.
The meetings, except Ia a few instances,
were organized by the assembly district
association. The speakers were furnished
/ by the committee of which Sir. Smith Is
the chairman, and many were men who
volunteered at considerable personal sac
rifice. Within fortnight dinner is to
be given in honor OF the orators, at which
all tie little army Of spellbinders will be
present.
In an interview, Chairman Smith said
The local campaign has been inspiring
because OF the harmony with which II has
been conducted, the unprecedented audi
ences, ana the number ana Importance OF
the smaller meetings. Ihis year has wit
messed an unusual amount OF opsn-air
speaking. There have been ten speeches
made from the tail OF catt where there
was one last year.
/ should say that the distinctive feature
of the county canvass was these small
open-air gatherings. Hitherto in the dis
tricts where a truck campaign would pro-
duce results, II has been deemed too dam
gerous to attempt on any general scale.
The old police were not trusted, and the
street crowds in the Tammany strong
nolds had a hearty way with them that
seemed TO imperil life or limb. That day
has passed. Our orators have circled the
city nightly with a Gordon OF logic and
eloquence, and so far as 1 have heard only
one meeting has been broken up.
All along Tenth avenue and the avenues
on either side; in the Hebrew neighbor-
hoods east of the Bowery, and IN the re-
gion OF He'll Gate, republicans have been
expounding political doctrines to audi
ences ranging from 90 to 1000 people.
Two quartettes, one white and one col
ored, have been working under the COM
mittee, and several soloists have also been
employed. Italian aud German audiences
have been addressed in their own tongues,
and the colored citizens OF New York
hove never been so united In the support
OF presidential ticket.
Ii mas been the observation OF our men
that protection is the issue which evokes
the applause OF an open-air audience

The graded school will not be in session
tomorrow, as the principal and teachers

The social dance in the Grange hall Fri
day night was very pleasant affair and
was attended by about twenty-five
couples. Mr.. Harris Bass performed the
duties of floor manager with the assist
ance of several aids. Manchester's or

the evening.

at his own curls prompted the next ques-
ton. "Wasn't it fastened on, uncle?''

Dreadful
Rheumatism.

No disease has puzzled the doctors
en- completely as rheumatism-that de-
oIorabie condition of the blood which
n often renders the strongest man as
be1nless as a babe. Their mercurial
and potash remedies may in some
cases impart temporary relief, but are
sure to ultimately result in wrecking
the entire system.
Rheumatism is deep-seated blood
disease and only a real blood remedy
will have any effect whatever upon
n Most of the so-called blood rene
dies are at best only tonics and can
not reach an obstinate blood trouble.
one of the most frequent symptoms of
rheumatism is tingling sensation of
the parts affected, generally brought
about from lack of free circulation
of the blood through the very small
blood conductors. This trouble is al
ways eliminated by the use of S. S. s.;
il thins the blood, gives it free and
forcible circulation, destroys the pois-
ouous microbes and restores the circu-
lation to its normal condition.
Mr.. Robert H. King, prominent
and influential citizen of West Point,
Va, writes of his experience with this
dread disease:
About five years ago | was a great
sufferer from rheumatism. I was
treated by all the leading physicians

The library rooms on the second floor

opposite side of the hall from DR.. Blan-
chard's dental office, are bright, cheerful
apartments, in an excellent location for

The books are of the best, as glance at
the catalogue will show, and the state
commissioners gave our trustees the cred
1t of having sent in the most sensible list
they had yet received.
The library is to be kept up in the same
way in which it has been started-by en-
couragement received from the state, town
and village, and by gifts from societies and
individuals. 1t is the intention and hope
of the trustees to be able to add between
one and two hundred new volumes to the
list every year.

the expense of printing.
The following rules, to govern applica-
lions for books, have been adopted
