The First Thing in the

Take a little Carlsbad Sprudel Salt
in a glassful of water. That will set
you right and keep you right, if
you're inclined to be bilious or dys-
peptic or constipated.
People wonder sometimes why it
is that the Carlsbad treatment, the
worlds remedy for habitual consti-
patton, should be recommended for
diarrhoea and such disorders, too.
Simply because it leads the stomach
and bowels naturally into healthy
condition, whatever their derange-
ments-it doesn't accomplish its re-
suits by harmful irritation, as most
pills and purgatives do.
Beware of limitations sold as ''irl-
proved" or artificial" Carlsbad Salt

MCKINLEY IN KENTUCKY

Can Garry. the State
Delegates Will Vote for Gov. Bradley
If There is Any Chance
far Him.

Representative Colson of Kentucky has
returned from trip to his state. When
asked by a Star reporter as to how the re-
publican presidential fight was getting
along, he said:
Next to Gov. Bradley, the men, women
and children are for Mckinley, and it looks
like he will have the solid state. OF course
our delegates will compliment: Gov. Bradley.
and will vote for him whenever it is
thought there Is IL chance for his nominal
ton, but Whenever they dc not cast Bradley
votes Mckinley will sc; Them
Mckinley Men Active.
By others who have been to Kentucky
recently it is said that the Mckinley men
are wasing war against everybody, and
that 1t is not unlikely that many OF the dis
tricts will instruct for rim first and for
Bradley second, something like was done
for Senator Davis in his state Even Gov.
Bradley's friends, 1t Is said. do not look up
on him as having any chance for the nonli-
nation. The Mckinley men are urging that
to instruct for Bradley. or to allow him to
name the delegates, will be throwing away
votes which Mckinley will want. The Nc

Gov. Bradley is charged with being
friendly to Morton. The Mckinley men
fear that # this is true the governor would
use his influence with some of the delegates
to vote that way. Besides it is said that
Gov. Bradley would not be averse to the
vice presidential nomination. Should Nor
ton or an eastern man be selected as the
presidential nominee, it would be all right
to choose western or southern man for
second place. The Kentucky man might be
willing to enter a combination with that
end in view. r.

mckinley could carry Kentucky with a

would harily be any doubt on this point.
Thousands Of democrats. would vote for
him, but nigh. not vote for some other re-
publican. There are many democrats in
the state who have recently been converted
to the doctrines of reciprocity and protec-
ton. They are mostly manufacturers.
These men like Mckinley and would vote
for him.
Republicans claim that all indcat ions
point to their carrying the state this fall.
There has been no union of the democrats.
The same bitter feeling exists and will
crop out when the state convention meets
to elect delegates to the Chicago conven-
ton. 1t is said that the silver men have
decided to neither give nor ask quarter. If
they are in a minority in the state conven-
ton they will accept the situation like men.

that of the Tillmanites
THE democrats of the west or of any
other part of the country, said Gen. New.
need no advice from Mr.. Tilman or from
any other person who comes from outside
the ranks of the party. Mr.. Tillman was
ton, which he occupies and disgraces TO-
day. and there is no more reason why he
should be invited to address a democratic
convention, with his TRADE and yi,unera-
ton, than should Mr.. Coxey or any other
individual antagonistic TO the principles of
democracy"
Gen. New further states that in his onip-
ion no true democrat will participate in the
deliberations of this convention to be ad-
dressed by Mr.. Tillman, but that demo-
Gratis will assemble and select delegates Ia
the national convention to go as democrats
and not as Tillmanite boilers. Further
these delegates will be pledged to support
the adoption of free silver plank in the
democratic platform and the nomina ton of
man to carry it out. But in case this
delegation should be in the minority, il
will support the principle of democracy
which has always characterized it's indie
pendence, viz, that the majority shall
