evening to organize Tor the anti race track cam
paign in this county and to send large delega-
ton to the mass meeting in Elkton on the 9th.
The usual number ofcommittees were appointed
and the selection of suitable delegation was lett
in the hands of the executive committee, d. L.
Shaw chairman.
The policy recommended does not seem to in
dictate any intention to crystaiize for unity of
action but to allow every man to support his own
party candidates. and contine ourselves to asking
them to nominate none but anti-track legislative
candidates on all tickets which they VIII IN all
probability do, when the millennium comes.
The following comprise the executive
committee for the Sixth district:

that life is worth living. He
who has become the gradual
prey of constipation, does not
realize the friction under which
he 1abors, until the burden is
lifted from him. Then his
mountains sink into mole

place to jol1ity, he is a happy
man again. If life does not
seem worth living to you, you
may take a very different view
of it after taking
