dates are to speak. 1t is reported the
campaign has been opened, but if so the
people are left in entire ignorance of
where meetings are to be held.
Myself and neighbors have watched
the papers closly but have not found
the usual schedule of meetings. Is the
committee asleep, or what is the mat
ter with it's members? People can't
attend meetings if they are not notified
when and where they are to be held.
One of my neighbors was over at
Isleton yesterday and says he saw
man put up a poster announcing
meeting there for that night That's
no way to get a crowd. Men out on
the farms depend on the daily papers
for their information, not on a few
handbills stuck up in the saloons IN
the villages.
I suppose there'u be a meeting in
Franklin one of these nights, and that
we will learn of it after the candidates
had been here and gone.

PECULIAR POISONS
GENERATED IN THE HUMAN BODY
The Result of Imperfect Digestion OF
Food.

Every living thing, plant or animal,
contains within itself the germs of GER
tain decay and death.
In the human body these germs OF
disease and death (called by scientists
Ptomaines), are usually the result of
imperfect digestion of food; the result
OF indigestion or dyspepsia
The stomach, from abuse, weakness,
does not promptly and thoroughly di-
gest the food. The result is a heavy.
sodden mass which ferments (he first
process of decay, poisoning the blood,
making 1t thin, weak and lacking in red
corpuscles; poisoning the brain, caus-
ing headaches and pain in the eyes.
BAD digestion irritates the heart,
causing palpitation and finally bring
ing on disease of this very important
organ.
Poor digestion poisons the kidneys,
causing Bright's disease and diabetes.
And this is so because every organ,
every nerve depends upon the stomach
alone for nourishment and renewal
and weak digestion shows itself not
only in loss of appetite and flesh, but in
weak nerves and muddy complexion.
The great English scientist, Huxley,
said the best start in life is a sound
stomach. Weak stomachs fail to di-
gest food properly, because they lack
the proper quantity of digestive acids
Qactic and hydrochloric) and peptogenic
products; the most sensible remedy in
all cases of indigestion is to take af-
ter each meal one or two of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, because they supply
in a pleasant, harmless form all the
elements that weak stomachs lack.
The regular use of Stuart's Dyspep-
sia Tablets Will cure every form Of
stomach trouble except cancer Of the
stomach.
They increase flesh, insure pure blood,
strong nerves, a bright eye and clear
complexion, because all these result
only from wholesome food we'll di-
gested.
Nearly all druggists sell Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets at 80 cents full
sized package, or by mail by inclosing
price to Stuart Co., Marshall, Mich,
but ask your druggist first.
A little book on stomach diseases
mailed free. Address Stuart Co., Mar
shall, Mich.

GROVE L. JOHNSON SPEAKS.
He Argues That the Republicans
Deserve Success.

Hon. Grove L. Johnson spoke to a
large audience at Twelfth and
streets last night, addressing them on
the political issues of the day. He be-
gan by saying that the past few years
had been chara cterized by great pros
perity, due to Republican statesman
ship. He then argued that the Re
publican party had earned the right
to have the reins Of government thrown
in it's hands in this State
The speaker held that Magu1re
was SO full of isns and destructive
theories that his election would be a
calamity to- the State Coming to Sac
ramento and it's needs, he said:
There is need of a man in the AS
sembly who will help to keep the enc
mics of Sacramento from removing the
Capital and the State Fair. There Is
also need of a fight to maintain the
State Printing Office, as we have seen
it closed to our detriment. All these
things are of great benefit to Sacra-
nento, and there should be "a deter
mined effort to- have a good Republican
inD office at every point, from Constable
to Governor. In saying all this, have
nothing to say against my opponent
for the Assembly from the Twentieth
District He is a good young man,
and he had am excellent father, but /
think I am a better man, SO there the
whole thing rests
The speaker went fully into the
single-tax question, showing how such
a system of taxation as Mcguire advo-
Gates would ruin the small farmers and
nearly all poor men in the country,
allowing the rich to escape taxation.
He believed it was the duty of the
people by all means to elect a Repub-
hcan Assembly, so as to have a
Republican United States Senator, and
urged every man to see that his vote
was on the Republican side this year.

WILL WAIT UNTIL CANADIANS ACT

Then the SeawanhhkA's Committee Will
Discuss the Race Trouble.
Little that has not already been published in
TIL Sun could.be learned relative to the trou-
BILE between the Royal st. Lawrence Yacht Club
and the Seawanhaka-Corinthia Yacht Club.
r. W. Gibson. who represented the Race Com
mittee OF the latter organization at Doryal. said
that he made the protest against the Domin-
ion as not being a fair type OF boat. but left it
to the good judgment Of the club TO withdraw
her and substitute a craft that was Of a more
legitimate type. This the Canadians declined
to do. and. as he believed it best to sail the
races. he did not order Crane to withdraw his
boat.
''The only communication 1 had from our
Race Committee" said Gibson. was received
late on the night before the first race. after I
returned to my hotel from the clubhouse. It
was then too late to do anything. On Friday
afternoon 1 looked over the Dominion and

When asked when the meeting Of the COM

Wetmore said that it would not be for a week
or ten days. owing to the fact that the com
mitteemen were scattered all about the coun-
try. Besides" he further said, 1T viii, prob
ably be better to defer our meeting until after
the st. Lawrence Club decides what 1t will do
in the matter. When we know how the club
will act it will be time enough to call a COM

A %el-know member OF the Seawanhaka
Club said that the rumor that Skipper Crane
and his crew would be censured for sailing

had no right. TO refuse TO sail. They repre-
sented our club and were controlled by Glib
