COCHRAN WILL HAVE TO FIGHT.
Four Active or Prospective Candi-
dates for His Seat in
Congress-.

MARYVILLE, MO-, July 17.-(Special)
Ex-State Senator Michael G. Moran, Of St.
Joseph, who is spending few days rest
ing on the farm of his brother, near Mary
vile, announced positively to-day that he
will be candidate for the Democratic
nomination for congressman from the
Fourth district against c. F. Cochran, the
present incumbent, next year.
There is reason for believing that Mr.
Cochran will have to fight very hard for
denomination next year. James Tood. ed
itor of the Maryville Democrat, is being
seriously doomed for the place by the
Democrats of Nodaway county; Senator
Francis NJ. Wilson, of Platte county, will,
it is said be out against Mr.. Cochran, and
regarded as a receptive candidate. Sena-
tor Moran expresses the greatest confidence
in his ability to defeat Mr.. Cochran in
their county, Buchanan, and intimates that
If he (Moran) is not nominated it will be
some man from outside of St. Joseph
Mr.. Cochran was elected for his second
term last fall.

The Kidney Complexion.

The pale, sallow, sunken-cheeked, dis
tressed- looking people you so often meet
are afflicted with Kidney Complexion. A"
Their kidneys are turning to parsnip
color. So is their complexion.
They may also have Indigestion, or
suffer from sleeplessness, rheumatism,
neuralgia, brain trouble, nervous exhaus-
ton and sometimes the heart acts badly.
The cause is weak, unhealthy kidneys.
Usually the sufferer from kidney dis
eases does not find out what the trouble
is until it is almost to late, because the
first symptoms are so like mild sickness
that they do not think they need medi-
cine or doctor until they find them
selves sick in bed.
DIR. Kilmer's Swamp-Root will build
up and strengthen their weak and dis
eased kidneys, purify their diseased, kid
ney-poisoned blood, clear their COM
plexion and soon they will enjoy better
health.
You can get the regular sizes at the
drug store, at fifty cents and one dollar,
or you may first prove for yourself the
wonderful virtues of thisgreat discovery,
Swamp-Root, by sending your address to
DR.. Kilmer q Co., Binghamton, N. Y. for

name. From the first il was understood
by the fathers of the republic, by Jeffer--
son and Washington, thatitwas an unmiti-
gated curse and a clause was inserted in
the original drafto OF the constitution that
would prohibit the crime of slavery; but
SO aggressive was the South, so tenacious
of this right of theirs, as they esteemed
it, that they accomplished the expur-
CATION of that clause. Thal same spirit
tation i'm the electoral college of the
United States and in the American
congress, and it holds that representation
to-day. 1t is an astounding fact that for
about 5000 votes in South Carolina or
any other southern state, they are en-
titled to member of congress or vote
in the electoral college, while in Michi-
igan or Dakota such representation is
only secured by about $4,000 votes. Is
there anything Just about thatS 1t
ought to be readjusted. 1t ought to be
taken in hand by the congress Of the
United States, and the people of the
United States ought to make it inn
perative that congress shall see that
there is just apportionment, a just
representation.
How is this done? That brings me to
my subject to-day. 1t is done by the dis
reimbursement of the colored people of
the South. What was lost in war is sought
to be gained at the ballot box.
Now let me pause to say, in all our
experience in the South, we have been
kindly treated. The southern people are
very hospitable, very courteous. They
know how to treat people. But you
must enjoy their hospitality upon
one condition, that you do not come
against their prejudices; if you do,
you will wish yourself back in the
North, although the thermometer may
be down in the thirties. 1t is colder in
the sunny South under such circum-
stances than it has been here during the
past win ter. We had letters of intro
duction from friends to representa-

Obituary.

G.. B. Palmer was born in Cayuga
county, N. Y, Oct. 16, 1918, and died in
Almena, Van Buren, county, Michigan,
March 10, 1899. In boyhood, his father

he came to Michigan. December %, 1850,
he was united in marriage to Salina
Downing, with whom he lived till death
severed the tie, living at first in Pine
Grove, then moving to the farm in
Almena. His wife, four children and
many friends mourn his loss. A loving
family and kind neighbors did all in their
power to save him, but death called him
from us. A loving husband and father
kind and esteemed neighbor is gone
and we remember him by what he has
been to us, what he has done. F. N.
