same day, because it will be possible to
hold the Fifth district gathering at
Cedar Rapids in the afternoon, and the
chairman will then be able to get to
Waterloo in time for the Third district
meeting on the same evening.
These meetingc are of great import
ance, and every couty chairman Will be
urged to attend. Nothing in a campaign
is more important than prompt atten-
ton to avery detail of business by the
county chairman. He is the man Who
must look after the actual work with
the voters, Md if he is negligent about
arranging for aleetlngs, answering tel
egrams. etc, the whole organization
must fail, no matter how perfect it be
at headquarters.
Senator Gear talked to his friends
freely about the senatorial situation.
and expressed confidence that he will be
easily re-elected The Gear sentiment
vas decidedly predominant in the gath
ering of leaders. The members of con-
sfess, as a rule. don't naince matters
about their support of Senator Gear
The senator considers that recent re-
suits have made his reelection abso-
lutely certain if there was ever any
question about it. He looks we'll for a
man of his years. and there is little in
his appearance to suggest that col
iapse. some time between now and next
January, may put a new face on affairs
This is one Of the things that the op-
panents of the junior senator have al
ways given prominent place in their
list of contingencies. They urge that a
man of his age and his condition is liza
BILE to go TO pieces at any time; and
their aim has been in some measure to
get the Cummins fences into slcn con-
dition that. should Senator Gear be en-
tirely out of it. Cummins would be able
to pull down the plum in the face of the
general scramble that of course would
ensue.
w. o. Payne of Nevada. the mathe-
nlatician of the Cummins movement,
was among the men who We're brought
| TO town by the committee meeting. Mr..
Payne declares that his very latest re-
vision of statistics is encouraging. He
admits that there have been evidences
of discouragement among some of the
Cummins people of late. which he re-
CARDS as most unfortunate; bat he
doesn't believe it will greatly affect the
results in county conventions. He de-
clares that the men who are making
the Cunlmins fight know better than TO
be misled by the unreasonable Gear
claims, and viii keep right at work till
the last convention is over.

tons today, and their results viii be

never varied in the grand result, announc-
ed the discovery of swamp Root. which
has proven itself a most wonderful cure
for all diseases of the kidneys and bladder.
While Swamp Root has proven such a
remarkable success in curing kidney and
bladder diseases. it has also proved equally
invaluable in the cure of blood diseases,
rheumatism. liver and stomach troubles,
and in the regulation and cure of all uric
acid troubles.
Swamp Root has been tested in so many
WAYS in hospital work in private practice.
among the helpless too poor to purchase
relief. and has proved so successful that
