THE LAW INTERPRETED.
Chairman Hancock Gives Republicans
Some Pointers Regarding the
New Election Law.

That the caucuses and conventions to
De held in the next few weeks may
make no mistakes in their deliberations,
Chairman &. Il. Hancock of the Repub-
hcan state cei trail committee has sent
9ut circular letter to the different
sounty chairmen, urging strict COM
pliance with the law and explaining
she requirements thereof. Following is
She text Of the circular, handed us by
Chairman J. j. Marsh, of this county:
DEAR SIR:-I desire TO call your especial
attention TO two important acts, neither of
which should be omitted in connection with
any Republican caucus, primary or conven-
tion whether ward, township, city, county
or DISTRICT which may be held.
First. Appointing or selecting an executive
or central committee for such ward, township,
city, county or district. This should be done
by the caucus: primary or convention itself,
Or by the presiding officer on the strength OF
aresolution passed at the meeting authorizing
him to do so.
Second. Certifying the names and addresses
OF the members of this committee to the same
officer to whom the candidates, nominated at
the caucus, primary or convention, are certi-
ned. This should be done by the chairman
and secretary of the meeting and may he en-
braced in the same certificate by which the
candidates are certified, or il may be done by
a separate certificate, executed with like form
Atty.
The provisions of the law in reference to the
foregoing are to be found in Section 1893 of the
Code of Iowa.
The Importance of complying with the pro-
visions of this section are clearly outlined in
section llO2 of the Code. In case the "nomin-
alton papers, of any candidate or set of candi-
dates are held to be defective or imperative
by the officer with whom they are filed, or if
any candidate die, withdraw, or be held in
eligible, the power to fill the vacancy thus
created is vested in the executive or central
committee chosen by the caucus, primary or
convention at which the original nominee
was nominated; provided this committee
shall have been duly certified TO the proper
officer, but not otherwise.
The total number of Republican candidates

DEPEW ON THE ELECTIONS.
SAYS TIE RESULT MEANS BRYAN
AND M,KINLEY AGAIN IN 1900.

The Senator Declares the Nebrnskan Must
Make the Fight Then on n Platform OPP
posed to the Tondencies Of the Age, and
Consequently without Hope OF Success.
The Hon. Chauncey Mitchell Depew. junior
Repub lican United States Senator for the En-
pire State had a few words to say yesterday
about Tuesdays elections In the nation and
their meaning. Mr.. Depew said:
In the FIRST place. II means the denomination
OF Mckinley next year by reclamation. In
the second place. 1t means the renomina-
ton OF William J. Bryan by reclamation.
Neither man will have any serious opposition.
II any. It means new .ssues-that Is. for a
national campaign. but issues that the people
have just endorsed.
The election In Ohio on Tuesday was
test OF the popular estimation OF i'm
perialIsm. The result shows that ex-
panson has caught the popular fancy and
that the people are not afraid OF trusts 1t
means that the people are determined that
the party and Administration which con-
osived and which can carry to q sue
cessful issue this policy OF colonial
empire shall stay In power. II means
that the people demand and will support the Ad-
mlnistrution In its policy OF absorption Of the
Philippines. Cuba. Porto Rico. Hawaii. Guam
and the other islands. 1t proved that the CRY Of
- u
people do not fear them. Taken a. q whole
II means the unqualified. hearty and sweeping
endorsement OF tho Observation-Disclosures for
this reason Mr.. NcKinley's denomination 10
assured.
As for Mr.. Bryan. his reconciliation by
reclamation 10 certain. because 10 tho fret
place he Ia tho idol OF the Democratic
party. The poetry and the mysticism
OF the fallen leader cling around him.
He carried his own State. That was the test. Had
no been unable to do that he might have been
brushed aside with the remark that he had been
defeated In his own home. ASS shrewd politician
he realized this. and he made that the nRht OF
the year He won. and the idol OF the Democ-
racy and the victor in his own State will be
nominated again.
80 We shall have In 1900 a. We had In 1895.
Mckinley and Bryan arraysd against each
other. Bryan was beaten in 1880 upon
an issue OF 10 to /. That issue to-
day IL irrstrievably dead. It 10 . Ghost.
Next year Bryan will run upon q general
anti platform. with enough OF the free silver In
II to hold the old timers Bryan cannot
bring his party TO the point whore Cleveland
brought II In 1884 and 1892. Then Clsve-
land brought his party boldly to the
front and gave II issues OF its own.
To-day Bryan must make his campaign upon .
platform that declares against things that the
people have Just endorsed. In other words.
Bryan will throw the Democratic party
next year back into tho place 1t ooou-
pied from 1880 to 1884. and with mufied
drums ana furled colors the party will
march behind the procession OF expansion and
growth that the people have shown themselves
to favor. Bryan and his party are lighting the
tendencies OF the nineteenth century and the
esrtaintiss OF the twentieth"

Tho frst skin and toilet soap ever manufac-

tlon to soap users. This Is not surprising
when YOU remember that heretofore 1t has
been thought impossible to make soap OF any
kind without fats. grease. oil and alkali. These
ingredients have been the base OF all SOAPS
from time immemorial. and have been col
from incinerating plants which burn the refuse
OF our ctleB; not an agreeable thing to think
OF. but nevertheless true. To DO sure many Of
these are nicely periumed and no doubt made
as pure as possible: but II the alkali Ia strong
enough to kill the grease and oil, IL destroys
and hard ens the skin II the reverse, tho pores
OF the skin become cloRged and disease fol-
lows, all the dicatlOn In the world cannot
prevent it-whnt a delightful change then to
have a soap free from these ingredients and
made from the fragrant, green leaves OF the
Tasmanian Blue Gum Tree. these leaves being
acknowledged BY the medical profession as tho
most harmless. as we'll as the most powerful
germ destroyer and skin purifier known.
