Wisconsin in convention The dele
gates fairly went wild in their
enthusiasm, many standing on
chairs, waving hats and fans and
applauding the mention of the name
of this rising Wisconsin statesman.
1t was many minutes before order
was restored, and when quiet again
prevailed it was moved to make the
nomination by reclamation. this was
carried UNANIMOUSLY, amid another
storm of applause, and Robert M.
LaFollette, who was beaten twice
| before for this nomination, who has
been the most hated man in Wiscon-
sin politics, by the old machine
leaders, whose fearlessness and
honest efforts won for him q
hearty support was UNANIMOUSLY
nominated by the united Republi-
cans of Wisconsin.
His speech Of acceptance was
wonderful, not modified as some
thought it would be, as corr, ano
with a desire for the endorsement o.
all the principles he has so pre-
sistently battled for. A great
occasion with Il name well worthy
| of If.

Broken Bric-a.Bracs

Mr.. Major. the famous cement man. of New
York. explains some very interesting facts
about Majors cement.
The multitude who use this standard article
know that is it many hundred per cent. better
than other cements for which similar claims
are made. but great many do not know
why. The simple reason is that Mr.. Major
other manufacturers do not use them be-
cause they are too expensive and do not allow
large profits. Mr.. Major tells us that one of
the elements of his cement costs S.. rs pound
and another costs 81 Is gallon, while a large
share of the So-called cements and liquid
glue upon the market are nothing more than
SiXteen-cent glue, dissolved in water or citric
acid, and. in some cases, altered slightly in
color and odor by the addition of cheap and
useless materials.
Majors cement retails at fifteen cents and
twenty-five cents bottle, and when dealer
tries to sell substitute you can depend upon
1t his only object is to make larger profit.
The profit on Majors cement is as much as
any dealer ought to make on any cement.
And this is doubtly true in view of the fact
that. each dealer gets his share of the benefit
amounts to over $1,000 a month throughout
the country Established in 1876.
Insist on having Majors. Don't accept any
otfhand advice from a druggist.
If you are at all handy {and you will be
likely to find that you are a good deal more SO
than you imagine) you can repair your rub
Der boots and family shoes. and any other
Der Cement and Majors Leather Cement.
And you will be surprised at how many dol
ltfS a year you will thus save.
III your druggist can't supply you, it will
be forwarded by mail; either kind. Free of
postage.

anxious to meet the Rockbrldge Senator,
since 1t was said by some mutual acquaint-
ances that the statesman from Rockingham
would lose his position as the biggest man in
the Senate when DR.. Johnston was was seat
ed. Many Senators and Delegates crowded
about the two to make the comparison. Mr..
Keezell heaved sigh OF relief. He oould
look over the head OF the Rockbridge gen
tleman. The bystanders laughed and hur-
rshed for Keezell. Then Mr.. A. G. Feather.
stone, OF Lynchburg, son on Captain ]. G.

bridge. Senator Barksdaie's ear was on q
