vision was not different from the practice
in fifteen or twenty other states. II,
therefore. the laws should be held Invalid
in the Kentucky case, The laws bearing
upon the question IN those states also
would be affected
II the state had provided proper mode
of procedure. II the election law was con-
stltuuonal, there could be no Legitimate
criticism of the method Of application ana
in that case the Federal court was clearly
devoid Of Jurisdiction, Error Of this char
acter could not give this court jurisdic-
ton.
Mr. McQuown argued for the final ana
exclusive jurisdiction of the legislature IN
contests OF this character This WAS the
rilla and IL was Intended that II should be
when the constitution was adopted and
the laws enacted. He also contended that
the Federal court had no right to inyesti-
gate or question the motives of the legis-
lature In It's decision Of the governorship
case-no more right than IL would have TO
inquire into the motives Of congress In the
enactment OF any statute. He said that 100
witnesses had been heard by the contest
board, more than 100 Of whom were in
troduced In Taylor's behalf II was, there
fore, TO be presumed that the legislature
had not only acted IN good faith, but upon
proper knowledge OF he facts in the case
The supreme court had in other caseS
decided that IN case Of abuses by the logis-
lature Of such trusts as that Imposed In
this instance the only resort was to inc
ballot and not to the courts. He also dis-
cussed at some length Governors Taylor

WE MUST REPEAT.
When Everybody in Montpelier Tells
the Same Story.

When the back aches Ills the kidneys

Few people know this.
Neglect the aches and pains of the
back.
And you'll learn all about it.
Don't wait until tits diabetes or
worse.
1t is hard to say new things about
Doan's Kidney Pills. They cure the
lame and aching back, the sufferer
from kidney disordes and the troubles
of those whose urinary organism is
wrong in its action. That they do
this is 80 easy to prove that not ia ves-
tige of doubt remains. Public endorse
ment of local citizens is easily proven.
Read this case:
Mr.. Henry p, Snow, of 1T Elm
street, says pain across my kidneys
came on and stayed two or three days
and then went away, but each attack
was worse and lasted longer. This
kept on until l made up MUD to do
something and l got Doan's Kidney
Pills at Lester H Greene's drug store,
as had heard them highly recommend
ed. l began using them as directed
and when l had used about two-thirds
OF the box the pain left me. l have
only had one or two slight attacks

SUNDAY Disturbance

Every one was sorry for those people
in church last Sunday who were suffer
ing with distressing cough. A full
dose of Downs Elixir on going to bed
at night and small doses during the
day will cure the most severe cough.
Whenever there il a tickling sensation
in the throat take few drops of the
Elixir on the tongue and let it run
slowly down the throat, and immediate
relief will follow. We, the undersign-
ed, druggists, agree to refund the
money if it does not cure any cough
cold, whooping cough, or throat trouble.
