ssWHAT HAS BEEN MAY BE-"
~Keep Your Eyes Skinned,
Democrats" Says Col
WatterSOn.

There are twelve million votes
in the United States, split pretty
close to even between the TWO
parties. There are two million
more that do uot care a continent
al for either. The party that gets
the heft of these two million votes
carries the country.
Ofcourse we mean the independ-
ent vote. Mr. Tilden got it in 1876
and swept the platter. MIR cleve-
land got it in 1884, and at least
pulled through. He got it again
in 1892. In Mr. Cleveland's case
there was missing ingredient to
start with. In 1884 Mr. Blaine's
character supplied this. In 1897
the Homestead riots. What OF
1904?
tt must be some new man come
TO the front in some one of the
four great determinate States OF
New York, Ohio, Indiana or
Illinois. None of the old aspirants
will serve the purpose. None OF
them can make any serious inclslon

bargain counter. Each of them
will get the strict party vote, no
more and no less. There must be
new blood. There must be fresh

LOdENCE, NJ W., A'oN' No' Ao
I was first advised by our
family physician in Charleston to
use TEETL1NA with our baby when
she was but very young infant,
as o preventive of collie and to
warm ani to swceten the stomach.
Later it was useful in teething
troubles, and its effect has been
found to be SO very beneficial and
so free from the dangers that are
consequent upon the use of drugs
and soothing syrups that we have
come to regard it, afteruse with
three children, as one of the ne
cessities when there is new baby
in the house and until the teethlng
troubles are, and we take pleasure
in recommending it to our friends
instead of the horrid stuff that. sc
many people use to keep tsell
babies quiet.
