kansas, who spoke in the recent general
porter yesterday some interesting phases
of the recent contest in his State.
Il believe" he said. that 1t was the
most important political campaign that has
taken place in any State in many years.
The people fit to discontinue the
services Of Senator James X Jones' What
effect this will have on the future policy
of the National Democratic party remains
to be seen. 1t IS safe to say that It will
at least give the reOrganzationistss much
announcement and may be the entering
wedge that will pry off the two planks in
the Democratic platform of 1896 and le0O
which 1t is claimed by some have been the
main cause Of defeat. However. 1t is a
mistake to believe that the defeat OF Sena-
tor Jones was population Of those planks.
although the successful candidate Is by
no means a rank silver man or a rabid an
ti-expansionist
National issues were seldom brought
out, the chief charge against Senator Jones
being mis- connection with the Round Bale
Cotton Company. which II was claimed is a
trust. But 1t was not this charge that de-
feated the National Chairman, nor was It
the great popularity of Ex-Governor Clark

ing themselves in Arkansas that for the
first time since reconstruction the Democ-
Governor Davis. though t one Of II the S strongest
party men In the State. Is at the same
time one of the weakest candidates that the
field. Though he carried nearly every coun-
ty in the State in his first fight for the
nomination. he was only able to win the
governorSbip by about half the usual Demo-
cratic majority.
The younger element. or 'insurgent' Re
publicans, having won their fight against
Powell Clayton and the old leaders. now
preparing to come before the people with a
strong candidate on whom rests none of
the blame for the horrible conditions that
prevailed during reconstruction days.
In the old days all the Democratic candi-
date had to do was to get on the PLATFORM
remind the people that his opponent be-
longed to the party controlled by Powell
Clayton, and say Boo" then take a nap
To-day things are different. Clayton has
been eliminated. many of the new leaders
are natives of the State. the Democratic
candidate is weak public man. and thou
sands of intelligent people will refuse TO
vote for him this election. as they did in the
last.
truth in the statement made above that for
the first time since reconstruction the De-
mocracy will have n fight on its hands OF
course. the Democrats will win, but it is
never safe to be too confident, especially
with prospect of reduced majorities
AS to the future aspirations of Governor
Davis. it was freely claimed during the
campaign that the Senatorial bee was buZ-
Zins in his ear, and that he had longing
desire TO succeed Senator Berry. Be this as
1t may. 1t was one of the campaign cries
that Senator Jones had been In office too
long. As Senator Berry has also served for
many years 1t may be that the young Gov
ernor considers that he has been in Con-
gress long enough.

ical field in Arkansas-James Jones James

self competent to recommend Wine ol
Cardni to her suffering sisters. It is her
duty to assume this responsibility when shs
knows it will bring others health and hap
piness the same as it brought health and
happiness to her. And who could limit
the good that would be done if every wo-
man would take Miss LAWYERS advice.
Every woman who suffers the terrible
bearing-down aches, sharp, cutting, burn
ing pains, which always result from me1
strud troubles can take Wine of Carddi
now in the privacy of her home. She can
begin the treatment at once without the
delay of seeing doctor or waiting to have
him make an examination. Wine oe
Cardui cannot harm you No suffering wo.
man can take it without being benefited.
The Wine regulates menstruation and ths
perfect working Of this natural health fmc-
ton makes perfect, healthy woman. No
woman suffers whose menses are regular,
and to regulate the menses is the only way
to cure female ills. No woman wants to
submit to an operation. And Wine Il
Cardui is medicine that makes opera
tions for female troubles unnecessary.
Wine of Cardui is medicine you can buy

III direct the affairs Of state, carry on
IL commerce and pursue the proossions
of science and art, but the perfectly healthy
woman is far too scarce There is crying
need for sturdy mothers and active women
who make themselves felt in the home and
out Of it. Women should really prepare
themselves to undertake life's responsible
ties. 1t is not strange that sickness is 50
common among women. The laborious
duties Of the housewife, coupled with the
care Of young children, are too much for the
average woman whose delicately poised
organs are easily upset. And women $
natural modesty keeps them from COM
planning about matters connected with the
organs of generation. They will not tell
the story of their suffering to doctor and
they abhor local examinations and surgical
operations. In this way thousands and
thousands Of women become invalids and
the woman who is healthy and st for every
duty is hard to find. If every woman
knew that Wine of Cardui invariably re-
lieves female weakness when taken as di-
rected there would be fewer sufferers. But
all women do not yet realize that suffering
female weakness is totally unnecessary
when Wine of Cardui can be secured. The
relief of over l 1,000, 900 suffering women by
Wine of Cardui proves this statement.
