FIGHT BETWEEN REPUBS
LILY WHITES ARE STILL LOOK
 ING TO HANNA.
They Will Continue Their Attitude Toward Roosevelt's Alabama Referees Who Are Satisfied
 With the Outlook.

The Republican conference, held in Montgomery Tuesday, from which the Lily Whites were conspicuously absent, served to revive interest in the position of the Lily Whites, or white wing of the party.
 The Lily Whites of Alabama are wait- ing patiently, anxiously for some Repub- lican to oppose Roosevelt for the Presi- dential nomination. They are hopeful that Senator Hanna will announce. With Hanna a candidate, they would line up to a man for the Ohio leader. Every ef- fort would be used by the Lily Whites to send a Hanna delegation to the National Convention.
 The Lily Whites were in complete charge of the last State Republican Con- vention. They announced 1t to be their purpose to make the Republican party in Alabama a white mans party. Negroes were not admitted to the convention hall. No matter if they had registration cer- tificates and the credentials of delegates they were refused admittance The Lily Whites were in the saddle and they ran things to their own liking. They chose a State Executive Committee and elected a State chairman in accordance with their views.
 At this time the position of President Roosevelt on the negro in politics had not been made clear. He announced his disapproval of the Lily White leaders and started out to punish them. He re- moved William Vaughan, one of the leaders, from the office of District Alt torney and he took off the official head of Julian Bingham, Collector of Internal Revenue, another leader. He discredited the State party organization and to dis pense Federal patronage he named three referees, Charles H. Scott of Montgom- cry, J. O. Thompson of Birmingham, and W. F. Aldrich of Montevallo.
 With the great power which this pa- tronage gave them, the referees have been tearing down the work of the Lily Whites. With the friendship of the Pres ident behind them, they have whipped many officeholders into line with the black and tans. This wing of the party Is for representation of all qualified ne- gro voters.
 The black and tans claim that they have now secured control of the State Executive Committee. The lines are for between Republicans. If Hanna ulti- mately becomes a candidate for the Pres idential nomination, the Lily Whites will carry on the fight with renewed enthusi- asm.
 The Lily Whites are chiefly supported by the white Republicans in the hill counties. who have never loved the Re- publicans. The black and tans are made up of the office holders and the quail fled negro voters. The fight between the two factions is on in earnest.
 Republicans who attended the confer ence Tuesday returned to their homes yesterday morning we'll satisfied with their work.

Such words of praise from a person of such high standing must be accepted as unquestionable proof of the superiority of Vinol.
 Do you wonder that our Vinol has such a strong hold upon the esteem of doctors and patients? We know of nothing else that will accomplish such wonderful re- suits; and, remember, Vinol is not a pat ent medicine.
 There are hundreds of old people in this vicinity who need just such a strength maker and tissue-buildder as Vinol Their blood Is thin and sluggish-Vinol will en- rich and quicken the blood and build up the system It Is so much better than whiskey and strong stimulants, which al- ways have a bad after effect and weaken and break down. There is nothing In the world so good for the weak, the aged or the rundown system and to cure a hangfng-on cold or hacking cough as Vinol. and because we know so well what 1t will do We are always ready to refund every cent paid us for 1t if 1t fails to do what we say. Try 1t on our guarantee.

The Little Chevalier.

This is the title of new book by Mrs. M. E. M. Davis, author of 'The Queens Garden" Under the Man-Fig,' etc. H. lustrated by Henry J. Peck. Published by Houghton, Miff1in & Go. Price $15O
 The French regime in New Orleans during the early eighteenth century was by no means lacking in romance. Mrs Davis's new story concerns what befell certain young viscount who came over from Paris to avenge the death of his father, killed in a duel years before. It tells of his encounters with the Little Chevalier, the heir of his fathers dead enemy, his love for that enemy's daugh- ter, his life at the governors court, his adventures with the Indians, and there is a sense of mystery about the Little Chevalier that continually provoke the readers curiosity. The spirit of the time and the place pervades the book and makes 1t a very welcome addition to the authors earlier stories of life in Louisiana and Texas.

A NOTED WOMAN.
COUSIN OF LATE U. s. PRESI-
 DENT ZACHARY TAYLOR,
76 Years of Age, Recommends vinol
 for Old People.

Mrs. Sarah J. Windrom of 429 w. Erie St., Chicago, a member of one of the most distinguished families in the coun- try. cousin of Zachary Taylor, 12th Pres ident of the U. S., and grandniece of All exander Hamilton. who signed the Dec laration of Independence, writes:
 "Vinol is a godsend to old people. I am 76 years old, but I feel active and well today. thanks to the vitalizing eff fleets of Vinol.
 My appetite is all that could be de- sired. I sleep well, and my mind is clear, and l am interested in the affairs of life as I was fifty years ago.
 When I was young cod liver oil was dispensed In a greasy, unpalatable form, and 1t fairly gagged me to get 1t down. Vinol Is so different, palatable and nour- ishing to impoverished blood.
 T feel so much stronger both mem tally and physically. since I used Vinol that feel 1t my duty. as well as a pleas ure. to recommend Vinol as the finest tonic I ever used in my life"
