Republican Candidate BIames
 Him for Breathitt Troubles
TRAGIC POLITICAL EVENTS
States Record Is RepuIsive and Reek- Ing With the Foul Atmosphere of Dungeons, Prostituted to
 Perjury and Fraud.

Munfordville, Ky, Sept 12.-In the presence of several thousand people the republican state campaign was opened here today by Col. Morris B. Belknap, candidate for governor The party lead CTS were in attendance and other candi- dates on the state ticket delivered short addresses. Special trains brought large crowds from nearby cities.
 Colonel Belknap's speech dealt mainly with the pardon record of Governor Beck ham, which he asserted was in the main responsible for the lawless condition pre- vailng in Breathitt and other counties. Taylor contest and cited alleged perver- sions of the election machinery by the democrats. He said in part
 The dramatic and tragic panorama of political events in our state for four years is one from which we instinctively turn away. It Is heavy tragedy with the slime of untruth clinging to its garments. Re- pusive and reeking with the foul atmos- phere of dungeons, 1t displays a body prostituted to perjury and fraud" Breathitt Pardons.
 Referring to one of the more noted of the Breathitt county pardons, Colonel Belknap said:
 Perhaps Raleigh was innocent of hav- ing voted any other than the democratic ticket. Raleigh was the man convicted of killing a little girl in Breathitt county, and was pardoned by MT. Beckham. Your governor, by pardoning this miscreant, has shown that he thinks the brute who would Improperly accost' your daughters and then shoot them like dogs, Is fit af- ter 8 few years punishment to enjoy the full privileges of citizenship
 "rhe tables of pardons granted during the last three administrations and sub mitted to the public by the governor In defense of his record is an interesting one, although conspicuously incomplete. Still 1t shows that at least 1125 convicts have been set free in eleven years. Those paroled and not counted would easily carry the number to 1200.
 How He Would Act.
 'Mr. Beckham has asked me in the event of my election if I would pardon Howard or Powers or either of them. answer in the words of Lord Coke: When the case happens I shall do that which shall be fit for a judge to do.' "
 Turning to the trials of the alleged assassins of Goebel, Colonel Belknap de- clared:
 'The trials that have been so far con ducted with partisan juries and perjured testimony leave justice unsatisfed. No such traversites can fool the mass of the intelligent people, and once again they demand that facts which they have reason to believe are being concealed for political purposes, and which are vital to the truth in this case. be divulged"

kd IsS NETTIE NIEMANN. White M Mound. Wis, writes: The Peruna Medicine Co.,, Columbus,
 Ohio:
 "l have been afflicted since child hood with a most unpleasant catarrh of the head. Nothing 1 did seemed to cure me and when 1 caught cold my troubles increased. While visiting a friend learned the real value of Pe- runa. hae often heard it praised, but never paid serious attention to 1t. My friend, however, had been cured of catarrh by Peruna and decided to use it faithfully and await results. am glad to say that my greatest ex- pectations were realized and l was surprised to find how readily was cured and how speedily. Within a month all the catarrh was out of my system and have not been troubled a particle since. l do recommend Pe- runa for catarrh.'-Mss Nettle Nell mann.
 Catarrh of the head Is liable to spread to other organs. It is the direct cause of many severe stomach Arrangements Catarrh of the stomach and nervousness go hand in hand.

Jerry B. Sullivan Starts His Cam-
 paign for Governor
TALKS OF TARIFF POLICY
Democratic Candidate Pays His Re- spects to the Republican Party and Gives His Views on the
 Money question.

Denison, la, September 2.-Jerry B.. Sullivan. democratic candidate for gov ernor, opened his campaign here today. Governor Cummings was taken severely to task for not standing by his former attitude on the tariff question. MT. Sul- lcan said in part:
 The tariff policy of the United States Is selfish one. It's promoters are men who believe in upholding their own for tunes. They are not looking after the interests of the farming and producing classes although nearly 70 per cent of the export trade of the United States is the product of agriculture. All tariff laws should be enacted on a strictly revenue basis. Any other theory of levying taxa tion Is contrary to the letter of the con- stitution and to the spirit of free institu- tions. Congress is and ought to be with out power to tax you for my benefit.
 Tariff Creates Monopoies.
 The tariff aids in creating monopolies, and Is the basis of all trusts. The trou- ble is and has been that our people have not yet given to the trust question the attention it deserves The inevitable con- sequence of combinations is the ellmina- ton of competition
 ''The republicans say that the money question is settled and wish to keep from your minds all reference to 1t. It may and 1t may not be settled. depending upon the point of view from which you look at it. The democracy ever has been and ever will be in favor of a stable and sound currency. It Is as much opposed to trust in money as it Is to a trust In the products of labor. It is the fundamen- tai principle of the democratic party that the money of our party should be under the control of the general government, and in quantities sufficient for all prac- tical purposes Our friends, the enemy, are unwilling that the people should con- trol the money, but wish corporations and banks so to do.
 Question for Democrats.
 'Do you fully appreciate that system of statesmanshp which wishes to engraft on the law of our country a statute per- hitting a ten-dollar bill to be based upon the assets of some defunct bank and is unwilling to have the ten-dollar bill based upon the silver bullion of our country? Which asset would you prefer? That of the bank in the hands of a receiver or silver bullion in the vaults of the United States? Such is the intention of the Fow- Ter bill. The Aldrich bill is along the same line, but step in advance. The repub- licans say they point with pride to the course they have pursued in the Philip pine islands. The pride they may feel is not the pride I wish. I do not believe an American army should be stationed anywhere for the subjugation of a free people, not even in our own lands. The people in the Philippine islands are able to govern themselves"

This leads to a complete demoralization of the digestive and assimilative organs, and bloodless condition of the nerve centers ensue Nervousness Is the result; fretfulness, irritability, worry, complain ing-all of these mental conditions re- suit from starved nerve centers.
 The only cure is to remove the catarrh- al condition of the mucous membrane.
 Peruna Is the remedy that will do this.
 Peruna Is not a nervine nor quieting medicine. Peruna cures just the condi- tion-catarrh.
 Peruna cures catarrh of the internal organs, and the nervousness disappears.
 The more nervines one takes for ner- vousness the more nervous he is. There is always a cause for nervousness. This cause should be discovered and remedied. Nervines are unnecessary. Peruna has
