.BELKNAP PREDICTS
VICTORY IN KENTUCKY
Republican Candidatefor Governor
Sanguine of Success.

According to Col. Morris B. Belknap.
the Republican nominee for the cover
norship Of Kentucky. the Democrats are
not going to carry the State at the com
ing election. the party being as much
divided in the State as it is nationally.
Colonel Belknap arrived in Washing
ton last night. on his way home from
Oyster Bay. where he had a conference
with President Roosevelt Colonel Bel
KNAPP explained the situation in Ken
lucky to the President and asked for
national aid in the coming campaign.
Promises were made him which caused
him TO return South smiling.
The chances for a Republican vic
tory In the Blue Grass State were never
better said Colonel Belknap to a re-
porter for The Times, because OF the
usual war between the Gold and Bryan
Democrats. The Republicans are united
TO a man, and all are working together,
despite reports TO the contrary. Per-
sonally 1 am confident of victory. In
addition to fractional quarrels the Dem
eminent has not been what the people
expected. The Gold Democrats are dis
gusted with the way things have been
going. and a number of the most promi-
nent of them have announced that they
intend to vote with the Republicans. as
they have done in one or two other
campaigns.
We are all hopeful for a victory. II
the Republicans succeed in carrying the
State this November it means that Ken
lucky is going for President Roosevelt

ans believe some of the schedules
should be revised, but they do not think
that there should be any extensive tink-

HOTEL RUNNERS VIOLATING
NO DISTRICT ORDINANCE

'So-called depot porters' are causing
great deal OF annoyance to Joseph
Lesser, who conducts a restaurant in
Pennsylvania Avenue between Sixth and
Seventh Streets northwest In a letter
10 the Commissioners yesterday. Lesser
claims that these porters hang around
the Pennsylvania station and accost in
coming trains which he characterizes
as "a very annoyous business"
Major Sylvester has investigated the
complaint. and facetiously reports that
the police have special instructions to
keep the hotel runners In good stand

QUARLES MAY NOT GET
ANOTHER ELECTION
Former Congressman Stephenson
After Senator's Seat.

According to dispatches received in
Washington yesterday from Wisconsin.
the contest for the, seat in the United
States Senate now occupied by Joseph
Very Quarles has reached critical
stage. and there are those who say that
euaries IS serving his last term Ae-
cording to Tire reports the most powerful
rival OF the Senator Is former Repre-
sentative Isaac Stephenson, millionaire
lumberman, who Is spending his mill
lions literally.
stephenson, Il Is said. is backed by
Senator SpoOner, who since his dispute
with his colleague has had little use for
him. Stephenson also has the backing
OF many Of the other leaders of the
party. and it begins to look as though
Senator Spooner is going TO have an
other colleague.
Former Representative Stephenson is
talking tariff revision. but hardly loud
CROUCH TO be heard beyond the limits
OF his State. He subseribes to the views
expressed by President Roosevelt, how
until after the election. Senator
Quarles is a .'standpatter.~ and is say
ing nothing about the tariff.
An interesting incident was noted two
days ago. which shows Just how closely
the candidates are watching each other.
Il appears that a few days ago Senator
QuaTles, who mas a large farm near
KenOsha. became worried over the short
age OF farm laborers. and with what help
he could get he began 10 cut the hay
crop. Down in Milwaukee former Rep
resentative Stephenson heard runors OF
the doings Of rustic Senator Quarles.
and boarding his big steam yacht he
cruised up to Kenosha, where he has
farm as large as that of the Senator.
Deserving the yacht, Mr.. Stephenson
donned rough farm clothes. gathered
contingent OF farm labOrers. and went 20
work on his grass. The aged lumber
man went around as though a common
workman. experimenting the moving
and the preparations for the harvesting
OF the big fields of wheat which are also
on TIE farm
Though both candidates have eompe-
tent superintendents in charge of their
agricultural interests. and both have net
spent more than week on their proper
ties in five years. there seems TO be an
unusually important reason why the
crops should be garnered just right
this season. OF course, no one suspects
that either Of the statesmen is after the
vote Of the willy husbandman.

Food Strengthens the Mother and

Makes Milk for the Baby.
There are many cases on record where
the use OF the scientific food Grape
Nuts has produced milk for mother
in a few days, so she could nurse her
baby In the natural way.
A case Of this kind is told by a lady
OF Decatur, Ca: When my baby was
two months old had a very disordered
stomach and everything | ate disagreed
with me.
This worried me so and I was so
weak and nervous / was almost a wreck
and had to stay in bed most of the time
and the result was that l had TO put
baby on the bottle. After trying this
for a week the poor little thing did
not thrive and thought she would SIRE
~ die.
Then along came a friend who begged
me TO try Grape Nuts food although
neither she nor / thought IL would
cause me TO have nourishment for baby.
But / concluded to eat Grape-Nuts and
began that same day with good results.
1T was the first food l had eaten
for more than three weeks that had
agreed with me, and | continued eating
IL and gained strength rapidly and after
only two days use OF this food | was
able to nurse my baby and in less than
a week / had taken her entirely from
the bottle.
you can imagine what a pleasure this
is to mother and | am more thank
full 10 Grape-Nuts food on baby's account
than on my own. although incidentally
| must tell you that l have gained nine
pounds in eight weeks" Name given
