Advice of a Friend.

Advice of a Friend.
"I was going. into an unnatural de-
cline,'' says Mrs. Charles Lavigne, of
No. 1917 Third avenue, Detroit, Mich.
ssand my health was seriously low when
I began using DIR. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People. They cured me.
: "I was weak and thin, nervous and
without appetite, took cold easily and
was afraid of consumption. I could not
sleep, was always tired and worn out,
my color all went away and felt mis-
cradle.
"Good doctors treated me but failed
to do me any good and was dis.
couraged about ever getting better until
friend told me of DIR. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People. began to take
them and kept on till had used three
boxes.
"By that time was an entirely
different person. The nervousness had
all gone. could eat and sleep, gained
in weight and felt strong and well. My
friends began to remark on the color in
my cheeks and told them DR.. Williams

ago but from thas day to this I have
retained my health and strength

The chairman of the county republican
committee recently sent each town re-
publican committeeman a letter asking
them how their town stood on the ques-
tion of governor. The answers from ev-
cry town in this county showed gen.
eral sentiment in favor of c. J. Bell for
governor
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1904-05-11

The year 1904 is one of the times when
this county has candidate for governor
and the CALIFORNIAN does not need to
introduce to its readers Hon. Charles J.
Bell of Walden, who is ackno wledged
even by the friends of the other candi-
date to be the leader in the race. 1t is
an honorable ambition to become can
wealth and Mr.. Bell possesses in a
marked degree those sterling qualities
which contribute to the successful per-
Torrance of the chief executives duties.
Vermont is primarily farming, state
and it has been many years since a tiller
Nof the soil has been a candidate for gov
ernor. Besides thorough kno Wedge of
the agricultural interests and needs of
the state, Mr.. Bell has become familiar
with the corporate interests OF Vermont
mission. And he is no stranger to the
methods of legislation as a term in the
state senate brought him in close touch
with the lawmakers. But best of all, he
is a member of that great branch of
humanity called the common people, and
of whom Lincoln once said he guessed
the Lord loved the common people the
best as he made so many of them. There
is no cant or hypocrisy about Mr.. Bell.
He states frankly that he is a candidate
for governor, and with refreshing frank
ness has outlined his own platform. The
principal features of this platform are as
follows: The need of reform in taxation
and the necessity of legisla ton that will
compel all property to pay its just
proportion of taxes; the pressing need of
permanent highways; government aid
1ation to protect both the producer and
consumer from frauds through substitu-
ton of spurious and adulterated food
products for genuine goods; the need OF
closer scrutiny of state expenditures;
more rigid economy to the advantage OF
taxpayers without injuring the interests
of the state.
The candidate and his platform are all
right, and in another column will be
found endorsements of this man. He
will go into the convention with the
solid support of his county and with
strong support from all sections of the
make good and conservative governor
| and a man whom the people will delight
to honor.

Looks Favorable for MIR. Bell.

There is quite an active movement in
Vermont to get Joseph A. DeBoer OF
Montpelier into the republican race for
governor. Mr.. Deboer is a strong man,
and the fact he is not seeking the Office
ought not to bar him from consideration.
It is refreshing in these days to see the
Office seeking the man. Mr.. Deboer,
however, positively declined to be a
candidate early in the winter, and has
not indicated any change of mind.
Meantime, Charles J. Bell, the head OF
the state grange, is said to be mastering
a numerous following, especially among
the farmers, but also including many OF
the leading politicians, and just now is
ahead OF the other aspirants for the gov
ernorship. P. w. Clement may and may
not cut a figure in the state campaign
this year. 1t seems to be taken for
granted that he has some scheme on foot
and will seek recognition in the state
Observation-Disclosures Republican.
MIR. BelI's Platform.
c. J. Bell declared his platform in adj
vance of them all. Last fall in his adj
dress as master of the State Grange, he
outlined his position regarding state
issues very clearly. He declared very en-
phatically for better roads and a wisely
spent tax. As regards giving the local
option law fair trial, the candidate OF
the Republican convention will be bound
by the position taken by the party in it's
platform. Bellows Falls Times.
vermont's Next Governor.
We believe that in c. ]. Bell we have a
man who, while he is strictly a farmer,
is a man strong in mind, strong in
character, and strong in his interest for
the farmers of our state. as well as all
other state interests.-[ Lamoille county
farmer in Morrisville News and Citizen.
The People Want Bell.
And still cry for DeBoer. Why The
politicians of the state evidently don't
want c. J. Bell for Vermont's next gov

THE PLAIN MIR. SMITH.
Admits His Practice of POIyra
my in Defiance of Law

? Washington, March 3.-Attor.
neys for the protestants in the
Smoot investigation today stated
that they intend to prove that
the defendant is associated with
hierarchy which practices polv.
gamy and connlves at violations
oil the law and that his vote as a
senator Of the United States is
SUBJECT to the wish and comman d
OF the Mormon church. Presi.
dent Joseph f. Smith confessed
that he himself had continued 70
cohabit with his plural family
since the manifesto of 1890 and
that he realized fully that he was
violating State laws. President
Reed SmoOt had to get the con-
sent of his associate apostles IN
the church before he could be.
come a candidate for senator.
The confession of president
Smith was the sensation of the
proceedings today before the sen.
ate committee on privileges and
. elections. Mr.. Taylor of counsul
Tor the protestants was directing
his questions to ascertain how
the church regarded polygamous
cohabltation. Mr.. Smith said it
was realized that such cohabita-
ton was contrary to the law and
he went further to say that the
manifesto had left HIM and 9TH
ers with plural families in the
unfortunate situation of being
compelled to defy the law or de-
sert their families. For himself
he said, he had preferred to TAX e
chances with the law" rather
than disgrace himself and de
grade his family by abandoning
his wives and children they had
borne HIM. He admitted thai
be had had children by ali Of his
five wives since the manifesto
and said he had acknowledged
them openly withoutInterference

Japanese Raise Money.

1t is proposed by the Japanese
of New York to raise $5,OOO,OOO
to aid their home country in it's
war with Russia. The New York
World says that while this sug-

prise because of the size of the
gift contemplated, there is no
doubt of their ability to finance
their patriotism to the extent
promised. The World adds :" The

THE BUTCHERS UNION.
1t Withdraws From the Chicago Pack
ing Trades Council.

Chicago, June 13.-In order to
free themselves from the yoke of
sympathetic strikes, which their
leaders have determined menace
their progress, all the union butchers
affiliated with the Chicago Packing
Trades Council withdrew from that
body Sunday The butchers who be-
long to the Amalgamated Meat Cutters
and Butcher Workmen of America
number about $4,000 men in the Chi
cago packing houses alone.
They were the originators of the
packing trades council, which was
made up not of the butcher workmen
alone. but of ali the other trades in
the yards.
The packing trades council passed
out of existence at a meeting Sunday
when the officers and representatives
Of the 80 butcher workmen's local
unions announced the decision of the
organizations to withdraw and form
an exclusive central body of their own.
The unskilled trades and trades in the
former council not affiliated in any di-
rect way with the butcher workmen
are thus left to their own resources
and will be without the assistance of
the butchers who form the bone and
sinew of the union organization at the
stock yards, in negotiating future con
tracts or settling future disputes with
the packers.
