DECISION RENDERED.

The Supreme court on Wednesday
decided that the La Toilette ticket is
entitled to the place in the regular Re
publican column on the official ballot.
The court says that the decision Of the
state committee Is final and that the
court has no Jurisdiction The dccis-
ion concludes rs follows
"What the real right OF the matter
IN dispute might be found to be, were
this court permitted to disregard the
decision Of the special tribunal and
investigate and determine the merits
of the controversy from that stand
point, the court has no right to decide
or suggest. Duly constituted author
ity having skolfcn within It's inrisdic-
LiOn, it must be cOnclusiyely presumed
here to have spoken rightly"
The ease now goes to the people,
who, we believe, will declare their
lack Of confidence in both Half Breeds
and Stalwarts and give their votes to
the Democratic candidates.

Hudson True Republican, Dem: In
the disgraceful Republican fight in
Wisconsin both sides cannot be wrong
in their charges. There must be
something to them and they are not
all on one side. The chances are
good that the party was rotten before
1t divided and now that neither half
is any better than the parent stem.
Put that down as good logic. The
party ought to get out long enough to
purify itself. 1t needs fumigatiou and
now is the best time to get it.

REASONS
Why our Vinol is the Greatest
Health Restorer and Strength
Creator Known to Medicine.

Because Vinol contains in a concen-
trated form ALL of the medicinal cur
alive elements found in cod liver oil,
but without drop of oil to nauseate
and upset the stomach; therefore,
wherever old-fashioned cod liver oil or
emulsions will do good, Vinol will do
far more good.
Because we have never sold anything
in our store equal to Vinol to restore
health and create strength for old peo-
pie weak, sickly women and children,
nursing mothers, and after severe
sickness.
Vinol cures hacking coughs, chronic
colds, bronchitis, and all throat and
lung troubles.
A prominent physician writes:
Vinol is the most palatable and
valuable preparation of cod liver oil
yercompounded. Inow use it entirely
in all cases where formerly depended
upon fashioned cod liver oil and
cmulsions.
Try Vinol on our guarantee to return
your money if you are not satisfied.
