WISCONSIN POLITICS.

Wisconsin's political pot Is boiling
as II never boiled before. For years
the Badger state was considered M
safe and sound NJ the great Empire
state or any other OF the great con-
servative states Of the nation. While
waves Of populism swept over the
far western states the people OF Wis
consin pursued the even tenor Of their
way undisturbed. But peace has
departed; and strife has come. A
great political ruction is In progress
throughout all the borders OF our
commonwealth. Good citizens who
have not taken sides In the great
factonal fight which has caused all
the disturbance must wonder what II
IL oil about. The Milwaukee Journal
which has reviewed the campaign
from day to day with impartiality and
conscientious care, says:
"At the bottom of MI this strife
and turmoil In Wisconsin politics
lies this fact politics has become a
material question; 1t Ii u commercials
ism abiding no principles and listen
ing to nothing but which interest shall
win the advantage, Taxation Is not
argued on the lines OF reason, but OF
gain, whether this or that pays
enough or too much. 1t Is not n
matter Of the rights Of the citizen
which Is to decide the primary
election, but the effect In holding
personal or party power. 1t Is not
what the right or justice Of reforming
the tariff may be, but whom will it
hurt or save. A politics based on
gain and loss has completely sup
planted one OF principles.
GOOD citizens should inform them
selves rs to the why and wherefore Of
this political eruption, and meet the
facts, which lie not iac below the sur
face. There have been, there are
today corporation abuses. II no
disposition Is shown to correct Them
things will become worse before they
grow better. Real radicalism APP
peared TO have passed over Wisconsin
when 1t lodged among some OF our
neighbors, But IL Is not experience
that the man who comes down with
disease last gets tho mildest form OF 1t,
Let us have good Democratic
platform and ticket, and then let the
people OF Wisconsin turn from the
warning Republican factions, and
register majority Of votes in favor
of the Democratic candidates. Then
peace will return.

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

Because Vinol contains in concen-
trated form ALI. of the medicinal cur
alive elements found in cod liver oil,
but without a 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-
ple, 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
ever compounded. Inow use II entirely
In all cases where formerly depended
upon old-fashioned cod liver oil and
emulsions."
Try vinol on our guarantee to return
your money If you are not satisfied.
