ELEVENTH DISTRICT DEMOCRATS
Several Candidates Talked Of For the
Congressional Sacrifice.


Congressional Sacrifice.
Sioux City, March 24-The demo-
Gratis of the Eleventh district yesterday
moved up toward the center of the
stage and took whirl at the congress
sional prize. The names of State
Representative Will c. Whiting, At
torney j. NJ. Parsons of Rock Rapids.
and Editor Judson c. Welliver, of Sioux
City, were mentioned as likely candi-
dates for the office. Mr.. Whiting is
understood to be receptive candidate
for the honor. Mr. Parsons. who allow
ed himself to be sacrificed two years
ago, has no lightning rod erected.
The boom for Welliver was launch
ed by ]. H. Quick the Eleventh district
chairman OF the democratic state COM
mittee.
Il am for Jud Welliver for con-
gress," declared Mr.. Quick, unless A.
b. Funk should be nominated by the
republicans. I don't suppose Weliver
would care to run in opposition to
Funk Wellver for congress on the
democratic ticket"
Mr.. Quick left 1t open for specula-
ton as to whether or not he was In
earnest.
Upon Mr.. Quick falls the RESPONSE
bility Of calling the congressional con-
vention of the Eleventh district. He
stated that he had not given the mat
ter much consideration, and he did not
know when the democrats would get
together to name candidate for con-
gless.
Not for Me, Says Parsons.
Mr.. Parsons, who was in Sioux City
Tuesday. made it plain that he did not
cure to be a hero again.
"Will you be a candidate again this
year," he was asked.
Not if i know how to get out of it,
he declared with emphasis, and
think l do"
Mr.. Parsons went on to say that he
did not regret the campaign he made
two years ago. He said
Il ran 1000 ahead of my ticket. and
that isn't SO bad. is it?"
Mr.. Parsons said the people of Rock
Rapids were interested in the candi-
oacy of E. C. Roach and would like to
see him named for congress by the re-
publicans. He sail he lived ac-oss the
street from MIR. Roach and knew him
to be a good citizen fine gentleman
and man who in every way would do
the Eleventh district great credit in
the halls of congress.
Roach Feeling Hopeful.
II saw Ed yesterday" said Mr.. Par
sons, speaking of Mr.. Roach and he
was feeling very hopeful. He has been
putting in most of his time lately in
Osceola, OBrien and Cherokee coun-
ties. In fact he does not think it
would be of any use for him to get out
into the reservation
From the way things look now, the
Cherokee convention will be one of the
most interesting ever held in Iowa. In
my opinion Thomas is eliminated at
this very minute, but as to the others,
the race is to any of the candidates"

Never was there time when women

what so annoying as the black heads
and pimples on the face, with the dirty,

them? Life is not worth living, the

unpleasant look of her skin, which she
tries in vain to improve by the use OF

In the system. 1t is sometimes abso-
