Nominated-Now Elect Him.

EDITOR CALIFORNIAN: - When Candi-
date Kicker. in his short speech after his
nomination last Friday night, loosely
said, 81 hope I'll be elected" his utter
ance involved something more substan-
tial than joke. He might with pro-
priety have added: land it is up to you
to see that everything possible is done
to secure my election"
1t goes without saying that Mr.. Rick
er's nomination was not of his own seek
ing. He consented to run at the earnest
request of a number of his friends, and
his popularity is pretty well indicated
by the fact that he carried the caucus
although but few hours effort was put
into his candidacy.
The nominee of the caucus should be
elected by a handsome majority. 1t is
the right kind of year-a presidential
year-for the republicans of St. Johns
bury to stand Loyalty by and get back
on to their old-time footing, and we
confidently believe they intend to do so.
The caucus-even with its present imper-
feet and risky methods-is the legitimate
battle ground for candidates, and bar
ring extraordinary conditions, the man
there nominated for office has a right to
expect the cordial support Of his party.

Stomach Dosing Will Not Cure.
Only Way to Cure Catarrh il by Breath
ing Hyomei.

Ask any physician if catarrh is blood
disease and he will tell you that it is a
diseased condition of the mucous mem
brane and that it cannot be cured by
blood purifiers, pills, tablets, or other
forms of stomach dosing. The only
sensible and scientific way of curing ca
tarrh is by the use OF Hyomei.
Breathed for few minutes, four or FIVE
times a day, through hard rubber in
ha1er that is SO small that it can be car
ried in the vest pocket, Hyomei will abso-
lutely destroy all catarrhal germs and
cure the disease. Catarrh can never ex-
ist where Hyomei is used. 1t has a two
fold action, destroying the disease germs.
in the air passages and lungs, and
soothing and healing the iEfamed mucous
membrane.
w. B. Eastman, one of the most relia-
BILE firms in ST. Johnsbury is giving his
personal guarantee with every package
of Hyomei he sells, that it will effect a
cure or he will return the money. He
has had scores of reports of remarkable
cures OF both acute and chronic cases of
catarrh by Hyomei.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs $1.OO
and comprises an inhaler, bottle OF
Hyomei and dropper. The inhaler will
last lifetime; and additional bottles of
Hyomei can be obtained for SOC.

The Outlook Encouraging.

Reports from all over the state indi-
cate that while there is no unbounded
enthusiasm politically the republicans
will give Bell and Stearns rousing ma
jority on September 6. The republican
state committee have planned the most
extensive campaign for public speakers
this state has ever seen, and the an
nouncement that Secretary of War Taft
will speak in Montpelier Friday, and
Senator Fairbanks, the candidate for
vice president, at White River Junction
Monday, will bring to each of these
rallies thousands of republicans from all
over the state. The fight in Vermont
will all be over in less than two weeks
and the crucial test of republication
comes on election day when every re.
publican who is physically able to be out
should cast his vote for the republican
state ticket. Remember, it is the vote
on September 6 that counts and not
enthusiasm at flag raisings or applause
at rallies. The ballots the thing and
the real thing.

The Greatest of These Is Love.
A Recensfon and Interpretation.

Written for the Springfield Republican,
To love the Lord our God with all our heart;
To love our neighbor as we love ourselves;
d ,ove an Indngs 20 iove an sous: ; 10 Co.,
And this our life. Without it naught avails.
The tongues of men and angels without love
To know the secrets that the future hides,
To grasp all knowledge, solve all mystery,
With hands of faith to wield the power di-
vine
And move the mountains from their ancient
And yet to miss Gods love. and loveless live,
Is to make failure absolute of life.
With soul un1oving to bestow our goods
Upon the poor, to give to stake and flame
This mortal body, naught of profit brings.
Love seeketh not her own, but lives to give.
Love envieth not. is not to wrath provoked,
But suHereth long. Love vaunteth not itself,
Is not pulled up, doth not unseemly walk;
Of evil taketh not unkind account;
Love hopes all things. believes all things,
and thus
Yea, all endure that Gods high will permits.
Love faileth never. Words of prophecy
Their day attain and slip into the past.
The tongues of man all cease. their knowl-
AS stars are done away by rising sun,
In part we know and speak; our surest
That claim the final truth to phrase are all
But fragments Of an ever.growing whole
The child to man doth grow, and puts away
His childish thoughts and words. And he
that sees
AS in a mirror darkly features dear,
From dim reflection gladly turns to gaze
Upon his well-beloved face to face.
So what we know and do we leave behind,
But faith and hope and love to heaven we
take.
For they make heaven, and are eternal life.
Through them we are at one with that
great God,
Lord of all truth and giver of all good,
Whose greatest name foreverm ore is Love.

EDITOR OF THE CALIFORNIAN,
St. Johnsbury, VT.
SR:-In commenting on Mr.. Walters
statement regarding his negotiation
with me about Democratic advertising,
will make no return fling that he should
'cling to facts" but will state them as
they appear in black and white, and let
the public Judge without need of weigh
ing individual credibility.
August I was in St. Johnsbury, called
at The Republican office, and not finding
Mr.. Walter in, invited bid for this adj
vertising. which speaking from memory,
as 1 preserved no copy of the letter, I
stated to be political" and as he says
named September 2 as the date before
which it was to be concluded.
August 9, at Burlington, received his
reply quoting his price, and Immediately
upon reaching home, August IL, sent him
a draft for the amount.
His letter did state that The Republi-
served the right to reject any or all.
Whether such guarantee is sensible
policy on the part of publisher, it was
certainly within his rights, and made
no objection, because knew the matter
was such that it could not be rejected on
any ground but fear of letting the public
hear the truth. What I did object to,
later, was his keeping the money and
still rejecting.
August - appeared his "Cow-bird''
article in The Free Press, sent in proof
several days in advance of his own publ
cation, denouncing the project. That
also. was, of course, within his right, and
though the hand of the Republican
bosses of the state was evident in the
complain. and I took it for granted that
the return of the draft would at once
follow.
AS days passed without sign of that,
the thing began to have much less of an
honorable look, and waiting nearly a
week to be sure of doing him no injustice,
I concluded that he wouldn't keep that
money and have his howl at the same
time without the public knowing it.
Hence my letter of August 16 in the St.
Adams Messenger.
The next day. August II, I received
the draft, returned by him with letter
dated back to the 15th-even that was
four or five days after his public howl
saying he declined the order. I enclose
to the editor of the CALIFORNIAN the en-
velope, evidently mailed on the night
train, with post Office stamp showing it
as being received in Brattleboro, $50
a. M, August 18th. Whether it was
after he saw or learned of my exposure
in The Messenger that it occurred to him
to return that draft, the reader can
judge. 1 have my own opinion. At
least, it is not true. as he says, that he
promptly refused" the proposed con-
tract" when it arrived"
Respectfully,
G.. III. DAVENPORT.
