Sc ator Bacon, Of Georgia, says he
thinksathe Democrats have good
chance to win the coming election,
and that conservatism should rnle not
only in the making of the platform at
ST. Louis but in the selection of the
candidate.
There should be the most pro
nounced conservatism in every utter
ance and action of the convention, says
the senator. Conservatism should be
its most prominent,characteristic in all
its work. We should have a thorough
ly conservative man at the head of
the ticket, one recognized and con
coded by all to be such and couserv-
alive platform in thorough harmony
and accord with the character and re-
cord OF sach a candidate Present
business and financial conditions
should be recognized, and such
changes and referm as may be neces-
ssry should be undertaken in such a
conservative manner as not to disturb
or unsettle the business Of the coun
try, and the man selected should be a
Democrat whose record and known
cha; scter would be guarantee of hi,
conservatism. The candidate should
be in himself safe, conservative plat
ferS.
l believe that we should 60 before
the csuntryin the attitude of con
servative policy respecting the tariff
OF csnrse, tho trust question will
enter into the political contest of this
year, but upon this also, the Dem o.
Gratis should be conservation, aud en-
deavor in no way to injure Legitimate
business interests while trying to
reach unlawful enterprises. Extrava-
giant expenditures must also neces
srily ester largely into the ap proach-
ing campaign.

Young Plants

Every farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
others. Soil may be the same
and seed may seem the same
but some plants are weak and
others strong.
And that's the way with
children. They are like young
plants. Same food, same home,
same care but some grow big
and strong while others stay
small and weak.
SCOTS Emulsion offers an
easy way out of the difficulty.
Child weakness often means
tlrvation, not because of lack
{ food, but because the food
Toes not feed.
SCOTS Emulsion reaIIyfeeds
nd gives the child growing
..cHg h.
Whatever the cau-- weak
l~s5 and failure 10 grow
SCOTS Emulsion seems 20 find
it and set the matter hight.
