Believes Democrats viii Get
Control Of Government
IS CHAIRMAN OF COMMITTEE
Says Refusal of Republicans to Permit
an investigation of the Depart
ments Shows Bad State
of Affairs.
BY wArrERsoN sTEALEY.

Washington. April 7.-(Special. )-Repre-
sentative William Strother Cowherd Of
Missouri. who was tonight elected CHAIR
man of the democratic congressional COM
mittee. which will manage the congress
sional races at the approaching election,
is now serving his fourth term in the
house. His district Is heavily democratic
and he will be able to devote his entirs
time to the management of the CAM
paign He is a good politician and is the
best man on the committee for the place.
I'm my opinion the democratic party
has a most excellent chance of winning
10th houses and the presidency at the ap-
rroaching election" said Chairman Cow
herd tonight. Every observing man has
noted the general feeling of political un-
rest which has spread over the entire
country. While it is true this is not con-
fined to republican states, 1t is also true
1t is the party in power that always SUI
fers from such conditions.

Public Would Be Shocked.

1.-The refusal after the publication OF
the scandals in the postoffice and interior
departments to permit any investigation
of the same, except such as is carried on
under executive control where there Is
given to the public only such matters as
the heads of the republican artpy may
deem best, is conclusive proof that the
leaders Of that party recognize that con-
ditions in those departments are so bad
that the public would be shocked by an
exposure of the facts.
Confronted with these conditions, be-
lieve the democratic party at st. Louis
will put forward both platform and a
candidate worthy of the support of all
good democrats. and that the country
will be only too glad to intrust again to
that party the management of its af-
fairs"

RooseveIts Personality Costly.


1.-The personality of President Roose-
welt, who, as every one knows, will be
the nominee of the Chicago convention,
will cost his party thousands of votes in
doubtful states. He Is as much distrust-
ed in New York and Massachusetts as he
is admired in wyoming and Dakota, and
for the same reason. While many men
delight in his impetuosity, the thought
full citizen prefers other qualifications for
the head of great government
A prominent republican said to me not
long ago that no conservative man in all
the east could sleep soundly at night for
fear of the news the morning papers
would bring from the white house.
"The stand pat do nothing policy OF
this congress has not met with popular
approval There are many important
questions of which the country was ex-
pecting legislation, and 1t will not be
satisfied with the suggestion that 1t Is
good politics before a campaign to do
nothing to fear you may do wrong.
This is becoming to large manufactur-
ing and exporting country to submit long
er to a prohibitive tariff.

People Are Disappointed.


"The republican would have been de-
feated two years ago except for the be-
lief among business men that reason
able revision of tariff duties would be
made by that party Today every one
understands that the republican party
dare not touch any tariff duty and that
a revision can be hoped for only through
democratic congress. The minority
leader Mr.. Williams, struck responsive
cord In the hearts of the people when he
came out bodily forCanadian reciprocity.
The mills In the border states are anxious
to saw Canadian logs and grind
out Canadian grain and our factories
have discovered that our northern neigh
Dor Is rapidly becoming good customer.
.To these cogent reasons for democratic
victory should be added the absolute re-
fusal of the republican party to permit
any investigation of the great depart
ments at Washington even after 1t had
been conclusively proven that corruption
is running riot there.

MllIlonalre's Poor stomach.

The WORKOUT stomach of the over-fed
millionaire is often paraded in the pub.
lie prints as a horrible example of the
evils attendant on the possession of great
wealth. But millionaires are not the
only mes who are afflicted with bad
stomachs. The proportion is far greater
among the toilers. Dyspepsia and indi
gestion are rampant among these people
and they suffer far worse fortunes than
the m~illionaires unless they avail them
selves ola standard medicine like Green's

ite household remedy for all stomach
troubles for over thirty-fve years. Au'
