UNITE ON WILLARD.

UNITE ON W l4l4AhD.

viewpoint. that Judge Mann would
be the weakest nominee that party
could make. Not that Judge Mann 5

hut because he stands for radical
legislation for the control Ofthc sale
OF liquor, which the party rs a whole
is not prepared To accept as a solu-
ton of that question at this time. 1t
has been the opinion OF those Demo
Gratis therefore. who wish 10 insure
the success of their party in the gen
eral election. that in order To n0ml-
nate a candidate who can certainly
win it would be- advisable for the
party to unite in measure ON Mr..
Willard or Mr.. Swanson. as soon as
the campaign had developed Suilici-
emily to ascertain the relative
strength of these two gentlemen.
The time has come now when tins
should be done. and there are indi-
cations that the tide is beginning to
turn toward Lieutcnant-GOVernor
Willard. To our minds the party
could not make better selection for
its standard-bearer. Mr. Willard
possesses every requisite for the ex-
allied position he seeks. He has the
ability. the courage, the patriotism
and the integrity to make him an
Ideal governor and from a Demo
cratic standpoint no stronger noml-
nation could be- made Mr.. Swanson
has all these requisites also. but ii Is
generally recognized that he has
equally as good "A Job as he is now
seeking; that he reflects credit upon
his district and State in his present
position in Congress. and that his
defeat in the Democratic primary
does not mean that he is down and
out entirely.
Mr.. Wizards defeat means his re-
tirement for a time at least, to prl-
vate life, and the time has now come
when the Democratic candidate
should be selected from the eastern
section of the State, especially as the
selection in this instance insures
Democratic success beyond the per
adventure of a doubt.
A decision has been reached in the
Bowen-LoOmis controversy and the
result is that Secretary Loomisis eN-
onorated after "A fashion and Mr..
Bowen is dismissed from the diplO-
matte service of the country. We
say Mr.. LOOMS was eXOnOrated
after fashion because in the decision
it is declared that Mr.. LOOMS acted
indiscreetly. 1t is more than likely
that the assistant secretary had
more friends at court than did Mr..
Bowen, and then too Mr. Bowen 5 side
was weakened because the witnesses
did not testify as they related mat
tiers to Mr.. Bowen and to that eX-
tent he was misled. Mr.. Bowen will
have many sympathizers because OF
this. and because his record rs a rep
resentative OF the government is un-
assailable.

You Must
Sleep.

If you cannot, it is due TO an
irritated or congested state Of
the brain, which will soon de-
yelope into nervous prostration.
Nature demands sleep, and
il is as important as food; il
is part OF her building and
sustaining process. This period
OF Inconsistencies relaxes the
mental and physical strain, and
allows nature to restore eX-
hausted vitality.
DR.. Miles Nervine brings

soothes the irritation and re-
moves the congestion.
1t is also a nerve builder; it
nourishes and strengthens ev-

A Palatable Demonstration.

Beginning last Monday morning and
continuing all week H. W. Pardue's
grocery store has been popular resort
for epicureans. A practical demonstra-
ton is being given Of the Justly cele-
brated Ferndell preparations. To say
that everything to eat is practically
true in regard to the variety of products
manufactured or raised and prepared
for the market. It is also true
that the preparations carrying their
label are in every way pure and whole
some and there is nothing superior
offered for sale. The demonstration
has been under the personal super
vision of Mrs. A. E. Stinsman, OF
Chicago, travelling representative OF
Sprague, Warner & Company, packers
of the Ferndell preparations. She was
selected possibly because of the fact
that she knows how to improve good
things and serve them in a pleasing
manner and the selection was a wise
one. Each day a separate menu was
prepared and they grew better with
age, like all good things. AS a culi-
nary artist and cateress she is very
clever but it may be that the Ferndell
products helped some.
Mr.. Pardue carries o complete line
of the preparations and has the ex.
elusive agency in this city.
