Sinking Spells, Headaches, Rhaunntism.
All Caused by Poor Blood-Curod by
DIR. Williams Pink Pills.
whon Mrs. Williams WIS asked for
some details of the fearful illness from
which she had so long suffered. she spoke
as follows:
Ever since had nervous prostration,
about thirteen years ago, have had
periodical spells of complete exhaustion.
Any excitement or unusual activity
would throw me into state OF lifeless-
ness. At the beginning my strength
would come back in moderate time,
but the period of weakness kept length
ening until Mt last would lie helpless
as many as three hours at stretch"
"You were under medical treatment,
of course!'
"Ycs, when I became so bad that l
had to give up my housework, in May OF
1903, l was being treated for kidney
trouble, and later the doctor thought my
difficulties came from change of life. I
was not only weak, but had dizzy
feelings, palpitation Of the heart, misery
after eating, hot flashes, nervous head
aches, rheumatic pains in the back and
hips. The doctor did me so little good
that gave up his treatment. and really
feared that my case was incurablo."
what saved you from your state OF
hopclessness?"
I'm July of 1908 had very bad
spell, and my husband came in ono day
with little book which told Of remark
able cures effected by remedy for the
blood. and the nerves, DR.. Williams Pink
Pills. He bought box for me, and
that was the beginning Of my return to
health. My appetite grew keen, my food
no longer distressed me, my nerves were
quicted, and my strength began to re-
yivc."
"How long did you take this remedy"
"For two months only. At the end
of that time l hsd regained my health
and cheerfulness, and my friends say
that am looking better than have
done for the past fifteen years"
Mrs. Lizzie Williams is now living at
No. ii6 Cedar street. Quincy, Illinois.

which Includes Judge y. Walter Dixon
and Mr.. |. n. Stevens, who think they
have personal grievance against

charged with the desire to iniurc that
gentleman politically. The Rcpub.
lican leaders OF Pueblo say that this
grand jury matter Is simply part OF
scheme to prejudice the public mind
against the regular Republican organi.
zation and to assist In preventing the
seating OF Governor Peabody.
In referring TO these alleged frauds
In Pueblo. Chairman Farley Of the
state Republican committee said:
so far as we are Informed there
were extensive frauds committed In
Pueblo county by the Democratic cor.
ruptionists. The Democrats secured
from Judges Dixon and Voorhees, n
large number of warrants. mostly for
negroes, This fact was widely pub.
lishcd and commented upon In the 10,
cal papers and resulted In frlRhtoning
large number OF negroes into staying
from the polls, These judges Rp.
pointed special officers. most OF whom.
" not all. were Democrats. who blus.

THE ASSEMBLY AND
THE DENVER FRAUDS

Denver, Jan. 23.-The Republicans
promised startling developments when
the Legislature undertook the investi-
cation Of the Denver election frauds.
The promise has already been fulfilled.
The contest committee had not taken
evidence more than two days before
the fact was fully established that the
Denver Police Department was seri'
ously and directly involved in the Den
yer election frauds. This fact will un'
doubtedly have an important bearing
upon the decision Of the committee,
inasmuch as Governor Adams brother
is in command of the police machine
Of Denver.
Naturally the Democrats have pro
tested against the whole proceeding,
and with the usual charge of uncon-
stitutionality they have also demanded
delay and protested loudly because
they were not allowed more time, but
inasmuch as the Republican majority
has given the Democrats as much time
as the Republicans have themselves
this complaint will not be regarded
seriously by the public.
Startling Developments.
OF course, the exposure of the enor-
nous frauds in the precincts so tar
examined is an important matter, ana
II points very much toward the seating
of Mr.. Peabody, but the disclosures
that cause the most comment and
which are regarded as the most Sc
rious are those showing clearly that
an organized conspiracy existed anu
that this conspiracy was carried out
by the police department of Denver or
under its supervision.
The Supreme Court has already
looked into the conduct of the election
In eighteen precincts. As result,
forty.three Democratic politicians, n
very large portion of whom are po-
licemcn, detectives, local court oiicers
and other Democratic city officials, are
imprisoned in the county Jail.
The evidence introduced before the
commission established the fact that
Chief Of Police Delaney, who is d.
rectly under the command OF Frank
Adams, president of the police board
and brother of the governor, met
large number of TCpeaters and imper'
senators and nearly onc'half OF the
Democratic crooks who are now IN
jail, at 4 meeting in saloon on TWEEN
tieth street, Just before election. lie
moved around in the crowd Of election
thieves, consulted with nearly all OF
them personally, and made little
speech TO the whole bunch, informing
them of the necessity of carrying the
election for the Democratic ticket. and
according to the witnesses, suggesting
that the workers would be protected.
The men collected in this crowd were
from the very lowest walks OF life.
Four or five of them testified. during
tho first two or three days, and all
were from the slums. some of them ex'
conyicts. The names of the men pres

Scheme That Failed.

The effort OF the Democratic ma
chine TO give the impression that the
Republicans really stuffed these bal.
lot boxes. giving the election to the
enemy, amusing us 1t may seem, has
seriously impressed many Democrats,
but this absurd impression has doubt
less been removed by the testimony
of the Democratic secretary of the
election committee, who cwore that
the ballot boxes had been In the pos.
session OF the Democrats and under
guard by them since the day of cleo
ton.
Governor Adams managers have Sc
cured the services Of several Repub.
lIcan lawyers who have not been per
mitted TO run the Republican party
and who are anxious TO injuro the
state organization. These gentlemen,
with a large array of legal talent
which MIR. Adams has engaged, have
been busily employed in concocting
what might be termed counter dem.
onstrations."

Immediately after the election. when
Il was found that the Republican com
mittcc was going to thoroughly inycs'
tlFatc the election frauds, these hobos
and disrcputoble characters were I'M
modlatcly ordered by the police to
leave town. Many Of them were run
out. but some OF them wanted to re-
main, and II was the persecution.
abuse and violence which these latter
ballot box suffers received at the
hands of the police that induced them
to tell the Republicans what they
knew OF the frauds on election day In
order to secure protection. a very
large portion OF the evidence OF these
witnesses has been corroborated by
Supreme Court watchers and the con
tents Of the ballot boxes.
An EFFORT has been made TO dlscredit
the testimony OF these people by Mt
Adams lawyers and the Democratic
press, but tho fact that they told
straight, stories has been established
In commenting upon this phase OF

tion of the police, using bogus nameA
furnished him from the padded regis.
tration list by the police machine.
When to this evidence is added that
of the Supreme Court watchers, who
report in many instances arbitrary po-
lice interference at the polls, and the
fact that the Supreme Court has sent
such n large number of them to jail
for their lawless conduct on election
day, is regarded as sufficient proof Of
the charge that the Republican com
mittee has constantly made that the
Democratic police machine was re-
sponsible for much of the fraud, and
protected those who committed it.
This contest is simply bringing to
the attention of the people of Colo
RADIO in an official way what has been
known by every citizen of Denver for
several years.
The mere word outrage does not ex.
press the situation. There is abso-
lutely no parallel for 1t in the history
of the country in modern times.
The evidence has shown clearly that
the Democratic election officials were
selected with regard TO their fitness
for committing or permitting these
crimes and above the whole network
of fraud which was spread over large
portion of the city, were those high in
the counsel of the Democratic party
holding the reins.
Every honest Democrat in this state.
as well as other honest people, would
be glad to see these men who organ
lied. manipulated. directed and paid
for these crimes against the ballot
snugly ensconced in Jail with the
Democratic policemen, detectives and
dope fiends whom they employed to
do the actual work.
