 To enrich the blood and increase the red blood corpuscles, Dr. Pierce years ago found a vegetable compound, which he called Dr. Pierces Golden Medical Discov- cry. that would quickly cure the bad symp- toms by increasing the red blood corpus cles and thereby feeding the nerves on rich blood. This Medical Discovery also acts upon the digestion and assimilation of food, 60 that the blood gets its proper elements from the products of digestion. Feed the lungs, stomach and heart on rich red blood and you have surely healthy body which will throw off the germs of disease which turk everywhere. Get as near natures way as you can. medicine made entirely from botanical extracts and which does not contain alcohol is the safest. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery contains neither alcohol nor narcotics

Bankhead's Status.

Another mooted question has been set tied by the announcement by that gentle man himself. that Congressman John H.. Bankhead had not said or authorized any one else to say that he will not be a cam didate for reelection to the post he now holds. For several weeks it has been talked around that Bankhead would re- tire after his present term and let some other man run for the honors he has held so long. Desiring to know if this was so, I wired Colonel Bankhead in Washing ton receiving at once the following re- ply:
 ''No one is authorized to say that l will not be a candidate for Congress in the Sixth district"

Jackson's Long Experience.

Talking about governors calls to mind the fact that the present executive, who will spend much of his summer out of the city, is especially fortunate in his private secretary, J. Kirk Jackson, who has served for many years in the post and knows the duties like a book. He bagan with Seay and worked with all the gov ernors since save Johnston. Governor Oats said while he was in the office that any man could be governor with Kirk Jackson for private secretary.
 MT. Jackson has handled many of the grea test questions that have come up in the history of the state, Gnd has knowl- edge of the wants and needs of the state and it's citizens that no other man could get in many years of seeking. He knows personally large per cent of the citizens and has A number of warm friends in every county. ''The governor need not worry if he has Jackson; he can stay away and feel safe" said a man who knows the other day. And 1t has been suggested that in the years to. come for he Is yet a young man-the people will want to make Jackson governor sure enough.

OTHER POLITICAL GOSSIP
BY HERVEY w. LAIRD.

Montgomery, May 27.-(speeial.) )-There is every reason to believe that my letter of last Monday was pitched correctly in it's indication that Braxton Bragg Conner, president of the Alabama railroad com mission, will be q candidate for the guber- material nomination by the democrats next year. Since it's publication many have ex- pressed the belief that the forecast was reliable and based on what may be re- garded as a safe tip."
 One of the strongest proofs of this is found in the reputed fact that one of MT. Corners good friends wrote him a few days ago and asked what he intended to do in the premises. He was told the story goes, in reply that in good time his friends would be called together to dis cuss what was best and that his actions would be governed by the decision of such gathering. This is the plan adopted when he got into the race for president of the commission. and it worked so well possi- bly, he is inclined to follow it up hop ing that the good fortune will be along in due time

Vandiver Talk.

Along with the talk for men to become | candidates for governor in the future, much has been said about w. F. Vandiver,
 one of the best known citizens of Mont
 gomery and of the state. At a banquet 1 given him a few weeks ago by the Mont- gomery Light and Waterpower company, 1 from the presidency of which he was re- tiring, one of the speakers expressed the l hope that he would one day become the l chief executive of the state. Since that
 time a number of south Alabama papers
 have taken up the idea and have ex- | pressed approval of the idea.
 MT. Vandiver is a very conservative and
 safe man, and would beyond question
 make a successful governor, as he has
 made business man. He knows how to | handle men and to look after large inter-
 ests. On the railroad rate question MT. | Vandiver Is cautious. While he believes that in many cases there are unjust and
 dangerous discriminations, 1t is not his 1 conviction that the railroads are not will l ing to do right when they are made fully acquainted with the situation. Neither is
 he in favor of anything .,Ke a horizontal l reduction in the rates, believing that l where there are discrlminations such a movement would leave them as they are, one community being given the advantage over another As an evidence that there | are corrections to be made in the opinion of MT Vandiver he has just enterprised movement to organize a freight bureau in l Montgomery.
 | Mr Vandver has made fortune in bus | mess, is leader in the Methodist church, and has had much to do with the advance
 ment of Alabama for many years. If called to the high position he would cer- tainly make a good man in the position.

The Other Side.

If this were to happen the next ques- tion would be would Cunningham and Sanford get together. The general impress sion is that while they might to some ex- tent be forced to a working alliance, If the other agreement should prevail, 1t is so well known where Cunningham stands on the rate question that to make any agreement Joking to locating" him would be useless
 Sanford could not help him one whit with the railroad rate reduction people, if he could in some others, and as the is sue would be tightly drawn on this ques- ton were Conner and Cunningham both in the running aid outside that baliwick would be of little real value
 There is another interesting story going the rounds to the effect that Sanford may not make the race for lieutenant gover- nor after all, but have a try at the place of congressman from the Second district, now held by Congressman Wiley. It is well known that he has been urged by some to try, but just. how much strength that urging represented is problematical. Wiley seems to have a pretty firm hold and is spending some of the early spring days in making it firmer, and if the young Trojan has an idea of undertaking the discomfort of the happy and genial gentleman now holding down the old place of Jesse Stallings, he will have to begin pretty soon to erect a few fences.

Probable Combination.

An interesting possibility-I might say probability-of the campaign lies in the race for lieutenant governor Though he has not said so it is generally known that William H. Sanford of Troy. son of the lamented governor. is running already Henry B. Gray banker and aforetime newspaper man of Birmingham has been an avowed candidate for some time. He believes that if one wants something the best way to do is to go out after 1t, and the sooner the people know 1t the better. MT. Gray is from the same county that Lieutenant Governor Cunningham is, and will have to make some alliances of strength outside of those controlled by the said lieutenant governor. It is therefore not at all improbable that if Mir. Conner gets into the fight MT. Gray will align himself with the great rate-reduction ad- vocate and his following. It is understood that in politics MT. Gray has somewhat of a leaning to the Conner plan. which would make it no hard matter for him to be comfortable in his band wagon Of course this idea is speculative, and may never work out, but no one will deny that it has logic in it.

Hero Has a Record.


 Two things will operate against the young naval man in his next race other than what may be thought of his theories about a monster navy. These are his re- marks about MT. Bryan at the last na- tional convention in St. Louis and his at tempt to have MT Hefiin, the democratic nominee for Congress in the Fifth, come down in favor of the republican candidate. It was not that he loved the republican mDre but was afraid that after his re- marks about Booker Washington and the Presdent MT. Heflin would not be safe and useful man. He said at the conyen- tion, when John Sharp Williams referred to the possibility of Bryan again leading the hosts of democracy, God forbid.'
 He may be proud of his utterance but it will cost him votes when he goes out after them in the democratic fold. He will also have a pretty hard time telling how the Fifth district could have been het- tered by sending republican to Congress, especially since MT. Hefiin has proven anything else but an anarchist. There can be no doubt in the world that Captain Hobson is strong and versatile. and that he has many friends in the Sixth, but he win find that with the two instances men tioned to explain and the position he took on the union question annoying him, there will be much more of telling why he did it than before. In other words. he has record now, thing he did not then pos sess a thing that has always proven hard to take care of by men in public life.
 Joe Johnston-What?
 An unplaced element in the present talk of the race for governor, however, Is former Governor Joseph F. Johnston. It Is told that he leads a movement for something better and purer in state poll tics but just what cannot be figured out down here. other than it is supposed that he has an eye out to some sort Of follow ing to the Conner campaign if one should be inaugurated He spent few days at Opelika last week. and as 1t Is known that while the capital of Lee is good place to go, it is not a summer resort. and there has been wonder as to what he was seeking. When it Is remembered, howsver that Hugh Wilson. a long time Johnston man. and at present said to favor MT Conner for the governorsilip. IS a resident

MORMON CHURCH TENETS
Startling ReUeIations of Them in
the Senate SmOOt Inquiry.

Whether or not the Senate Committee
Privileges and Elections, which has just con-
GUIDED the first part of its prolonged inquiry
into the practices of the Mormon Church or,
more properly the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter Day Saints, as its members call it, de-
cides that Reed Smoot, an apostle in that Church,
is entitled 10 a seat in the United States Senate,
the inquiry was not held in vain. From the
revelations which have been made before this
committee the people Of the United States have
had an opportunity to learn great deal about
this religious organization that was not def
rately known before Some Of these revelations
we're startling. It was shown that polygamous
cohabitation was being practised by the rulers
of the hierarchy in defiance Of the law and in
violation Of the promises Of the Mormons made
before Utah was admitted TO the Union: that
officials Of that Church had added to the
number Of their wives since the PRONUNCIATION
Of the Woodruff manifesto: that it was COM
monty accepted in Idaho and Utah that the
Mormon leaders attempted to and did influence
the action Of the legislatures and the nomination
OF candidates for Office; that hundreds Of Nor
mon religious classes met in the public school
houses Of Utah and were taught by the public
school teachers, in disregard Of the State laws;
that many afCrrnons obligate themselves Sc

locks kind is promised to those who violate the
secret oatls % the Church. The hearing each
day produced new sensation. with the result
that many columns Of reports were printed and
read with deep interest
The first revelation vas that Joseph F. Smith,
TIE president Of the Church and a majority OF
tie apostles Of which body Reed Smoot is
member, not only condoned but practised po-
lygamous cohabitation. Mr.. Smith admitted that
eleven children had been born to him by his five
wives since the Woodruff manifesto was issued
In 1890 advising the Latter Day Saints to ire
hain from contracting any marriage forbidden
by the law Of the land" He had had forty-tWo
children, be said, half Of whom We're boys and
the other half girls. He admitted that he was
taking his chances with the law" and could
not consistently advise any of the apostles to
oesist from polygamous practices SO long he
practised the system himself This system, he
declared, he thoroughly believed in. Apparently
be has little to fear from "the law OF the land"
