fine his position on the question of q
senatorial primary next year, replied

democrat in East Tennessee ought to
have as much voice in choosing sena

Tennessee.
among the provisions in that law
was one that the expense should be
borne by the state or the counties, and
the expense of the general primary I
have suggested ought to be borne by
the democratic organization. To re-

$40, 900 for the privilege of seeking an
Office would debar every man from be-
ing a candidate who did not have plen-
tip of money himself or some powerful
interest who would put up the money
for him. A majority of all the votes
cast in the primary should be necess-
sary to nominate.

Why Suffer From Rheumatism

Why suffer from rheumatism when
one application of Chamberlain's Pain
Balm will relieve the pain? The quick
relief which this liniment affords make
rest and sleep possible, and that alone
is worth many times its cost. Many
who have used it hoping only for a
a short relief from suffering have been
happily surprised to find that after
awhile the relief became permanent.
