 Judge Stiles stated that in denying your right to hear his contest of my nomina- tion, that l am seeking to evade the plaa provided by law governing primary elec- tions This is untrue. am contending to uphold that law, but this primary elec- tion law is supplemented by the general statutes of Alabama, which declare that a contest such as the one now before you, shall be filed before the judge of probate, and that when q contest is so properly filed the contest 1t is to be 'heard and tried' by you. By this method the judge N of probate Is the officer who has the power to issue summons and compel the at tendance of the witnesses. and administer oaths to the witnesses. and to commit them for contempt if they fail to testify before your committed.

The Best Guaranty of Merit
 Is Open Publicity.

Every bottle of Dr. Pierce's world famed medicines leaving the great labo- ratory at Buffalo, N. r., has printed upon it's wrapper all the ingredients alone places Dr. Pierce's Family Medi- cina.s ja q class dll hv themselpes. They canb0t be classed with patent or secret nedlcines because they are neither. This Is why so many unprejudiced physicians prescribe them and recommend them to their patients. They know what they are composed of, and that the ingredients are those endorsed by the most eminent medical authorities.
 The further fact that neither Dr. Pierces Golden Medical Discovery, the great stomach tonic. liver in>igorator, heart regulator and blood purifier. nor his "Favorite Prescription for weak, over contains any alcohol, also entities them to place all by themselves.
 Many years ago, Dr. Pierce discovered that chemically pure glycerine, of proper strength, is better solvent and preserv ative of the medicinal principles resid- ing in our indigenous, or native medi- cinal plants than Is alcohoi; and further. more, that it possesses valuable medicinal properties of it's own, being demulcent, nutritive, antiseptic, and most efficient antiferment.
 Neither of the above medicines con talns alcohol, or any harmful, haDlt- forming drug, as will be seen from a glance at the formula printed on each bottle wrapper. They are safe to use and potent to cure.
 Not only do physicians prescribe the above, non-secret medicines largely, but the most intelligent people employ them people who would not think Of using the ordinary patent, or secret mediciSss. Every ingredient entering into the com position of Dr. Pierce's medicipes hes the strongest kind of an endosemens from leading medical writers Of She several schools of practice.
