Some people with more talk than

with more prejudice than enlighten-
ment, are much concerned because
some preachers are vitality Interested

have never been known to object to
any old saloon keeper interesting him

States and If he has comman sense
enough to choose between two candi-

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO.
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once In three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day. When
healthy they remove about SOC grains
OF impure matter daily. when unheal
thy some part of this impure matter is
left in the blood. This brings on many
diseases and symptoms-pain in the
back. headache, nervousness, hot, dry
skin, Rheumatism, gout. gravel. dis

JUDGE n. WALTER DIXON y
ADDRESSES REPUBLICANS

Judge N Walter Dixon of Pueblo
demonstrated by his speech at the
Opera House Thursday night that he
Is one of the ablest and most eloquent
cies of the Republican party in Colo
RADIO. There was a large assemblage
out to hear him and for nearly an hour
and a half he discussed the questions
which divide the two great political
Organization in the state and nation.
in clear, logical and convincing
way he pointed out their differences
upon those matters that are vital to
the growth and progress of Colorado,
answering all of the questions pro-
pounded by Senator Patterson on the
occasion of his visit to Canon City
week or ten days ago.
Judge Dixon exposed the hollowness
and sham of the leaders of the Demo-
for reform and in their demand for
a "vindication" of their candidate for
the governorship two years ago. The
"vindication" is simply a catch word
to get back into office and is absolutely
meaningless so far as any wrong done
the Democrats by the opposition is
concerned.
Judge Dixon says the court of the
people will decide this fall that Alva
Adams needs no "vindication," but
that the Republicans for services well
performed win its plaudits and will be
continued in office. The Democrats,
according to Judge Dixon, have shown
themselves incompetent to govern
that they would not soon again be in
trusted with its government Its rec
ord In this state" declared Judge Dix
on, has been one OF mastery mac
tivity"
The speaker described Senator Pat
terson as being past master in the
art Of politics and that there was moth
ing he loved so we'll as fight in the
public forum. He was pugnacious by
nature and was actuated as much by
love of fighting as he was for the
spoils OF office He was shrewd, cum
ming and unreliable and was the em-
bodiment of the Democratic party in
this state He was the whole thing
and there were none within the party
ranks to dispute his mastery. ITO
vote the Democratic ticket at this
time" declared Judge Dixon, would
be inexcusable in Republican for II
would be to. endorse the opposition to
President Roosevelt and the policies
he has set in motion. Every Repub-
fican in this state ought to especially
vote for his party nominee for con-
gresham for its candidate for the leg
islature as by so doing they will help
hold up the presidents hands in his
fight for the rights of the people
against the encroachments OF the cor
porations. A United States senator is
to be elected by the Legislature next
winter to succeed Senator Patterson
and Republicans should see to II that
one OF their party is elected to take
his place"
Judge Dixon is an orator and his
address here Thursday night cannot
fail to be helpful in its influence in
this Republican cause in this country.
He paid a magnificent tribute TO Chan
cellor Buchtel, the Republican candi-
date for governor, whom he denomi-
mated an ideal man for chief magis-
trate of the state.
Judge Dixon was frequently ap-
plauded in the course of his address.
