Republican Candidate Scores Sweeping
Victory Over Thayer.

The republicans won almost as sweep,

two years ago, the pluralities being far
greater than in the off year, and com
pairing very favorably with the high
tide of votes that swept the state in
1904. The entire state ticket, the five
congressman and almost as many seats
in the senate and house as they held
at the session of the general assembly
were captured by the republicans. May

were nominated for the same office.
Local contests, chiefly those for sheriff

losses were offset by the solid party
vote polled in the country districts.

Feed the Brute.

Here is some Of Walter Williams Is
kindly philosophy:
"He may be just tired. True, he is
cross and you are inclined to spank him
but he is a man and not a baby and
so YOU cannot. The real trouble is ia
tigue, not bad temper or, rather, 1t IS
bad temper caused by fatigue. That $
tie cause of his crossness. Maybe the
fatigue comes about through his work
for you. 1t is impossible to keep keyed
up 10 the highest pitch all the while.
No man can keep always at high ten
sion. When the string says in the yio-
lin it is not surprising that the music
"He is Just tired. That 5 the cause
of his moral obliquity. No man can so
clearly see the difference between right
and wrong when his body is fatigued.
Sipfulness is sometimes the result of
physical fatigue as well as of moral
turpitude. He should be punished of
course-and will be-for his wrong-do-
ing, but his tiredness is mitigating
circumstance.
"That tired feeling should be taken
into account in all the judgments which
men pronounce upon men. The harsh
mes of many criticisms would be soft
ened to the gentlest rebuke if it was
recalled that when bodies get tired the
erect extends to brains and hearts and
words. Most anybody can be good and
sweet and gentle when all the physical
nature points to exaltation, but when
the physical man is down in the dumps
it is more difficult. Feed the brute. "

Reservation Bill Needs Help.

A recent meeting in Boston, presided over
by ex Governor Rollins Of New Hampshire
was attended by many men OF influence who
are interested in having the White mountains
made into q national forest reserve through
the action Of congress. It appears that this
movement has become allied with another
which aims to preserve the Southern Appala'
chan mountains. For these two reserves
50, 600, 600 is required one.third Of which is
intended to apply to the White mountains.
This matter is Of practical moment to this
part Of the state in that it vitality concerns
the Connecticut river. Low water there is an
important matter as affecting the mills at
Holyoke and elsewhere within the state. Con
necticut is also interested. in that the sailing
Of vessels from there has become much more
difficult than formerly because the water
comes down the river in a very uneven now,
insomuch that when the mills above close

The harbor nj Hartford is also said to be
filling in. II is urged that pressure be
brought to bear upon the members OF con,
gress from this state, New Hampshire and
Vermont to help along the reservation bill
This has passed the senate and has been
unanimously recommended for favorable &C

The Ideal Family Laxative

Is one that can be used by the entire family
young and old, weak and strong, without any
danger Of harmful effects. 1t should have
properties which insure the same dose, al
ways having the same effect; otherwise the
quantity will have to be increased and finally
lose its effect altogether. These properties
can be found in that old family remedy,
Brsndreth's Pills. because its ingredients are
of the purest herbal extracts, and every pill
is kept for three years before being sold,
which allows them to mellow. We do not be-
lieve there is a laxative on the market that is
so carefully made.
Brandreth's Pills are the same fine laxa'
tive tonic pill your grandparents used. They
have been in use for over a century and are
sold in every drug and medicine store, either
plain or sugar.coated

While elections were held Tuesday in
~ states, and the results in several in
stances were of unusual interest, gen
orally speaking there were no great sur.
prises. Throughout the south the Dem.
ocratic state and congressional tickets
were elected by the usual majorities.
In the west and east the states that
were aligned two years ago in the demo-
cratic or republican columns as a rule
show no material change, the democrats
making gains in some instances and the
republicans in others The republicans
retain control of congress by n majority
that may exceed 20. Perhaps the
widest general interest centred in the
remarkable fight for governor which
has been waged in New York between
Charles +. Hughes, the republican can
didate. who throughout the campaign
has had the support of President Roose'
welt, and William Randolph Hearst, who
has been running as the regular demo
cratic and Independence league nom
inee. The latest returns available show
that Mr.. Hughes, while losing nearly all
of the principal cities of the state, was
successful by about 10000 plurality.
The full democratic state ticket, wien
the exception of Hearst, was probably
elected. In New York city the Tam
league judiciary
ticket was successful, with possibly one
exception, over the candidates named
bv the non-partisan judiciary nom
inators." Joseph II. Choate, former
Chief Judge Parker of the state court
of appeals and other prominent mem
