The press agents OF Senator Elkins
are very busy in West Virginia, but
nothing has been-nothing can be
shown to indicate that he Is anything
else but railroad and corporation
Senator. There are few honest and
courageous men among the Republic
cans in the Senate whose actions show
that they are really endeavoring to
secure fair rate bill, but Senator Ell
kins is not of these.

IT is said that Senator Elkins is
very strongly opposed to Col. Tom
Davis running for Congress this year,
as he fears ii will interfere seriously
with his own political plans. Itthere
isany retiring to be done, we think
Senator Elkins ought to retire-Un-
Gle Tom is the oldest.

FOR STATE SENATE.

AT the suggestion of friends, | an
nounce myself candidate, asking the
support of the voters of this senatorial
district of West Virginia before the
Democratic senatorial convention. Sup
porting Democratic principles in gen
eral, | will, if nominated and elected,
specially advocate two-cent passenger
fare on railroad, and the absolute abol-
ishing of toll-gates upon public high
ways, and further pledge myself that
if elected, will pay my car fare and
not travel to and from the State capital
on a free pass

For State Senator.

The nomination for State Senator be-
ing conceded TO Berkeley county, Mr..
Ii. 5. CUSHWA will be strongly sup
ported for that position. Mr.. Cushw
was for two terms member of the
House of Delegates, and seryed the PEG
pie faithfully and well, and should be
named as the Democratic nominee for
this district, it will be but well-earned
promotion.
TRUE DEMOCRAT
Shepherdstown register. [volume] (Shepherdstown, Va. [W. Va.]) 1849-1955, 1906-05-17

The main idea of Senator Elkins
in legislation is to present measures
pretending to favcr the people, while
In reality they are the very thing
that the corporations want. He has
played this trick successfully before,
but his methods are so well known
now that everything he offers is re-
garded with suspicion.
The Senator can only fool those
persons who wish to be fooled.

WHEN it comes to forcing negro
postmaster on the people of Mississip-
pi, or a negro collector on the citizens
of South Carolina, President Roose-
welt can stand as firm as a rock. But
when it comes to question of nation
al importance in which the interests
of the people are deeply involved, he
is gutter pure and simple.

Keep the Balance Up.

1t has been truthfully said that any dis
turbance of the even balance ofhealth causes
serious trouble. Nobody can be too careful
10 keep this balance up. When people begin
TO lose appetite, or TO get tired easily, the
least imprudeuce brings on sickness, weak
ness or debility. The system needs tonic,
Graves It, and should not be denied 1t; and
the best tonic OF which we have any knowl-
edge is Hoods Sarssparilla. What this med
icine has done in keening healthy people
healthy. in keeping up the even balance OF
health, gives IL the same distinction as
preventive that IL enjoys as cure. Its early
use has illustrated the wisdom OF the old
saying that a stitch in time saves nine.
Take Hoods for appetite, strength and en-
