MT W. O. Clement, Assistant Mana ger Rome Georgian" Rome Georgia, writes:
 Tt affords me pleasure to voluntarily testify to the true merits of your won derful Peruna.
 q have for several years been suffer- ing from disordered liver and chronic constipation, for which I had tried a great many remedies, but none did me any good. My whole system was so thoroughly overcome that 1 was easy to catch cold, and the consequences was that a chronic case of catarrh was fast developing.

SENATORIAL SUCCESSION
 DOMINANT TEXT OF GOSSIP
Situation in Alabama Peculiar Many Respects to the Senate Are in Quandary What Move Make
 Administration Is Opposed to the Alternate Plan
BY HERvEY NJ. LAIRD.

, of Birmingham has many friends, but he has indicated his intention to keep out of It, while there are some who think John ". Tomlinson of Birmingham. has Intentions" So it is that there may be three influences or followings in the leg islative fight. those who have been "en- dorsed." those who did not ask endorse ment and those who did ask but failed to receive it.
 With which of these will the admins tration line up? This is the most impor- tant question agitating the minds of the men of the state. The fact seems to be that as whole no one of the three Is in perfect line with the admin istration. It is generally understood that the leaders of the dominant crowd in the party were adverse to the alter nate'' plan that they may not take kind ly to it's favorites; certain it is that some of the men in both other classes fought the Conner following to some ex- tent at least. All of which further tends
 to tangle the outlook.
 But whatever the result in the seec- tion of a successor to the dead senator the fact that he was greatly honored and beloved by his own people has been wonderfully demonstrated. He had been in the service of his country so long that many had come to accept and take pride in his a natural thing Some way they had come to know that he was in Wash ington looking after all that was good in the work that he was charged with doing. and the probability of his not re- maining came home to few Even when 1t was we'll known that he was rapidly failing many took the reports without concern, remembering that he had been many times i'll and had always shown up ready for duty when the time came. His death, therefore, has been a great shock one that the people will require some time to get over.
 It is not believed that any man could have ever beaten him for the place of honor he so long held. The best posted ones of the state took this view of it. Leading men of the Conner following. known as regulators of the railroads and advocates of the close control of corpor- ations, wavered not in the least when the venerable senator spoke out against the feeling that had run riot against cor porations and when he stood up and cast his vote in opposition to the Hepburn railroad control bill there were none to condemn. He spoke out against some If the state movements along this line, with the same result. There has seemed to lie a confidence in him that no act of enemy or position himself could shake, and Alabama bows in grief today. while a world joins in sympathy with it's be- reaved citizens.

Montgomery, June 15.-(Special. )--Nat- uraly the dominant text for gossip at the capital this week has been the death of Senator Morgan and the possibilities and probabilities of the succession to the position he has so honorably filled in Washington for thirty or more years. The leading feature of the discussion has been the attitude-unknown up to today -of Gov. B. B. Conner, who will have much to do with the selection of the man for the honors. He may not directly influence the legislative selection but what he wants and demands will have much weight in the final windup.
 The situation is peculiar in many re- spects. Minor parts of the whole out look are interesting as possibilities of results Those men who have felt the desire to serve in the upper house of Congress for some years but kept out of the race for the alternate" instruc- tions now find themselves at the dis advantage of going up against men who have been endorsed" by the people in the only way provided for such expression of their wills. If they remain out now 1t will mean that they will be out for years, many of them for all time; this much they see plainly. What they will do, therefore, is of more than ordinary moment.
 On the other hand, there are the men who ran and did not get the "endorse- ment' that goes with plurality preference, even though such preference Is for a place that at the time of expression did not lie within reach. If they decide to go into a fight will they claim that the primary result was without meaning, or meet the weakness that accompanies fail ure to receive as many votes as the other fellows. It will be a see-saW mental ques- tion that stands without parallel in the state and south, perhaps in the United States There are a number ofs men in both these classes and if they decide to fall into the contest for all they are worth the situation will be unique as well as exciting.
 Of the men who received the endorse ment of the people in the primary only two are considered nominated" Bank head and Johnston. There were two i'm aginary possibilities to be provided for and these men were voted the choice of the democracy for them. Of the men who sought this approval and fell below the two high votes, one is dead and the oth- CTS are active in state affairs. These are well known.
 Of those who are supposed to have ambitions to the point of going after the honor, Congressmen Richardson and Clayton are prominent. Rufus N. Rhodes

States.
There is absolutely nothing in the
way of needing and granting that de-
mand unless 1t be the refusal of
Mr.. Roosevelt himself to take the
nomination. When It is shown to
him that the interests of the masses
and welfare of the country depend
