The Governor
and Mr.. Bryan
Evening Journal.

why is il Governor Swanson
evades meeting William Jennings
Bryan every time he comes TO Vir-
ginia? Does not the Governor know
that Virginia is for Bryan? We
want The Evening Journal to an
swer. "-Virginia Gazette, of Will
liamsburg.
Our friend, the Virginia Gazette,
is in error in supposing that Cover
nor Swanson "evades meeting Will
liam Jennings Bryan every time he
comes TO Virginia.
On the coatrary, the Governor not
only meets Mr.. Brayn, but he enter
tanned him this summer, together
with Mrs. Bryan, for several days
ut the Executive Mansion. There is,
even now, we believe, a good-natur-
eel "quarrel' going on between the
Governor and Mr.. Bryan about pro-
missed visit from Governor and Mrs.
Swanson in return for the visit paid
them by Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan.
The Governor and Mr.. Bryan are
old personal friends of many years
standing. They served together in
Congress, and the most cordial rela-
tions exist between them.
The Governor greatly regretted his
inability to be present, and TO intro
duce Mr.. Brayn when he spoke ut the
State Fair on the 18th instant.
hnfnro
made for Mr.. Bryan 10 speak here on
this occasion, the Governor had made
an engagement 10 meet and officially
welcome and entertain the Governor
of New York when he made his
official visit TO the Exposition on
the nth OF October. Unfortunately,
this was the day subsequently select
eel for Mr., Bryan TO speak ut the fair.
1t is now understood that it was inn
possible for the Governor to meet Mr..
Bryan on this occasion with out
rudely breaking the previous engage
ments with the visiting Governor.
Mr.. Bryan would probably have
been the last man to have expected
or desired Governor Swanson to do
such IA thing.
We feel fairly safe in assuring our
friend of Williamsburg that no polit-
zeal Significance is to be attached to
Governor Swanson's failure to meet
Mr.. Bryan on his last visit here.
We do not undertake TO speak for
the Governor, but ii is generally un-
derstood among his friends that he
will cordially support Mr., Bryan in
the coming contest.

THAT PENlTENTIARY COM
PROMISE

1t is pleasure always to correct
erroneous statements and impress
sions, particularly when regulations
are at stake. 1T now appears that
there is little, if any, foundation for
the rumor that special Office is TO
be created in order TO placate Mr..
Helms and his friends. Meth er does
there seem 10 be any truth in the re-
port that Governor Swanson was
mixed up in the affair. 1t may be
the thing to do TO have State
superintendent of convicts, but not
simply TO make place for defeat
ed candidate. The state at large, we
believe, will approve fully the re-
election OF Mr.. Morgan, who is an
elegent gentleman, and thoughtful
business man, who has demonstrated
fully that he knows his business,
and that there is no necessity for a
change at this time.

AN EXPLANATION IN
ORDER

The Democrats of the state, GER
tainly of this district, would like to
know why the Democrats of the
Senatorial District, composed ofGileS,
Bland and Pulaski and Wythe coun-
ties, failed to put out a candidate for
the Senate this year.
The Democrats of this district have
rot lost candidate for more than
twenty years. To lay down under
these circumstances seems strange TO
an outsider. Such action without the
best of reasons therefor, is unjust and
unfair, both to the party of the state
and the district.
There is Il rumor afloat Of deal
between the leaders of both parties i'm
the matter. If so we hope the truth
will come out. An explanation is in
order.
At this particular time-of all
other times-the Democrats of the
Ninth District should not raise the
white flag. What right have they, or
any other District, TO fritter or barter
away their strength and opportuni-
ty? An explanation is in order.

Has Seen a
Great Light

Editor Richmond Evening Jour
nal:
Up To Bryan day at the State Fair
just passed, | somehow could not
grasp the fact that Mr. Bryan is
great speaker. True, had heard him
several times, but was not impressed
with his superiority over other
speakers, and had well-nigh con-
cluded that, after all, was either an
incompetent critic or else Mr.. BRYAN
W ; wearing iin is role But since
hearing his magnificent effort above
referred to have seen a great light.
Like noted minister remarked to
me just after Mr.. Bryan had finished
his address: L fully realize that no
other man on earth possesses such
power of expression, such forcibility
In the use of language, adapted 10
the understanding OF the simple,
though treating on deep subjects.
More than this, l am now fully pur-
suaded that of all men Bryan would
best subserve the interest of our coun
try as President, not only because of
his native sublime, resplendent
genius, but also because OF the fact
that, having visited every nation ON
the globe, those nations fully realize
that he is not only the greatest of
men, but the best of great men. There
fore his election to the presidency in
1908 would be better than an army
with banners towards maintaining
peace between the United States and
foreign powers.
1t must have been very gratifying
to humorous Democrats who heard the
speech TO find that of all public men
Mr., Bryan is the safest and sanest in
his views,
But whether elected or not his fol-
lowers would rather go down to de-
feat with him than TO sit at the ban
quet table without him. AS for me, l
would rather for Mr.. Bryan To be
elected President i'm 1908 than Senior
Daniel or any other Virginian.

Thomas A. Edison, the great Ameri-
can inventor, says: Fully eighty per
cent OF the illness OF mankind comes
from eating improper food or too much
food; people are inclined to over-in-
dulge themselves" This is where in
digestion finds it beginning in nearly
every case. The stomach can do Just
50 much work and no more, and when
you overload it, or when you eat the
wrong kind Of food, the digestive or
gans cannot possibly do the work de-
manded Of them. 1t is at such times
that the stomach needs help, it de-
mands help, and warns you by head
aches, belching, sour stomach, nauseau
and Indigestion. You should attend to
this at once by taking something that
will actually do the work for the

MARION'S ULTIMATUM

the papers, has notified the express
not to deliver whiSkey in
that town, which is dry" and the
express companies have notified the
liquor men of Bristol and other Nir
ginia towns that their goods will not
be delivered i'm Marion. If this is
true, and Marion has the power TO
do this, why can't other local option
towns and districts have the same

MAKE THIS UP
AT YOUR HOME
Prepare This Simple Mixture at
Home by Shaking Ingredi-
entS Well in Bottle.

What will appear very interesting to
many people here is the article taken
from a New York daily paper, giving
simple prescription, as formulated
by noted authority, who claims that
he has found a positive remedy TO
cure almost any case Of backache or
kidney or bladder arrangement, in the
following simple prescription, il taken
before the stage OF Bright's disease:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Shake well in a bottle and
meal and again at bedtime.
A well-krown druggist here at home
when asked regarding this prescription
stated that the ingredients are all
harmless, and can be obtained at a
small cost from any good prescription
pharmacy, or the mixture would be
put up if asked TO do so. He further
stated that while this prescription is
often prescribed in rheumatic affection
, with splendid results, he could see no
reason why it would not be n splendid
remedy for kidney and urinary troub-
les and backache, as it has a peculiar
| notion upon the kidney structure,
cleansing these most important argans
and helping them to sift and filter from
the blood the foul acids and waste
matter which cause sickness and
suffering. Those Of our readers who
suffer can make no mistake In giving
| ii trial.

A Kicking Demo-

Platform.

Editor (. Y. News:

Mr.. Werth's platform rs published
in your columns. If what | shall say

years that there are u number of
things in the party which should be
changed, and | am glad TO see that n
Democrat, and such one rs Mr.
Werth has the courage TO come out
and declare his determination, if
elected, 10 tackle certain laws which
have been imposed upon the party TO
the party's hurt and injury.
Mr.. Werth's platform is not
Democratic, according 10 the Office
holders and pie hunters. No wonder
some of them uon't like il. They say
ii is Republican platform. Suppose
il is? What we want is good laws
enacted and the addition OF bad
ones, and if this can be accomplish

he will stand up for what he be-
lieves, and has any mental force

The fixing of a poll tax qualiiica-
ton for voting is wrong in principle
and this, with other qualifications
added. has robbed hundreds of good
men of their God-given right in
this state. Proclaiming the Constitu-
tion instead of submitting il 10 the
/ people, rs was promised, appoint
ment Of Commissioners of Revenue
are other Ubiquitous measures. These,
with others, Mr.. Werth opposes, and
promises 10 fight with all his might
if elected. This is precisely what
should be done, and hope that
every true man, regardless of politics
Will back up and support Mr. Werth.
1t is said that he will be unable To
do anything in the Senate along the
lines of reformation, bo cause the
whole Senate and Legislature will be
against him. 1t may not be genreal-
| ly known but il is fact neVerthe-
less, that there are quite a number of
good, influential Democrats in the
State, and some of these were mem
bers of the last General Assembly,
who believe just like Mr.. Werth
does, and these will join him, no
doubt, in his fight against these
measures. He will raise IA row and
shake up things in Richmond, for
there is nothing that pleases Mr..
Werth much better than fight of
this kind. While ! am Democrat

THE Democratic party is domi-
