POLITICAL POT IS
BOILING IN HENRY
Greatest Political Campaign
In History of the County
Expected This Year.
THE PARTIES ARE ACTIVE.
REPUBLICANS WILL HAVE TO
HUSTLE TO MAINTAIN THEIR
MAJORITY u is CLAIMED-PRO-
HIS IN GAME.

New Castle, Ind, March 11.-With
republicans extraordinarily active on
account of this county having a con-
gressional candidate, democrats awak-
ening from their years of lethargy and
showing more energy and enthusiasm
than in years, and prohibitionists de-
termined to make a better showing
than ever before, Henry county has
prospects of seeing the greatest polit-
ical campaign this year it has seen in
years. In years past the republicans
have always rolled up large MAORI
ties, but if they succeed in doing the
usual stunt this year it will be due to
extra efforts and not because their op-
ponentS are inactive. For the first
time in years the democrats will this
year select county ticket by delegate
convention. Heretofore 1t has been
the custom for affew of the faithful TO
get together, select men for the vari-
GUS places, and that formed the ticket.
The injection of young blood into the
party, through many moving into this
city to work in the factories, has caus-
ed the party to take on new life and
resulted in delegate convention this
year. 1t will be held some time in
April, after the state convention. Ev-
cry meeting of any calibre is marked
with unbounded enthusiasm, suffi
GENTLY so as to make the old bucks sit
up and take notice. II is something
they have been unaccustomed to. w.
S. Chambers, the new county chair
| man, is a comparatively young man
and is expected to conduct an aggres-
sive campaign. The party will have
| the strongest county organization it
| has ever had, and the state organiZa-
ton has promised to lend all aid pos
sible. They confidently expect to at
least cut down the republican major
| ity.
Prohis Also Active.
| The prohibitionists are also active
and will try to elect some of their can
didates. Their strength is expected
to be increased this year by the rally
/ ing TO their support of the temperance
element which has succeeded in get
ting up blanket remonstrance,
knocking the saloon out in this city.
! The prohis will also hold a county
convention, and the date is next Thurs
! day, March II. The convention will
be held during the morning in the
court house. Michael ]. Tanning. ad-
I vertised as the. great Irish orator OF
! the East" will address the convention
/ in the morning, and will also speak al
/ the court house in the evening. With
these three political parties active.
quiet work is also being done by the
socialist party, and this vote is ex-
/ pected to be five times as large this
election as it has ever been in the
county.

Mr.. Taft has been considered always
by his friends as remarkably luck
man. He has not known. the bitter
ness Of defeat in any of his endeayors
toward distinction. As matter OF
fact, with the single exception of his
election TO the Ohio judgeship. all his
preferments have come TO him by ap-
| pointment 1t is a remarkable fact
that when he was but thirty-two years
of age his name was considered seri-

dent to reconsider and finally name an

ties-she has been too busy. She de-
lights in travelling and in studying for

Manila she studied Spanish very dill

her husband on most of his long jour

said readily: "All right. III furnish

entered to tell him that one of his

''Then, gentlemen said the secre-
tary, will you kindly step over to that
table and write out your resigna-
tions?"
The men didn't want to resign. They
reconsidered. The upshot was that
they went back to work. Taft invest-
gated their claims and after due con-
sideration determined not to grant
them the increase until such time as
all other classes of labor employed on
the canal could have proportionate
raise in pay,
Though Mr.. ,Taft's home has been. in

Eczema is Now Curable.

A st. Louis chemist, after many
years of careful experimenting and in
vestigation, has discovered a simple
remedy that has cured hundreds of
cases of eczema that had been pro-
nounced incurable. This chemist be-
lieved that eczema and all itching
skin diseases were of local origin and
and fed on the skin.- He began to
search for a remedy that would de-
stroy these germs, and found that by
combining the, active principles of GER
tain well known vegetable drugs, and
applying them locally, the first appli-
cation stopped the itching and burn
ing, and if used persistently would
drive all germs and their poisons to
the surface of the skin, and destroy
them, leaving a nice, clear, healthy
edy the suggestive name of Zemo,
and since its introduction to the pub
lie Zemo has proved very popular
remedy and is today recognized the
most successful and meritorious rem
edy ever produced for the relief and
cure of eczema and all diseases of
the skin and scalp.
Harper House pharmacy endorses
and recommends Zemo and says that
they believe Zemo to be an honest
medicine and will do all that is claim
ed for it. 49,.
