THE DAYS WORK AT DEMO.
CRATIC HEADQUARTERS

What is day at Democratic
Headquarters like? At l0:30 Vice
Chairman Hudspeth at Eastern
headquarters takes his place at the
head Of long table. Around that
table are gathered the chairmen of
all the bureaus and committees.
Each chairman submits his report,
report that deals with all the
States from Maine to Florida on
the Atlantic seaboard. If it con-
Germs speakers the committee is in
formed just who is on the stump,
the impressions that are being
made, and the demand for certain
speakers or for more speeches by
this man or that. These reports
are made up from facts, gathered
by WIRE, by letter, by newspapers,
and by visitors from many parts
of the country, for out in the States
a great army of orators, writer's,
observers, district and local lead
ers, crossroads politicians, and the
great silent, thinking masses are
at work in that gigantic political
game of electing President of the
United States. Much, very much,
depends on what this great central
committee learns, and how it acts
on the knowledge.
At the Democratic Campaign
Committee table there are seated
such men as Nathan Straus, Sena
tor Culberson, Colonel Watterson,
Mr.. Mack, Alton b. Parker, the
chairman Of the Democratic Con

THE TWO MEN

The question, as to the kind OF
q man 10 represent Arizona in
congress, is one that appeals to the
judgment of the faithful voters Of
Arizona. Congressional districts
in the various States use great care
in the selection Of congressman,
men Of ability, men of high char.
acter, men of influence among
their fellow men, are the requisites
demanded of mem Der of congress.
Taking this as basis, it is only
fair and just that Ralph Cameron
and Mark Smith should be judged
by these standards.
The lower house Of congress is
composed of 39l members, selected
from among 100000 voters
one for every 100000 or nearly so
This body of select lawmakers are
jealous of the personnel of the
great lawmaking body. An in.
ferior man, intellectually, is looked
upon with disfavor; it is considered
as q reflection upon its capacity,
consequently, when congressional
district, by neglect or otherwise,
sends such an individual to repre-
sent il, he is treated as an inter
loper and harmful results come to
his constituents.
Now, we ask IN candor, the
voters of Arizona to compare Mark
Smith and Ralph Cameron as to
their intellectual equipments; their
knowledge Of parliamentary law
and precedent, their ability to
stand on the floor of congress and
plead the cause of Arizona. Mark

LYDIA E. PINKHAM

Nature and a woman's work COM
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good fashioned days of
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years IN
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the

c,liar ills, more potent and efica-
cious than any combination ofdrugs.
