One of the important
Questions Of the Campaien

The Importance Of electing a Dem.
o cratic Legislature to uphold the
hands of Governor Dickerson in his
announced policies, and to enforce
cratic platform Is paramount.
Unless the Governor can be sup.
ported by a Legislature with a pro-
gram along the lines promised by the
Democrats platform, these reforms
cannot be carried out and these pol
icies cannot be upheld.
At the next session of the legisla-
ture the Democratic party intends to
amend the State Police Law, and
make the abuses now possible under
1t, impossible. The Democratic party
has given its pledge to do this, and it
Is the only party In the state to do
ton the State Police Law, made no
promises and are committed to moth
ing. In the Democratic party lies
the only nope that the law will be
amended and stripped of its bad fea-
lures.
As q matter of fact no one has been
injured by the passage Of that law.
Federal troops will never invade Ne
vada again. but the Democrats in
end to see hat the law is so amend
cd that no one, by an overstepping
of authority, can be injured by the
law.
A Democratic legislature will see
that Nevada has a new banking law
which will efYectually protect depos-
Its In this state. The Democratic
platform Is on record in favor Of a
bank-deposit guarantee law similar
Il that which has been successfully
tried In Oklahoma. A Democratic
majority In both houses is needed to
secure this.
A Democratic Legislature will pass
a direct primary law similar to the
Oregon primary law which guaran-
tees to the people the rule OF their
own affairs through the direct con
troll Of tn selection of the men who
shall represent them.
The Eight-Hour Law now on the
statute book was passed by a Demo-
legislature and signed by a
Governor. When first
proposed In the state legislature, 1t
WAS renorted from the Senate Com
unfavorably and every man
who so reported that bill and every
man that voted against 1t was retired

Appeal to Hearst

RENO, October 30.-In their des-
perate effort to swing Nevada into
the Republican column, the leaders of
the Republican Party have, so it is
stated in inner circles, appealed to
the Hearst Independence League for
aid. 1t is now claimed that George
Cole, the leader of the Independence
League in Nevada, is in league with
the Republicans, and that he will en-
deavor to swing the vote of the indie
%pendence Party to Taft and F%1anigah.
the Republican candidate for United
States Senator. especially in the
southern part of the State, where the
Democratic majority will be over
wheiming.
The Republicans are putting forth
every effort to win their fight in Ne
vada, but their cause is almost hope
less from present indications. Sena-
tor Newlands and Congressman Bart
lett are being received by large
crowds wherever they go, and the
leaders of Democracy now claim that
there is no doubt but the the State
go Democratic by a large major
ity.

Women At Forty.
IMPORTANCE OF PRE-. SERVING THE HEALTH
 AT THAT TIME.
Proof of One Case in which a Weak, Nervous and Discouraged Women Was MaryeIousIy Helped by the
 Tonic Treatment.

Women approach their fortieth year with worry and uncertainty, for the manner in which they pass that crisis determines the health of their after life. During this most important time in the life of a woman, her whole aim should be to build up and strengthen her system to meet the unusual de- mands upon it. Devotion to family should not lead to neglect of self but hard work and household cares and wor- ies should be avoided as far as possible. Whether she is able to do this or not, no woman should fail to take the tonic treatment if she is entering this criti- cal period in weak, rundown and ner- vous condition. A tonic medicine is one that builds up the blood and, for this purpose the experience of thous- ands of women has shown that Dr Will liams' Pink Pills have no equal.
 Mrs Martha Dennis, of 823 West Ced- ar street, Kalamazoo, Mich, is one who owes her health to this treatment. | She says:
 "l suffered for year with weak ness, enduring pains which almost made me frantic. My kidneys were weak, had pains in my Joins and back and could hardly stoop over or lift any, thing. My liver was torpid and my complexion and the white of my eyes yellow. had palpitation of the heart, my limbs ached and l had severe head aches. l was troubled with chills, fol- lowed by levers, and would have to go to bed. l could not rest at night and was unable to remember anything. I was weak, irritable, nervous and dis outraged.
 After several months of suffering I was advised by friend to try Dr Will, liams' Pink Pills and the benefit I re- ceived from the first few boxes was re- markable. l was cured much sooner than l hoped and have been in good health ever since."
 Drowsiness, a feeling of heaviness, pain in the front of the head. nausea and even vomiting, dizziness. faintness, hot flashes followed by chils and pro- fuse precipitation are some of the signs that indicate the need of tonic treat ment as the change approaches. If this is your condition you should not wait another day before giving Dr Will liams' Pink Pills trial. The best proof of their merit is what they have actually done for others. Our booklet "Plain Talks to Women" gives proof of the help given in many cases, and much other valuable information for suffering women.
 Dr Williams Pink Pills are sold by all druggists, or sent by mail, post paid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box; six boxes for S2.50, by the Dr Williams Medicine Company, Schenec- tady, N. Y.

Spring has come! If you don't be : lieve it. just visit Meigs & Co.'s ex- hibit of fashions, this week, and you will have abundant proof that the fick- le goddess has lent her early smiles to an occasion of vast importance to woman.

 Paquin model: 48-inch coat of natural raiah silk, taffeta lined, trimmed with bands of embroidered flet net and motifs. Also Paquin costume in modi- fled Empire style, with short jacket, lace trimmed front and sleeves, Per- sian vest, in model French serge.
