L. Hisgen, candidate Of the Inde-
pendence party for President and
wm, r. Hearst addressed a meeting
at Memorial Hall tonight under the
auspices Of local organizations Of the
party. Mr.. Hearst read letters, which
he said had been written by John D.

ny, to Senator J. B. Foraker, Of Ohio,
referring to legislation pending in
Congress and mentioning two inclos-
ures Of checks, one for SIS, 900 and an
other for $14.5OO. Mr.. Hearst said:
I'VE claim that the Republican
party has been for a long time the
beneficiary Of trust corruption, and
that the Democratic party has only
waited f"r an opportunity 10 share It's
sisters profitable infamy. We claim
that the Democrats are today eagerly
competing with the Repr 5licans for
trust funds.
1--WE claim that when Theodore
Roosevelt wiped the Standard out of
the Republican party the Democratic
party welcomed the convicted crimi-
nal with open arms. we claim that
the Democratic party killed for Mr..
Rockefeller the fatted calf and that
there Is more rejoicing over this one
sinner who has Joined the Democratic
cause than there is over the hundreds
Of thousands OF honest, faithful citi-
zens who constitute the Democratic
masses.

lions, but with legal advice and docu.

dressed to Senator Foraker. dated

Stay with Your Organization.

There will be tendency to leave the farmers organizations because all that has been planned has not been accomplished. This will be an evil and instead of deserting the organizations, the farmers should stay firmly with them. Much has been accomplished, and that full success has not been attained is no cause for desertion.
 In no occupation is organization more essential. That it is more difficult to maintain is true, for the farmers situation is different from that of those who meet and coun- sel at any moment; but with the telephone, rural delivery, frequent mails, good newspapers and agri- cultural journals, much of disad- vantage may be overcome.
 The telephone is not luxury, it is a business necessity. That 1t may add to pleasures of farm life is only to make it more useful. Newspapers are as necessary to successful farming as blows and cultivators. They who are to farm without reading agricultural jour nals are behind the times.
 Organization can only be suc- cessful with an intelligent and reading population. Those men who do not study their occupations are not of value to 1t and for them there is little hope.
 With people who read and think and keep fully abreast of the times, organization is of the utmost inn portance.
 Leaders who seek to carry occu- patton against occupation should be watched and distrusted. Behind the passion which would tear community and bring strife, is desire for gain, and fat salary.
 Farmers are not enemies of the communities in which they live nor are the people who are engaged in other callings, as needful. Let there be peace, good will, cooper ation and mutual helpfulness.- Farm and Ranch.

MAD QUIT WORK READY TO GIVE UP IN DESPAIR
Restored to Health By Vinol

'I was sick, rundown and finally had to give up work. After trying . number of remedies and several phy- sicians, was just about ready to give up in despair. I saw Vinol ad- vertised and decided to try it., and it has done more good for me than all other means combined. It has built me up and restored my strength until I now feel twenty years younger, and am able to attend to my work again as usual" Job Jeavons, 1036 Lind street, Wheeling, W. Va
 The reason Vinol is so successful in such cases is because it contains tonic iron and all of the strengthening blood-making and bodybuilding ele- ments of cod liver oil, but no oil. Vinol is unexcelled as a strength creator for old people, delicate children, weak, rundown persons, and after sickness-and is the best known rem sdy for coughs, colds and bronchitis. We return your money if Vinol fails % give satisfaction.
