Samuel Gompers. President Of the
American Federation of Labor has
gone to Lima. Ohio, 10 make a speech,
presumably Of a political nature. From
there he will go 10 Columbus TO speak
again. The program is taken to mean
that Gompers intends 10 get into the
thick of the con esi for the Presidency
1t is Gomplrs's plan 10 conduct an
active canvas for Mr.. Bryan. His OBJ
ject in travelling about the country is
twofold:
First TO make converts TO the De-
mocratic cause and second 10 feel the
pulse OF organized labor on the sub
ject OF getting INFO the campaign rs
such. He believes he can accomplish
effective work in behalf of the Demo-
cratic nominee, although he objects to
the charge that he is seeking 20
deliver" the labor vote 10 Mr.. Bryan.
Labor leaders continue TO inveign
against his political activities. The
latest TO make public protest is Frank
A. Kidd, President of the Columbia
Typographical Union of Washington
who speaking Of he Endorsement Of
Mr.. Bryan by the Central Labor Union
said:
This action was taken upon the
recommendation Of President Gompers
and the Executive Committee Of the

the follwing advice will be highly
appreciated by those wO suffer:
Get from any good pharmacy one
half ounce Fluid extract Dandelion
one ounce Compound Kargou, three
ounces of Compound Syrup Sarsa-
parilla. Shake these well in bottle
and take teaspoonful dose after
each meal and at bedtime; also
drink plenty Of good water.
1t Is claimed that there are few
victims of this dread aud torturous
disease who will fail to find ready
relief In this simple homemade
mixture, and in most cases a perma-
nent cure is the result.
This simple receipt is said to
strengthen and cleanse the elimina-
tive tissue of the kidneys so that
they can filter and strain from the
blood and system the poisons, acid
and waiste matter, which cause not
only Rheumatism but numerous
other diseases. Every man or wO.
man here who feels that their kid
neys are not healthy aud active, or
