Comment From Democrat.
ie Headquarters.
WHY THE EAST IS FOR BRYAN.

WHY THE EAST IS FOR BRYAN.
Several reasons may be offer
ed, each potent in its way, for
the belief that the East will give
Bryan greater support this year
than in any previous campaign.
The strongest argument, howev-
er, may be found in financial
conditions.
The West did not feel the pinch
of the 1907 panic so keenly as
did the people of the East
Here we had good crops large
floc&s and herds. We felt the
panic only while prices on live
stock were on the down grade.
In the East, the factories were
closed and not only the workman
but also the tradesman and every
line of industry suffered keenly
from that source of supply to the
arteries of commerce.
The effect in one state alone
will give an index to the situation
in many other states. In New
York, for the year ending July 1,
1908, there were 1888 fewer
savings banks accounts opened
than in the proceeding year,
while the accounts closed were
48,48 more than in the previous
twelve months. The net loss to
the banks Cor to the people, rath-
er) amounted to more than S76,-
100000.
A similar state of affairsin 9TH
er manufacturing states explains
why the Taft managers are los
ing sleep on account of the situa-
ton in the East. When you
touch a mans pocketbook, you
reach tender spot.

The tenderest spot about the
anatomy of the average voter is
his pooketbook. The East was
harder hit by the made-to-order
panic of 1907 than any other Sec
ton Of our country. AS a result,
there is tide setting in from the
East toward Mr.. Bryan that all

Democrats gain 80 per cent,

joicing. Hurrah for the Maine

A newspaper man living in one
of the strong Ball counties, where
there was also a heavy Wallace
vote, Says;s "The Democrats of
this county are ell lined up for
the ticket. Every man in the
county who was ever a Democrat
will support the ticket from top
to bottom; our county committee
is looking after the organization
Of the clubs, and everything is
lovely here. Clubs are being

ships and expect to make our ma
iority 1900 IN November"
=.
The Republicans of the East
are scared. They see a sign
that shows very strongly the
drift Of the sentiment toward Mr..
Bryan. Newspapers there are
soliciting popular contributions
to the Bryan campaign fund.
Thousands Of voters are subscrib-.
ing to this fund who have form
erly been staunch Republicans.
There can be b1t one conclusion
drawn from this fact-those Re-
publicans are going to vote for
} Bryan. That is certainly good
cause for the scare in the East.
Developments Of the campaign
may show that this condition is
not confined to the East.

"h~st o." 6-4s.- .A@&s
Thousands of men and women who
have felt the sting and torture of this
dread disease. which is no respecter
OF age, persons, sex. color, or rank,
will be interested to know that while
for many years rheumatism was con-
sidered an incurable disease, now it is
one of the easiest Affections of the
human body to conquer. Medical
science has proven IL not distinct
disease in itself but a symptom caus-
ed by inactive kidneys. Rheumatism
is uric acid in the blood and other
waste products of the system which
should be filtered and strained out In
the form of urine. The function of
the kidneys is to sift these poisons and
acids out and keep the blood clean and
pure. The kidneys however, are of
sponge-like substance, the holes or
pores of which will sometimes either
from overwork. cold or exposure be-
come clogged and inactive, and failing
i'm their function of eliminating these
poisons from the blood, they remain in
the veins, decompose and settling
about the joints and muscles, cause
the untold suffering and pain of rheu-
matism and backache, often producing
complications of bladder and urinary
! disease, weakness, etc.
The following simple prescription is
said to relieve the worst cases of rheu
matism because OF its direct action
upon the blood and kidneys, relieving
too, the most severe forms Of bladder
and urinary troubles: Fluid Extract
Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound
Kargon, one ounce: Compound Syrup
