ST. WTUS'
DANCE CURED
Remarkable Instance of the Power
of DR.. Williams Pink Pills in
Severe Nervous Disorders
Reported from an
Iowa Town.

That DR.. Williams Pink Pills have
cured obstinate cases of St. Vitus dance
is the best evidence of their value
in lesser nervous disorders. Here is
evidence that will stand thorough in
yestigation. Mrs. James Wilkie, of 7O7
Spruce street, Cherokee, Iowa, says:
II was of a very nervous temperament
even when child. AS I grew to girl
hood, more and more of the work in our
family fell to me. At the same time /
tried to keep up my studies in school.
The strain was too great and at the
ago Of fourteen had to leave school,
because of the rundown and nervous
condition I Twas in. gradually grew
worse, becoming extremely irritable and
suffering terribly from melancholy. It
was first noticed that had ST. VII u.s.
dance, when I began to lose control Of
tho muscles of, face. The disease
soon spread all b my body and my
head and arms tremled constantly.
"Iwas in this condition for about a year
and dwindled away to almost nothing.
Finally became so weak that had to
stay in bed all the time. Up to this
time had been under the care of two
doctors and as became no better gave
up their medicine. After had been in
bed about two months, my father heard
about Dr.. Williams' Pink Pills from an
old friend. He bought some at once
and I started using them, not
expecting much benefit. / noticed
very soon that the pills were helping me
and that I could sleep better. We all
thought this so wonderful that was
encouraged to give them a good trial.

taken medicine for my nerves since. I
feel that owe my life to DR.. Williams

Albert F. Sherwood made serious blunder when he resurrected George L. Lilley's speech at the town meet ing years ago. It has long since been pronounced a bluff that the men aim- ed at should have called. If this had been done it might have been good thing for MT Lilley, for it would have made him sensible of the risk one runs when he charges his neighbors with wrong doing, unless he is able to put forward the proof. Isn't that the sort of thing that turned so many good people against him?. MT Lilley has always been too ready to judge others and as a consequence he got himself into peck of trouble, just as everybody else Is sure to do sooner or later who makes business of telling what he doesn't know. Who wants to champion man who at tacks the character of his associates and when challenged for the proof admits that he has nothing better than hearsay? MT Sherwood would not care to be judged by evidence of that kind.

The closing days of the campaign are showing up some queer situa- tions and sayings sure enough. For instance here is Congressman Lilley denouncing the lobby and the corpor- ation, and that is really the most laughable incident in the whole lot. But a short time ago he had his coat of, and his sleeves rolled up trying to elect a corporation man mayor of Waterbury. Some men are consist ant, even Editor Osborne, but when
 the republican party through its candidates, attacks the lobby and
 the corporation, then the man who has nothing but his vote and his brain to tell him how to use it must act for himself. There is too much

 politics In 1t for him. Another of the unusual things in this whirlwind campaign was the sight of David B. Hill, the man who coined the phrase "I am democrat" on the platform at Albany Introducing William Jen. nings Bryan to an audience that cheered the Nebrsskan for minutes at a time.

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1908-10-29


 Judge A. Heaton Robertson stands squarely on the democratic platform and pledges himself If elected to carry out its provisions if given an opportunity. A governor Is not the whole thing. 1t must be remembered, so 1t behooves democrats to elect democrats enough to the senate and house of representatives, so that tho governor may be able to carry out democratic plans and ideas. Water- bury should send two democrats to- the house. and it is sure to send one senator. Messrs Mcdonald and Devine and Senator John Hurley should get the vote of every demo- crat. and if they do there will be no doubt about their election, as many republicans have signified their intention to vote for the dem- ocrats this time. Numerous mem- bers Of the 6. o. p. are going to give the party whack that it will re- member for foisting machine made candidates on the party and then attempting to drive the voters like sheep to the polls. The democrats should come back to their own this year, and 1t looks as though they will too. And remember that Judge R. A. Lowe, the victor in many a battle Is on the ticket, so let 1t be clean sweep from Bryan to Lowe, Hurley, Mcdonald and Devine. Judge Robertson will make one of the best governors this old state has ever had. Not a word is being said against him, except that he owns stock in certain corporations. Not a man in Waterbury but what would like to have some of this same stock. It is good property to own, but We all can't have it. Congress- man Lilley's bid for the labor vote will fall on deaf ears, as 1t should. l It is claimed that he voted for an | employers liability act. The argu- ment Is that because he did that they will advance their cause by voting for him for governor says the Hart F ford Times. It neglects to tell them that the voting On laws in Connecti- cut is not done by the govel lor, but by the legislature; also that the re- publican platform does not advocate any employers liability law; also that the democratic platform does demand 1t explicitly and the demo- cratic candidate Is pledged to sup port the declarations of the platform. Workingmen and all others who be- lieve in an employers liability law should vote for representatives and senators who will pledge themselves to support that measure, and for Mir Robertson, who stands on a platform indorsing it and has promised to live up to it's declarations as far as his office gives him power. Those who believe in public service commis- sion should do the same thing. There also the effective thing is to vote for senators and representatives who will agree to support such a measure. It is they who make the laws. The governor has only to ap- prove or veto, and if he vetoes, the bill can be passed over the veto by a bare majority.

DEMOCRATIC LEADER
WOULD DISCARD HAWAII

Governor John A. Johnson, of Nina
nesota, who wants to be President, is
quoted as follows:
He applauded the platform of the
Independence League, saying that it sis
platform which in the main, any po-
litical party might well adopt" This
utterance may come as a shock to a
distinguished senator from state
south of the Potomac river, who rath-
er bitterly accused Mr.. Bryan of TAX
ing his views and principles from the
independence League.
However, Gov. Johnson did take issue
with the Hearst papers of a ship sub
sidy, a great navy and Imperialism. He
said with certain metaphors not neces-
sary to quote here that he wished we
could get rid of the Philippines and
was not sure that we should not get rid
of Hawaii as well. Whether this in
terview was given before or after the
announcement that Mr.. Hearst would
not support Mr.. Johnson nobody knows.
But when it is recalled that the Hearst
platform calls for mighty navy, terri
torial expansion and ship subsidies,
politicians are inclined to think that.
Gov. Johnson did not strengthen him.
