HIS FITNESS FOR CONGRESS
Wells Newspaper Refers EIoquentIy
to James T. McCIeary.
From Saturdays Daily.


Wells Forum Advocate: For congress
the party has named Mr.. McCleary,
congressman several times. He is able.
commands hearing in congress, gets
good committee appointments, is among
the best posted congressman on leading
issues, and is a gentleman who does
not become angry at opposition thus
losing influence. He will do better
work than before, and probably the
two years off will be more benefit
than loss to him. He is in harm
ony with the district, will do as the
people desire, in voting for speaker,
he is enthusiastic in his work and
should be returned to the house.
His opponent is not in sympathy
with the district in the great issues
before the parties, but believes con-
trary on all party issues. He is not
man who came to the front this
term so he is not particularly strong.
If he were a man who stuck out
among men like wagon tongue he
would have been recognized, as he
did not he must be accounted only
ordinary, beside being off side. If
this district is republican, it should
stay republican i'll congress. There
is no reason republicans have for
voting against their congressional nom
inee except one of personal ambi-
ton or pique. 1t is not a question
of principle as they do not believe with
the man when they vote for the demo
cratic candidate.

Letthe urine stand for twenty four hours and
if at the end of that time there are deposits Of
brick dust variety or if the water becomes
smoky and cloudy you may be sure the kidneys
are deranged.
Another very marked symptom of kidney
disease is pain in the small of the back.
The letter quoted below tells how these
symptoms were overcome and kidney disease
cured by DR.. A. w. Chase's Kidney and Liver

bined action on both liver and bowels these
pills cure the most complicated cases.
