MCNAB MEN BOAST
OF GORE MEETING
Bourbon County Committee
Takes Credit for Success
of Campaign Rally
Bell and His State Organization
We're Ignored by Nathan
Cole Jr.

See what we can do when we start
out to give a good old democratic
political meeting"
With pouted chests and beansing &
smiles. the members of the McNab
county committee are talking thus
about the Gore meeting of Tuesday
night. From the tone of their re-
marks it is quite evident that some
thing more than mere devotion to
Bryan prompted their efforts to fill
Dreamland pavilion when the blind
senator spoke.
There is no doubt that the Gore
meeting was a success. There was q
big crowd. a capital speaker and plenty
of enthusiasm. Much credit for all this
is due to Sidney Van Wyck, Justus
Wardell, Tom Kennedy, Johnnie Gree
ley and Johnnie Sweeney, the special
committee appointed to handle the af-
fair.
But just size UP the personnel of
that committee and something of the
motive behind their activity will be
apparent. All five are stanch McNab
democrats and members of the county
committee. The arrangements for the
meeting were entrusted to them after
National Committeeman Nathan Cole
Jr. of Los Angeles had wired to Gavin
McNab and. Tom Hickey that Senator
Gore was coming to this city.
Arrangements for big mass meetings
during national campaign are always
left to the state central committee
The Gore meeting was a conspicuous
exception. 1t was handled by the
county committee, and these commit
teemen were boasting yesterday that
the crowd was gathered by that body
alone.
The fact that Nathan Cole agrees
with Gavin McNab Tom Hickey and
the local county committee in cordial
dislike for the state central commit
tee, which is controlled by Theodore
A. Bell, may help to explain why Bells
men didn't get a look in when a big
gun like Gore started to boom here. 1t
also explains why the county commit
teemen are boasting so volubly about
the success of the meeting.
The bigger the vote that Bryan gets
in this city the more glory will re-
dound to Gavin McNab; the smaller the
Bryan vote in the interior the more
blame will come to Theodore A. Bell.

MACHINE PROGRAM
FAILS IN THIRTIFTH
Herrin, Lynch and Finn Planned
TO Elect Barr to Succeed
Keane
ellison Files Petition for Place
on Ticket and Wilson Die
tates Nomination

William F. Herrin. John c. Lynch,
Tom Finn and Jack Barr are sore:
James A. Wilson. John ellison and John
p. Hare are happy.
That is something like the lineup
which has taken place in the senatorial
embroglio in the twenty third district
Behind it is a story which points the
heartening moral that the best laid
plans OF the machine sometimes gang
agley.
The twenty-third senatorial district
comprises the thirtieth and forty-sec-
ond assembly districts. The democrats
Of that district have nominated for
state senator John p. Hare of the thir-
tieth. The republicans have not been
able to make a nomination because the
thirtieth district, with three votes, be-
longs TO the machine, while the forty
second, with the same number of votes.
was captured by the Lincoln Roosevelt
league. Ever since the primary cleo
tion the district has been deadlocked
with Jack Barr of the thirtieth as the
machine candidate for the senatorial
nomination, and John ellison of the
forty second as the reform candidate.
gibson FILES PETITION
John ellison yesterday stole march
on his opponent, Barr, by filing a petit
tion with the registrar for a place on
the ballot as an independent candidate
under the heading of Roosevelt re-
publican" a very catchy designation
ellison managed to gather enough
names to total per cent, instead of the
necessary per cent, of the voters of
his district.
So the howls are going up. Herrin
wanted Barr to get that nomination;
Lynch, hearkening to his master s
voice. bestirred himself to help Barr
get it; and Tom Finn. although chair
man of the union labor county COM
mittee, gave his services in the matter
to Herrin and Lynch. So Herrin is
mad and Lynch is swearing softly and
Tom Finn can not restrain his wrath.
As to Jack Barr. well, he is securing
the district for signatures to his Pc
tition and having a strenuous time get
ting them All his friends voted at
the primary and are disqualified
WILSON STANDS BY HARE
When Herrin and Lynch and Finn
planned to elect Barr to the state sem
ate to succeed George keane, they
counted on the union labor indorse-
ment. But they reckoned without James
A Wilson of the thirtieth, who is sec
retary of the union labor county COM
mittee. but who most decidedly re-
fuses to follow the lead of Chairman
Finn in doing Herrin politics. Wilson
announced himself as the union labor
candidate and would not withdraw.
Herrin gave the word TO Lynch and
Lynch passed it to Finn and Finn
pleaded with Wilson, but Wilson stayed.
And now Wilson is going to with
draw. but only on condition that the
union labor nomination goes to Hare,
the democratic candidate Is 1t any
wonder that Herrin, Lynch, Finn and
Barr are sore, and that wilson and
ellison and Hare are happy?

THE SHOE QUESTION.

When shoes were made largely by hand, and to measure, it was said that "it is as easy to get man to change his religion as his shoemaker" But in these times, when the dollar decides most questions, the shoe question re. solves itself into: "Where can get the best shoe for my money?" And by best the average man means shoes that fit properly; that are adapted to his requirements; that possess style; and that wear exceedingly well. Meigs & Co. seem to have answered this question satisfactorily in their cele- brated Zenith 'shoes, long rated the best three-hfty and four dollar shoes sold in this city. The splendid variety of Fall styles they are showing in the Zenith" lines is evidence of the firms determination to provide for all tastes; and glance over the score or more of new lasts will convince the seeker after the best shoes for his money that Meigs & Co. are we'll "heeled" to supply them.

It's pity when sick ones drug the stomach or stimulate the Heart and Kidneys. That is all wrong. A weak stomach, means weak stomach nerves, always. And this is also true of the Heart and Kidneys. The weak nerves are instead crying out for help. This explains why Dr Shoop's Restorative is promptly helping Stomach, Heart and Kidney ailments. The Restorative reaches out for the actual cause of these ailments-the failing inside nerves" Anyway test the Restora- tive 48 hours. It won't cure so soon as that, but you will surely know that help is coming. Sold by all dealers.
