CURRENT TOPICS AT CAPITAL
GETTING IN BRYAN COLUMN

ularly has been announced I'm the
newspapers as being q point at which
the solid Bryan phalanx might be
beaten. In letter of two or three
days ago called attention To- Oh
fact that the Michigan fight was not
for or against Mr.. Bryan, but local
fight involving the control OF the DEM
ocratic organization In the state. The
outcome OF the state convention justl
fed my forecast. The Michigan dele.
cation is instructed first. last and all
the time for the nomination of MIR.
Bryan. Nobody questioned Nilsson.

toned South Carolina. one after an.
other the states OF the Union are
sending instructed delegations for Mr..
Bryan and thus far the only men
whose names have been mentioned In
state conventions and who have So
cured either endorsement or instruc-
tions are Judge Gray with his own
state delegation OF six and Governor
johnson with his own state delegation
of twenty-five.
Around Governor Johnson's state
are the states of North Dakota. Iowa.
Illinois, Wisconsin and Michigan.
These states touch the boundary lines
Of Minnesota. They represent that
great northwest which is supposed to
be Governor Johnsons stronghold.
But every one Of them has in erected
its delegates to vote against him and

Concerning Pennsylvania.

The Standard Oil company through
its representative, James NJ. Gune,
OF Pittsburg, and the stea' trust
through the same representative were
able to control the socallel demo-
cratic convention of Pennsyi gan'a.
But that does not mean that they
will control the delegation to tn ma
tional convention at Denver tom the
Keystone state. The delegates who
stood back of Guffey, stood back of
the Standard OIL and the steel trust
and every one of them must have
been cognizant of that fact. The del.
egates to that convention who scu'

yer and who refused to vote for State
Treasurer Berry, the man who OK.
posed the colossal iniquities If the
boodling involved in furnishing tn
state capitol, must have felt that
Doodle was better than honor. Under
the Guffey regime in Pennsylvania
the democratic party has dwindlel | to
almost a nonentity. When Jim Guffey
got control and with the money Of the
Standard oil company and its allied
corporations, the democracy of hat
state had at least a fighting chance.
II occasionally elected a congressman
and on the presidential ticket IL cast
a very considerable minority vote.
Since Guffey has been the manager,
Guffey OF Pittsburg, hand in hand
with the Standard Oil crowd, with the
steel trust crowd, affiliated as no 9TH
er man in the state except palzcll
himself may be with the forces OF
plutocracy and republicanism, the
democratic vote has decreased year
after year until now Pennsylvania Is
not regarded as fighting ground for
either the presidency or the house OF
representatives. Mr.. Guffey has won
his four delegates. He himself is to
lead that delegation OF four But when
the democratic national convention
meets at Denver it Is altogether prob
able that Mr.. Guffey will hear some
words CONCERNING his amliation with
the forces which are exploiting the
people and that he will find that while
he has four instructed delegates, at
large, six or eight uninstructed dele
gates, the ffty.three instructed dis
trict delegates will make matters ex-
tremely interesting for him. As no
unit rule was adopted, every dele
gate may vote as his conscience or
any other controlling influence may
direct II Is perfectly apparent how
ever that whatever the controlling in
nuences employed by Mr., Guffey of
the Standard oil company may be- a
large majority of the delegates will
cast their votes In the way that the
people who elected them directed
them.

Nature and a woman's work com.
bined have produced the graudcst
remedy tor wOman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good old fashioned days Of
our grandmothcrS they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years in
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia +. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave To the women
of the world remedy for their pc.
culiar ills, more potent and etlica.

Lydia +. Pinkham's Vegetable

standard remedy for wOman's ills.

VIGILANCE PREVENTS
TAKING OF CITY STREET
Alleged EncrOachment by the
Ocean Shore Railroad Is
Promptly Checked

What is declared to have been an
attempt TO take over city street for
its own use was made by the Ocean
Shore railway company last night near
the pesthouse- The company put a
force of 20 men to work upon oil tanks
which encroached upon Rhode Island
street. The men were observed by the
health officials and members of the
board Of supervisors who were en-
gagged on a tour of inspection. A mes
sage was sent at once to the board
of works TO learn If g permit had been
granted TO the company and the reply
came that it had not. Thereupon the
police were notified and the work was
stopped.
The company's employees did not ap-
pear upon the scene until very late in
the afternoon, and in a short time a
score of laborers were busily engaged
in the street The attention of the
health inspectors was attracted and a
number Of supervisors, among them
Ralph McLeran, were Informed. The
undertaking had not progressed far
before the interruption occurred and
the task was abandoned.
