TAINTED CAMPAIGN LEADERS.

Thomas Sawyer Spiveyp president
of the Victor Lock and Safe Com
pany of Cincinnati, has given out
the following telegram which he
sent to President Roosevelt demand
ing the removal from the presi-
dents cabinet of campaign advisers
Senator Murray Crane and others
prominent for their connection with
trusts.
Spivey is a successful manufac-
turer and says he makes the plea in
the interest Of his many employees,
who are DESTROYS Of a return Of pros
perity. The telegram is as follows:
"To Theodore Roosevelt, White
House, Washington, d. c.:
"Inasmuch as you have put off
the robes of state to take an active
part in the present campaign, and
as | am an employer of several
hundred workmen who feel the
effects Of the present industrial de-
preston. | do not deem it improper
to suggest that the enforced with
drawal of Messrs. Haskell and
Dupont from further official partici-
patton in the conduct of the cam
paign is commendable.
"But as neither of these gentle
men has been charged with conduct
of which others are not guilty, it
would be doing them a gross in
justice to retain in your cabinet of
campaign advisers Charles f. Brook
er, of the New York, New Haven &
Hartford railroad, against which are
pending antitrust suits; William
B. Mckinley, the Illinois Traction
magnate; George R. Sheldon, affiliat,
ed with Morgan, Hartman and the
Standard Oil; Senator Murray Crane
head of the Bell Telephone trust;
Frank 0. Lowden, of the Pullman
car trust, and Arthur |. Vorys, who
was disbarred from practice before
the pension department for ALLEGED
fraudulent pension transactions.
81 believe it is in your power tt
have these men removed, and to b'
consistent you should do this, anc
do it quickly.
THOMAS SAWYER SPIyEY."

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO.
Their Unceaslng Work Keeps Us

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains
of Impure matter daily, when unhealthy
some part Of this impure matter is left
in the blood. This brings on many
diseases and symptoms pain in the
back, headache, nervousness, hot, dry
skin, rheumatism, govt, gravel, dis
orders Of the eyesight and heariug, dig
%ziness, irregular heart, debility, drowsi-
ness, drospy, deposits in the urine, etc.
But IL yon keep the filters right you
will have no trouble with your kidneys.
Mrs. John Conwell, living at 30S Il.
Church St., Greenwood, Miss, says:
"A neighbor knowing that | was severe
" troubled with backache told me she
had used Doan's Kidney Pills with ex-
cellent results, and advised me to try
them. She gave me a few for trial, and
I used them as directed. received re-
lief in a short time from the sharp
twinges through my kidneys and con-
tinued their use until ! was free from

DEMOCRATIC CLAIMS.

For the benefit of the Democrat who IS unable to get any consolation from the above print below the claims of Chairman Mack of the Demo cratic National Committee:
 New York, October 24-National Chairman Mack authorized statement to-day in which he claimed the election of William J. Bryan by landslide He announced that his reports showed that Bryan would receive at least SO1 electoral votes, or 50 more than IS necessary for choice. Maek's forecast of the election follows: "Rumb- lings and thunder of Bryan landslide in the West are already heard in the Eastern states and to-day I confidently predict the election of Bryan that the landslide will extend to the shores of the Atlantic. It means the Democratic nation al ticket will carry every doubtful state i'll this section, and in rock-ribbed Republican districts the ma jorities of that party i'll recent years will be reduced to the minimum.
 Easing my forecast the most conservative lines, in view ol the optimistic reports l have re- ceived from all sections of the country. figure that Bryan will have at least 30l electoral votes, or 50 more than IS necessary for choice.
 .'In addition to the 166yotes of the solid South, and i'll this 1 include Maryland am confident that Bryan will carry New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Idaho, Montana, Colorado, Nebraska, Nevada, Indiana, Ohio, Delaware, Kansas and South Dakota total Of 501 votes. All over the country there IS d change of 25 to 50 per cent.
