T. w. Brahany, of Washington, cor
respondent for the Sentinel had the
following paragraph in this mornings
issue Of his paper:
Until Senator LaFollette RECEIVERS
from his illness nothing will be done
about the Grand Rapids postotfice ap-
pointment. 1t is learned that Mr..
LaFollete has submitted to Repre-
sentative Morse the names of five men
at Grand Rapids, any one of whom
would be acceptable to him as post
master. The Grand Rapids contest
is being followed by the Wisconsin
congressional delegation with keen in
terest. 1t is believed if r. A. Nc
Donald, who was recommended by
Representative Morse, is turned down
it will be impossible to have any
further agreement about patronage
among senators and representatives.

ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTE.

At the coming spring election the
Republicans of the state of Wisconsin
and the Tenth Congressional Dis
trict is included-will be called upon
to elect four delegates at large, and
two delegates from the district, to
represent them in the Republican
National convention which meets in
Chicago next June to nominate candi-
date for president of the United
States. This is an important election,
and when the votes are counted the
returns will undoubtedly show that
the voters of the district and those of
the whole state, have elected men
who will stand by Senator Robert M.
LaFollette until the finish.
Never have the people of this state
had so good a chance to nominate
their "favorite son." as they have
this year. Never before have they
had so prominent an advocate of
the peoples interest,"" and when
they 60 into the national convention
with a solid front for man who is SC
pre-eminently of the Roosevelt type,
| the chances are that Wisconsin, fol-
| the first time in it's history, will pro-
duce president of the United States.
The:people should insist upon know
! ing that the delegates who seek their
votes, are back of Wisconsin's candi-
date to stay. Many evolves in Sleeps
clothing" will bid for their favor, but
the chance Wisconsin has to secure a
president, must not be jepordized 10y
doubt. Support the delegates who
will be presented to you by the La
| Toilette committee and take nothing

SOUGHT AND FOUND THEM NOT.
Few, Indeed, There Seem to Be Who
Really Love Nature.

One came from another world He
went down Fleet street and saw the
weary, witless men who wrote daily of
Nature and her beauties. He went to
theater and heard those who sang
Of her charm. He went into the coun-
try, and heard peasants grumbling of
their lot and signing for the town.,
He watched "sportsmen," who rent the
magnificent silences with the harsh
crack of rifles, and destroyed wanton-
ly the blithest birds and beasts. Then
he met a philosopher.
81 have seen those who live with
Nature, those who ravish her splen-
doris, those who write and sing of her.
Now, where are those who love her."
And, like all men with a reputation,
the philosopher was silent-Westmin

Cure Them.

A Grand Rapids Citizen Shows How to
Cure Them.
Many people never suspect their
kidneys. If suffering from a lame,
weak or aching back they think that
it is only muscular weakness; when
urinary trouble sets in they think it
will soon correct itself. And so it is
with all the other symptoms of kidney
disorders. That is just where the
danger lies. You must cure these
troubles or they may lead to diabetes
or Bright's disease. The best remedy
to use is Doan's Kidney Pills. 1t cures
all ills which are caused by weak or
diseased kidneys. Grand Rapids
people testify to permanent cures.
E. H. Chapman, living corner,
Wisconsin and Ninth ST., N, Grand
Rapids, Wis.,, says: Il suffered with
a dull nagging backache and sharp
shooting pains across my loins for a
time. II attempted to stoOp or lift
anything, sharp pains would pass
through my body and felt miserable.

the back of my head, and when 1

my work. My kidneys were disordered
