We believe that men should be
as honest and act as honorable in
a political contest as in the ordi-
nary -avocations of business. Dis
honesty, debauchery and frauds
can not be defended by any up
right man, can not be justified
by emergency nor become the
measure of righteous results. To
walk in the ways of political vir-
tue, to shun the paths that lead
to frauds, you must have leaders
true to the great principles of
justice, men who will not dirty
their hands to make money or
reputation. This time, this year,
the Democrats will have such a
man assthey have had before-a
man whose living is in keeping
with his preaching, who has
been before the people long
enough to.be known and is known
to be true in every particular.
w. ]. Bryan is the man, and to
his preaching, his living, is large
ly duelthe efforts in States and
nation to sweep cheats and frauds

est accounting. He is the man
to our liking and he suits millions

WE'D, MAY Is, 1908.

The Republican Conventions
held at London and Louisville
last week were not in keeping
with the doctrine Republicans
preach, if reports are true. For
years Republicans of this State
have been denouncing frauds,
clamoring for a free vote and a
fair count outspoken in their
disapproval of machine methods
parading before the people the
sins of the Democratic party as
they pretended to see them.
How is it now ? What think the
people any way a? Have the Re-
publican leaders been acting hy-
pocracy, or have they suddenly
fell from their lofty pearch and
sunk into the slums of the sins
they denounce This may be a
question with some of the dear
people, Ibut to our mind time nev-
er existed when they wanted a
free votesand a fair count unless
such action would land them win
ners, and in Kentucky it would
not ordinarily do so. The Con-
ventionfat London, to select del
egates to the National Conven-
ton, was one which discredits
all pretentions to fairness on the
line of a free vote and a fair
count. The adherents of Ed
wards and Taft took possession
of the convention and run rough
Shod over the Matthews and
Fairbanks people which met
with a vigorous and unsuccessful
protest. After disposing of ev-
cry proposition to suit themselves
adjourned. At this juncture the
other side undertook to hold a
convention, but were left in dark
ness by the lights being turned
off. 1t is reported threatening
language and demonstrations
of force were resorted to in Or
der to gain a victory. At Louis
vile the State convention was
equally one-sided and fully under
the control of their new boss,
Marshall Built, who put to the
wall the, other boss, VIM. O.
Bradley. In the history of Ken
lucky politics the recent primary
in Louisville, the conventions in
London and Louisville take the
lead in highhanded frauds, boss
ism and machine methods. In
the face of such actions, Repub-
lican against Republican, COM
hitting frauds, ignoring the
rights they ought to respect, act
ing under their own party rules,
who can credit that party with
sincerity in its clamor before the
people for a free vote and a fair
count-for better political living.

WORKS ALL DAY. And Studies at Night on Grape Nuts
 Food.

Some of the worlds great men have worked during the day and studied evenings to fit themselves for greater things. But it requires a good constitution generally to do this.
 A Ga man was able to keep it up with ease after he had learned the sustaining power of Grape Nuts, all though he had failed in health be- fore he changed his food supply. He says:
 Three years ago I had severe at tack of stomach trouble which left me unable to eat anything but bread and water. .-
 The nervous strain at my office from am to 6 pm. and improper food caused my health to fail rap idly. Cereals and so-called "Foodsr were tried without benefit until I saw Grape Nuts mentioned in the paper.
 Tn hopeless desperation I tried this food and at once gained strength, flesh and appetite. I am now able to work all day at the office and study at night, without the nervous exhaus- tion that was usual before 1 tried Grape Nuts.
 Tt leaves me strengthened, refresh ed, satisfied; nerves quieted and ton ed up, brainwaste restored, and in- tellect frightened. I would have been living skeleton, or more likely dead one by this time, if it had not been for Grape Nuts" There's a Reason"
