Four Democrats Who Had steadfastIy
Refused to Support 7sokham at
Last Voted for Bradley
and Elected Him.

Frankfort, KY, Feb. 30. = Amid a
Bcene of widest excitement ex-Gov.
William Bradley. Republican, was on
Friday elected United States senator
to succeed James b. McCreary. Brad
ley's term of six years will begin on
March 4, 1909. He received Ga votes,
four of which were cast by Democrats
opposed to ex-Gov. Beckham, leading
Democratic candidate for senator. who
was endorsed for the Office at the
state primaries.
Senators II. 8. McNutt, Albert CharL
Df Louisville, and Representative Lii
lard, of Boyle county, were the Dem
ocrats who voted for Bradley. Until
yesterday they had voted for various
Democrats for senator. but after vot-
Ing for Bradley they refused to recall
their votes and unite with Beckham's
supporters on some Democrat other
than Beckham. AS there were 126
members OF the two houses voting in
the Joint session, the speaker finally
declared Bradley elected, having a ma
jority of those present ua
The co,hpletion of Fridays first roll
call in joint session showed; Bradley
Ga. Beckham 60, Blackburn /, James !.
Before the speaker could announce the
result the Democrats obtained a re-
capitulation and attempted to break
the quorum by leaving the hall. but
they soon came back accompanied by
Beckham, who authorized the with
drawal OF his name and released the
Democrats from the primary nomina-
tion pledge to him In hope that some
other Democrat could be elected ~ the
four boiling Democrats could be per-
suaded TO change their votes. These
four men were surrounded by party
friends and urged to withdraw their
support from Bradley and re-elect SEN
ator James McCreary, or any Democrat
they might name. but the four men
declared that the proposal came too
late.
The Democratic leaders even prom
lsed caucus TO select a candidate at
which the name of Beckham would not
be presented, but the boilers stead
fastly refused all offers. The ballot
was then recast. with the following re-
suit: Bradley 60, Beckham Is, James
Is. MoCreary 10, Mayo s, Allen 2,
Smith 2, Peak 2, Newman |, Hunt |,
t,lliston /, Stanley l, Blackburn |.
Cantrill I, Ellis /, Cammack /, Sullivan
!, McElroy |.
In speech accepting his election
Mr. Bradley thanked the speaker for
his impartial rulings. He promised
TO use every effort as senator to pro-
cure the repeal OF the six.cant tax on
tobacco.
Representative Lillard was the only
one of the four Democrats to explain
his vote for Bradley. He said he
thought the time had come to throw
off party shackles and to break up the
machine" and, although he did sup
port the Democratic ticket for 40
years, he believed his vote for Bradley
was the best Democratic vote he
EVER cast"
Balloting for senator began on jan
uary 10 and ballot was taken every
day thereafter when quorum was
had. The deciding ballot was the

The VALUE or CHARCOAL


Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
disinSectant and purifier in nature,
but few realize It's value when taken
into the human system for the same
cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is remedy that the more
you take of 1t the better; 1t Is not
a drug at all, but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present
On the stomach and intestines and
carries them out OF the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating on
ions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and i'm
proves the complexion. !. whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural
and eminently safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases. which
collect In the stomach and bowels: II
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison OF catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another, but probably the
best charcoal and the most for the
money is in Stuarts Charcoal Loz-
enges; they are composed of the fin
est powdered Willow charcoal, and
other harmless antiseptics IN tablet
form or rather in the form Of
large pleasant tasting lozenges, the
charcoal being mixed with honey.
The daily use OF these lozenges
will soon tell In much improved
condition of the general health, bet
ter complexion, sweeter breath and
purer blood, and the beauty OF II Is,
that no possible harm can result from
their continued use. but, on the con-
|trary. great benefit.

the benefits of charcoal. says: "I ad-
wise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges 10

had there not been shortage. but
there was always good market for

of the country was naturally adapted
to raising fruit he said there were
some drawbacks, among them being
the frost, scale. moth and principally
that people are Of the opinion that an
orchard will take care Of itself, and
this will not do, as much time, labor
and money must be spent. to raise a
good orchard.
