pf Stuttgart, Ark: you would greatly
oblige me if you would introduce
Hunts Lightning Oil at Milledgeville.
H., as l have many friends and rela-
tives there. in whom | am much con-

WHAT SAVED JUNGLE JOE"

The other day Mr.. Blair, in rum
maging around his house, stumbled
in an attic upon the lifting apparatus
long since discarded. 1t reminded him
of the days when he and Cannon were
on the verge OF the grave and de-
SPARED Of attaining old age. In great
excitement he went down to the CAPT
tol, hunted up Uncle Joe" and broke
the news to him.
"Joe." said he, do you remember
way back yonder when you and !
didn't think we would live more than
a week."
Il certainly do" said Uncle Joe."'"l
think you were the thinnest, sickest
man In the world and l lived in con.
slant fear that l would have to buy q
pair of black gloves and walk slow be-
hand your hearse. Member that old
lifting machine we used to have?"
You bet l do" said Senator Blair.

good as new, too"

right"

Old Lifting Machine That Long Ago
Proved Health Preserver.

The secret of perpetual youth, which
has permitted Uncle Joe" Cannon to
be as young as he is at 72, has just
been rediscovered here by a former
senator from New Hampshire, says
the Washington correspondent of the
Boston Herald. Henry w. Blair, who
is no youngster himself, having been
born in 1884, and the present speaker
were fellow members of the house 80
years ago. Both at that time were in
poor health. They suffered from in
digestion and were so frail and puny-
looking that each anticipated the ne
cessity of purchasing a bouquet to
place with reverent hands upon the
grave of the other. They lived in the
same boarding house in those days
and, to prolong their lives, entered
into partnership for the purchase of
lifting machine, which they erected In
a hallway outside of their rooms and
upon which they practiced diligently
night and morning with view to the
Improvement of their physical beings.

tured by cheers by the malcontents in
the delegates seats but the strong
arm" contingent governed by the
bosses" sits quietly until he fires his
broadside. Then possibly boss
gets up, or the chairman gets in 4
happy remark or two and there is a
thunder-roll of applause from the
bosses gang. The respectable gen
tleman has simply talked for the
pleasure of having his cerebellum vi
brate. He might as we'll have recited

Our ward stood eight to seven in one

yelled bloody murder" at the steal
but, bless you, that convention went
right ahead with its business as easily
as if seven men standing upright in
their seats and bowling Mister Chair
man; Mister Chairman" was mere
tableau and nothing that concerned
the convention in the remotest de-
gree.
BY the way, convention oratory is
divided into two kinds, the turned
loose" and the ''squelched." The
bosses" and the chairman have their
eyes on their own orators, and very
little latitude is allowed the opposition
'jaw-smiths. 1t is laughable to
watch the frantic gyrations of some
silver-tongued wordjuggler, especially
if he be yoNng man, who is trying to
get the chairmans eye in order to let
off a philippe against the chairman 5
tyranny. His companions may hoist
him high on chair, where he bal
ances himself precariously while he
shrieks "Meestair Chairmannnn," and
froths like something stricken with
hydrophobia, but the chairman goes
placidly on. "Twenty-second ward, IS
for Smith" is the announcement, when
in fact the announcement was just the
other way. This raises a counterfeit
tant and the Twenty-second ward dele
cation goes on the war-path. But,
tush, what's the use? The game goes
merrily on and at last the youthful

residence. He has successfully
practiced law in the courts of
western Kansas for more than
twenty years and there can be
no doubt of his ability to handle
: the affairs of the office in man
ner entirely satisfactory to all,
for he perfectly understands its
duties, having honorably filed
the place several terms. There
will be no mistake made in elect
ing Mr.. Nelson to the place.
COUNTY TREASURER.
Gregg Marshall, our present
county treasurer, is a candidate
! for reelection. He has served
well and faithfully in this capac-
ity for the past two years, and
because of his peculirr fitness
for this particular line of work
and because he is true blue Re
publican and believes in and adj
yocates those principles to which
we are all indebted, he deserves
the second term which he aspires
to. Mr.. Marshall is we'll known
and liked in Trego county and
there is no doubt that in the No
vember election he will receive a
vote that he may be proud of.
REGISTER OF DEEDS.
There is probably no office in
the county needs a more careful
painStaking person to discharge
its duties than that of register of
deeds and in selecting A. P. Hin
shaw for this place we have just
such a man. Mr.. II. is number
ed among the earlier settlers of
the county and during his long
stay has made for himself an en-
viable reputation. Mr.. H. scorns
to stoop to the base or low things
of life and his character and
standing is such that can be
safely put into any office of trust.
He is well qualified for this line
of work and the people cannot
possibly make a mistake by plac-
ing him in this officeand if
elected there need be no
fear that the office will not be
run in a thoroughly competent
and capable manner
PROBATE JUDGE.
In selecting A. S. Peacock for
the office of probate Judge it
seems that a more competent
person for the place would be
hard to find Mr.. Peacock
is thoroughly acquainted with
the duties of the office and we
are safe in saying that Trego1
county has never had a more
painstalzing, careful and perfect
ly systematic official than Mr..
Peacock He is one of Trego
county's early settlers and has
always been strong advocate of
the right and whenever confront
ed with any perplexing problems
that involve question of princi-
pie Mr. p. has ever been found
honorable and upright. At an
earlier period Mr.. Peacock was
superintendent of public instruc-
ton and through his endeavors
he has had the pleasure of seeing
boys and girls of that time grow
up to be useful men and women.
He has always been interested in
thethings pertaining to education
and the betterment of all the
things that help TO make life
woI tn living. He certainly de-
serves to be returned to this of
fee and his election without
doubt is sure to take place

OUR CANDIDATES.
A Brief History of the Men Who Re-
Ceiyed the Republican NOmina=
lions for the Various
Offices.
REPRESENTATIVE.

Q. M. Bell, of Franklin town
ship, is our candidate for repre-
sentative. and could we find a
man more eminently fitted for
the place? He came to Trego in
the early SOS and settled on a
farm in the south part of the
county and engaged in farming
and stock raising. During his
long residence here he has won
an enviable reputation for hon
esty and integrity by dealing
square with his fellow man. Not
one word derogatory to him or
his character can honestly and
truthfully be said. Is not this
the kind of a man whom we
would feel proud of as our rep
reSentative? A vote for him will
be vote for the continuance of
the Roosevelt policies and the
entire administration.
COUNTY CLERK.
Otto Young came to Trego
county twenty eight years ago
and settled on farm in Frank
lin township and engaged in ag-
ricultural pursuits and stock
raising. 1t is vastly important
that competant man be entrust-
ed with the duties of this office
and should he be elected the peo-
pie will find they have not mis-
placed their confidence and as he
is endowed with the qualifica-
tionS which are so necessary for
a man to possess we feel if elect
ed Mr.. Young will make good"
and that the Office will be prop
erly managed under his careful
admins tration.
SHERIFF.
In the matter of sheriff the
republicans have chosen wisely
in the selection of Theodore
Courtney. When the dark war
cloud hung over our nation from
1861 to 1865 and when the call
for troops was made Mr.. Court
ney without hesitation went to
face death and privation for his
country's cause and served well
and faithfully as a soldier till the
close of the war. Mr.. Courtney
does not make his war record a
part of his political campaign.
but these are facts that are
worthy of recognition. He under
stands the duties of the office
well, having served very efficient
~ for two terms. Mr.. Court
ney' 5 policies and principles are
too well known to dwell at length
upon and if elected, as he is sure
to be, he will, prove himself
worthy of the confidence of the
people.
COUNTY ATTORNEY.
The office of county attorney
IS one of the most important in
the county. Many questions of
serious Importance oft times
arise and man understanding
the law and having qualifications
necessary to successfully con
duct the affairs of the Office is
absolutely imperative and in
John A. Nelson we have such a
man. Mr. Nelson is an honest
upright citizen of many years
