Every one who suffers from rheuma-

serves a thorough trial.
Mr.. w. R. Harper, of Altoona, Kan ,

DR.. Williams Pink Pills are also highly

j. w. Creech of Herington, at one
time a member of the legislature, has
announced himself as a candidate for
lieutenant governor of Kansas. The
announcement does not come as a sur
prise to the politicians of the state, as
! it has been expected for some time
Mr.. Creech is running against two
other candidates for the position
w. NJ. Glenn of Tribune, Kan, and
r. ]. Hopkins of Garden City
The announcement of ]. w. Creech
will cause considerable stir in Kansas
politics. Mr.. Creech is an old railroad
contractor with the same success in
the railroad world as Governor Stubs
Mr.. Creech is also known to be good
friend of the governor. When Mr.
Creech was in the legislature from
Dickinson county several years ago he
acted as chairman of the ways and
means committee and was considered
one of the most conservative and one
of the strongest business men in the
house. He was forced to retire on ac-
count of dangerous illness.
J. w. Creech has been a resident of
Herington ever since 1885. He has
, served three terms mayor of that
city and at the present time is a cOun-
Gilman from his ward. He is presf-
dent of the Bank of Harrington, one of
the strong banking institutions of cen
trail Kansas, and owns 2.0OO acres OF
farm land in Dickinson county. Mr..
Creech has built 1000 miles of rail-
road for the Rock Island in Kansas
and Oklahoma
The following is the businesslike,
straightforward announcement made
by Mr.. Creech through the Harrington
Times and the Harrington Sun today:

tenant governor involves much re-
sponsibi1ity in state legislation. I am
Republican and believe in the prin
ciples of the party as interpreted and
carried out by President Taft.
''These principles 1 shall endeavor,
if elected, to follow In Kansas affairs.
My ambition Is to help give Kansas
straight business administration, with
the closest economy in every depart
ment possible with good service; to
employees for every state position; to
enforce impartially ali laws: to insure
for every citizen of Kansas, regardless
