Let the Doubters Ask Ne.


James Houser of Henderson, Iowa,
wrote the following open letter to the
United Doctors. the famous Specialists
who are located on the second floor
of the Neville block. Omaha:
Dear Doctors-I have been SO
benefited by the treatment I have re-
ceived from you that l feel I ought
to write and thank you personally. I
have been telling all my friends and
neighbors about you and have been
the means Of many of them going to
see you for different ailments and
diseases. and all who have taken your
treatment have been benefited and
pronounce your methods OF cure moth
ing less than wonderful. For myself.
I can say. truthfully. that you have
done me SO much good that I can
scarcely explain 1t. I haven't had
any of my nervous spells since I COM
menced your treatment and / have
better health in every way than I
have had in the past ten years.
Il feel grateful to you and recon-
mend your work TO every one. II
any one Is SO foolish to doubt the
ability of SO great a medical firm as
the United Doctors, just tell them to
ask me and I can also refer them to
many others.

The Bulkaley forces in the contest over the United States sen ator ship,
 nov held by Senator Morgan G Bulk eley, are very plainly worried From the time that the candidacy of ex-Gov
 George P. Mclean was announced
 there has been uneasiness on the part of Bulkeley and his friends It was long since admitted by some of the more prominent of the latter that If Connections were to have a popular election for United States senator,
 Mclean would be swept into office by a large majority of the voters. As the returns from the oaucusses which are nominating representatives and senators for the state legislature come in, the crystalizing of this sentiment in these nominations is becoming daily more evident The candidates who are openly for Mclean are winning all along the line. One of the straws which show how the wind blows is the retirement of Andrew F. Gates from the railroad commission in order to take a more active part in politics.
 Since it is hard to see how he can take a more active part than he has taken this is ts ken as a joke. but it is no joke to the Bulkeley forces.
 Their latest move was. to; claim that Senator Walter l.. Goodwin of Hart ford, a cousin Of Candidate Charles A. Goodwin, who heads the republican
 state ticket. has turned from Mclean to Bulkeley and was to be reno1ninated on that basis. Senator Goodwin has promptly denied that anything of the sort is the case, and says that he is not announcing himself for anybody and has not decided to allow the use of his name as 8 candidate himself yet. It is freely said in Hartford that 'Oharlie" Goodwin cannot carry the city for governor unless he comes out for Bulkeley and that this fact has been announced to him. and the an nouncement of the defection" of his cousin is doubtless intended to have
