he maintains this attitude. 1t is practical
ly certain that a mass meeting will be
called and he VIII be placed in the field

become a candidate being considered the
only thing which can put a check to his
boom for governor.
The sentiment here is undoubtedly
strongly in favor of his offering for the

is general and not confined to an enthusi-
astic few. That he is fit timber for the
ONCE IS also known, and it is also GER
tain that he deserves the honor.

Rupture-as explained In our free book

Just as bandage or splnt is the only way

Far more than truss-far more than
merely a device for holding the rupture IN

Self-reguIating. self-adjusting.
No belt. elastic band or springs around your

cost you a cent.
