his sinister purpose. w r. Hearst is
freebooter upon the political high
seas, a buccaneer who respects no
party flag, privateer commissioned
by avarice and ambition. His sails
are SET to catch the breeze from any
point of the political compass, and he
makes for any port that will afford
him shelter. w. r.. Hearst's political
career has been as crooked as the ser
rents trail, and his principles as
shifting as the desert sands And the
democratic party has time and again
been the victim Of hs duplicty, and
time ana again has ne sought to read
ii when it refused him aid.
A Hearst meeting was held recent
liz in Chicago, and plans looking to
the capture of the democratic organic.
alton in Illinois were discussed. 1t was
tlo beginning of a proposed move
raent to make the organization a
distinctly Hearst organization, and
eventually to place the party patron
age in the hands of Mr. Hearst 1t is
proposed movement that can in no
event be of benefit 10 the democratic
marty in Illinois, and must result in
creating discord and splitting the
party into warning factions. The
democratic party in Illinois has suffer
ed enough already from self-consti-
tuted party bosses, ana instead of TAX
ing on another the time is ripe for
kicking the stuffing out OF those we
now have. The democrats of Illinois
are amply able to select their leaders
when the proper time arrives, and the
rank and file need not be ringed and
led by the ropes. The party organiza,
ton should not be made the tool OF
any man or party boss, The time and
the occasion will produce the man to
lead, and when the leader rises from
the ranks the par,y 49, Jecome a
harmonious force ana a power in poll
tics. In recent years the democratic
party OF Illinois has spent its energy
and wasted its opportunities in fac
tional fights Party bosses have en-
listed democrats to fight their battles
and every campaign has been nothing
more than a struggle for supremacy
within the party 1t Is high time to
stop this damnphoolishness and get
down to business Democrats should
shun Hearst or any other would-be
car of democracy, and they should
make the party the party of the peo-

HEALTHY
MOTHERS

Women who bear children and
remain healthy are those who pre-
pare their systems in advance Of
baby's coming. Unless the mother
aids nature in it's prenatal work the
crisis finds her system unequal to
the demands made upon it, and
she is often left with weakened
health or chronic ailments. No
remedy is SO truly a help to nature
as Mothers Friend, and no ex-
pectant mother should fail to use
lit. 1t relieves the pain and dis
comfort caused by the strain on the
ligaments, makes plant and elastic
those fibres and muscles which
nature is expanding, prevents numb
mess Of limbs, and soothes the in
hammation Of breast glands. The
system being thus prepared by
Mothers Friend dispels the fear
that the crisis may not be safely
