WHY HESITATE?
An Offer That Involves No Money
Risk If You Accept IL.

We are so positive that our remedy
will completely relieve constipation no
matter how chronic it may be, that we
offer to furnish it free of all cost if it
fails.
Constipation is commonly caused by
weakness of the nerves and muscles of
the large intestine. To expect a cure
you must therefore tone up and
strengthen these organs and restore
them to healthier activity.
We want you to try ReXall Orderlies
on our guarantee. They are eaten like
candy, and are particularly good for
children. They seem to act directly on
the nearves and muscles of the bowels.
They apparently have a neutral action
on the other organs. They do not
purge or cause other inconvenience.
We will refund your money if they do
not over come chronic or habitual con-
stipation and thus aid to relieve the
myriads of associate or dependent
chronic ailments. Try ReXall Order
lies at our risk. Three sizes, 10c., Csc,
and soc. Sold only at our store-The
Rexall Store. Riley Drug Co., 1O2 S.

OTHER QUESTIONS or MOMENT.
Doubtless a number of momentous

ventiOn which will call for determined
opposition and those weapons of con-
servatism which have done much in

To the Editor of The Democrat;

TO the Editor of The Democrat:
With respect to my views and posi-
tion on the several most probable
questions likely to engage the mind of
the coming constitutional convention,
except the initiative and referendum,
and the recall, which l considered at
length In your paper last week, the
following is submitted to your readers:
FUNDAMENTAL INSTITUTIONS.
am in favor of preserving the fun
damental institutions of this state, and
as few radical changes in the constitu-
ton as public interest will permit
NEW METHODS OF TAXATION.
distinctly favor a reform in our tax
method. SO far as at present decided
am for the classification of property
mot the classification of tax-Dayers), {,
the just and equal imposition of the
burden of taxes on all property Of its
respective class, liberal exemptions to
the householder, and the common OK
emptiOns as to religious, educational
and charitable institutions and prop
erty.
HOME RULE FOR CITIES,
As principle or policy / favor the
largest measure of home rule for cities
capable Of being enjoyed without vio-
lence to any general policy of the state.
INTOXICATING LIQUORS
am in favor of state wide prohibl-
tion, tho submission to the people of
the simple, single question of state
