which the town vii. be willing 10 part
with for the honor of housing one of
the biggest political shows on earth,
and the other is the party influence
which such meeting always eXerts
upon the community where it takes
place. This last condition will be one
of paramount importance with both
parties and there will be some nice
juggling between the different fac
tons when the executive committees
of the Democrats and Republicans
meet.

1t is thought, however, that the Re
publican convention will go TO the
east in an endeavor to stop the Dem
ocratic landslide which threatens to
demoralize the ranks of the G. 0. p.

not be made without a hard fight from

lieve that western national conyen-
ton would quiet the insurgent tenden-

Some of the new senators are famil-

Charles T.. Townsend. of Michigan,
who succeeds julius Caesar Burrows.

publican side of the house. He has
been specialist of railroad legisla-

most effective measures providing for
Federal control of rates. capitaliza-

The passing Of the odd guard" and
the coming Of the new, placing the

epoch making in the congressional
chronicles Of Washington.
The ranks of the stand-patters have
been moved down. one by one. Sen
ator Aldrich abdicated his throne
months ago. knowing full well that the
popular storm of protest against his
rule had grown too strong for him or
any group of centralized interests to
resist. Senator Hale of Maine, the
autocrat OF autocrats. whone AFRO

also leaves the seat which he has held
for more than thirty years; Senator

will show that n combination of the

surgents--a combination which has
been effected before to good advar

control the senate. IL is not too much
10 say. therefore. that the Democrats
can undertake tariff revision without
the fear Of obstruction tactics on mere

the next house by an overwhelming
majority and can control the senate on
all progressive measures.

picturesque figures which pass out OF
her ken today. Senators Aldrich.

retirement by Senator Charles Dick of

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portions of
the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness, and that Is by con
stitutlonal remedies. Deafness is
caused by an lnaamed condition
of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is
innamed you have a rumbiing
sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deaf
ness Is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to Its nor.
NAL condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of
ten are caused by Catarrh, which
is nothing but an inaamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.
