Johnson Also ACCENTS.

There was a prolonged demonstra-
ton when Colonel Roosevelt con-
cluded. 1t was renewed when Cover
nor Johnson was introduced. He said:
1T is with the utmost solemnity,
the deepest obligations that l come
to tell you that | have enlisted for the
war. enlisted long ago and | en-
listed in that fight which is your
fight now; the fight of all the ma
ton, thank Cod at last; humanitys
fight politically all over the land.
"Enlisting as have in that contest
for humanity that desired government
tally to make men better rather than
to make them richer, there is no ques-
ton, of course, but that OF necessity
must accept any place where | may
be drafted, and that | accept such a
place as you have accorded me in the
nations history today-because again
you are making history in this land
that | accept it with grateful heart
and with the utmost singleness of pur-
pose to carry out as we'll as l may
the little that may be my part to do.
There is new era, a new fight, a
new struggle that is abroad now.
There is new political creed; it is
a political creed that this great man
Colonel Roosevelt preached even
when he was in the White House; the
great creed of equal opportunity, of a
fair deal for all human kind. of giving
to every child in the race for life an
equal start; it is the creed in the last
analysis of humanity that is now the
creed of one of the great national
parties in the United States of
America.
IF in one little particle, if in one
small degree l may tighten the bur
den of this great man, this brave
fighter, who is today doing the great
est and bravest thing in Wis career,
then | shall be well repaid in this
campaign.
My one desire shall be from now
until November, with what virility,
what force, what fighting strength
have, to follow him under his leader
ship, to 60 forward to the better and
purer things in this country of ours,
to win the battle that you have just
commenced in this nation.
Il would rather go down to defeat
with Theodore Roosevelt than to go
to victory with any other presidential
candidate"

m with the delegates singing in lusty
voices. During the three days it was
in session, there was not a roll call nor
a ballot taken. The delegates asked
no such formalities, either in placing
their candidates in nomination or in
voting for them.
There was not voice of opposition
either to Colonel Roosevelt or Gov
ernor Johnson. The delay in nominal
ing them was due to the large num-
Der of seconding speeches allowed. AS
has always been the case in national
political conventions, the bulk of the
work of the Progressive gathering was
carried on in the committees.

FOR EVERY FAMILY
MEDICINE CHEST

To the head of every family the
health of its different members is
most important, and the value of an
agreeable laxative that is certain in
its effect is appreciated. One of the
most popular remedies in the family
medicine chest is combination of
simple laxative herbs with pepsin that
is known to druggists and physicians
as DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. This
preparation is mild and gentle in its
action on the bowels, yet positive in
It's effect. A dose of Syrup Pepsin at
night means relief next morning,
while its tonic properties tone up and
strengthen the muscles of stomach,
liver and bowels so that these organs
are able in short time TO again per-
form their natural functions without
help.
Druggists everywhere sell DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin in SOC and $1.OO
bottles. If you have never tried this
simple, inexpensive, yet effective
remedy, write to DR.. W. B. Caldwell,
POI Washington St., Monticello, ILL.,,
and ask for sample bottle. DR.. Cald-
well will be glad to send it without
any expense to you whatever.
