"STOP ATTACKS"-PERKINS
Says Opponents of Roosevelt
May Explain Platforms.

George w. Perkins, chairman OF the
executive committee OF the Progressive
party, made the suggestion yesterday that
the opponents Of HIS party might perhaps
refrain from any further criticism Of his
party and its platform. and continue the
campaign by simply devoting their time
TO an elucidation OF their own platforms.
Governor Wilson's announcement that
he would withdraw temporarily from the
stump because Of Colonel Roosevelts In
ability TO appear was commented upon
by Mr.. Perkins, as follows:
while we OF course. appreciate the
courtesy OF the other parties in with
drawing from the stump, there is no rea-
son why they should not go ahead with
the campaign. We think they should
cease attacking the Progressive party,
and that they might explain their own
platforms. 1t would be a good time for

yesterday and expressed his qualification

The Keynote of Health
Is the Liver

Scientists have definitely learned that
the Liver is one Of the most important
organs of the human system. It is the
sieve which separates the good from
the bad, the nutriment from the poison.
Allow the Liver to become torpid or
inactive, the poison is sent through the
system and disease is the result. First,
you become bilious and constipated and
later the consequences are more seri j..

clock. In order to enjoy life we sub
ject ourselves TO dietary indiscretion.
II the proper remedy is then used the
trouble Is quickly ended. A remedy
which comes nearest to the heart Of the
people is a natural remedy. The natu-
ray remedy most widely used is Hun

POLICE WATCHED SCHRANK
Noticed Him Waiting for the
Colonel at Railroad Station.
[By TELEGRAPH 10 The Tribune. !

Milwaukee, Oct. l6.-The police are now
positive that Schrank had planned to kill
Roosevelt on his arrival at the South
western depot, for Sergeant Gleason and
.Patrolman Bradley recognized the pris-
oner as one who had excited their suspi-
cions when they were trying to hold the
crowds in check.
Sergeant Gleason noticed that the man
chung TO post at the station gate with
determination, despite the shouts and Cr-
ders Of the police and committeeman for
the crowd to move and make passage
way.
Another thing in the mans conduct that
aroused Just a glimmer of suspicion was
the persistent manner in which he kept
his right hand in his coat pocket, as
though holding something Of value and
fearing II might be stolen.
Schrank kept one arm crooked around
an iron fence rail and waited. Gleason
said he called out to Patrolman Bradley
and pointed the man out TO him, at the
same time telling the officer 10 order the
man away from the gate.
