being asked what he thought of the
statement given out that this showed
a great weakness on the part of Taft

1t simply shows weakness on the
part of Mr.. Rawson and some of the
candidates who are running on the
republican ticket There are pl -ltg
of good Taft men in iowa and they
will be at the polls, and we will carry
Iowa for Taft. Notwithstanding the

people who have in the past accepted

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.l
CHICAGO, Oct. 22.-All three par
ties claim Illinois today. A statement
from Taft headquarters says Illinois
is safe for Taft; that the entire ticket
will be elected in this state. They
give Taft 475,O0O; Wilson 425,oo0, and
Roosevelt 100000. They base their
figures on poll of half the state just
completed, and predict that Wilson
will get fewer votes than Bryan did.
Roger Sullivan reported to Nation
al Chairman McCombs that Illinois
would vote strong for Wilson--that
the people here are sick and tired OF
the old system and are in line for
Wilson.
Progressive headquarters reiterated
their statement made last week that
Illinois would go for Roosevelt and
Funk by a good margin.

QUICKLY CURES the
WORST BAcKACHE.
New Remedy Makes Kidney
Troubles, Bladder Disorders,
and Rheumatic Pains Dis
appear, as if by Magic.

1t is no longer necessary for any
one to suffer with backaching, kidney
trouble, have disagreeable bladder
and urinary disorders to contend with,
or be tortured with rheumatism, stiff
joints, and its heart wrenching pains,
for the new discovery. Croxone, quick
ly and surely cures all such troubles.
Croxone is the most wonderful
remedy yet devised for Kidding the
system of uric acid and driving out
all the poisonous impurities which
cause such troubles 1t is entirely
different from all other remedies. 1t
is not like anything else ever used
for the purpose. 1t acts on the prin-
ciple of removing the cause. Pills,
tablets, and other remedies at the
best, merely stimulate the kidneys,
giving temporary relief. Croxone
cleans out the poisons.
It soaks right in through the walls,
membranes and Innings, like water in
a sponge, neutralizes, dissolves and
makes the kidneys sift out and fill
ter away, all the uric acid and pois-
/ op5 from the blood, and leaves the
kidneys and urinary organs clean,
strong, healthy and well.
1t matters not how long you have
suffered, how old you are, or what
J you have used, the very principle OF

Murphy is entitled to the credit OF
calling the attention of the public to
this matter, and his question, can
party live after its head has been cut
off and thrown into the waste basket
is pertinent. The fear is that in spite
of all the Taft clubs can do, there will
be other heads cut off. We dislike a
cut throat game all around and the
pity of it is that the dear people in
whose name it is done, will in the end
pay the penalties as they did from
1893 to 1885,

continued in regard to the matter,
