Stephens Tells
Why Wilson Is
Impossible

HZL rLH +A
WASHINGTON. Feb. 21.-Represent-
ative Dan W. Stephens, recently elected
Democratic member from Nebraska,
came out last night in a caustic state
ment characterizing Governor Wilson
and Governor Harmon as "bushwhack-
ers' n favoring the nomination of
Speaker Clark.
The Nebraska Representative says
Speaker Clark has been a Democratic
wheel horse for twenty years, while
part of this time Wilson and Harmon
were lending their aid to the election
of Republican Presidents.
Wilson seems to be impossible for
two reasons" said, Stephens. "The
first is that he has supported only one
Democratic candidate~for President In
twenty years, and that was Parker.
Boiling three races out of four does not
qualify a1man in the Democratic party
as a Observation-Disclosures.
The second reason is that Wilson
ha5 written too many b. ,lSs against
voters born in foreign countries, men
who will rise UP to plague us in the
event of Wilson's nomination and
make his campaign .e Of defense
rather than offense.'

Henry Watterson's address. ITO the
Democrats of Kentucky may be re-
garded as the first gun in the opening
campaign for control of the Kentucky
delegation in the National Democratic
Convention.
The editor OF the Courier -Journal has
written his friends, Withholding his
consent to the use of his name in that
connection. A well-defined movement
to instruct the delegation to vote for
him as Kentucky's choice of a Presi-
dental nominee has beer for some
time on foot. Apart from regarding
as rather complimentary than real,
Mr.. Watterson wishes that the contro-
versy between himself and Governor
woodrow Wilson be obscured by no
personal ambitions or selfish aims on
his part.
The Wilson forces will be organized
and led by former Governor Beckham.

Vi Your Stomach Is Lacking in
Digestive Power, Why Not Help

Especially When IL Costs Nothing to Try.
