History Repeats Itself.

At Tuesdays election in Milwaukee,
Mayor Emil seidel (socialist) was de-
feated By DR.. G. A. Bading, nominee
OF the Democratic-R epublican-C orpor-
alton political ring. Also, of thirty
three aldermen elected, only seven
are Socialists.
Exactly the same tactics which
were pursued in San Francisco to de-
feat Mayor P. II. Mccarthy and his
Union Labor confreres were. carried
out in the city which a certain brew
cry claims to have made famous.
Men who for years had loudly pro
claimed that they were stand-pat Re
publicans or Insurgent Republicans,
that they were Bryan Democrats or
some other kind of Democrats, and
those who claimed to be non-parti-
sans, all crawled under the same po-
Iitical sheet, thus once more demon
strating the absolute truthfulness OF
the old adage that politics makes
strange bedfellowsr They also proved
that, no matter where they may be.
the one purpose of politicians is to
get their, heads and hands into the
public trough.
The professional oflce-seekers in
Milwaukee charged Mayor sSeidel and
his administration with every imagin.
able shortcoming, in which misrepre-
|sentation they were Vociferously
backed up by the putrid daily press.
This hue and cry had its effect on
the theughtless, who, apparently,
never grow weary of being buneoed.
The working men and women Of
san Francisco, having fresh In their
minds the changed conditions since
the defeat Of Mayor MCCARTHY and
the Union Labor Administration, are
in position to know that the day IS
not far distant when the people Of
Milwaukee will blame themselves
most bitterly for trusting others in
preference to trusting themselves.

banqueted their Davenport brethren

Charles S. Huber, of Davenport,
Illustrious Potentate, is one of the
shining lights of the Davenport ag-

that any one of them found working

REGULATE ING
The STOMACH.
That Important Organ Work.
According to the Quality Of
the Blood That Is Fur
n;shed 70 Il
nished to It.

There is the most intimate relation
between the condition of the blood and
the activity of the stomach. The blood
depends upon the stomach for q large
part of Its nourishment; while every
act OF digestion, from the time the food
enters the stomach until it is digested
and assimilated by the blood, needs
plenty of pure, well-oxidized blood.
The stomach works only according to
the quality of the blood.
The most common cause of indiges-
ton is anania, or lack of blood. In
deed there is not single disturbance of
the health of the body nor any form of
exhaustion or lowered vitality, that
may not lead to stomach trouble Dis
ordered blood is the one common cause
of indigestion. Thin, impure blood
weakens the muscles of the stomach
and lessons the product of the glands
which furnish the digestive fluids.
Nothing will more promptly cure in
digestion than plenty OF pure, well-ox-
ldized blood. DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People increase the red corpus
cles, the oxygen of the blood,
until the blood is rich and red. A
thorough trial of these pills gives a
hearty appetite, perfect digestion,
strength and health.
