INTEREST INCREASING.

Kansas democrats concede that the
nomination of Governor woodrow
Wilson for the presidency will be a
strong factor in the Kansas state
campaign this fall. The prediction,
Immediately after it was known that
Wilson had been the choice at the
Baltimore convention, was that the
result would materially aid Senator
George H. Hodges in his candidacy
both at the primaries in August and
at the election in November.
1t is being urged that the nOmina.
ton Of a thorough progressive by the
national convention win mean that
thousands Of Kansas votes, either in
dependent or progressive republican
will swing into the democratic col
umn, especially if Senator Hodges is
the democratic nominee for COVER
nor.
With the selection of a national
standard bearer, interest in the ma.
tional affair, that has been at fever
heat for the last ten days, is expect.
ed to subside and the interest in the
state and county candidates is expect
ed to increase in proportion. VIII
son democrats, elated at the nomina.
ton Of their favorits, now are turn.
ing their attention to the state cam.
paign and will wage with greater Wig
or the fight for the nomination oil
Senator Hodges as representing theil
ideals in a gubernatorial candidate.

Great Bend Testimony Remains w

Time is the best test of truth
Here is a Great Bend story that has
stood the test of time. 1t is a story
with a point which will come straigh
home to many of us.
Mrs. H. A. Fruit, 2717 Forest Ave-,
Great Bend, Kans., says: Il had
considerable trouble from disordered
kidneys several years ago and last
winter when l again began to suffer
from a dull ache in the small of my
back and other symptoms Of kidney
complaint, l made UP my mind to
take something that would relieve
me. AS one of my relatives had
been greatly benefited by DOan' Is
