ROUT OF PRESIDENT
IN n. DAKOTA TEST
JOLT.TO AIDES HERE
Result Proves His Re-elec-
ton Impossible, Say
Politicians.

That the amazing failure of the North
Dakota Republicans to support Presl-
dent Taft in the Presidential primaries
yesterday points to the fact his re-elec-
ton In case of his denomination Is i'm
possible was the talk everywhere In
political circles today. J. ...,..s d.
Roosevelt managers emphasized this
idea and about the headquarters of the
Democratic Presidential candidates en-
phasis also was given Il. The fact that
on the basis of the first 900 votes in
North Dakota from which returns were
had, President Taft got about one in
forty was the subject OF much felicita-
ton among the Democratic leaders
about the headquarters and at the Cap
itol.
Naturally, Democratic assCverations
were fervent that Il would be good
fortune for the Democratic party II the
Presidents denomination were forced
on the public by Manager Mckinley and
his lieutenants.
Point to Lesson.
At the Roosevelt headquarters there
was frank admission that La Toilette
had carried North Dakota, but what
ever disappointment might be felt be-
cause of this was completely over
shadowed by the feeling that the lesson
of North Dakota as to the weakness OF
President Taft with the rank and file
Of his party would not be lost on the
voters from this time forth and that
II would not be lost on the Chicago
| convention.
"Is 1T possible" asked the Roosevelt
leaders, that the Republican party.

| The weakness of President Taft, II
by Ormsby McHarg today, as revealed

| States In Montana, II is said. Presi-
dent Taft has even less strength than

Likewise. in practically all the border
! States. Mr.. Taft has a tremendous tide

factions and varieties.
Republican State.
The reputation OF President Taft in
| North Dakota can best be interpreted
when 1t Is recalled that in 1896 that
State next to Pennsylvania gave the
highest pro rata part OF its vote to the
Republican party. In 1900. only 80 pei
cent Of the people voted the Democrat
! ic ticket. In 1904, only % per cent voted
the Democratic ticket. In 1908, Presi.
dent Taft carried the State by SUBJ
! stantial ma iority, In other words
President Taft, tituIar leader OF his
party. has been utterly repudiated in a
rock-ribbed Republican State. It Is not
| a Democratic State or a doubtful State
considered in the light of Presidential
! elections since 1896.
IT is pointed out that II States like
Oregon, Nebraska Wisconsin, and New
Jersey, which have Presidential Pi-
ares, by their returns later on en-
hasize the weakness OF PreEidcnt Taft

Dakota outcome has emphasized 1t. his

causing sour quotations, belching3,
heartburn, dizziness and other Distress

given up in despair until they have been
induced by some interested friend to

Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the
dyspeptic's hope. They are a natural
restorative of healthy action to the
stomach and small intestnes, because
they supply the elements that the weak
stomach lacks-pepsin, golden seal, and
other digestives.
If you are afflicted with any of the
symptoms above described be assured
that your digestive organs are losing
power-they need help, and there is no
more sensible help to be given them
than TO supply elements which will do
the work of digestion for them.
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets have been
found by test to have digestive powers,
these tablets being sufficient to digest
5000 grains of ordinary food. 1t is
plain that no matter what the condition
of your stomach, or how far your dis
ease has progressed. one of Stuart S
Dyspepsia Tablets taken at meal time
will do the work-give your stomach
an opportunity to regain its lOst pow

TEN, under the name of Sands & Co.,

deducted from the employees salary each
month before he, was paid. The i'm
mediate action taken by the Retail
Merchants Association last year was
successful, and 1t was thought that
