BAY STATE REUSED
GOOD REASONS TO EXPECT A
WILSON VICTORY THIS YEAR
IN MASSACHUSETTS.
REPUBLICANS IN THE DUMPS
Their Party Is Split Wide Open BY
Third Term Movement and Demo-
Gratis Are keenIy Alive to Their
Opportunity to Win.

In his trip through New England
Governor Wilson was everywhere re-
ceived with vast throngs and every
evidence Of good will. The impression
he made justiies the hope that No
vember will show that he has brok-
en- the Republican solidity of the
northeastern corner of the country.
There is, however, more substantial
reason than crowds and clamor for
expecting the addition of some of the
New England states to the Democratic
column. Governor Foss Of Massachu-
sets, has been elected twice in sue
cession and Is well enough satisfied
with the prospects to make the race
a third time. The primaries held in
that state showed keen interest
among Democrats and encouragement
and decline among the Republicans.
At the primaries for governor 99,422
Democrats and 1885 Republicans
voted. Here is a state has has been
supposed to be fock-ribbed In its Re-
publicanism where more Democrats
than Republicans took part in the
primaries.
The significance Of this fact is
greatly increased by comparisons with
last spring and last year. The presi-
dental preference vote in April was
taken before Governor Wilson had
been selected, and before the break
In the Republican ranks had occurred.
1t seemed to be hardly worth while
for Democrats to take the trouble to
express their preference. Only 8 5000
did so, while 171,0OO Republicans ex-
pressed their preferences for the pres.
ident or Roosevelt. But Wilson'S
nomination has aroused the hope OF
every Democrat in the country, while
the third party movement has para
iyzed the Republicans. At the state
primary the DEMOCRATS cast nearly
four times as many votes as at the
presidential preference primary, and
the Republicans cast less than three
fifths.
Not lees interesting is the compari
sol between last weeks state primary
and the primary Of last year. The to
tai vote this year is about $4,000
greater than the primary vote a veal
ago. This increase is made up Of
Republican loss of 1907 and a Dem
ocratic gain Of 31,378. Applying those
, percentages Of gain and loss to the
presidential vote Of 1908, the Demo
Gratis would nearly carry Massachu
sets over the united Republican party
and the party is split from top to bot
tom by the third term movement.

Tariff and RIoated Fortunes.

Enough instances have been given
by the Journal to show that the tariff
is the creator of bloated fortunes.
The way it works is SO simple that
1t can be put in the form Of a recipe:
Get a tariff, form a trust; then
pluck the public in the stock market
and rob the consumer with high
prices"
The tariff shuts out foreign com
petition, and thus offers In oppor-
tunity to rob the Americanconsumer.
The trusts are formed to take ad-
vantage of this opportunity.
They are capitalized at their So
called earning power" which means
their robbing power under the tariff,
This capitalization is from two to ten
times the actual investment.
The watered stock thus issued
costing nothing but the printing Of it
is sold to the public at high prices.
The promoters keep control Of the
trust in their own hands, that they
may vote themselves fat salaries and
rich perquisites.
The prices Of the trust-made articles
are kept up to the highest notch to
take advantage Of the tariff and pay
dividends on watered stock.
Then a portion of the profits thus
made is set aside for political cor
ruption to keep the tariff graft from
being disturbed.
1t is very simple-when the trich
is exposed. 1t is very profitable-tc
the promoters.
1t is incredibly w~asteful, cruel and
debauching for every one else.
The only way to stop the accumula
ton Of bloated fortunes is to cut of
the tariff graft that breeds bloatet
fortunes.
The way to cut off the tariff graf
is to elect Governor Wilson and
Democratic congress.-Chicago Jour
nal.

by
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound

The schange of life" is a most
critical period in a woman's ex-
istence, and the anxiety felt by
women as it draws near is not
without reason.
When her system is in a de-
ranged condition, she may be
predisposed to apoplexy, or con-
gestion of some organ. At this
time, also, cancers and tumors
are more liable to form and begin
their destructive work.
Such warning symptoms as
sense of suffocation, hot flashes,
headaches, backaches, dread of
impending evil, timidity, sounds
in the ears, palpitation of the
heart, sparks before the eyes,
Irregularities, constipation, vari-
able appetite, weakness and
%inquietude, and dizziness, are
promptly needed by intelligent
women who are approaching the
period in life when woman's
great change may be expected.
These symptoms are calls from
nature for help. The nerves are
crying out for assistance and the
cry should be needed in time.
Lydia E.. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is prepared to meet
the needs of women's system at
this trying period of her life. It
invigorates and strengthens the
female organism and builds up
the weakened nervous system.
1t has carried many women safely
through this crisis.

Gov. Wilson is making the sort Of

He is making the sort of campaign

has a good candidate, but that the
country will have a good president.
Gov. Wilson has shown a dignity,
a fairness, a sincerity which has gain
ed the confidence of the people wher-
aver his words have reached.
Gov. Wilson Is the e of a spec
taucular grand-stander. Yet on his
western trip he has had by odds the
largest audiences that have gathered
during this campaign.
They have come, not to lei a show,
but to judge a man; not to pay hom-
age to a self-made Caesar, but to hear
and pass upon a program of national
work.
They have heard, they have judged,
they have approved.
They have found Gov. Wilson a
man whose prime desire is not to exalt
himself, but to serve the people.
They have found Gov. Wilson a man
who refuses to be drawn from the is-
sues of the campaign into an exchange
of barren personalities.
They have found Gov. Wilson a mar
who never h~esitates to say anything
good of an opponent that may with
honesty be said.
They. have found Gov. Wilson a mar
who respects the Office of the presi
dency too much to seek 1t by a cam

In a word, the people have found
Gov. Wilson the sort of man they want
in the White House. They will put

police and confessed he had stolen
$4,000 from the Australian govern
ment while employed as a clerk with
the Royal Australian artillery at Sgd
ney, New South Wales.
Holt said he took $25, 900 from n
safe and later stole and cashed a

Holt said the thefts were commit

became attached to battery No. 1 of

The first theft, he said, was not
traced to him, and it was only a few
days later that he found an oppertu-

said, he forged the name of a quar-
