A Missouri lady Is trying an expert

A Hard Row to Hoe

What kind OF president Gov. Wilson
will make we shall probably find out
in due time, but as candidate, at
least, he is first-rate His mind is
clear, his talk is excellent, his record
Is clean and he defines the issues
admirably. We offer our sympathy
to those gentlemen whose concern IL
is at this time to disparage his can
didacy. They have a hard row to
hoe. and IL they hoe II pretty wobbly

some Of them have called DR.. Wilson
Professor" and others, including Mr..
Taft, have said that the times are
good and that any affront offered to
the sacred ark OF protection will mean
lean years, they are about through.
and must be conscious that they have
not made an impressive showing.
The pacifcation in the Democratic
ranks this year Is wonderful. There
Is room for speculation about Muir
phys processes Of thought-if he has
them--and doubt is possible that he
wants Wilson elected. but OF course.
Murphy IL not much OF Democrat
anyway. and the election OF anybody
must seem to him just detriment TO
business and a necessary evil. But
about Bryan there Is no longer any
complaint Nobody doubts his hearth
ness in the campaign. and nobody
seems very much afraid Of what he
may do after the campaign Is over.
He had his day at Baltimore and 1t
did him good, and his efforts and their
result gave him new interest In the
lcampaign.
Brother Bryan was never so popu-
liar. His experience Is an example
to all perpetual candidates to try to
get broken of their habit.-Life.

LET THE VOTERS
HAVE A CHANCE
To Speak Their Choice,
Says Ollie James.
AN INSTRUCTED DELEGATION
Is Urged-IS for Clark, But
Says Let the Voters
Be Heard.
HIS RINGING DECLARATION

Washington, April 27.-"Some
gentlemen in Kentucky may have
large vest pockets, but l do not
think their pockets are quite large
enough to hold 100000 Demo-
Gratis"
This is the keynote OF Represen-
tative Ollie James unremitting
fight against those who seek to take
an uninstructed delegation from
Kentucky to the Baltimore conven-
ton. He uttered 1t to-day in the
course of a vigorous denunciation
of the unrestricted delegation.
II am perfectly content" said
Mr.. James significantly, ito trust
the Democratic voters of Kentucky,
and l am utterly unwilling to trust
a small number of pie hunters who
will be almost as busy hunting jobs
for themselves as they will be in
selecting a Candidate who is the
choice of the Democratic party for
President.
Mr.. James returned to the Capt.
tai from Kentucky to-day and said
that he is positive the State will
send Champ Clark delegation to
Baltimore. He added that ten days
before the convention he will go to
Kentucky again to remain over the
convention date. The Senator-elect
has his lighting clothes on to the
last Joint and buckle.
His statement in full follows:
II fought last year for the right
of the Democracy of Kentucky to
instruct their representatives in. the

as then, for the right of the Demo-
Gratis Of Kentucky to instruct their

cratic Convention as to their choice

What's the use of holding a coun-

NERVE FIBRES REMOVED

Philadelphia, April 29.-Opening
the spinal. column of man afflicted
with a dangerous stomach ailment
and removing the nerve fibres that
had succumbed to the disease, an
operation which is believed to be
the most delicate ever attempted,

nerve had been removed from the
spine, the stomach trouble imme-
diately ceased, and the patient be-
gan to regain strength.
