little opportunity will be afforded for

that the session may drag out through

ADAM LEYDoRF

Adam Leydorf, who is being urged
for the Democratic nomination for
Treasurer of Wood county, is now and
always has been a resident of Perrys-
burg township. At the age of 16 Mr..
Leydorf learned the blacksmith trade,
which he followed for eight years. He
then took up farming, at which he is
still engaged. He owns and resides on
a well cultivated farm three miles
south of Perrysburg on the Findlay
road.
Besides looking after his farm, Mr..
Leydorf has led an active life along
other lines. He was connected with
the American Strawboard Company
from 1890 to 1895. For ten years he
represented the Mt. Clemens Sugar
Co., resigning the first of last January
to take position with F. w. Lipe, a
Toledo baled hay dealer.
AS Democrat Mr.. Leydorf has been
on the firing line ever since he became
a voter. For over a quarter of a CEN
tury he was central committeeman
from Perryshurg township, and has
also served as a member of the Demo-
cratic county executive committee.
He has served by election as road
supervisor, school director, cemetery
trustee, ditch commissioner under the
new law, assessor # personal property
for six terms, real estate appraiser of
Perrysburg township and Perrysburg
corporation, and as township trustee
for two terms. He also served as
member of the Wood county board of
deputy election supervisors by ap-
pointment of the secretary of state

FRED E. FARMER.

Who is seeking the Democratic nomi-
nation for Auditor of Wood County,
was born at st. Louis, Mich, in 1875,
and spent his early life in that city.
After leaving school Mr.. Farmer was
connected with some of the leading
business houses of st. Louis, Saginaw,
Grand Rapids and Detroit, Mich. He
came to Bowling Green number of
years ago, and shortly after entered
the employ Of the A. Froney & Co.
store. After being in their employ
three years Mr.. Farmer was given
charge of the clothing department of
this firm, which position he has held
for the past seven years, and the great
volume of business in this department
speaks we'll for his business ability.
Should Fred Farmer be the choice of
the Democratic voters for Auditor at
the primaries August 18th, he prom
ises to make an aggressive campaign
for the success of the entire Demo-
cratic Observation-Disclosures.

Summer Constipation Dangerous.

Constipation in summer time is
more dangerous than in the fall,
winter or spring. The food you eat is
often contaminated and is more likely
to ferment in your stomach. Then you
are apt to drink much cold water dur
ing the hot weather, thus injuring your
stomach. Collie, Fever, Ptomaine
Poisoning and other ills are natural
results. Po-do-Lax will keep you we'll,
as it increases the Bile, the natural
laxative, which rids the bowels of the
congested poisoned waste. Po.Do-Lax
will make you feel better. Pleasant
and effective. Take dose tonight.

tions. Here in Pueblo it has a
great hospital for the care of its
injured and sick employees and
their families where they are
treated and cared for practically
free. This company has offered
to make any kind of concessions in
wages or in providing better
working conditions, and in every
thing except recognition of the
union. Hardly one-tenth of the
employees belong to the union and
these nine-tenths who do not be-
long to the union would be thrown
out were the demands of the union
complied with. The men who are
responsible for all the violence and
who have fired on the officers of
the law and upon the state militia,
and even on the United States
troops, are not American citizens
but foreign anarchists, men who
came to these coal fields fresh
from the Balkan Wars in Europe,
those wars so noted for their
wanton violence and inhumanity,
and which have disgraced Chris
tian civilization. These men par
ticipants in that war came here to
this country expecting to carry on
here anew their war of pillage and
violence. And "Mother Jones" !"
that firebrand that has so stirred
up the miners to deeds of blood
violence and incendiarism and who
has been so extolled and glorified
by the yellow journals and muck
raking magazines, has quite an
unenviable record which one may
find in the Congressional Record.
| am glad to say the true men of
Colorado are rallying to the sup
port of law and order and are de-
termined that this state of affairs
that has so disgraced the state of
Colorado shall cease. Law and
order leagues are being formed in
every town, and each of the great
parties has plank in its platform
demanding the rigid enforcement
of law against all offenders what
soever and demanding that vio-
lence shall end. | have been sur
prised to learn that the two
strongest upholders of this reign
of violence and apologists for it,
and the ones largely responsible
for the misleading reports that
have gone out about it, are Judge
Ben Lindsey of Denver, and Mrs.
Helen Ring Robinson, the noted
suffragist, two people widely
known outside of Colorado but ex-
tremely unpopular in their own
state. This letter is already much
too long, and so | will end it
here. My very best regards to all
my friends in Perrysburg.
Very sincerely yours,
GEORGE I'll. LOWRY.

Gently attempted to give a descrip-

it puts one on his mettle all the

mountains being very bracing.
The nights are like dream, so
cool and pleasant and conducive
to sleep. The days are hot, so the
people here say, but / have never
yet witnessed such inconsistency
between the figures registered by
the thermometer and the feeling
of heat which one experiences
these summer days. All that hu-
midity and "mugginess" that is
so collar willing, nerve trying and

is entirely lacking in this rarified
atmosphere.

The Humble Librettist.

r. In the history of the opera there are many curious anomalies, but perhaps the strungeSt is the role played by the librcttiSt. For the most part obscure and unimportant, his ranks have never. thcless been recruited from the ablest and most brilliant men of letters. Among those who have undertaken the part are such unlikely names as Vol taire, Goethe. WieIuud, Addison and Fielding. while others of considerable poetic talent. as. for example, Metasta- sio. Calzabigi. Rinuccini, Boito and Coppee. have tried their hand at libret- to writing with assurance, giving to 1t their best efforts. And yet the sue cessful librpttists are few-the merest handful out of harvest of centuries.
