bull MoOSers at Huron

A small bunch of bull mooser rs met
at Huron recently and tried to re-
arrange their ticket selected some
time ago. 1T is a bit interesting to
the average spectator to note who
was at this meeting. and took part
IN its deliberations. First comes the
Hon. R. F. Pettigrew, democratic
leader and recently his party's choice
for u. S. senator; R. f. Dowdell.
several times democratic candidate
for Congress. and Fl. l., Loucks, the
ancient populist. 1t must be pre-
sumed that these men are the real
leaders of the bull moose party in
South Dakota. which naturally sug-
gests this question: How many
republicans will follow their leader

these leaders decided not to put up
a candidate for governor-perhaps
with a view of enlisting the help of
Dick Richards. independent candi.

not find a prominent man willing to
stand.
1t is also stated that they tried to
get either Dowdell or Loucks to
withdraw from the senatorial race,
but so far without success.

SUFFRAGE COLUMN
BY SUFFRAGE COMMITTEE
Downfall of the Chicago Bosses

Sioux CITY Tribune. Mayor Har-
rison has repudiated "Hinky Dink"
McKenna and "Bathhouse" John
Coughlin, his trusted and valuable
political allies for years, the two men
who ran the notorious First ward of
Chicago and were bosses of the UNI
derworld. For this reputation
Mayor Harrison gets no credit. Ii
anything it exposes HIM to scorn for
having deserted his two friends i'm
their hour of deepest trouble.
These two most notorious char.
acters in Chicago are no worse today
than they were yesterday or last
week or last year or for many years
previous. Neither are their reputa-
tions worse. 1t has been known TO
all Chicago, to all Illinois. and to the
whole nation for years that these
two were the men who stood between
the white ~slavers, the low dives, the
degrading dance halls that were re.
cruiting stations for vice. the crook
ed lodging houses and hotels. the
gambling dens, and even the hang
outs of murderers and gummen, and
the laws of Chicago and Illinois.
They stood between these places
and the laws because on election day
they delivered the vote. SO long as
they were able to deliver the vote
they were not repudiated by Mayor
Harrison of any other political power
with which they were affiliated.
His reputation comes too late to
do them any harm or him any good.
The downfall Of Chicago's two most
sodden bosses came with the giving
to Illinois women the BALLOT and the
candidacy of Miss Marion Drake for
councilman from the First ward.
In California, where ONE vote.
the wages of the women civil service
clerks has been raised to equal those
of men. In England the postal SER
vice has just spent SIS, 000, 900 raising
the pay of its male clerks and at the
same time has reduced the pay of
its female clerks so that they now
get half what the men do.

KIDNEYS AND
BLADDER BOTHER
Take q glass Of Salts to flush out your
Kidneys and neutralize Hri-
tating acids.

Kidney and Bladder weakness result
from uric acid, says q noted authority.
The kidneys filter this acid from the
blood and pass it on to the bladder, where
it often remains to irritate and inflame,
causing burning, scalding sensation, or
setting up an irritation at the neck of
the bladder, obliging you to seek relief
two or three times during the night.
The sufferer is in constant dread, the
water passes sometimes with scalding
sensation and is very profuse; again,
there is difficulty in avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call it.
because they can't control urination.
While it issextremely annoying and some
times very painful, this is really one Of
the most simple ailments to overcome.
Get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from your pharmacist and take a table,
spoonful in glass Of water before
breakfast, continue this for two or three
days. This will ,neutralize the acids in
the urine so it no longer is a source of
irritation to the bladder and urinary or
gans which, then act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless,
and is made from the acid Of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia, and
liz used by thousands Of folks who are
subject to urinary disorders caused by
uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is splen-
did for kidneys and causes no bad
effects whatever.
Here you have pleasant, effervescent
1ithia. water drink, which quickly relieves
bladder trouble.
