A VANISHING PARTY

In North Dakota the Progressive
party failed to nominate a state
ticket because it had fallen short of
the number of votes necessary to Sc
cure a place on the official ballot. To
nomiate q candidate, it is necessary,
under the law, that a party must have
ut least % per cent of the vote east
for its candidate at the last previous
election and the North Dakota Pro-
gressives could get only 2,430 votes.
So they were ruled out.
In Minnesota, which e for
Roosevelt in 1912, the Progresives
face a similar danger. Minnesota has
. law like that of North Dakota, only
that the requirement is 10 per cent
instead Of Is . They cast only 1874
votes in the primary, which is less
than 10 per cent of the 33,455 votes
they cast for the g~ubernatorial candi-
date in 1912. In that year they cast
1856 votes for Roosevelt. The
state canvassing board in ignorance
of the law, placed the Progressive
nominees upon the ballot.
The Progressives have just awak-
ened to the situation and to the fact
that even if their nominees stay on
the ballot they must cast 5 per cent
OF the total vote of the state in order
to retain the right to nominate candi-
dates. This means that they must get
from $4,000 to $4,000 votes, and they
are doing some lively scrambling to
get them, with every prospect that
they will fail. There is an understand
ing between the Progressives and the
Republicans that they will not fight
each other very hard, the Republic
can candidate being entirely salts
factory to the Progressives, and for
that reason they nominated their
ticket only to preserve their party
standing. It now seems that they are
in danger of losing it altogether. They
arc trying to get the necessary number
of votes for Halbert, their candidate,
but as he has already indicated his
satisfaction with Lee, the Republican
nominee, it is going to be hard to
make his followers see the necessity
Of throwing away their votes. Mime
sofa is the state in which the desired
Impeachment between Republicans
and Progressives has been carried fur
thest but it now seems tao have work
ed out in a situation perilously close
to the extinction Of the Bull Moose
member of the combination. And this
is one Of the greatest of the Roose-
welt states.-New York Shines.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the disased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
|inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result, and unless the inflam-
|mation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
