early morning to late at night there

SPeciaI to The TcIeg-aP

Terre Haute, Ind, Sept. s.-The an
nouncement by James E. Watson, for
mer Congressman and whip of the
Republicans under Uncle Joe Cannon
and a candidate for Governor at the
last election, that he would run for
the United States Senate, was ex-
pected by his party friends.
He is the idol of the element which
clings to the old or regular" organi-
cation and which has informally an
nounced that it is to present the name
of former Vice President Charles w.
Fairbanks for the Republican nomina-
tion for President. Some months ago
Watson's friends wanted him to be a
candidate for the Presidency and he
was willing. He made a trip through
the far Southwest and West before
Fairbanks went to California for the
opening of the Exposition. There were
many stories of his enthusiastic re-
ception and Watsons friends persisted
that their idol had even a warmer re-
ception than the former Vice-Presi-
dent.
When Fairbanks returned to In
diana he and Watson had a heart to
heart talk and Watson adherents quit
discussing the latter as a Presidential
candidate. The Senatorial candidacy
followed as matter of course.

Louisville. KY. Sept. s. - Henry

der the caption of Breakers Ahead,

1T is generally believed by intelli-
gent Democrats that Mr.. Bryan's ill
judged advocacy of government owned
railways defeated his election to the
presidency in 1908. Be this as it may,
the declaration proved a serious set
back. 1t disclosed the visionary char
acter of his mind and diverted the
popular confidence and favor which
were beginning to incline his way.
THE Courier-Journal has said that
no one can beat Woodrow Wilson in
1916 except Woodrow Wilson himself
Democratic party cannot get away
from it, Talk to any other effect is
either idle or inimical
1T is observed chiefly in Repub-
hcan quarters where the wish would
naturally be father to the thought that
the administration is preparing to re-
vive the shipping bill defeated by the
last Congress- Not failing to note the
activities of the Treasury Department
in this direction, the Courier Journal
VIII have to receive more reliable and
definite information as to the Presi-
dent before it believes anything of the
sort.
Such measure put forward by the
administration would be serious mis-
take. 1t would split the Democratic
party wide open and go far to make
the reelection even of Woodrow viii.

A NERVINE TONIC

In many severe nervous disorders
the best remedy is often a tonic. The
most active tonic treatment is recon-
mended by the highest medical au-
thority to arrest the progress of such
diseases
1t is impossible to reach the nerves
directly with medicine. DIR. Williams
PINK Pills are nervine tonic but they
act on the nerves through the blood
enabling the blood to carry to the
nerves the elements needed to build
them up.
Neuralgia, sciatica, sick headache
and a number of more severe nervous
troubles are properly treated by build
ing up the blood with DIR. Williams
PINK Pills and are often entirely cor
rected in this way.
II you are nervous you can help
yourself by refusing to worry, by TAX
ing proper rest, sleep and vacations,
by avoiding eXcesses and by taking
out-of-door exercise. For medicine
take DR.. Williams Pink Pills, the non
alcoholic tonic.
Sufferers from nervous disorders
who have been taking treatment with
out benefit should investigate the
tonic method Write to-day to the
DR.. Williams Medicine Co., Schenec-
tady, n. Y, for the booklet, Diseases
OF the Nervous System" 1t will be
sent free on request.
Your own druggist sells DR.. Will

by mail on receipt of price, fifty cents
per box, six boxes for S2.50-Adver-
tisement.
