POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENT
OF JOHN S. GOGlN

| hold that since our forefathers in
independence Hall on the battlefield,
and by our National Constitution pro-
vided for and meant to guarantee in
pcrpetuity to posterity or us; a Re
publican and representative form Of
government, it is our right, it is our.
duty, to maintain the treasure which
they thus gave to their posterity.
| hold that since the farmer-the
real farmers no longer represented
in any branch of our national govern
ment and since the farmer and his
industry is the most necessary and es-
sential part and portion of our nation
and its industries, we not only no
longer are in the enjoyment of repre-
sentative and democratic government,
but our most worthy men and indus
try have been degraded, debased and
destroyed to the great peril Of our
people and country's welfare.
In brief, hold that all those ills
which we as a people are now heir to
have arisen from the above fact and
the further fact, which the light of
analysis reveals, that this government
in which we no longer have any voice
or proper recognition has, for many
years, maintained more hostile and
destructive attitude toward the far
mer and his industry than toward the
convicted criminal
Therefore, If l, REAL farmer and
a candidate for delegate to the COM
ing national convention of the Demo-
cratic party am, in the March pri-
mary election, chosen by the people
to there represent them, I will, with
all the power and force of my mind
and body endeavor to, along those
lines and for the benefit of the far
mers and people of my country, leave
a decided impress upon the delibera-
tons of that convention and IN the
party platform which it adopts.

SUPREME COURT
FROM WARD COUNTY.

William Westlake, ct al, Plaintiffs and
Respondent; VS..
B. J. Anderson, ct al, Defendants and
Appellants.
Syllabus: Upon petition therefor
of more than Is per cent. of the tax,
payers of Ward county, filed in 1913,
a levy was made in 1913 and 1914, un-
der Sec. 1868, c. L. 1918, to promote
diversified farming. In 1915 the
board of county commissioners refus-
ed to levy a tax for such purposes
upon the 1918 petition as basis,
claiming a further levy to be within
the discretion of said board. Man
damus was brought and from a writ
directing levy, an appeal has been
taken by the board.
Held: No discretion was vested in
said board Upon valid petition filed
"the board of county commissioners
shall annually make an appropriation
and levy tax upon all taxable prop
erty of the county for the purpose Of
promoting diversified farming" quot
ing from the Act. Sec. 1868. Under
this explicit direction an annual levy
is required to be made, and the writ
was properly issued.
(2) The legislature alone has pow
er, by future legislation. to relieve
from such future annual levy directed.
Because no provision for its discon-
uance is made it can be presumed
that any discretion to discontinue the
levy was vested in the board, con-

W0MEN'S
STOMACH TROUBLES
The Great Woman's Medi-
cine Often Just What
Is Needed.

We are so used to thinking Of Lydia
e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound as
remedy exclusively for female ills that
we are apt to overlook the fact that it
is one of the best remedies for disorders
OF the stomach.
For stomach trouble Of women it is
especially adapted, as it works in COM
plete harmony with the female organ
ism, since it contains the extracts of the
best tonic roots and herbs. It tones up
the digestive system, and increases the
appetite and strength. Here is what
one woman writes showing what this
medicine does:-
Newfield, N. W am 80 pleased
to say can recommend Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound as an eco
nomical and beneficial remedy in most
ailments pertaining to women. At
least I found it SO by only taking two
bottles. had Indigestion in a bad
form and am now feeling in the best
Of health and owe it all to Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. -
Mrs. BURR WILLIAMS, R. D. No. q, New
field, NY. >as."w
Many women suffer from that call
gone feeling and "feel 20 faint"
while doing their work. Ten chances
to one their digestive system is all out
Of order. A tablespoonful Of Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound after
each meal should completelyremedy this
condition in few days.
