bob" PRAISES HATT0N,
HATTON RETURNS HONOR
La Toilette Is Man Who Stands For
Ideas of Progressive Republicans.
Helped Country Greatly.
HATTON Is A BUSINESS MAN.

In recent speech Senator La Fol-
lette declared: ''It is my desire and
hoped that the electors of the state of
Wisconsin will support William H.
Hatton for the nomination for COVER
nor. He is a sound progressive and
also an able business man who has
made good in everything he has un-
dertaken. In his work in the senate
we could always rely upon Hatton to
exercise rare judgment and the ap-
plication of the widest information in
the settlement of great questions that
anne before the legislature during his
legislative career for settlement He
llways wanted to be progressive, but
he always wanted to be sure that in
taking a step forward no mistake
would be made. In other words, he
was careful to act upon information,
and in the construction of legislation
he made use of the experience and in
formation of men who were known to
be in sympathy with progressive prin-
cipIes, and in doing this he exercised
superior tact and diplomacy. His
work in the legislature is securing the
enactment of the railroad commission
law stands out most conspicuously.
Only by patience and by the use of in
formation that could not be disputed
was Hatton able to convince members
of the senate that the law was a merit
orious one and finally win for it the
support of these men which made it's
passage possible.
"Hatton will make a splendid gov
no waste in his administration Again
1 say 1 hope you will support him."
To an audience at Kenosha, Hatton
said:
Senator La Toilette, in as large a
degree as any man in public life, has
all the qualities that both the Repub-
lican and Democratic parties are at
tempting to capitalize in this cam
paign. In this campaign every ener-
gy of the Republican organization is
bent and every wire is being pulled to
convince 100000 voters who split off
from the Republican party four years
ago that the Republican party this year
is progressive progressive
progressive in principles it stands
for-progressive in the candidates it
has nominated. and progressive also
in the personel of the committee that
is to, handle the campaign. Then.
how inconsistent it is for the element
which is claiming for itself pure and
undefiled Republicanism to make war
upon La Follettee this year of all
years.
LA Toilette has been a great cor
rective force in his influence upon this
country His agitation has centered
the effort of large and earnest group
of patriots upon program for cor
recting these abuses. And what is
more, in great number of instances
the abuses which La Toilette has de-
fined have been corrected and the
, remedies which he has recommended
have been applied. La Follette's part
in this work has been a great public
service of which every citizen of Wis
consin can be proud"

Weak Kidneys Make Weak
 Bodies.
Kidney Diseases Cause Many Aches
 and Ills of Canaan People.

Kidney Diseases Cause Many Aches
 and Ills of Canaan People.
 As one weak link weakens chain, so may weak kidneys weaken the whole body and hasten the final breaking down.
 Overwork, strains, colds and other causes injure the kidneys. and generally when their activity is lessened the whole body suffers.
 Aches and pains and languor and urinary ills frequently come, and there is an ever-increasing tendency towards dropsy, gravel or fatal Bright's disease. When the kidneys fail there is no real help for the sufferer except kidney help.
 Doan's Kidney Pills act directly on the kidneys. Canaan testimony is proof of their effectiveness.
 W. Wyckoff, West Main St., Canaan, says: My kidneys were disordered and I suffered from pains in the small of my back. Seeing Doan's Kidney Pills advertised, got supply at Far mum & Co.'S Drug Store. It wasn't long after using them that was re- lieved."
 Price soc. at all dealers. Don't sim- ply ask for a kidney remedy-get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that MT. Wyckoff had. Foster Milburn Co.,. Props, Buffalo, N. Y.
