Mornings when | first got up, my
back was lame and stiff and pains ex-
tended from my kidneys into my loins
and hips. The kidney secretions
were unnatural and was really in
bad shape when began using Doan's
Kidney Pills. They helped me at
once and it was not long before they
had fixed me up in good shape. MY
back was strengthened. the pains
were removed and my health was re-
stored. Whenever | have felt in need

MEREDITH TO WIN !.
THINKS CONNOLLY
Former Congressman Calls on
All Democrats for Support
SAYS VICTORY IS IN SIGHT
Says He is "for Meredith Every Hour
Of the Day" and That Victory at the
Polls Is Near.

Hon. Maurice Connolly, Of Dubuque,
former congressman, the man who de-
feated Meredith for the senatorial
nomination two years ago, has writ
len letter to State Chairman ]. w.
Reynolds calling upon all Iowa Demo-
Gratis to give Meredith loyal and solid
support, which will insure his cleo
tion as governor
The letter, which was given out by
Chairman Reynolds, will have much
weight in the ranks Of Iowa Democ-
racy. 1t is as follows:
"My Dear Doctor Reynolds:
"With the newspapers filled with
claims that w. L. Harding expects to
be elected governor of Iowa by the
votes of Democrats, now that his own
Republican party is shattered by the
greatest detection in any party in
many years, it appears proper for me
to write to you and urge all Democrats
to stand by their nominee for COVER
nor, E. T. Meredith, and insure his
election, now within their grasp.
"Mr. Meredith, the unanimous nom-
inee of the party, is successful bust
ness man, man of character and
standing, who would fill the COVER
nor's chair with honor to the state.
1.-THE recent primary contest for the
senatorial nomination has left no sore
spots in the Democratic party. The
ranks are united today as never be-
fore. any a..ra. ...g asl --.s. sla
"The vital issues of the campaign
are being presented by Mr.. Meredith
with energy and vigor and | am anxi-
Gus to give all the time / possibly can
to supporting him and insuring his
election. The Democratic organize
ton is strong and energetic and, with
the detection reported among the Re
publicans, the prospect for success
this year is especially, roseate. BY
team work in our own party we should
be able to translate this prospect into
victorious realization. |a@@3 ''
E~'I am for Meredith every hour OF
the day, and sincerely trust that lie
will have the loyal and solid support
Of the Democracy of Iowa w z
