msioTity was 1894. In Shepherdstown
both sides were bringing in the voters in

was a surprise to both sides. The vote
in all the counties is about as follows:
carried by Mr.. Bowers, Berkeley 1927,
Morgan 4S3. Mineral $40. Monongalia

be ably represented in Congress, and we
congratulate him upon his success.

WHAT THE DOCTOR KNOWS.
Kidneys Must be Rightto Insure Health

Few people realize to what extent their
health depends upon the condition OF the
kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases OF
serious illness makes chemical analy-
sis OF the patients urine. He knows that
unless the kidneys are doing their work
properly, the other organs cannot reaoily
be brought back to health and strength
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way, serious results are
sure 10 follow. According ~ heailh STA
tistics. Brights Disease, which is really
an advanced form OF kidney trouble,
caused nearly len thousand deaths IN one
wear. in The State of New YORK alone.
Therefore. il is particularly necessary 10
Day more attention to The health Of theSe
important organs. :,
An ideal herbal compound that has had
remarkable success as a kidney remeoy
is DIR. Kimer's Swamp Root, the great
kidney. liver and bladder remedy.
The mild and healing influence OF this
preparation, IN most cases, IS soon real
lied, according TO sworn statements and
verified testimony OF tIose who have
used the remedy.
When your kidneys require attention,
get Swamp Root al once from any phar-
macy. II is sold by every druggist in
bottles OF two sizes-50c and 81 90
However, il you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents 10 DR..

AT the State convention in Wheeling
last week 10 select delegates TO the Ma
tional Republican convention Governor
Hatfield's faction was in a triumphant
majority and ran affairs to suit themselves.
They were generous, however, in the
interest OF the party harmony, and only
took three OF the delegates at large from
their own ranks, namely, Governor Hat
field, Davis Elkins, and H. c. Ogden,
allowing the other side one delegate in
the person OF Isaac T. Mann. The con-
vention showed that Judge Robinson has
more strength in his gubernatorial aspir-
atoms than General Libby has, and there
was no real fight such as had been antici-
pated. The Lilly people say that the
State House machine has gotten an ap-
parent advantage for Judge Robinson. but
a different story will be told when the
people have chance TO express them
selves.

WE predict that the lovely primary
election law provided for the voters oil
West Virginia by the present Republican
administration will not cause any increase
IN the popularity OF said administration.
II is costly and cumbersome thing that
can never prove satisfactory. Ii was
not devised for the convenience OF the
people or for the betterment OF political
conditions, but was planned for partisan
benefit OF the party in power. 1t robs
the smaller parties OF their rights, shut
ting out the Progressives and Socialists
and Prohibitionists, and it gouges every
man who aspires TO office OF high or low
degree, no matter what ticket he may be
on. Poor men have small chance at
party ho7ors under The provisions OF this
Ubiquitous measure, for they will not be
able 10 pay the assessments levied upon
the candidates.
II ever change in political manage
ment was needed in State. il is needed
IN West Virginia just now.

THE State committee ofthe Progressive
party in West Virginia met in Parkers-
burg last week and decided 10 put State
ticket in The field. The primary election
law passed by the Republicans at the
session OF The Legislature last year pre-
vents the ProgressiveS from having
share in the primary election on June 9th,
so they will have TO make their nominal
lions and get their candidates on the bal
lot by petition. The committee passed
resolutions urging all Progressives not to
participate in the primary and condemn
ing the measure that seeks TO diSfranchise
them. Theodore Roosevelt was endorsed
for President, and delegates were ap-
pointed 10 the National Progressive Con-
vention in Chicago.
If The ProgreSsiveS mean what they say
their action will not be conducive TO the
welfare Of the standpat Republicans.

A BALTIMORE paper, in referring 10 the
retirement from active business OF a GER
tain prominent wholesale whiskey dealer
and dishller, says OF him:
While engaged in distiling and in the
sale Of liquor, il is said OF Colonel Boykin
that he has always been relentless foe
10 the violators OF the liquor laws OF the
State. He was among those who sought
10 place the business on the highest plane
and has always stood for law aud order.
How could such a demoralizi1g bust
ness be put on high plane? Whether
wholesale or retail, the whiskey business
is absolutely wrong and inevitably breeds
lawlessness and misery. The more it
flourishes, the greater the degradation it
causes and the suffering ii brings, and il
is automatically foe OF law and order.
