designs of interruptions power, and given a people hope and happiness and self-respect. It is what his de- feat will mean"
 Bending forward and looking me square in the face, he shot out short sentences like bullets.
 Defeat this man, and every future President will know that he cannot hope for er-election unless he takes his domestic policies from Wall Street and his foreign policies from alien conspirators.
 Defeat this man, and 1t will serve notice upon the Central and South American Republics, as well as Mex ico, that the United States has greed behind it's professions of friendschip.
 Defeat this man, and it will serve notice upon every future Congress that it must take it's laws from a few powerful groups without regard for the welfare of the people.
 Defeat this man. and it means an end to neutrality, an end to peae, and an end to Amerian progress for many dreary years"
 "Can they defeat hiIn?" I asked.
 "Only by money" he replied. "Woodrow Wilson's record ought to speak for itself, but you can organize falsehood until it gets to be as pow erful as truth. That is what they are trying to do. We must meet lies with facts, and an educational campaign costs more than any other kind. So our only weakness lies in getting a sufficient campaign fund, and, as I said, we have no great corporations to assess, no millionaires to levy on.
 "We are confident" he exclaimed, with satisfaction. "We are going to the people with the straight proposi- tion that Woodrow Wilson's fight is their fight, and that it is up to them to contribute to the expenses of that fight, even to the point of sacrifice. And they are doing it. The fight has just begun, and of course, it will re- quire much more but I have entire faith in the enthusiastic support of the American people in our effort.
 And what is best, the plan estab- fishes a new principle in the political life of America. It takes elections off the auction block-it takes candidates away from the back doors and back rooms. Campaign funds control can- didates, and you know, and I know, and everybody else knows that the majority of our evils have sprung from this prediction purchase of in fuence and favor.
 'Why should the people be less mindful of their interest than the ene- mics of the people? If special priv ilege finances its candidates why shouldn't the people finance their can didates? Through this system of pop ular subscription we will not only strike a blow at the secret control of eletions, but the electorate itself will get a better idea of duties, responsi- bilities and powers Citizenship will be quickened, vigilance stimulated and government brought closer to the indi- vidua1.
 "Just as the administration of Woodrow Wilson has immeasureably advanced the material and spiritual welfare of the United States" he said in conclusion, "so will this campaign immeasureably advance the standards of democracy. The people long ac- customed to stay on the sidelines while a chosen few played politics as a game, are now in the lineup"

PROTECT YOUR LUNGS

Coughing weakens, the lungs, tears the fine throat lining and produces a strain on the entire body. The more you cough the weaker you get, the lungs are robbed of their blood supply and fall a prey to germs. You can pro- tect your lungs by taking LeonardPs Cough Syrup (Creosoted). It cuts and raises the phlegm without straining the body, makes breathing easy, opens up c1ogged throats and nostrils and has healing and soothing action through it's antiseptic power. Fine for coughs, colds, grippe, bronchitis. whooping cough and croup-25c. Hindle's Drug Stores, 9S7 Main St. and i909 Main St.-Adv.
