Capital News Special Service)


Pocatello, Oct Ex-Governor Alex
ahder last night addressed one of the
best and most enthusiastic audiences
that was ever assembled in Pocatello
to hear political speech. The X. of P.
hall, where the meeting was held, was
jammed full. The governor was at his
best and his audience was a most re-
sponsive one. 1t was by all odds the
most effective meeting ever held here
by any Democrat. For enthusiasm the
governors meeting was never surpass-
ed IN this city. AT one point In his
address the governor declared: They
say 1t is hard for q Democrat to get a
good audience in Pocatello. This splen-
did audience tonight refutes that state
ment and thank you for It,"
In another statement the governor
said with emphasis:
"If there is Republican editor pres
ent who thinks any statement / make
is not true let him stand up like a man
right now and say So" He then re-
iterated that the politicians tried to
prevent the Allen steal reaching be-
yond the $4,000 in Ramstedts report,
and that his own insstence was re-
warded with recovery of lS154,000
from Aliens bondsmen. The governor
then produced a autographed copy Of
the famous Coffin $3.50 check. His
statements about this check were eag-
erly listened to and his stand for not
signing the check was applauded The
governor assailed the Republican press
and called the Statesman Of Boise and
Pocatello Tribune the most unreliable
organs he ever knew anything about.
This statement brought forth a storm
of applause.
Another burst of applause came when
the governor attacked Secretary of
State Barker for his action in trying
to prevent the Humboldt Lumber COM
pany from being put on the state as
sessment roll. Each one in the big
audience was handed copy of Coffin's
check for $3.50.

leaders have lost no time in pointing
out that President Wilson has appointed
only Republicans to the commission to
investigate the operation Of the Adam
son bill. providing the eight-hour day
for railroad employees. This fact they
regard as in the nature OF an answer
to the charge that the president has
appointed too many southern Demo-
Gratis to office. His appointees are:
George w. Goethals, major general,
U. S. A, governor of the Panama canal
zone and builder Of the Panama canal,
chairman.
Edgar E. Clark, interstate commerce
commissioner, member of the commits
sion which settled the anthracite coal
strike and six times president of the

slderation to the selection of the men

settlement of difficulties between cap

compulsory arbitration. Mr.. Roosevelt
appointed him an interstate commerce
commissioner in 1906. He was reap
pointed by Taft and later by President
Wilson.
While the Adamson law does not be-
come effective until January /, the

commission to give close study to the
entire situation. The commission after
its labors will make report to con-
gress and the president. Members of

WIFE OF PARK POLICE
OFFICER IMPROVES
GREATLY WITH DRECO
Mrs. E. Carroll, of l407 Ames
Place, N. E., Washington,
D. C., Tells of Convinc-
ing History.

When seen at her home recently Mrs
Carroll gave the following signed en-
dOrsement for Dreco, the Master Rem
edy:
Il had gastritts for years-could never
enjoy a meal of anything liked, for
dread Of the after-results I knew would
surely follow, and they always did, The
sharpest sort of pains in the stomach
that doctors. told me was sastritis, but
they didn't seem able to relieve me even
a little.
Il also had pains in the back and
limbs, was constipated, didn't sleep prop
erly at night, and got up as tired as when
I retired. I was getting very nervous
too, and had a bad taste in my mouth all
the time, with coated tongue. etc. Right
about there started to take Dreco mere
ly as an experiment. 1t showed results
at once-and the more I took of 1t the
better I became, till now I'm almost
cured. and am on my sixth bottle, but
you can believe me, my case was mighty
stubborn and Of long standing.
My husband, exposed to all sorts of
weather as he is in work, suffered from
rheumatism and he has gotten complete
relief from Dreco and insists that I add
this to the statement of my case. I am
done for me, as feel II Is q duty I owe
to other sufferers from similar troubles
to help them get back to health asainl''
Dreco isn't a "cure-aI." but really ac-
complishes wonderful results for those
complaints for which It IL intended. II
you think 1t may help you-set a bottle

Store, or Bury's, IN Anacostia, or Allen q

American Fair Trade League of New
York. will be continued Indefinitely and
vigorously" according to Mr.. La Vigne.
Yesterday morning Mr.. La Vigne, ac-
companied by r. P. Andrews, president
Of the Retail Merchants Association;
Charles Columbus. secretary OF the same
organization; DR.. Lyman F. Kebler and
others, went to some stores to make pur-
chases of bargains"
Their experiences were, to quote Mr..
La Vigne, Illuminating to those who take
seriously the wonderful price reductions
advertised in many places in Washing
ton.
In one store on Fourteenth street, be-
tween G and New York avenue" said
Mr.. La Vigne, the following signs were
displayed in the window: $3.50 silk and
linen shirts, sl.19; IS and shirts, 1875
and $3.50, and - silk and linen shirts for
s3.45; 81 silk pongee paJamas. s1.2s, and s.
and IS all-silk shirts at s2.95.
Attempts were made to buy all OF
these articles, but were all unsuccessful.
until finally the salesman offered to sell
a silk shirt, but when pinned down spe-
cihcally to his own advertisement, was
forced to admit that the shirt was i'm
perfect merchandise.
Two weeks ago the same place was
visited and an attempt made to buy a
silk shirt When told that they had
none, the salesman was asked why the
sign was left IN the window. He replied
that they had no more cardboard. and
that the signs were the window trim
