JAMES WILSON BACKS
ROOT FOR G. 0. P. RACE
Former Secretary of Agriculture
Says Former Senator IS Ablest Man
in Republican Party.

Former Secretary Of Agriculture James
Wilson. who served for sixteen years in
that capacity and who has known for
mer Senator Elihu Root for a quarter Of
d century, came out yesterday with A
statement in behalf Of Mr.. Root for the
Republican nomination for Presid, ut.
"Mr Root stands today the able man
in the Republican party and. indeed, in
this country" declared Mr.. Wilson. IF
dominated at Chicago, he will he elected
President.
At all times. especially in these days
of foreign muddles and crises. as well
as in times of peace, this country needs
a strong. tried man Of experience to
guide it through the dangerous channels
that are looming up ahead.
The people wanted a change four years
ago. They selected untried, inexperi-
enced theorists Now they want to go
back to the sound and safe principles
that have not only made them a people
with honor and respect the world over
but the most prosperous on the earth.
7 served for years in the Cabinet with
Mr. Root. I know his ability and worth
to the nation. Therefore. I think that If
he is nominated and elected President,
he will prove the best man to handle the
affairs Of this nation at this time"

TAFT BELIEVES
Former President Sees JUS

STILL CLINGS TO ROOT

nor if Nominated for President.

That former President William Howard
Taft deems the seIection Of Justice
Hughes to head the Republican party
as almost a certainty is the statement
wired to the New York Evening Post yes
terday by its Washington correspondent.
The story says that MIR. Taft is cling
ing to the hope that Root will be nOmi-
mated, though he feels that the justice
will be named. Along this line, 1t states:
Realizing the extraordinary sentiment
for man who has made no campaign,
who has not sought the nomination, but
whose high character and record a s Gov
ernor Of New York bear him steadily on
ward as the logical choice of the party,
Mr.. Taft thinks that the selection of
Hughes is almost a certainty. OF course,
the ex-President is in no sense just now
boomer of Hughes, clinging still to the
hope that Root may be the man chosen.
Nevertheless, he would enthusiastically
support Hughes, if nominated.
That Justice Hughes would accept, II
nominated. is something which most Re
publicans take for granted. He has been

HOT WATEk AND "ANURIc"
BEFORE EMEALS---AND HEALTH

All people in America, and especially
those who are past middle age. are
prone to eat too much meat, and in
consequence deposit lime-salts in their
arteries. veins and joints. They often
suffer from twinges of rheumatism or
lumbago, sometimes from gout, swol-
len hands or feet. Such people are not
always able to exercise sufficiently
in the outdoor air or drink enough pure
water in order to sweat freely and ex-
crete impurities through the skin. DR.
Pierce has conducted experiments and
thoroughly tested a uric solvent at his
lnvalids Hotel and Surgical Institute
which he is convinced is many times
more potent than lithia-this he named
"Anuric." 1t can be had at almost all
drug stores by simply asking for DR..
Pierce's Anuric for Kidneys or back
ache. 1t will overcome such conditions
as rheumatism, -dropsical swellings,
cold eXtremties, scalding and burning
urine and sleeplessness due to constant
need Of getting out of bed at night.

Just now he has opened up suite of

He is sending broadcast news to inves-
