PERSECUTION
CHARGED BY
CONG. NELSON

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Feb. 8.
Sensational charges that he and
his son were victims of political
persecution which resulted last
October in the grand jury indict-
ments against them for anti-draft
conspiracy were made on the floor
of the house today by Rep. John
NJ. Nelson, Wisconsin.
The jury returning the indict-
ments, Nelson charged, included
leading politicians not friendly
to me-"
Nelson holly denied either he OF
his son is conscientious OBJ.
jector," or tried to evade the
draft of the son.
1.-THE U. s. district attorney was
urged on by men DESTROYS of fur
thering their own ends; newspa-
pers devoted their columns freely
to my enemies; and the chairman
of the state and Dane county
councils of defense-member of
factions that have opposed me-
urged the indictments" Nelson
alleged.
The Wisconsin congressman was
indicted for conspiracy to defeat
the draft law, on the specific
charge that he urged his son to
go to Canada and get married to
evade the draft.
At the trial Jan. 3, the indict-
ments were quashed and no appeal
has been made by the government.
The cases were dismissed because
Nelson left the country before the
draft act was passed and none of
the regulations provided that citi-
zens living outside the United
States must register.

We Still Want Your
Letters From Front

Have you all forgotten about
bringing in the letters of your
soldier boys? We are feeling
very sighted and neglected here
in this department cause for two
whole days we have had hardly a
letter brought in, while before
they were simply pouring in.
Don't 60 back on me like this,
folks, and better still, don't go
back on your boys, but give them
chance to keep informed about
their chums in the service, and
also to win the subscription
prizes.

of this place, writes: 81 am q user
of Thedford's Black-DraLght; in fact,
1t was one of our family medicines.
Also in my mothers home, when I
was child. When ang Of us child
rem complained Of headache, usually
caused by constipation, she gave us
q dose Of Black-Draught, which would
rectify the trouble. Often in the
Spring, we would have malaria and
chills, or troubles Of this kind, we
would take Black-Draught pretty reg
ular until the liver acted we'll, and
we would soon be up and around
again. We would not be without it.
for 1t certainly has saved us lots Of
doctor bills. Just dose Of Black
Draught when not SO we'll saves q

Thedford's Black-Draught has been
In use for many years In the treat
ment of stomach, liver and bowel
troubles, and the popularity which it
now enjoys Is proof of it's merit.

trouble may result.
Thedford's Black-Draught has been
found a valuable remedy for these

The stories bothering Canada are

tor recently denounced in this coun-
try, such as the ridiculous salt and
blueing famine fakes and the report
