coon CROWD
HEARS SPEAKER
Col. n. n. Denhardt, Of Bowling
Green, Opened Campaign In this
City, Saturday.


dav afternoon to hear Col. H. II. Den
hardt, Of Bowling Green, open his
campaign for the Democratic nomin-
alton for Governor. He was intro
duced by Rev. Clyde Darsie, of this
city, who paid his war record and
private character high compliment.
Col. Denhardt stated his position on
many important matters, but possi-
bly, the one Of most vital interest to
our people was his denunciation of
the present tax laws. He paid high
compliments to the men who are OPP
posing him for the nomination and
said if the people selected someone
else to lead the party in November he
would be found helping that candidate
to beat Edwin p. Morrow, the Re-
publican nominee.
!, His friends claim that the most
significant thing about Denhardt is
that the Republican newspapers are
humping on him with much more
vigor than they are any other can
didate which sows that they fear
him more than any other Democrat
and are doing all they possible can
to have the Democrats select weak
Z er candidate.
Other candidates present and
mingling with the crowd were Hon.
Matt Cohen, for Secretary of State;
Hon. Frank E. Daugherty, for At
torney General; Hon. R. s. Eubank,
and Hon. w. P. King, for Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction, and
Hon. r. c. Oldham, for Lieutenant
Governor.
DIR. A. ]. A. Alexander, of Wood
ford county, President Of the Dem
ocratic Forward League, was also
present.
After hearing Col. Denhardts
speech. many Democrats were heard
to say they did not wonder that ne
was three times cited for sigma
bravery in action, as his opening
address was clear, courageous
and defiant challenge to invisible
government, "the interlocking sys-
tenn of bosses" and crooked polite
: ians of both parties.
Among other subjects he touched
upon the recent school book scandal
the abuse of the pardoning power
the Hardness and Bingham tai
cases, labor, woman suffrage, pro
hibition and the proper management
of our penal and charitable institu
tons.
Upon the tax question, he said II
part as follows:
Tax Law a Failure.

of this tax law is, bad now, it was
bad when Mr.. Oliver and the other
Republicans in the Legislature voted
for IT. Mr.. MorroWi~as present in
Frankfort, at Republican caucuses
when this bill was under considera-
ton. He was the acknowledged
leader of the Republican party then,
as now; his word was law with that
element of that party which is at
: present dominating its policies. A
word from him would have prevent
ed the passage of this act because
without the aid Of Jack Oliver and
his Republican colleagues the law
could not have been adopted. II
was passed by and with the consent
and with the votes of the Republl-
cans in the House and Senate OF
Kentucky, and / charge the Nor
row Republicans of Kentucky with
responsibility for its passage. The
method of securing the cooperation
of these Republicans is well known
fact. 1t was put over by trade be-
tween the Morrow Republicans anc
certain democrats of the present ad
ministration. A number of offices
were created and these divided be-
tween the partisans of Morrow an'
of the present administration. TIT
Morrow crowd were cheek by Jow
with the administration crowd, ant
together the office hunters wer

of office hunters make mockery o

odious the good features OF a Law
which they had hoped to be Of bene

DR.. Ferdinand King, a New York
Physician and Medical Author saws:
In my opinion there can be no
healthy, rosy-cheeked women without
iron. | have strongly emphasized the
fact that doctors should prescribe
more organic iron-NuXated Iron =
Tor their nervous, rundown, weak
haggard looking women patients
Anaemia - iron deficiency is the
greatest curse to the health, strength,
vitality and beauty of the modern
American woman. Lack of iron in the
blood may often transform a beauti-
full, sweet-tempered woman into one
who is cross, nervous and irritable
one who makes life burden to her
self, unbearable for her husband, and
disagreeable for her children. When
the iron goes from the blood OF wo-
men, the roses go from their cheeks"
MANUFACTURERS NOTE: NuXated
Iron which is prescribed and recon-
mended above by physicians is not a
secret remedy, but one which is we'll
know to druggists. Unlike the older
inorganic iron products it is easily
assimilated, does not injure the teeth,
make them black nor upset the stom-
ach. The manufacturers guarantee
successful and entirely satisfactory
results to every purchaser or they
will refund your money. 1t is dispens-
ed in this city by Croll Keller, G. a.

Upper End Of County
Aids Salvation Army

Cooperating with the Harrisburg
executive committee of the Saliva
ton Army Home Service campaign,
the various towns of Dauphin coun-
ty are getting in line in rapid man
ner. The towns of Wiconisco and
Lykens, from their combined war
chest" contributed $500, from re-
ports to-day, Loyalton will be along
with 500 and Williamstown expects
to equal the contribution of the Ly-
kens- Wiconisco combination. Steel
ton sounded a most cheerful pros
pect, under the Craftsmanship of
Frank A. Robbins, the hope down
there being for $1,000. Most of the
county towns count on a big haul
for Decoration Day, as they propose
to make their supreme effort then.
Elizabethville set the pace on last
Sunday in the United Brethren
church, of which the Rev. Mr..
Schroyer is pastor, and the chairman
is John Sminkey. In charge of the
program was James e. LentZ, re-
corder of deeds, who had arranged
for the full attendance of the G..
A. r. veterans from the Posts of
Gratz and Elizabethville, as we'll as
all returned soldiers. The conse-
quence was the most historic meet
ing ever held in the church, all col
lection being turned over to the Sal
vation Army fund. Stirring addresses
we're made by Captain Stackpole and
Miss Pearl Gaupp. the latter having
spent fifteen months in the Red Cross
service abroad. Galbraith brothers,
of Brocksville, rendered two fine
vocal selections. f. K. Romberg,
chairman of the local committee,
predicted after this meeting that the
whole district would easily go over
the top.
Posters have been put up to-day
in county towns and the very sue
cessful launching at Elizabethville is
expected to stir lively action in other
towns, so that the entire quota will
be much increased.
