SEN. JOHNSON
IS CONFIDENT
Attempt Is Made to Form Union
of Western States Under
Auspices Johnson Forces.

Chicago, June S.-Senator Johnson
reiterated his confidence today in win
ming the presidential nomination, and
again expressed complete opposition
to .the league of nations with or with
out reservations" Any other stand
he told newspapermen, than that spon-
sored by him would make the Repub-
1ican party the tail to Mr.. Wilson'S
kite" He declared he had abiding
confidence in the result and he would
go on the convention floor if necessary
to oppose the league. but did not think
it necessary.
The first step towards Johnson or
ganization was meeting called by
State Senator Flynt, heading the Cali
fornia delegation, and attended by the
Utah, Washington, Nevada, Arizona
and Oregon delegates. Afterwards
Flynt said nothing was discussed but
the platform and proposals affecting
lction of the credentials committee.
others who attended, however said the
gathering probably would be called
again and extended to other western
states.
Attempt was also made to form a
union of western state delegations un-
der the auspices of Johnson supporters.
They will probably meet again.

Incomplete returns from all parts OF
the state up TO 2 o'clock this morning

One of the greatest surprises of the

They put it in this way: raise it or
lower it, but it's sure raise. They
now get $500 per term, and if we gave
some of them their $500 and allowed
them to stay at home we would be far
better off. Our faithful friend, the

private opinion publicly expressed is
they are not entitled to any more than
$500 until they are able to enact better
laws for the farming community, in
stead of taxing their hired man that

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure catarrhal
deafness, and that is by II con stitution-
al remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is
caused by an iphamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is intlamed you have
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, Deafness
Is the result. Unless the Inflammation
can be reduced and this tube restored
to its normal condition hearing will be
destroyed forever. Many cases OF deaf
ness are caused by catsrrh, which is an
infiamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. Halls Catarrh Medicine acts
thru the blood on the mucous surfaces
Of the system.
