be bndns not only upon the county delegates but
also upon all other Delegates TO the convention
The work that to be done in Dover ON next Tuesday
Is 50 important that all petty differences should be laid
aside for the sake Of the party and the public welrare
The assumption that the Kent county caucus win not
be able TO upon Kent ounty man is based upon
the hope entertained in certain Democratic and near
Democratic that will not be able so to aaree!
One result of the circulation Of rumors of a forth
coming deadlock in that caucus has been that former
Mayor Harrison W. Howell and former City Treasurer
William Highneld. both Of this city, have announced
themselves candidates for the aubernatoria nomination

There is no good reason why the Kent county dele

GRANDMOTHER KNEW
There Was Nothing So Good
for Congestion and Colds
as Mustard

But the old-fashioned mustard
plaster burned and blistered while it
acted. Get the relief and help that
mustard plasters gave, without the
plaster and without the blister.
Musterole does it. It is a clean,
white ointment made with oil of mus
tard. 1t is scientifically prepared, SO
that it works wonders, and yet does
not blister the tenderest skin.
Gently massage Musterole in with the
fnger-tips. See how quickly it brings re-
lief-how speedily the pain disappears.
Use Musterole for sore throat, bron
chitis, tonsilitis. Group, stiff neck,
asthma, neuralgia, headache, conges.
ton, pleurisy, rheumatism, lurnbago,
pains and aches of the back or joints,
sprains, sore muscles, bruises, chill
blains, frosted feet, colds of the chest
