Gen. Woods Candidacy

"
The element of strength in the
Wood candidacy at Chicago ism his
great strength as a man; in the alb
solute availability of the candidacy
and in the disposition of the second
choieers to turn in that direction.
|. We notice that some of the news
papers. while compelled TO give Gen.
Wood i45 votes in the convention,
disregard such delegations as that Of
Maine, where the distinct under
standing of the convention which
elected the delegates was that it
should stand for Gen. Wood. II is
true that no vote of instruction was
passed. None was asked for Maine
never instructs its delegates: il in
spires them and it is doubtful if ever
a convention took place in Maine,
which better understood its own
mind and more fully canvassed the
disposition of the delegates them
selves.
Names delegation will do its duty
in good faith. II will follow what
it knows was the temper and the
spirit OF that convention. 1t needs no
advice. II is useless TO attempt to
turn il from its duty 10 its constitu-
ency and its own good judgment.

A National Reproaeh

N. 7. Evening POST
The House judiciary Committee
has reported favorably a bill which
would make lynching a Federal crime
and imposes fines on lynching mobs
and on counties where lynchings &C.
cur. II is a bill which should have
been enacted into law long ago. The
individual States are unable or un-
willing to wipe out a stain on this
country's name which makes protests
against Irish misrule and expressions
of sympathy for starving Armenians
a shameful impertinence. The in
stances in which prosecutions have
ever followed lynchings are few and
far between and convictions are prac-
tically unheard OF.

MRS. WALKER
Is Well and Happy Wo-
man Now, She Says
Thinks II Is Wonderful the May
Tanlae Has Built Her Up

TT certainly is wonderful to enjey
such splendid health as I do since
taking Tanlac," was the statement
made recently by Mrs. Mary Walker
Of 81 Hanover street, Portland.
Maine.
For more than year I had been
in poor health which had been
brought on by a dreadful case of
stomach trouble. Nearly everything
I ate distressed me and at times
sat down TO the table and became so
nauseated couldn't eat a bite. I
had fearful pains in my stomach and
l have seen times when I was in such
agong thought I was going to die.
My nerves were in an awful condition
and little noises I had always been
used to would completely upset me.
II was the hardest thing in the world
for me to ever get to sleep. why, 1
would lie for hours after going to bed
unable to close my eyes. And very
often after l did get to sleep I would
wake up with a start and be so short
Of breath felt like l was suffocating.
My complexion was saliow. l fell off
great deal in weight and was so
weak that just 10 move around would
tire me out.
But everything about me has
frightened up since I began taking
Tanlac and / am feeling like differ
ent person entirely. My appetite has
returned and am enjoying my meals
because everything l eat agrees with
me perfectly. My nerves are as
steady as they ever were and go to
sleep as soon as go to bed and new
er wake up once until morning. I
now weigh more than I ever did in
my life, have good color and feel so
much better and stronger just can't
find enough work around the house
TO do. This is what Tanlac has done
for me and I just wish everybody
knew. like do, what a splendid med
icine it is"
