Madden Active Candidate for Speaker

Omy in the government is to keep the
government hard up.
Mr. Madden said he had not dis
cussed his candidacy with any one
but he expected to receive the aid OF
the same groups who offered him
their support at the beginning of the
present congress. At that time he re
fused to conduct an active campaign
against Speaker Gillett.
Although several other names have
been mentioned for the speakership
Madden is the first member of the
house to say definitely that he would
run. Most prominently mentioned
among those who are expected 10

Longworth and Madden have each
served ten terms or twenty years in
the house. Longworth >came to Cap

years has been there ever since. Mad

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best
Or. KiImer's SWamp-ROOi

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that SO many products that are ex-
tensively advertised all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says, Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has SO large a
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root is due to the fact,
70 many people claim, that it fulfills almost
every wish in overcoming kidney, liver
and bladder ailments, corrects urinary
troubles and neutralizes the uric acid
which causes rheumatism.
You may receive sample bottle of
Swamp-Root by parcel post. Address DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, and
enclose ten cents; also mention this paper.

after being unsettled in today's early

attacking pivotal issues, reversed their
tactics and bought back stock under the

The ease with which professionals
made headway against Dawson, Ma

which bullfsh pool operations pre-
sumably have been under way, en-
couraged renewed selling of other
standard industrials. Pressure was
applied to United States Cast Iron

turing, all of which were depressed
] to points. Sugar stocks also sold
down as result of recent price con-
Gesstons in the industry. United States
steel and Bethlehem yielded fraction
ally. Moderate advances were reg
1stered by few railroad shares, in
.iuding Chesapeake and Ohio, New
Haven, Rock Island and Canadian Pa
cific. Nash Motors was an outstand-
ing exception to the trend of the in
dustrial list, jumping 4 points. For
elgn exchanges opened steady.
The Senate adoption of the 40 per
for much of the early selling. but un-
certainty over the ultimate rate of

bearish market factor. Drives against in

important Liquidation and indicated
