Mississippi Lady Says Black Draught Greatly Re- ieved'' These Symp-

Starkville, Miss.-"I have been a user of Black -Draught for about twenty years," recently said Mrs. c. E. Buntin, of near here. Mrs. Buntin, who registered for the first time this year to vote in a county election, is hale and hearty, in spite of her 71 years, and is still active in the duties of housekeeping.
 q used Blsck-Draught first for constipation" continued Mrs. Buntin. q would feel dull, stupid, and have severe headaches, even feverish. had an uneasy, tight feeling in my stomach.
 "I read quite a bit about Black Draught. began using it and soon my bowels acted regularly and was greatly relieved. I used it every once in a while for about eighteen years.
 "About two years ago found l was having indigestion, tight smothering in my chest, then severe pain, espe- cially after eating sweets. com menced taking just a pinch of Black Draught after meals and by doing this could eat about everything.
 q gave Black-Draught to my chil- dren for colds and headaches. can certainly recommend it."

cases with money and in others with influence. 'i@
 ''The sale of influence resulting, from the holding of public position or from association while in public office or the use of such influence for, private gain or advantage is a perversion ot public trust and prejudicial to good gov ernment. It should be condemned by public opinion and forbidden by law.
 "We demand the speedy, fearless and impartial prosecution of all wrongdoers, without regard for political affiliations or position; but we declare no greater wrong can be committed against the people than the attempt to destroy their trust in the great body of their public servants. Admitting the deep humiliation which all good citizens share, that our public life should have harbored some dishonest men, we as sert that these undesirables do not rep resent the standard of our national in. tegrity.
 "The government at Washington is served today by thousands of earnest conscientious and faithful officials and employees in every department. It is Q grave wrong against these patriotic men and women to strive indiscriminate- ly to besmirch the names of the inho. cent and undermine the confidence ot the people in the government under which they live. It is even a graveI wrong when this is done for partisan purposes or for selfish exploitation.
 1.-The republican administration has already taken charge of the prosecu. tion of official dereliction, and it will continue the work of discovering and punishing; but it will not confuse the innocent with the guilty, nor prostitute for party advantage the enforcement of the law.
 LAW AND ORDER
 "We have respect for law. We must observance of law. We must have en. forcement of law. The very existence of the government depend upon this The substitution of private will for public law is only another name for oppression, disorder, anarchy and the mob rule.
 "Every government depends upon the loyalty and respect of its citizens. Vio- lations of the law weaken and threaten government itself. No honest govern ment can condone such actions on the part of its citizens. The republican party pledges the full strength of the government for the maintenance of these principles by the enforcement of the constitution and all laws.
 WOMEN DELEGATES
 "We extend our greetings to the women delegates who for the first time uider federal authorization, sit. with us in full equality. The republican party from the beginning ha espoused the cause of women suffrage and the pres. ence of these women delegates signi- fies to many here the completion of a task undertaken years ago. We vel come them not as assistants or as aux iliay representatives, but as co-partners in the great political work in which we are engaged, and we believe that the actual partnership in party councils should be made more complete.
