The statement issued by Senator

These conferences have for their
purpose the discussion and conSid-
Grafton of questions which seem par
ticularly to concern or appertain to
the West, both politically and legis-
latively. We have our problems, such
as the agricultural or farm problem
and other matters which seem more
vital to us than they are to the East.
We hope to get some unity of purpose
and some solidarity Of action.
Other Senators Awaited.
mot an the Western Senators are
here, and until they are here, our
conferences will be conferences and
nothing more. While dealing with
legislative matters we shall also prob
ably consider political matters. We
are cognizant OF the fact that an elec-
ton is coming on next year, and can
not help feeling some interest in 1t.
These conferences haven't the
slightest thing to do with third
party movement We proceed upon
The theory that the Republican party
is a national party and not an East
ern party. We proceed upon the the
ory that II we make our wishes
known in a proper way and with
sufficient force, they will be respected
and considered by the party. Ours Is
a pretty large country and 1t now
extends from the Mississippi to the
Pacific.
when Eastern Senators and Rep-
resentatives confer upon matters or
peculiar interest to their portion OF
the country. such as protection to
their manufacturing interests and
naval stations, they are still regard
ed as regular and sometimes referred
to as active and patriotic. When
Western Senators and Representatives
confer with reference to matters
which particularly concern their por-
ton of the country. they seem to be
regarded is irregular, insurgent and
radical.
Glad to Support Norris.
Now all that arises out of the dis
position among few OF our East.
ern friends to assume that Repub.
lican policies can only originate with
in certain territory and Republican
principles can emanate only from cer-
tain quarters We do not desire to in
trude unnecessarily upon this idea.
But we feel that a reasonable de-
gree Of solidarity with reference to
our Western interests and problems

Daily Prize Awards.

Apart from expensive and COM
plete entertainment features, public
interest is expected to be heightened
by the daily award of prizes, valued
in an aggregate at more than $1,000.
Nearly all of the exhibitors have
agreed to contribute the prizes, which
will be given away. Each will per-
tain to radio, and most of them
doubtless will be eagerly sought by
all spectators. They will include re-
ceiving sets, loud-speakers and other
equipment.
r. H. Hoffman, chairman of the
publicity committee, said today that
the following firms already have
agreed to donate prizes, principally
receivers:
Dabney & Bugg, Hoffman & Good
man, Howell Brothers, the Halliday
Company, The Kaufman Store, Price
Brothers, Tower-Binford. Others are
expected to swell the list.
f, Mr.. Hoffman stated that local deal
ers are reporting the arrival of new
model receivers and the latest thing
in equipment. Scores of different
kinds of sets will be on display. This
years show is expected to eclipse that
of 1926 because the Used Car Elk
change quarters offers far more
space.

novel. Inasmuch as the colored man
had paid the penalty for the crime,
no charge of murder could be entered
against her. She frankly confesses
that she dressed herself up in mems
clothes, blackened her face. and shot
the woman, whom she had tracked,
in company with her husband.
She said her name was Mrs. John
Roddy. 1t has since been brought out
that the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People en-
ployed attorneys to defend the COL
ored man, but without successful re-
suit. As horrible as this case appears
to be, it is but one of many. 1t is
practically certain that thousands of
innocent colored people are serving
time in Southern prisons for crimes
that they never committed. This is
due to the practice, which makes it
essential that a person charged with
crime shall prove their innocence.
Some way and somehow, the pray
'ers of the righteous will prevail and
justice will be accorded to all of the
people in this great land of ours.

SO Thousand
Skinny Men
TO PUT ON AT LEAST 5 pounds
OF SOLID FLESH IN 30 DAYS

Countless thousands of under
weight men and women have got rid
of that scrawny face and figure by a
simple easy treatment that is sure
and inexpensive.
It's really marvellous how quickly
those who try it take on flesh where
flesh is most needed.
Hollows in neck and chest fill out
and narrow sunken chested men be-
gin to take on a decided manliness in
just few weeks.
The one great scientific weight
producer that people who need more
flesh can depend upon is. McCoy's
Tablets and besides helping you to
develop an attractive figure these
sugar coated tablets bring to those
that take them more energy, strength
and vigor-they have proven a
superb tonic.
Mccoy takes all the risk-Read
this ironclad guarantee. If after TAX
ing sixty-cent boxes of McCoy's
Tablets or 2 One Dollar boxes any
thin, underweight man or woman
doesn't gain at least pounds and
feel completely satisfied with the
marked improvement in health-your
druggist is authorized to return the
purchase price.
