Sees Hot Campaign
For President

NEW YORK, July 23.-R-Ex-
pecting the most hotly-contested
presidential campaign since 1892,
Senator George H. Moses Of New
Hampshire, eastern director of the
republican campaign, was here today
for a conference with National
Chairman Hubert Work and the ma
tional committeeman from the east
ern states.
"This campaign is going TO be the
most warmly contested of any since
1892" Senator Moses said. "The
democrats are going to have more
money this year than they have had
since 1892. But Of the outcome there
is no doubt. Hoover is bound to
win"
Moses added that he was not wor-
ried over the presidential election
but that he was concerned" about
the election Of a senator from Massa-
chusetts.
He expressed confidence that
Hoover would carry New York state.
Thousands Of persons who have
voted for Smith for Governor" he
said. "will not vote for him for
president, | have been told"
The senator expressed belief that
selection of John ]. Raskob as demo-
cratic national chairman would not
attract any considerable business vote
to Governor Smith.
"The selection Of Mr.. Raskob," he
said, has produced mixed emotions
in the democratic camp and, when the
resultant mixture has clarified and
precipitated, the chances are that the
residue will not be as sweet as the
democrats now think. 1t is going to
be an interesting spectacle watching
a republican spend democratic funds"

Amen, trained tothelastdegree
of ftness-this is Gene Tunney
today, ready and confident to
defend his title as champion
heavyweight of the world.
One great secret of Tunney's
success is that he never-even
between fghts-lets himself get
soft, lets his system become
sluggish. He's always in first
class trim.
You might think, with all the
strenuous exercise he gets, he'd
never need anything else tokeep
his system in perfect order. Yet
Tunney takes Nujol regularly
every day to keep himself in
Al condition.
This is what he says:
Il started taking Nujol internally
seven years ago. The first month
Nujol brought remarkable
changes in my physical condition.
Gas-Pockets no longer formed in
my stomach and i~ntestines. MY
elimination became active and nor
nal. My appetite increased and a
desire for intensive training was
created. Since that time / have
taken Nujol about FIVE nights a
week. ] have regulated myself to
the amount necessary to keep nv
normal. If / discover
that | have taken an overdose
stop its use for a couple of days

a swallow from the bottle

SHEEP men,
GOAT RAISERS
TOAIDCARNER
Pully Satisfied With
Democratic Tariff
Plank, ASSOCIATE o n
Head Asserts

UVALDE, Texas, July 23.-The
sheep men and goat r~aisers of the
fifteenth congressional district are
fully satisfied with the tariff plank
IN the democratic national platform,
and will support Congressman John
n. Garner for reelection.
Officials Of the Sheep and Goat
Mems association recently asked Mr..
Garner to define his tariff stand, and
ne stated that he stood squarely upon
the democratic national platform
which declares for an equalized
tariff, giving to agriculture he same
measure of protection now accorded
industry.
Congressman Gamers statement is
all thai the sheep and goat men re-
luire, was the assertion of +. o..
Landrum. president of the Texas
Angora Goat Raisers association for
the past two years and a leader for
that industry in national affairs.
His statement meets the resolution
Of our association that representa-
tives in u national congress will
publicly declare in favor Of a national
policy of a just and equitable tariff
protection" Landrum declared.
The Southern Tariff association
has mailed out Bulletin No. 1913 TO
goat and sheep men and producers
which declares that The democratic
platform more nearly reflects the
sentiment of the South on tariff than
that of any recent official u~tterance
Of the PARTY and the imprint Of the
southern producers is clearly upon
II d. /. . The platform abandons the
pernicious doctrine Of free trade on
raw material and no mention is made
OF tariff for revenue only, which
means free trade. The platform spe-
officially declares for duties which
viii equalize- the cost Of production
IN this country with the cost abroad;
II safeguards the wages Of the Amer
lean ~toiler; il guarantees a competi-
tive home market for the American
producers and ~denounces discrimina-
tons in tariff levies. Under a proper
Interpretation of this platform, the
farmer and the stock raiser will have
an equal chance with all of the legiti-
mate business and American wages
and standard Of living will be faith
fully maintained"
Congressman John N. Garner, when
asked If he was in favor Of the tariff
as outlined in the democratic plat
form said, Absolutely, you cannot
make it too strong for me. II is ex-
actly what ! believe in. The present
tariff Is unfair to the producers and
they should not be Disseminated
against. As the platform says, | full
~ endorse. Actual difference between
the cost Of production at home and
abroad, with adequate safeguard for
the wage of the American laborer.
must be the extreme measure Of
every tariff rate"
There have been some false state
ments printed regarding Mr.. Gamers
stand on the tariff and the fact that
ne Endorses the tariff plank of the
democratic platform. which meets
with the approval and Endorsement of
the Southern Tariff association
shows him TO be fully in line with
what the stoekmen. farmers and wage
earners are c~ontending for, sheep and
goat men declared,

Il have found Nujol followed by
alcohol the best and most practical

custom of using Nujol in this
