HEALED his
RUPTURE

] was badly ruptured while lifting
trunk several years ago. l feared my
only hope of cure was an operation.
Trusses did me no good. Finally 1 got
hold Of something that quickly and
completely healed me. Years have
passed and the rupture has never re-
turned, although / am doing hard work
as a carpenter. There was no opera
ton, no lost time, no trouble. I have
nothing to sell, but will give full infor-
nation about how you may find COM
plete relief without operation If you
write to me. Eugene NJ. Pullen, Car
penter, SOB Marcellus Avenue, Manas-
guam, n. J. Better cut out this notice
and show it to any others who are
ruptured-you may save a life or at
least stop the misery Of the rupture and
the worry and dread Of an operation

Hoover Others


There will be 1,089 delegates to
the national convention; a majority,
545 or more, being necessary for
nomination.

Is Real Candidate

'These figures" said Oscar G..
Foellinger, Hoover's Indiana man
ager, Substantial what we have
been contending-that Hoover is a
candidate in the true and full sense
Of the word. His entry in the In
diana primary for that reason was
warranted. Indianians should and
will have opportunity of voting their
preference for him.
Had Hoover not entered the In
diana primary contest, Indiana's
delegates to the national convention
would have gone, by default, to Sen
ator Watson, regardless of the dis
satisfaction and disappointment of
thousands Of Indiana Republicans"
While Hoover's organization has
set as it's goal to sweep the State
for the Secretary of Commerce and
win all thirty-three delegates, OBJ
servers agree that, regardless
whether that objective is accom-
plished, Hoover has more to gain
than to lose in the Indiana pri-
mary.
Would Gain Votes
If he should fail to beat Watson,
but carry certain Congressional dis
trictS, delegates from the Hoover
districts would be expected to choose
in turn national delegates favorable
to Hoover, who would vote for him
at the Kansas City convention upon
WatSonS withdrawal
On the eve of the State Repub-
lican convention, State delegates
will meet by district and name two
delegates from each district to the
national convention. Seven dele
gates-at-large will be elected on the
floor Of the State convention.

A second complaint charging viola
ton Of the antitrust law in connec-
ton with the Loree plan for merging

PENDANT IN the first complaint last

rectly or indirectly $4,000 shares Of
the preferred stock and 10000 shares
Of the common stock Of the St. Louis
Southwestern railway without the
approval Of the commission, and m
violation Of section seven Of the

The unlawful aspect Of the stock
transactions, the commission said,
may be to substantially lessen COM

communities"
The railroad was ordered Ia show
cause May / at a hearing in Wash

Elemental order. the Kansas City
Southern will be required 70 defend
