best thing yet discovered for this is
still a little candy Cascaret. Take one
tonight if liver and bowels aren't

quickly bad breath, coated tongue or
bilious, headachy condition is
cleared up. No gripping or discomfort
from Cascarets. The quick, pleasant
relief they always bring constipation
sufferers is lasting. For Cascarets are
made from cascara which doctors
say actually strengthens bowel muscles.
So you can take Cascarets as often
as needed. 20 million boxes used
yearly proves their merit.

Leaders Astonished at inter-
est Displayed by Women;
State Conferences Asked

A series of State conferences
OF ProgreSsives to carry on the
campaign for popular sIppt rt of
liberal principles, was considered
today by the Senate insurgents
who fathered the National con.
ference of ProgrCssives last week.
The first suggestion f.T a series
of State conferences came from
Illinois. Progressives in Other
States were said to favor the
plan. The Senate Insurgents
may delegate the organ.Zat On Of
such local gatherings to the Pro
gressives in each State, reserving
their own activities to broadcast
ing an educational campaign from
Washington.
Women Show Interest
The insurgents were shOwered
with pledges # support, invita-.
tions to make speeches about the
country, information and >ugges.
tiOns. The group of five Sen.
at0rs, led by Senator NOI1is tR.)
of Nebraska, have received a
thousand letters q day since the
conference adjourned. They were
startled by the large number of
communications from women,
who showed just as keen an in
tereSt in the campaign as did the
male voters.
Norris alone has received in
vitations to speak in a score of
cities and towns, including Pitts
burgh. Boston, Chicago, Spring
field, Ill; Kansas City, st. Louis.
Nashville, and Ann Arbor, Mich.
For the present, he has de-
clined all invitations but may
undertake a speaking tour in the
early fall, just before the new
Congress conveneS. Other insur-
gents will make speeches during
the summer, aiding the drive for
popular support of their legisla-
tive program.
Power Data Received
Much information about local
conditions has been sent the in
Surgents. An example was a let
ter written from Wyandotte,
Mich, telling how a unit in the
so-called power trust" offered
$750,000 for the city's municipal
electric light plant in 1925, only
to increase the offer to 100000
a few weeks ago. The writer said
the tripling of the offer indi-
Gated how determined the public
utility interests were to wipe out
privately-owned competition.
PrOgreSSives all over the nation
sent suggestions to the insurgents
on how to arouse public opinion.
One weSterner suggested a series
Of public debates across the coun-
try between opposing teams of
speakers on the public utility
question. Such suggestions will
be considered by the insurgents.
There was a trace of ,pathos
in some of the letters, in which
the "inarticulate "a per cent, who
own but 4 per cent of all the
nations wealth"-as the progress.
Sives describe the average citizen
begged to be told how they
could aid the insurgent cam
paign. Said Senator Norris:
''The country is aroused.
That is apparent and it is our
duty to sOIidify this popular
sentiment so the next Con-
= greSs will enact our legislative
program"
The conference meanwhile won
the praise of Senator Johnson
(R0 of California, who bolted in
1912 to run with the late Theo-
dore Roosevelt.
Something is radically wrong
somewhere" with the Republican
party, said Johnson, and he
called on the regular Republican
leaders to hold a national con-
ference to detect and remedy the
party'S mistakes.
