HowTo Gain Flesh Persons have been known to gain a poundaday by taking an ounce of Scott's Emulsion. It is strange, but it often happens. Somehow the ounce produces the pound; it seems to start the digestive machinery going property, so tha| the patient is able to digest and absorb his ordinary food which he could not do before, and that is the way the gain is made. A certain amount of flesh is necessary for health; if you have not got it you can get it by taking SCOTT’S EMULSION Scml tiiis together with naflM •f paper in it appean, roar addvm and tar cast* te cover peetage, aad we vdß eend im a "CempieU Heady AOm at th* World."

BEAD THIS KfORE Ml vorE

ARE YOU GOING TO SURRENDER THE RIGHT TO CONTROL YOUR OWN GOVERNMENT? Do you want In tho United States Liberty, or Coercion? Republic, or Empire? Democracy, or Autocracy? President, or Czar? Governor, or Dictator? The Constitution, or One Man’s Will? Shall there be In nation and state three departments of government, legislative executive and Judicial, or only one, based on usurpation—whether by Roosevelt and Taft or Hanly and Watson? SHALL THE OCCUPANT OF THE WHITE HOUSE DICTATE HIS SUCCESSOR? Shall the People rule, or shall the Government be administered by and for tho trusts, privileged classes, spools! Interests, officeholders snd party favorItes? Shall the occupant of the Whits House dictate his successor? Theodore Roosevelt, president first by tragedy and next by false pretense, has thrown off tho mask and revealed his true character. • What at first were either excused as eccentricities or applauded as honest! blunders, must, In tho light of the president's attitude in the present campaign, be looked upon as contemptuous disregard of the constitution, tho laws, the Institutions and traditions of the country and the people. Mr. Roosevelt assumed the right to make treaties without the consent of the eon ate. He has sent Taft, Root and other royal ambassadors abroad with Imperial Instructions. He bonnlved at and afterward defended as an "accomplished fact” tho spoliation of the Republic of Colombia. e He rules foreign peoples ae dependent subjects. He gave his consent to the absorption by that giant monopoly, the steel trust, of Its principal competitor, the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company, which had been first forced Into trouble by Wall street manipulation. He has publicly denounced abuses while secretly placing himself under obligations to those who are guilty of them. Under his administration trusts have multiplied, special interests have thrived, expenses have piled up, the burdens of the people have grown heavier, the cost of living has anormously Increased, and a panic has ooourrd which has produced idleness, Impoverished thousands of business men and brought hunger into hundreds of thousands of homes. AND YET MR. ROOSEVELT DEMANDS OF THE PEOPLE THAT THEY APPROVE HIB SELECTION AND ELECT WILLIAM H. TAFT AS HIS SUCCESSOR. Ho is managing Taft's campaign from the White House, using government clerks, paid by all the people, to convey his orders and commando to 300,000 other officeholders also paid by the people, and to all other persona subject to his power or susceptible to his Influence. I * It Is the purpose of Mr. Roosevelt to control the prosidentlai succession,-If possible. He declares that he has been training Taft for seven years to take hie place. He dictated his nomination, forcing It by using the power of his office and In disregard of tho laws regulating the civil service. Gon-In-Law Longworth, In a public speech, proclaimed the purpose of the new dynasty to be the election of Taft for eight years, Roosevelt again for eight •years more, and down the line. The present seertary of war, Luke E. Wright, In a speech In New York on Oct. I®, resented the charge that Roosevelt is only a “hired man,” and declared that he Is “the chief ruler of the country.” Senator Beveridge, In a speech In Kansas City on the same date, said that “there is no longer a Democratic party—only the government and the opposition, ” a condition which exists only In an autocracy like Russia. Two years ago Ellhu Root, Mr. Roosevelt's secretary of state, proclaimed the now doctrine of “wiping out state lines,” which would center all government power at Washington. A Taft has knowledge of,- Is a part of and sympathizes with all these dangerous tendencies—these things which point to the overthrow of constitutional government and the subversion of the liberties of the people. Under this order of things only favorites are to profit through tariffs, subsidies, special privileges, offices—and private enaps like the Panama Canal swindle, wherein It is said Douglas Robinson, s brother-in-law of the president; Charles P. Taft, a brother of Candidate Taft; Morgan, Cromwell, Sheldon and other Taft supporters, financiers and speculators, pocketed more than >30,000,000 of Illicit gain shoveled out of the United States treasury. / > THE REPUBLICAN PARTY HAS BEEN GUILTY OF THE RANKEST EXTRAVAGANCE AND WASTE. The expenses of tho. National Government have more than doubled In ten years and now reach a billion dollars a year. The* expenses of the state offices have Increased more than 100 per cent In the past twelve years. Have all these mi'.Uens of money taken from the people been honestly spent? Is there graft, crookedness and rascali.y in ths state house? Is there untold rot*enneoe In Washington? lbw will you evsr find out unless you,vote for a change? Bryan in tM nation and Marehall In tho state stand for rule by tho people, senstitutional government, reduced taxee and economy and honoaty In administration. Public officiate are the servants and not tho masters of the people, according to the Democratic creed, and a vote for the candidates of tho Democrats I .. bo a wte against official insolence and threatened despotism.
