ALLISON OPENS CAMPAIGN
Vnlted States Senator Delivers First
Address of Year at
Clinton.
CLINTON, la., Oct. 10,-Unlted States,
Sowator W. B. Allison delivered his open
ing speech of the campaign In this city
toiflgllt to a magnificent audlenoe. Prior
to the address a reception was tendered
the senator In the McKlnlcy club rooms.
The senator said In part:
The subject of the currency may be
considered by the congress soon to convene,
but 1 am sure that no change will receive
the sanction of a republican congress
that will so revolutionize our system es
to deprive this government itself of the
substantial control that It now haa and
excerclnes over bank circulation, as well
as ovpr other forms of paper money, nor
will any modification be made that will
not provide absolute security of the note
Indued by or under the authority of the
government and their convertibility at
the will of the holder Into gold.
So It would seem that under present
conditions there Is no pressing necessity
for great changes as renpei-ts our money
circulation and it also appears that al
though there Is Inconvenience at certain
seasons of thrf year, arising from the ne
cessity ,of transferring our circulation
from one portion of the oountry to an
other, the Inconvenience is not so great
as to make Imperative Immediate legis
lation to facilitate these transfers.
There Is also Inconvenience arising from
the accumulation of money In the treas
ury, but our present able secretary of the
treasury, by means of the authority, has
minimized this inconvenience by utilizing,
from time to time, our national banks as
depovltorles of the surplus money, thus
enabling It to be returned and utilized
In the. various channels of circulation.
Congress ban, and probably will, adopt
supplemental legislation so as to abso
lutely relieve this inconvenience. I do not
claim perfection for the details of either
our tariff laws or "our ' monetary laws;
Changes of these details are wise and
neoesnary .rorn time to time, but that
they have, been effective In developing
our national resources and maintaining
our national credit.-can , no longer be a
subject of dispute and it seems to me wise
and important that these policies In their
esoentials should continue.
t Whatever defects may appear can best ba
eured by the republican party, without crf
fense, 1 hope I may add that the reco d
of the democratic party discloses Its unfit
ness to deal wisely with either of these
great subjects, nor is there hope from this
record tliut party will be able to deal with
these, question as they ought to ba dealt
with.
Though 'the republican party haa made
mistakes during the last forty-two yearn,
yet Its history has been full of great deed
and large growth. No other party ainca
tho adoption of our constitution haa had
so many momentous tasks with which to
deal That it haa met them and solved
them, as a rule, with wisdom and for the
best Interests of the country I ajn
sure will not now be disputed. The story
from Lincoln to Roosevelt, ,1s the story of
American progress and advancement.
During the period of great difficulty and
trial, our progress has been constantly for
ward and upward so that we now enjoy In
our country more of the blessings of a
free people than are enjoyed by a Ilka
number of people anywhere else on the
face of the clobe.
We hsve In President Roosevelt the Ideal
chief magistrate who has brought to Ms
rreat office high culture and' nlh Ideal.
Ho meeta courageously every public Inron
venlence and decides It wisely, brtnrtne;
credit to the government at home a"d
honor abroad. He haa gained the confi
dence ol his countrymen to a high degree.
No other president In office waa ever mo-e
beloved by all the people than he. He de
serves to hnve'ahd will have." the un-ni
mou nomination of his party next year
and will - be, I am sure, triumphantly
elected. It is our duty to give him what
ever strength we have an an expression
of the faith of the lowan for a full to-m.
The tilace to signify that confidence Is st
the ballot box on the third day of No
vember, nsxt.

ORIQ1N
Of a Famous Human Food.
The tory of great discoveries or In
ventions is always of Interest.
An active brain worker who found him
self hampered by lack of bodily strength
ar.d vigor and could not carry out plans
and enterprise he knew how to conduct
waa ltd to study various foods and their
effects upon the human system. In other
words before he could tarry out his plans
he had to find a food that would carry him
along and renew his physical and mental
strength.
He knew that a food that was a brain
and nerve builder, (rather than a mere
fat maker), was universally needed. Ho
knew that meat with the average man
doea not accomplish tha desired 'results.
He knew that the aoft gray substance In
brain and nerve centers Is made from
Albumen and Phosphate of Foatash. ob
tained from food. ' Then he started to
solve the problem.
Careful and extensive experiments evolved
Grape-Nuts, the now famous food. Grepe
Nuts contain the brain and nerve building
food elements In condition for easy
digestion. The result of eating Grape
Nuts dally la easily seen In a marked
sturdiness and activity of the brain and
nervous system, making It a pleasure for
one to carry ou the dally duties without
fatigue ir exhaustion.- The food la In aa
sense a stimulant, but Is simply food which
renews and replaces the daily waste ot
brain and nerves.
Ita flavor Is charming and being fully
and thoroughly cooked at the factory It
ia served Instantly with cream.
The signature of the brain worker
spoken of, C. W. Post. Is to be seen on
rVch genuine package of Grape-Nuts.
Look in each package for a ropy of the
famous little book, "The Road to Well-vllle.
