Pryan to present tho name of Theodore ltoosevelt to tho next democrat le national convention tiH the party's candidate for president. Mr. Pryan .In reply said that, nccorl In to present conditions ho should not present Mr. Koosovelt's name to tho convention. 'Pear In mind," said Mr. Pryan, ,4I say 'as at present advised.' " Mr. Graves' address came as a cli max of a series of events. When ho reached the city toady ho was re quested by tho toastmastor vvho laid road his speech to eliminate, all refer once to Pryan nominating ltoosevelt. Rather than submit to having ids speech censored, Mr. CJ raves decided not to speak lit all. Ills address, ho said, represented his actual sentiments. Mr. Graves wont to tho banquet hall for a few moments and then loft with out speaking. Mr. Pryan, learning of the Incident, sent for Mr. Graves and Insisted that ho should make bis speech according to tho original plan. Accepting tho Nebraskan's Invitation, Mr. Graves spoko and was answered by Mr. Pryan In a short address. This aftornoon, when ho had decided not to speak, Mr. Graves sent tho fol- How to Exercise the Bowels h CT X7 6UR Intestines are lined Insldo ff "with" millions of suckers, that l T draw tho NutHMnnfrnrh,'fnft(T nT r-tZiM',PSisSQS thorn. But, if the food passes too slowly, it decays betore it gets through. Then tho little suckers draw Poison from It instead of Nutrition. This Poison makes a Gas that Injures your system more than the food should have nourished It. The usual remedy for this delayed pass age (called Constipation) is to take a big dose of Castor Oil. This merely make slippery tho passage tor unloading the current cargo. It does not help the Cause of delay a trifle. It doe3 slacken the Bowel-Muscles, and weakens them for their next task. Another remedy Is to take a strong "Physic," like Salts, Calomel, Jalap, Phos phate of Sodium, Aperient Water, or any of these mixed. What does the "Physic" do? " It merely flushes-out tho Bowels with a waste of Digestive Juice, set flowing Into tho Intestines through the tiny suckers. Cascarets are the only safe medicine for (he bowels. They do not waste any precious fluid of tho Boweb, as "Physics" do. They do not relax the Intestines by greas ing them inside like Castor Oil or Glycerine. They simply stimulate the Bowel Muscles to do their work naturally, com fortably, and nutritiously. They are put up In thin, flat, round-corn-ered Enamel boxes, so they can be carried In a man's vest pocket, or In a woman'3 purse, ah the time, without bulk or trouble. The time to take a Cascaret is not only when you are Sick, but when you first suspect you need one. Price, 10c abox.

In the course of my speech I tyjod to make it plain in as warm and glowing sentences as my heart could fashion. I am profoundly convinced that In this period of tremendous economic crisis tlio only man who can carry to suc cessful conclusion the reforms Insti tuted In behalf of tho people Is the man who Is -already entrenched In power and prestige of dauntless cour age and a conspicuous success in tho executive oillco. I have endeavored in my speech to give my convictions, and these convictions are so earnest and sincere that I cannot change them un less bettor reasons are given than have been presented to me up to the present tlmo. My reason for stating this conviction at a Pryan banquet, with Mr. Pryan present, was because I considered It the manly and demo cratic thing to do. Tho time to voice a sentiment so momentous to tho life, tho prospevlty and the realization of best ideals of a real democracy Is in a council of tho faithful and In tho full presence of our great and shining leader who would bo there to com ment, approve or condemn with the Villi force of his influence and elo quenco as he might see fit. "If I had made tills speech In tho north, with a mixed audience present, it would have carried a suggestion of truckling or the appearance of seeking favors whore tho other party was stronger than my own. "It appeared to mo that tlio only fair and honest thing to do was to speak my convictions In full'councll and with- oporwvolcp. In this belief my speech, on Uq request of the As sociated Press, has already been sont out to the newspapers of 1h& country,, "i nave not one particle of dogma tism or more pride of personal opinion in pressing this matter, but the pub licity already given my speech com mits me to it so far that I cannot en courage or in consistency suppress that part of my speech around which the whole revolves. "I recognize tho full rlcht of tho committee when they have secured from unroleased copies of my speech the trend of my remarks to express approval or disapproval of the utter ance, and since I am the guest of the committee I must yield full obedience to tneir wishes In the matter. It is my (misfortune to have misconstrued the occasion, as I find a Pryan ratifi cation meeting where I came to at tend a free and- serious party deliber ation. "There seems nothing left me then save to withhold the speech from the Pryan banquet, although I cannot con sistently ask. tho newspapers to which it has already been' given to refrain from such use as they may see fit to mnko of It. "Of course this is only an Individual conviction submitted to the judgment of my party. I do not need to say that if Mr. Bryan shall be nominated In the wisdom of tho democratic party ai our candidate for next president that I shall lvo him mv whole-henrtml enthusiastic support. I thank the com mittee cordially for their Invitation Sind regretting to find myself In vari ance witn tnat portion of the club who have charge of the program I most sin cerely wish thorn a joyous evening and a profitable discussion of the is sues of Importance to tho party and people. Very sincerely, "JOHN TEMPLE GRAVES." In his address tonight, Mr. Graves said: ; " "Tho time's may change and men may change as well v before tlio cam paign of 1008. begins. .

Wo snouiu nii'irm our principles, confess our l'aithfrocltc the necessity of the retorm of corporate capital as the su preme and transcendent issue of the times, pay tribute to the great and typical American who has proved himself tho dauntless and conquering captain of the peoples' cause, and then, In that great convention of our own, William J. Bryan, the one un matched and incomparable evangel of our faith, speaking for a pure democ racy and speaking for the whole plain people of the republic, should put in nomination Theodore Roosevelt for one more undisputed term of pow er to finish the work that bo has so gloriously 4)egun. "It would give this great country of ours one millennial period In which factions and partisans should be stilled and the spirit of representative government should be given a now birth and a now consecration to its great ideals to the glory of the peo ple and the admiration of the world. Mr. Chairman, I submit in high and representative honesty this proposi tion, which seems to be radical, but wlvlch I know to be right. I have never boon more loyal to the life and fortunes of the great Nobraskan who is our honored guest tonight. I have never been a better and truer demo crat than when I suggest this sacri fice "Which will milko nnv nnnnn wlfli history and establish the prosperity of the pOople. Bury me if you will with partisan scorn tonight, but think of mo tomorrow with that high and pnt t'loti'c Conscience which lifts tho pat riot above the partisan and' blends the immortal principle with the real wel fare of the people." , Replying to Mr. Graves' address, Mr. Bryan complimented the Georgian for his honesty and boldness and said that If there was any place in the world where absolute freedom of speech should prevail, it ought to be in a democratic gathering. Ho nddud that when he had hoard Mr. Graves had retired from the hall, because there might be doubts about the wis dom of what he had to say, he sent for Pie Georgian had insisted that the speecn do delivered. "As at present advised,' said- Mr. Pryan, "I shall not present the name of Theodore Roosevelt to the national democratic convention. Pear in mind that I say 'as at present advised.' " Mr. Pryan declared that if after duo reflection on tho arguments In the case he should consider that h(s duty lay in that direction he would preseut Mr. Roosevelt's name' if It - should prove the last act of his life. He add ed that if any republican were to" be selected by the democrats ' to head their ticket Pie man should be Senator LaFollette. Mr.' Prvnn then nrospntml wnanns in his opinion, why Mr. Roosevelf was not the proper man for the presi dency. Mr. Pryan arraigned the republican party, but declared Mr, Roosevelt had adopted many democratic principles. Mr. Pryan Uianked tho club for the honor paid him in its being "organized for the purpose of observing his birth day. Democracy was rapidly growing, he said, both in America and the world at large, and ho foresaw, an ultimate triumph of Its principles.
