deal with the question. Railroad leg
islation, endorsed In three national
democratic platforms, has at last ba
come a burning question, and is divid
ing the republican party. The income
tax, so long denounced as socialistic
and demagogic, has found a champion
in a republican president and swollen
fortunes accumulated under the privi
leges and favoritism, granted by re
publican congresses, are at last excit
ing general alarm."

ha World-Herald follows:
A close personal friend of the presi
dent, who has his full confidence, in
sisted today that John Temple Graves,
in his speech at the tfryan anniversary
club dinner in Ohattanboga last night
made the only proposition that would
induce the president to renounce his
pledge not to become a candidate
agitnis assured by those in a position
to speak with authority that if there
should be a demand from democrats
as well as republicans that the presi
dent take another term that he would,
like Caesar, change his mind' ...
No Incident since the conspiracy
story has so stirred political Washing
ton as the "dramatic demand upon
Bryan, made by Mr. Graves last night,
to nominate Theodore Roosevelt for n
1hird term. Administration officials
have been looking for an outbreak of
this kind for several -weeks. It has
been known that such a thing was
coming, but just where it would be
developed was a question.
While the Graves speech has created

cf the president, -who want to have,
him remain in the White House for,
another four years, it is not taken

administration. They assert that ,no
matter how strong the demand may
bo for Roosevelt the democratic con
vention will name as its standard
bcorer a straightout democrat.
There is no disguising the fact, how
ever, that the friends of the president
are tremendously pleased by the
Graves Incident. They regard it as
most significant and many of them 4e
clare that it will result in a national
demand upon Mr. Roosevelt to take
another term.
An Associated Press dispatch from
Bvansvllle, lnd April 12, says: "A
resolution asking President Roosevelt
to nominate William, J. Bryan for the
presidency was adopted here tonight
by the Hendricks club, the largest
democratic organization in the state.
Bryan In 1896 made his campaign on
the same railroad ideas as now held
by President Roosevelt, says the res
olution. The resolution was tele
graphed to John Temple Graves of
Atlanta, Ga., who suggested at a dem
ocratic dinner in Chattanooga that
Bryan nominate Roosevelt,"
An Associated Press dispatch from
Jefferson City, Mo., follows: "In the
house today Representative Stubbs,
republican, Introduced a resolution en
dorsing President Roosevelt on his
stand against unprincipled manipula
tion of the wealth of the country.
Representative Barker, democrat, at
tacked the resolution on the ground
that the president had denounced lead
lug men who had dffiered with him.
Representative Oliver, republican, of
fered an amendment providing that it
was the sense of the republican mem
bors that Roosevelt run for a third
term of office. The amendment was
adopted, and the resolution as amend
ed was tabled. A-resolution was then
offered by Representative Pemberton,
democrat, lauding William J. Bryan
and declared that Roosevelt should
speedily retire to make way for Bry
an. This was adopted.

ft AM the paint man.
I have a new way
of manufacturing
and selling paints. It's
unique it's better. It
revolutionized tho paint
business ol this country
last year.
Before my plan was
invented paint was sold
in two ways either
readv-mixed or the fcv
wedients were bouehttind mixed by thepainter.
Ready-mixed paint settles on thehelves, form
ing a sediment at tho bottom of the can. The
chemical action in ready-mixed I paint, .when
standing in, oil. eats the life out of the oil. Tha
oil is tho very life of .all paints.
Paint made by the painter cannot be proper
ly made on account oflack of the heavy mixing
mijavffill8iWflnyotherpaInt!nlhworfd.
It is ready tonse. but not ready-mixed.
My paint ia made to order after each order is
received, packed in hermetically sealed cans
i.h the very day it is mrfde stamped on each
can by my factory inspector.
I ship my thick pigment, which Us double
strength, freshly ground, in separate cans, and
in another can, I ship the "pure, old process.
Lin8cedOir thakind you used to boy years ago,
Apy child can stir them together.
I 6ell my paint direct from my factory to
user-you payno dealer ormiddlemaa profits.
My $100.00 Cash Guarantee
I guarantee, under $I0 Cask Ferfoft,

you can use two full jral&nu that will cover

It is because I manufacture the finest paint,
