'ill Support Roosevelt11
A
Reading the ordinary republican pa
per, one would suppose that practical
ly all the populists- and more than
two-thirda of the democrats will sup
port Roosevelt this fall. But out of
something like 800 replies to Old
Guard' letters, the following i3 the
only intimation that any former pop
ulist might vote for the hero of Ket
tle Hill. Out of these replies also,
one man declared himself unqualified
ly a democrat, and one wanted to wait
to see if Bryan would control the St.
Louis convention. Probably ten or
twelve claimed to have "progressed
into socialism." And thesjemainJcr
are still firm in the faith of populism.
Mr. Cox says:
Aged seventy-five.
Educated for the law.
Once a democrat.
Peter Cooper greenbacker.
' A populist since the forming of the
Omaha platform. I
' Edited and owned "Justice," pop
ulist paper, two years.
Kan for state senate and congress
on populist ticket In 12th congres
sional district.
Chairman for 12th congressional
two years. ,
Speaker, writer, organizer.
Out of pocket (besides loss of time)
$1,400.
Tired and disgusted; out of the fight.

Will "probably support Roosevelt if
he gets the nomination.

Personal to Subscribers I
D. C. Cowles, Orange, Cal.: "I
stand in the populist ranks, where I
have stood since the organization of
the. party, ready to push forward the
cause of truth and justice," (Mr.
Cowles was until recently a resident
of Davis City, la,, and while there was
state committeeman for the 8th con
gressional district.)
H. L. Bentley, Abilene, Tex. "You
may enroll me as a life member of
the Old Guard of Populism, as 1
haven't the remotest idea of ever
again going back to the deniociatic
party, and 1 could never be a repub
lican. . , . Some time since I submitted
to Milton Park and J. M. Mallett, both
tried and true populists of this state,
some suggestions along the lines of
organization now being pushed by
you. .They are specially in a position
to. lead in such work in Texas, and il
will give me much pleasure to co-operate
with them in every effort they
shall make in the interests of gen
uine reform in this state. I believe it
possible practicable in fact to. se
cure a contingent of populists in every
voting precinct. In every county, in
every state and territory in the Unit
ed States." (I should be glad to hear
further from Mr. Bentiey along this
line. De Fiance.)
Wharton Barker, Philadelphia, Pa.:
"I am very glad to note the progress
you are making with your enrollment
of the Old Guard. It is most encour
aging to see that the fives of patriot
ism still burn brightly in these old
soldiers of the right. I send you as
you request a few names of Pennsyl
vanians who should come in and take
up the. fight."
If the figures made by Stephen liar
bert, Borden, Tex., are not in error,
he was born in 1809, and is, therefore,
the oldest Old Guard enrolled to this
date. There is a-possibility that he
meant to write 1SG9. Will Mr. Har-
bert please advise which is correct?
B. P. Jones, Beauregard, Miss: "The
boy 8 are coming out of the hills and
hollows and from the forks of the
creek. Makes mo feel like giving the
rebel yell! Hurrah! Whoop- 'em up!
Amen."
K. O. nrown, Clay Center, Neb.:
"Unclosed please find my referendum

dent. I am so strong a btdlever In the
ptlnclple of te Inttlathe and refer

MEDICINE FOR
YEARS

No Permanent Benefit
Vitas-Ore Brings a Complete Cure
I feel it my duty to tell you, and also the gen
eral public, what Vitas-Ore has accomplished lor
me. For the last twenty years I have taken all
kinds of medicine, but at no time received more
than a slight tem
porary relief, three
years ago I took
treatmentlromone
of the best doctors
at Leopold, Indi
ana. He examined
me and gave as his
opinion that I had
Catarrh, bronchi
tis, Liver and Kid
ney trouble. 1 was
at that time taken
with a severe pain
in my back which
he diagn osed as
Kheumatic Lumba
go. I doctored with
him continually
and persis ten tl y
for five months' time, getting relief lor only a
very short time, und gave up hope of ever getting
well again. Vitrc-Ore was recommended tome
by a Iriend who had used it and spoko of it very
highly. 1 procured a lull treatment uid began
immediately to use it according to directions.
As a result, my sutlering is now a thing of the
past, and my cure is a permanent one, as this
occurred filtcecn inonthsngo.durlngwhich time
I have felt as well as I ever did in my liieand
continue to feel m. 1 am lorty-lour years old.
My wife also has reason to praise It as strongly
as i have, she having been ( urt d by its use oi a
Stomach Trouble. I conscientiously bclicvethat
Vitx'-Ore has saved my ii.e, and certainly will
do all in uiy power to bring Itto the attention ot
those about me. JOSEl'II L. MEUN1EK,
