Tho telegram was Immediately trans mitted to tho senate nnd assembly In a special message signed by the governor.

No action on tho message of the gov ernor containing the Bryan telegram will be taken until next week. This was an nounced officially by the floor leaders in the upper house this morning. Secretary Bryan's telegram called forth varied comment from members of tho legislature, many nf whom likened It to the messages sent by President Roosevelt six years ago and President Taft four years ago when legislation was pending In California. Senator Boynton, progressive republican nnd floor leader In tho upper house, said: "It Is not surprising thnt the democratic administration nt Washington has taken the same position that was tnen by Roosevelt and Taft. It is impossible to predict tho outcome, but I believe that notwithstanding the views of the presi dent an equitable alien land bill be passed." Senutor Blrdsall, whose name Is on tho committee aubstltuto bill, believes that California has full rights In the mntter. 'While Secretary Bryan's message Is citlted to consideration," ho said, "It does not change the situation. It is up to the people of allfornla, first to determine whether they have a right, to enact such a law, and, second, whether they wish, to do so. Ah for that, the attitude of the state toward alien land legislation Is beat shown by tho vote of 60 to 16 In favor of the bill In the assembly." Senator Thompson, who drafted the original committee substitute, said: "Tho position taken by President WII-, son Is exactly In lino with that taken by Taft and Roosevelt under similar clrcum stunces. It completely robs tho subject of any partisan character whatsoever. iThe fran expression of preference for the senate bill Indicates clearly the attitude of the federal administration as favoring a. Inw that would apply to nil aliens nllke. "In view of tho pending amendmeii which sock to limit Its application to stockholders of corporations who are ell-, glble to citizenship and exclude those who are Ineligible, 'this expression Is very timely."

TheWorking Man'sFriend In Time of Sickness 1 am a blacksmith by trado and wouK like to say a word to all who have to work hard and suffer with their kidneys. I sufforcd for about ten years and was treated by a Waynesboro, Va., Doctor. He said that I had Brlght's Disease and that he had dono all ho could for me. I read about Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root and as I could hardly do a day's work, was willing to try anything that would do me any good. After taking Swamp-Root a few days I felt so much hotter that I continued until I felt that I was cured and I was altogether a new man. That was eight years ago and If I ever feel the least pain about my kidneys 1 Just take a few doses of Swamp-Root and In a few days I am all right. I feel today that I am a well man and would say to all who suffer with their kidneys, take Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, for It has done more for me than all the doctors, and saved doctors' bills. I can further say that about two years ago my son was sick In bed and was taking medtclno from doctors and got worse all the time. I went In tho night and got a fifty-cent bottle of Swamp Root and told him to lay aside all the doctors' medicines and take Swamp-Root. He took six bottles and I nm glad to say that he is well today and has not had any trouble with his kldnoya since. It was Swamp-Root that cured him. My son now thinks that there Is no medi cine that a doctor can give that can compare with Dr. Kilmer s Swamp-Root. Very truly yours, G. W. HARDING, Covington, Va.
