Washington, D. C., July 20, 11)12.
The Hon. J. E. Ellerbe, Marion, S. 0.:
Responding to my Inquiry, Governor
Woodrow Wilson told me to-day that it
was our patriotic duty to support direct
election of Senators' bill, including Bris
tow amendment. That it is sound Demo

could not have done otherwise.

Congressman Ellerbe lias been attacked
in his present campaign for re-election

his sincerity. The statements of peo

command your confidence. Home en

Doau's Kidney Piils. Such testimony
is convincing. Investigation proves
it true. Below is a statement of an
Abbeville resident. 2s'o stronger prool
of merit can be had.
