IT is a wvel-known medical fact, that
iron is a necessary constituent of the
blood, and that blood lacking iron is
the cause of many troubles that only iron
will cure.
Ziron, a scientific compound of iron
with other valuable iogredients, is the
remedy to take when your blood needs
more iron, and your system retires a
tonic. Ziron is mild and harmless, does
not stain the teeth. and is g~ood for chiii
dren as well as adults.

sistant Secretary of Nvy.
Pouhkeepsie, N. Y., July G.-The lit
tio vIllage of Hyde Park, birthplace
and summer residence of Franklin D.
Roosevelt, assistant secretary of the
navy and Democratic cae.didate for the
vice presidency, received quietly but
with elation the niews that its favor
ite political son had been named as
running 'mate to Gov. James M. Cox
this evening. The Associated Press
carried the first news of his nomina
tion to 'Mr. Roosevelt's remlence, but
attempts to ermmunicate with his
mothl', Mrs. .James loosevelt, were
unavailing, os Ohe was out for the
',venfng.
Mr. Roosevelt first sprang into po
litical prominence in 1910 when he
was drafted by the Democrats of the
Twenty-eighth New York state sena
torial district, consisting of the coun
ties of Dutchess, Putnam and Colum
bla, in an effort to defeat Senator
John F. Schlosser of Beacon, who was
a candidate for 'reelection. Roosevelt
was successful, rolling up a majority
of 356 in the Democratic landslide
'which carried John A. Dix into the
governor's chair. One of the stories
still told of Mr. Roosevelt's first cam
paign by local politicians Is that he
corralled the farmer vote by running
on a platform which advocated uni
form apple barrels.
Mr. Roosevelt was reelected in 1912,
but resigned his seat on March 17,
1913, to accept the appointment as as
sistant secretary of the navy. His
most famous exploit in the state sen
ate was his leadership of the insur
gents who opposed the election of
William F. Sheehan to the United
States senate.
After three months' deadlock James
A. O'Gorman was elected with Mr.
Roosevelt's concurrence.
Since Mr. Roosevelt's appointment
to the navy department he has spent
most of his timc In Washington, re
turning during the sumtmer months
and on holiday trips to visit his moth.

writes: "Ziron Iron Tonic has made good
in my family. I have used it to a very
great advantage to myself and my 14
year-old boy. It did us both good. I
think it is a good medicine for what It is
recommended."
If you are pale, weak, tired, feel down
and out, take Ziron. It will put Iron into
your blood, and should help build you up.

To my Friends in Laurens County:
I am in the race for the United States Senate.
I have been so husy carrying facts to people of
other parts of the state where I am not known
that I have not had an opportunity to discuss
pclitical matters with my friends at home.
Next Friday, July 16 will be the only oppor
tunity I will have to meet my friends in Lau
rens County t o discuss their interests with
them.
I have with me startling facts as to how a
set of Railroad lawyers and politicians are con
spiring to get laws that will so tie up our mar
kets as to enable them to stand between pro
ducer and consumers and rob both with their
purpose of reducing our people to a scanty
starvation living.
