complaints among people living in the
Southeastern States, can be effectively relieved

physician, and has behind it thousands of
testimonials from many prominent South
Carolinians and citizens of other neighboring
states. R. L. T. is a wonderful corrector
of liver troubles and the greatest
tonic on the market today. You can absolutely
re!.v on it in any case of chills and
fever or malarial jKiison, constipation or
biliousness.
If any member of your family u^ed a
tonic that strengthens and builds, go to
your druggist today and get a fifty-cent or
a dollar bottle of it. L. T., and watch the
quick, steady impn "ement. If your druggist
can't supply you write It. L. T. Co.,

REPUBLICAN HOPE
RESTSJN WILSON
Gov. Burke Declares for Democrat
and Gives His Reasons. ^
By JOHN BURKE, j
Governor of North Dakota.
The election of Governor Wilson b*
the only thing that can save the Republican
party. Four years of President
Taft has split it In two. Wa
have no reason to believe that he will
be any different or that his second administration,
If he Is re-elected, win
be any more satisfactory to the people
than his first His re-election will
mean the division of the Republican
party Into many warring faction*
which can only result in final dlssotetioo
of all- /
The end will come quicker and Just
as certain if Roosevelt Is elected, for
he Is no longer a Republican, but i>
the leader of a new party, at war with
the Republican party, as it Is with the
Democratic party. On the other band,
if Wilson Is elected the Roosevelt par
ty will perish; the Republicans will
reorganise their party, purge it of the
baneful Influence of corporate power
and greed and make it again the
grand old party it was In the days of
j Lincoln.
Louis D. Brandels performed a real
public service when he quoted the records
to show that George W. Perkins
i is and always baa been an enemy si
