Representative William W. Rucker
of Missouri. author of the presidential
primary bill recently introduced into
congress, is chairman of the house
committee on election of president,
vice president and representatives in
congress. In his message to congress
on the subject President Wilson said:
“I urge the prompt enactment of legis
lation which will provide for primary
elections throughout the country at
which the voters of the several parties
may choose their nominees' for the
presidency without the intervention of
nominating conventions. I venture the
suggestion that this legislation should
provide for the retention of party con
ventions, but only for the purpose of
declaring and accepting the verdict of
the primaries and formulating the
platforms.” Mr. Rucker's bill is based
on the president's suggestions.
A native of Virginia, Congressman
Rucker’s boyhood was spent in West
Virginia, to which state his parents
had moved on the breaking out of the
civil war. At the age of eighteen he
went to Chariton county, Mo., took up
the study of law and was admitted to
the bar. In 18SG he was elected prose
cuting attorney of Chariton county,
holding that office until 1892, when he
was chosen circuit judge. In 1898 he
was elected to the Fifty-sixth congress
and has since been regularly returned.
Director of the Mint.
George Evan Roberts of Fort
Dodge. la., who has been mentioned as
a possible member of the federal re
serve board, was appointed director of
the mint in 1898 and is famous as the
author of several books on financial
and economic questions. He first won
attention in the monetary world with
his book. “Coin at School In Finance,”
written in answer to “Coin” Harvey’s
arguments. This was during the mem
orable free silver campaign in 1890.
In 1907 Mr. Roberts resigned as direc- i
tor of the mint to become president

of the Commercial National bank of
Chicago. In 1910 he was reappointed
to his present position.
Mr. Roberts is a native of lowa,
fifty-seven years of age, and began his
business career as a printer's appren
tice. In a few years he became owner
of the Fort Dodge Messenger. He
owns it yet in partnership with his
brother. He retains his interest in his
paper as a matter of sentiment, he
said recently. Mr. Roberts is of W elsh
descent. His father was a potter and
emigrated from New York to lowa,
sailing down the Atlantic coast into
the gulf of Mexico and thence up the
Mississippi. Director Roberts has
never been active in politics in the
\ sense of office seeking, although he
was state printer of lowa in 1882. As
an editor, however, he wielded a large
influence in political affairs of the state
of lowa.

QUITE UNLIKE ORDINARY CLAY
There Was a Reason Why Seepage
From Cemetery Did Not Hurt
Philadelphians.
The late Eugene Field while on
one of his lecturing tours entered
Philadelphia. There was some delay
m the bridge over the Schuylkill
river, and the humorist's attention
was attracted by the turbid, eoffee
colored stream flowing underneath,
lie asked the colored porter: “Don’t
you people get your drinking water
from this stream?’’
“Yassir! Ain’t got no yuther
place to git it from, ’cept th’ Dela
weah. Yas-sir!”
“I should think,” said the humor
ist. “that you would be afraid to
drink such water; especially as the
seepage from that cemetery I see
on the hill must drain directly into
the river and pollute it.”
“I reckon yo’ all doan’ know Phil
adelphy ve’y well, sah, aw you’d
know dat’s Lau’el Hill cemetery!”
said the son of Ham.
“Well, what of that?” asked Field.

SUCCESSFUL TRAP FOR PESTS
New Invention Said to Lure Mosqui
toes to Their Doom in Manner
Highly Desirable.
Some one has invented a night
trap for mosquitoes which, according
to Chambers’ Journal, has proved
successful under exacting tests.
The contrivance depends on the
use of the luminous paint that Dr.
Balmain invented some years ago.
In this paint there is no phosphor
ous. The mosquito trap is a short
glass cylinder, about six inches in
length and one inch in diameter.
The interior surface of it is coated
with Balmain compound, and the
ends are sealed. On the outer sur
face of the glass there is a coat of
adhesive substance like that on or
dinary fly and the tube hangs
by a string in any convenient place.
Exposure to daylight causes the
Balmain paint to collect and store up
sunlight, which it throws off at
night. The faint, steady glow at
tracts the insects, and as there is no
heat about the light the mosquitoes
settle upon the glass and are caught
by the adhesive.
When it is necessary to clean the
trap you take a piece of wood —a
match will do—and scrape off the in
sects and then apply a fresh coating
of the adhesive.
WATER HAUL.
“Good morning, ma’am. May I
ask if your husband is at home ?”
“He isn’t.”
“Perhaps you can tell me what I
want to know. Is he carrying any
life insurance?”
“Is his life insured ? Is that what
you mean?”
“Yes, ma’am.”
“It is, sir. But don’t make the
mistake of thinking he’s doing the
carrying of the same. I’m doing that
myself. And I’m carrying all he’s
worth. Good morning, sir.”

J. Randolph Anderson, of Savannah, Candidate for Governor.
Since announcing his candidacy for
governor, J. Randolph Anderson of Sa
vannah, has received the most encour
aging assurances of support from prac
tically every section of the state.
Mr. Anderson’s candidacy has met
with enthusiastic reception in North
Georgia, where he has a farm at Ma
rietta, upon which he spends much of
his time, as well as in the Southern
section where he lives. If early indi
cations in the campaign mean any
thing, Mr. Anderson already seems to
be running a winning race.
Many of the newspapers of the state
are already actively supporting him
and others have volunteered to do so.
MR. ANDERSON’S
ANNOUNCEMENT.
In his formal announcement- of his
candidacy for governor, Mr. Anderson
says:
“Savannah, Ga., April 15, 1914.
“To the People of Georgia:
“I beg leave to announce myself as
a candidate for the Governorship,
subject to the regulations of the next
general primary.
"In asking to be entrusted with what
I consider to be the highest honor in
the gift of our people, I am glad to
feel that my candidacy involves no
factional issues and should arouse no
factional spirit. The spirit of fac
tionalism has happily about died
away in Georgia, and in the state, as
in the nation, we Democrats are lined
up with practically unbroken ranks in
support of the great measures our
party is taking for the common good.
I am able therefore to come before you
simply as a Georgian and a Democrat,
who aspires to devote his best ener
gies and talents to the welfare, and
upbuilding of his native state.
“Our material growth during the
past three decades has been so rapid
and so great that in some respects
we have outgrown the provisions
made by our laws, and in conse
quence the state and its institutions
are in some directions being ham
pered and held back. Georgia’s great
need today is that her people should
have a period of political rest in
which to have the time and oppor
tunity to concentrate their attention
and efforts upon a thorough over
hauling and readjustment of her busi
ness methods and system. We need
to apply ourselves for a time to put
ting our house and affairs in order,

SEES AN END OF
POLITICAL STRIFE.
“We have had a surfeit of political
strife. Let us now for a while de
vote ourselves to measures for
bringing the sunshine of prosperity
to all the various business activities
of the state and into the homes and
lives of her individual citizens. I
will endeavor to invite your atten
tion to these matters more in detail
during the progress of the campaign.
My long service in the house and
senate, since 1905, has made me famil
iar with the affairs and needs of the
state and has qualified me to be of
service to you as Governor.
“Circumstances have arisen under
which, by operation of law, the duty
may be devolved upon me of serving
as Acting Governor for some part of
the current term. This would re-,
quire me to leave my home and sur-'
render my profession and all business
connections. Such a contingency nat
urally prompts me to seek election
for the next regular term and give
me, I trust, some personal claim t
ask for it, so that I may at least H |
allowed to remain in office long enoug I
to be given a fair trial both as to nj j
desire and as to my ability to ser* «
you well.
PROHIBITION QUESTION I
ALREADY SETTLED.
“Some inquiry has been made as to
how far the prohibition question may
be involved in my candidacy. I wish
to state that it is not involved at all.
Prohibition should no longer be con
sidered a political issue in Georgia. It
has become a matter of established
law, and I think most of the prohibi
tion leaders now agree that the law is
sufficient and that continued political
agitation of the subject is no longer
needed, and would be unwise. No sub
stantial demand exists anywhere in
Georgia for its repeal, and It should
be regarded as an issue that Is now
settled and behind us.
“If I am elected, it will be my duty
to regard and treat the prohibition
law as one of the settled, established
laws of the state, and in this, as in
all other matters, I will try to die
charge my duty faithfully, fearlessly
and fully.

she was very

great pain. Was unable to get any
thing to help her. She was growing
weaker and weaker. She became
tired of life.
Somebody suggested that she write
to the Peruna Co. She did so.
Through their advice she began to
use Peruna. In a letter from her at
this time she says: “Through the
use of Peruna I have regained my
health. I took only a bottle and a
half when I was able to sleep and
eat again and my nervousness disap
peared.” No wonder Mrs. Mueller
keeps Peruna in the house. Under
similar circumstances Peruna would

Any one taking Peruna ought to
have a free copy of the “Ills of Life.”
