March T. (Special.) Bearing 34Ji nmes. in sharp contrast to the IZi names on the petition for Theo.l"re Roosevelt, the petitions for William Howard Taft for President of the t"nltd States were Med with the Secretary of State today. C. IC Wil liams, of the Taft campaign committee, filed the petitions In person. The names have not leen checked over by the office of the Seeretnry of Stte as yet. but the list prepared by Mr. Williams shows a tot! of S4 names In nine counties. only 1000 n.tmra are required. The list shows the following number of signers In the reupcetlve counties: Marlon. :: Baker. Ill: IoueUs. 141: Linn. JK: fmatilla. SiJ: Wasco. 101: Washington. 0: I'nion. :5. and Mult- nomah. 2 0 7 -j. Taft Petltloaa Mtari Ullliagly. One of the signal features of these Taft petitions Is the case with which the names were obtained. As an In stance, in Marlon County, not a name was signed but by a voluntary signer who hunted up the petitions and affiled his signature thereto, with the possible etreptlon of a few names In the outly ing country precincts, where petitions were sent tor signatures. In Salem, horn-ever, every name attached was done so bv a person who sought the petitions, rather than by those who were unuhl by petition peddlers. Several other completed petitions mere received today. Notably among them were W. C. Hawley. candidate for Representative in Congress from the. First Iltrlt: A. W. LaAVrty. candi date for representative In Congress from the Third Imlrlct. and N. J. Sinnott. candidate for Representative In Congrees from the Second District, fields Kile t aadldaey. Pei Uratlon of candidacy was filed by Fred K. Gettlns. of Marshueld. who w-ishes to a;o to the upper house of the Legislature as Senator from Coos and Curry counties. He la a Republican and subscribes to Statement No. 1. John T. Long filed Ms declaration as can didate for Prosecuting Attorney on the r-emocratlc ticket from Coos. Curry and Douglas counties. Several peculiar aspects of the pres ent rsmpalgn have developed this early before the primaries. There are now 121 candidates In the running who will have their names on the ballot at the primary nominating election as against 104 candidates In 110. In 1M0 It was the big year for election of etite oftlcers. but the rtu ' mernuft candidates tor delegates to Na tional conventions tins swelled the list In I-Mi. And. In addition to the fad tliat there are so far 27 more candidates in the Held than were In the Held alto gether In 1I0. there are still IS days' leeway before the chances for obtain ing a place on the ballot will be gone. Paaapble J"par f'oe Beaxlaa. Itrgardlesa of the great- number of caiMlldates who have tiled there seems every probability that there will be but very few who will have places in the rorrupt practices aft pamphlets. There seems to be a misunderstanding on the part of some of the candidates as to )ut the procedure required to get space. The law provides that March of this year shall be the last day on which randidates ran rile their completed peti tions If they tleslre space In the pam phlets. Those m ho do not desire space have until March J to file the com pleted petitions. Some of the randidates seem to be t.ibonng under the Impression, how ever, that space will be allowed when thev simply nie their original declara tion, and as a result several of them have already sent In their reading mat ter for the pamphlet w-hen their, com pleted petitions have not been ' filed, and If thev are not filed by close of businrss Saturday, they will find that tbelr compositions and pictures will not he given space in the publicity book lets.

In no disease does the blood become thin so rapidly as in rheumatism. Not only does it become thin but it is loaded with impuritiesthe rheumatic poisons. Without proper Ireatment th-?se poisons increase, the inflamed joints swell and the patient becomes a e-ripple. There are a number of methods of treating rheumatism,, most of them aiming: to keep down the rheumatic poisons until nature can build up the blood sufficiently to overcome them. But unfavorable conditions of cold or dampness may tive the disease the advantage and a relapse or renewed ittack follows. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Teople build up the blood and enable it to east out the rheumatic poisons with the natural secretions of the body. That hundreds have tried this treatment with pood results is shown by the large an 1 increasing number of cures reported. That every sufferer who does not try Dr. Williams' Pinkv Pills is neglecting the most hopeful means of recovery is shown by the following statement : Mrs l,ouifS Jones, of No. 1210 Manfteld street. Winfield. Kansas, trive the. followins: Ftatement of her cure by Dr. Williams' rink Pills: I first noticed the rheumatism when I hecan to have severe pains and Inflammation In the fintcers of my rltrht hand. The pains soon extended over mv entire body. My llmhs were swollen- and the Joints were inflamed. I could not ste.p on my feet for six months and had to walk with crutches.

My stomach was disordered, everything I ate turned sour and (tas formed on my stomach. I suffered a -treat deal from nervous headache. The doctors did not do more than Rive me temporary relie-f and it was not until I tried Dr. Williams' Pink Tills that I was cured. I had not take-n the pills many days when I could rjt they were helping ma. I took several boxes and have never been troubled with the rheumatism since.
