HOT SPRINGS. Vt. Aug. 17. Discus sing, today, the character of speeches he is to make during the campaign. Mr. Taft said he believed he had placed himself on record In the speeches he has already made on every question likely to become important in the cam paign. 'But." he added, "that will not. I take it, preclude me from taking up any subject and enlarging upon it in the speeches I shall make to the vari ous delegations .who may come to Cin cinnati during the campaign. My sub jects will be chosen with pal tlcular reference to rhe interest and character of the pa-tlcular delegation to which I shall speak. In this way it is possible that I shall review many of the impor tant and minor Issues, but I have. laid out no set plan for taking up in any particular order, any question or et of questions." Organize College Clubs. There was a conference today be tween John Hays Hammond and Her bert M. Myers, a Columbus. Ohio, at torney, who is president of the Ohio Republican College League, which Is affiliated with the National Republican College League. A general plan of co operation was discussed. "It Is our Intention." said Mr. Myers, "to organise Republican clubs In every college and university in the country. We expect to reach 25. 000 first voters in the course of the campaign." The speech he is to make to the Vir ginia Republicans who are coming here Friday was the engrossing subject with William H. Taft today. The address ' is to be the first political utterance of the candidate since his speech of ac ceptance, and will be the only sjpeeeh of its character he- will make until his campaign opens in Cincinnati the first week In September. Good Wishes From Cervera. Although It is quite common for Mr. Taft to receive letters from the Phil ippine Islands expressing a desire for his political success, he was somewhat surprised today to receive one written by Admiral Cervera. of Spanish war fame, expressing the same sentiment. The letter was written to Charles D. McGuffey, of Chattanooga. Tenn., and by him forwarded to Mr. Taft. In It the Admiral says: "I pray for the election of Senor Taft for President. I should have written you a letter, but have not had time. I know very little personally about the United States and cannot, for that rea son, give an opinion of ray own con cerning the election. But there is no doubt, from what I hear, about bis se lection because he is a very distin guished man." KEEP BORAH BUSY OX STUMP More Valuable Than In Office. Gathering Campaign Funds. CHICAGO. Aug. 17. The Republican speaking campaign in the West will not be opened until about September 15. That date was -agreed upon today at a conference of political leaders with Chairman- Frank H. Hitchcock. The organization of the Eastern speak' ers' bureau cannot be effected by Mr. Hitchcock until he comes West again, in about 10 days. It has been expect ed that Senator W. E. Borah, of Idaho, would assume the direction of the bu reau, but the announcement was made today that there had been such a de mand for -him to speak In- all parts of the country that it had been de cided he was too good an asset for speaking purposes to admit of his being tied down to organization work. Under the original plan Mr. Borah was to. have. office In Chicago and undertake to block out the Western country into, areas and - shape the speaking policies for each section ac cording to the issues therein, while General : T. ' Coleman Dupont, of Dela ware, who has his offices at the New Tork headquarters, would look after the machinery of the bureau. Mc Borah Is) to aak several speeches in the early campaigns in Eastern states, but has agreed to re main here for a time and get .the speakers' bureau organized for the West. He will be assisted in this work by Colonel Cecil A. Lyon, of Texas. A director for the work will be named later. Rev. Dr. John Wesley Hill, of New Terk. who will open the speaking campaign in Vermont, left for the East today. A plan for the gathering of cam paign funds In the various- states was formulated today. The National com mitteeman In. each state will be au thorized to select a treasurer for his state who will be a. financial agent. This agent Is to solicit and .collect con tributions, which are to be turned over to Mr. Sheldon, the National treasurer, or Mr. Upham. the assistant treasurer. The disbursement In the states will be made under the direction of the state chairman. Mr. -Hltchock and several of his as sistants left Chicago this aternoon for Utlca, N. to attend the ceremo nies connected with the notification of Mr. Sherman.

Contributions to the campaign from corporations, or from officers of corporations acting as such, are not being accepted at Re publican, National headquarters, ac cording to a statement made today by Treasurer George R. Sheldon, of the Republican National committee. Mr. Sheldon said that he had returned sev eral contributions to those who made them. In compliance with the Federal law of 1907 governing the matter.

Ellis, who as Attorney-General of Ohio was Instrumental in breaking up the bridge trust and other illegal combinations, will have an opportunity to continue the same work on a larger scale if W. H.

MEAD FOR LOCAL OPTION Washington Governor Stands Firm ly by Party's Platform. ABERDEEN. Wash., Aug. 17. (Special.) Governor Mead came out squarely for local option in a political address In this city tonight. He said in part: I am particularly pleased to have an cp portunlty to address you unde- the aupric ) fco The entire inner portion of our bodies is covered with a soft, delicate lining called mucous membrane; this is kept in healthy condition by the nourishment and vital vigor it receives from the blood. So long as the circulation remains pure this membraie will be healthy, but when the blood becomes infected with catarrhal impurities and poison3 this inner lining ol the body becomes irritated and diseased, and the unpleasant and serious symptoms of Catarrh commence. There is a tight, stuffy feeling in the nose, watery eyes, buzzing noises in the ears, often slight deafness, difficult breathing, etc. The disease cannot be reached by external treatment, though such measures afford temporary relief in some instances. S. S. S. cures Catarrh by cleansing the blood of all impurities and poisons. Then as rich, pure blood circulates through the body, the inflamed, irritated membranes heal, the discharge ceases, headaches are relieved and every symptom disap pears. Catarrh, being a disease in which the entire blood circulation is affected, can only be cured by a remedy that goes to the very bottom and removes every particle of the impurity fromrthe blood, and this is just what S.

I was the first Republican candidate for Gov ernor to declare myself In favor of the plank, and I believe I can say without chance of contradiction that I am the only Republican candidate who has stated his position unequlvocably and without evasion on that question.
