PARTISAN ISSUE

PETITIONS ARE ACCEPTED
"Petty Warfare" on Oorcrnor John

Bran Violated.
SACRAMENTO. Aur. ScretarT of
Stat Jordan at midnight last night ac
cepted both Kern County non-pa rtlan
refercnrfcum petltlona and by so doing
cava both the non-partisan referendum
and the form of ballot referendum a
place lo tha October election. This
was on In spite cf sereraJ lrreo
larltlea and ovtr tha protest of Mar
tla Madsen. esecotle secretary of the
governor, and II. L. Carnahan. commls
alooer of corporations, representing
tha Progressive Interests.
Fein Kern County petitions were In
volved In Irregularities, hot as tha
main non-partUan referendum had suf
ficient signatures without that peti
tion, only tn elanature on tha form
of ballot petition received serious con
sideration. Irr Jtesaedled by Telearaph.
When County Clerk MIMrr forwarded
the latter petition, h niglerled to cer
tify the number or naniea contained
therein and whan tha Secretary of
state's office noticed tha discrepancy,
the error could ba remedied only by
telegraph. Thl was donex but JUdaen
nd Carnahan contended that tha fil
ing by telegraph was Illegal and that
before the petitions were accepted tha
whole matter hould b referred to tha
Attorney-Ceneral. After soma deliber
ation th- Secretary of State refused to
do this anl a.tepted tha petltlona.
-II would b unfair to throw out
this petition and with It the whole
referendum on account of a technical
error and on this broad principle I
am .tn to aocept the Kern County
petition.- declared Jordan.
Warfare Jehaaan Chanted.
Following this action. Carnahan la
sued a statement. In which he charged
Jordan's action waa "a flagrant viola
tion of the constitution." that It
-opened the way to fraud and error."
and that It waa "petty warfare on Gov
ernor Johnson."
"Wnether one or two propositions
are to be voted upon Is unimportant."
the atatement concludes. "Our only ob
jection is to the tactics that have been
pursued."
The legality of the belated Kern
County petition determined the success
of the form of ballot petition by In
creasing the total number of signa
tures to 4.?4. or 6S more than neces
sary. The companion measure waa In
creased 7S from Kern, making the
total 7.JC. a margin of 1(21.

What Internal Bathing Is Doing lor
Humanity
The noted specialists ef the medical
world have recently sounded so universal
s warning against accumulated waste in
the Lower Intestine that . newspapers
throughout the country have taken it up
and published detailed reports oi their re
searches and operation.
The New York Times tells of a case
where a child had what was believed to
be an incurable iorm of Tubercular joint
disease. Waste in the Large Intestine had
ao affected it that all but nine inches were
removed. "The result was astonishing in
a week's time, the internal organs re
sumed all their normal functions, and in a
few weeks the patient was apparently in
perfect health."
Publicity of this kind has so awakened
the public that over three hundred thou
sand are now using Internal Baths to keep
the Lower Intestine free irom this poison
ous wsste. . ....
By means of the "J. B. L. Cascade," the
scientific appliance for Internal Bathing,
Nature is gently assisted in keeping the
Colon absolutely clean with pure warm
water. Constipation, - which leads to so
maay dangerous ailments, is impossible,
and you are kept regular. .
Just try an Internal Bath with the J.
B. L. Cascade" and see how clear, buoyant
and able yoa feel next morning in other
words, it will add SO per cent, to your ef
ficiency and health, just as it has to the
great army who are now using it.
You can see it at the Woodard Clark ft
Co.' Drug Store in Portland, who will
give you on . request Dr. Tyrrell's treatise
on the subject called "Why Man of To-Day

LaTUNITA (Princessas Size)
And this price for an Imported cigar
was not possible until the stars and stripes
were raised over Porto Rico in 1898.
La TUNITA comes in FREE OF DUTY weekly
shipments directly to us to keep them fresh.
Porto Rico is as much a part of the West Indies as
Cuba, and the tobacco grown there was the only tobacco ever
brought to Havana from elsewhere in the old Spanish days.
Its quality is as fine, but admittedly it is mUder, being
grown on the mountain slopes, where the tropical heat is
tempered by cooling winds.
Spanish natives, whose art .3 a family inheritance,
make La TUNITA. Havana does not surpass these
wonderful workmen.
When you get an Imported (Porto Rico)
cigar for 5 cents, (Box of 50, $2.50) as
you get it in La TUNITA, you are on
ground occupied alone by UNITED CIGAR
STORES. It's a ten years' test of one of
our strongest claims.
