I meeting o: tne repunncan national
"1. Turning of the cabinet room of
the White house into a battle ground
for a conflict between two factions of
the party over the selection of the
chairman of the committee on ar
rangements for the next convention,
with the president of the United
States as an unsuccessful umpire.
"2. An open declaration of war by
the anti-Taft men against his renom
ination on the ground that he cannot
be elected.
"3. The abandonment of the 'pro
gressive' and 'new nationalist' issues
in the fight against the president and
the resort to the old-time methods for
factional supremacy.
"4. The discarding of the boom for
Senator Robert Marion La Follette of
Wisconsin and the raising of the
standar dof Theodore Roosevelt by
party chieftains who have been pub
licly branded by him as reactionaries
and stand-patters.
"5. The official declarations . of
chairmen of the republican state com
mittees of two states that Mr. Taft
can not be re-elected if present con
ditions continue through the coming
campaign.
"6. The apparent inability of Pres
ident Taft to prevent an open breach
in his party as a result nf the aggres
sive attitude of his adversaries who
have assumed command of the move
ment to bring about the nomination of
Col. Roosevelt in order to prevent his
own."

A GIRL'S WILD MIDNIGHT RIDE
GREATEST EVENTS OF 1911.
To warn people of a fearful forest
fire in the Catskills a young girl rode
horseback at midnight and saved
many lives. Her deed was glorious,
but lives are often saved by Dr.
King's Xew Discovery in curing lung
trouble, coughs and colds, which
might have ended in consumption ot
pneuomnia. "It cured me of a dread
ful cough and lung disease," writes
W. R. Patterson, Wellington, Tex.,
"after four in our family had died
with consumption, and I gained 87
pounds." Nothing, so sure and safe
for all throat and lung troubles. Price
50c and $1.00. Trial bottle free. Guar
anteed by Fred Dawson.

THE REAL CITIZEN
"WORTH WHILE."
The man who is "too busy"
to lend a little help in the
community's common cause is
too busy to measure high ill
the community stature.
The man who is so poor he
"can't afford" to support a well-
founded, successful, result-pro-
ducing community movement,
is indeed so poor that he is on
the debit side of the comnnm-
ity ledger.
The man who counts for
something in the community
is the man who does something
for the community, anu he is
the same man who gets back
from the community the fullest
measure of return.
If you are not yet "a real
citizen worth while," join the
Commercial Club at once, and
thus assist the other live wire
citizens of Albany in carrying
on the public woik of our citv.

A big anti-saloon victory has been
pained in Iowa in the decision on the
Moon law, which limits the number of
saloons to one in one thousand. This
will reduce the number of saloons in
the state to 301. In Davenport they
will drop from 139 to 43, as an ex
ample. In five years the number of
saloons, under local option, has been
reduced from 3000 to 795, which will
now drop to 301. Out of 830 incor
porated towns and cities in the state
706 are now without saloons. Four
teen large saloon cities are in the dry
column.
