terson's Unexpired Term.
Governor Glenn yesterday appointed
Major William A. Graham, of Mach

ot Agriculture, to fill the unexpired
term of Hon. S. L. Patterson.deceased.
Major Graham is the Democratic nom
inee for Commissioner of Agriculture
and his appointment was expected.
"When I was younger I used to look
forward with keen interest to presi
dential campaigns, "said an old Demo
crat, "But now if I had my way all
our elections, especially national elec
tions, would bo farther apart.
"With a presidential election every
four years wo hardly have a good
breathing spell between times. Po
litieal campaigns are disturbing alike
to business and to college work. Col
lege boys, although they are not vot
ers, get so wrought up over a presi
dential contest that they do not study
well, and as for the business world, six
months before election day no one is
willing to consider new investments
or new business propositions of any
kind. Business men say, 'Wait un
til after the election.' But as the pres
idential contest has only a few weeks
more to run, we will soon be ready to
Start on a new era of prosperity."

"Upon the recommendation of per
sonal friends and many strong testi
monials as to the efficacy of Peruna in
the treatment of tb numerous symp
toms of the la sgrlppe with which I hare
been afflicted for four months past, I
have been induced to undergo a treat
ment with Una justly celebrated for

"My nnmerAua friends in Texas, where

had for nearly thirty years been afflicted
with kidney troubles.
Within a short period he has been per
suaded to try Peruna, and his present
healthy condition is attributed to his
judicious use of that great remedy
Washington climate is notoriously bad
for kidney and liver troubles, yet by a
judicious use of the remedy he is now
quite cured and in excellent physical
condition.
This brief statement of facts, without
