BILLY MASON still insists that he will be re-elected to the senate. William always was quite a joker. THE McHenry County Republican has enlisted in the cause of the people. No doubt--about seven people. WHEN did V. S. Lumley discover that it was the "ring" and not the peo­ ple that turned him down two years ago? ^ THE PLAINDEALER is accused of be­ ing an arm of a "ring." The only "ring'" we recognize is the majority of the voters. FRED B. WHITNEY has sold the Wau- kegan Gazette to W. L. Farmer and Frank M. West, both of whom have been employed on the paper for several years. / EL D. SHURTLEFF, representative from rtifa district, is mentioned as a compromise candidate for speaker of the Illinois house of representatives. Mr. Shurtleff is able to fill the position and The Plaindealer would be pleased to have him wield the gavel. YourHair "Two years ago my hair wts falling out badly.

DURING the deer hunting season in Wisconsin last year there were on an average two men shot each day. The fatalities this year bid fair to be nearly as numerous, judging from the reports which are now coming in. When a novice with alonr-range rifle goes hunt­ ing he should be given an entire town- shipjall to himself. THOSE REFORMERS. Those great and good men who pur­ chased the McHenry County Democrat and made of it a mud slinging organ.de. voted to the interests of sorehead politi. cians, bolters and anything but Bound Republicanism, have struck a snag, in the shape of public opinion, and they will eventually be wallowing in the mire of their own concoction. In an editor­ ial which appeared in The Plaindealer some weeks ago I made the statemen t that the syndicate of lawyers in ques­ tion would probably be called a "square ring." They, however, objected to the term and proceeded to expose the poli­ cies of The Plaindealer, and, it might be added, that they made a dismal failure in the attempt, there being nothing to expose Eyery reader of this paper knows that it stands for Republicanism first, last and all the time. Never has there appeared in its columns any arti cle which would teud to tear down the powerful Republican organization which exists in the state. Can the Re­ publican say as much? I think not. The Republican talks of the "ring" as ruling the county politics. What they are pleased to call a "ring" is a body of brainy men banded together for the pur­ pose of strengthening Republicanism. Is there any law to prevent a man an- nouncingjhis candidacy for office? Can the "ring" prevent any one from getting his name before a convention ? In case of a caucus being held for the purpose of selecting delegates to the county con­ vention, can a "ring" select the dele­ gates and give them instructions? Ma­ jority usually rules in such cases--the people usually decide the question. The trouble is that C. P. Barnes and V. S. Lumley have been on the minority side of late, hence the cry of "ring.""'For some time they had been throwing mud over John Dufield's shoulder, but now they are "reforming" the majority on a large scale. It may be well to state that the reformation in McHenry county politics will never be complete until the owners of the McHenryCounty Republi­ can ?) can write their names like this: V. S. Lumley, member legislature; O. H. Gillmore, circuit jadge; James F. Casey, county judge; Frank it. Jack- man, master in-chancery; D. R. Joslyn, state's attorney; C. A. Lemmers, P. M. Tet this bunch of "reformers" think that they can cram their political slush down the throats of the intelligent people of this county. After slandering a straight Republican nominee and cham­ pioning a Democrat throngh the col­ umns of a Democratic paper one of these men would ask the true Republic­ ans to rally to his standard, the color of which even C. P. Barnes himself is not certain. It may ke Prohibition today and Democratic or Republican tomor- Women as Well as Men Are Made Miserable by I" Kidney Trouble*' \ Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dis­ courages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor and cheerfulness soon disappear when the kid­ neys are out of order or diseased. Kidney trouble has become so prevalent that it is not uncommon for a child to be born afflicted with weak kid­ neys. If the child urin­ ates too often, if the urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child reaches an age when it should be able to control the passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wetting, depend upon it. the cause of the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose. Women as well as men are made mis­ erable with kidney and bladder trouble, and both need the same great remedy. The mild and the immediate effect of Swamp«Root is soon realized.

It all depends on the direction of the wind. The Republican asks "Do the readers of The Plaindealer favor the kind of politics that is being administered by the Woodstock uiachine politicians, or do they favor tfiviug the Republican voters a right to have a say and a voice in naming the nominees for county of­ fices? Speak up, Mr. Editor, and let us know where your paper stands on this question." In commenting on the arti­ cle regarding the "square ring" the "reform" sheet says, "It is safe to as- su me that the item quoted was written or inspired by a person who either be­ longs to or is in sympathy with the po­ litical ring of this city, which has al­ ways claimed to hold a mortgage on every Republican caucuB held in Mc­ Henry county." The article in question was written by the editor, and it expressed the sen­ timents of some of the best Republicans in McHenry, who are aware of the am­ bitions of C. P. Barnes, V. S. Lumley, et al. Since I took charge of The Plain- dealer, sixteen months ago, up to the time of this writing I have never re­ ceived any suggestions, commands, words of approval or reprimand regard­ ing my attitude in county politics, a fact which puts to flight the idea tnat The Plaindealer is "owned body and soul by a ' ring.' " I know not what kind of politics the readers of The Plaindealer favor. Many of them are Democrats and their rights and beliefs as such are respected. Many are Re­ publicans and their rights as such in we have on our floor for the cdming season. They represent the best manufacturers in the world-- THE PENINSULAR, THE JEWEL, THE ACORN, THE RIVERSIDE, THE ELMHERST and THE QUICK MEAL,.

A care­ ful scrutiny of The Plaindealer files will not reveal one anti-convention sugges­ tion that would tend to mould public opinion for the benefit of any few men. It is a Republican paper and as such stands ready to defend the Republican ticket as nominated by caucus-appoint­ ed delegates in convention assembled. Two years ago, at the time V. S. Lumley had discovered that the voters of the county did not favor his re-nomi­ nation as state's attorney, he called at The Plaindealer office and made this re­ mark: "If the PEOPLE don't want me, lam ready to step down and out." Since that time he has discovered that the PEOPLE constitute the "ring" which cut shoit his political career. Queer, is'nt it? WOODSTOCK.
