TAFT'S STRENGTH
DEPEND SON FRAUD
Colonel Charges Administration
With Seeking to Profit
by Wrong-Doing.
ONE ATTITUDE GRIMLY COMIC
That Is Throwing Away of Evil
Instruments When They
Fail to Deliver.
Omaha. Neb., April 17.?"It is not
anything to use evil Instrumenta in
onler to do dirty work," snl<j' Coionel I
Jtoosevtlt In a:i attack to-night in a
speech at the auditorium upon sup-1
porters of the Taft administration, "it
is an even loss nice thing to throw
the evil Instrument*, aside when they '
are broken and loudly innige believe I
?.hat they are nut Intentionally used." i
Colonel Roosevelt charged that the'
President's managers, "with the help- j
let.- acquiescence of Air. Taft," were:
r?l> Ihg solely upon the support of tho |
"bosses," who stand "tor what Is :
worst in our political life.''
"There Is not one Stato out of ten 1
In Which Mr. Taft would havo uny I
chance if th/ vote were left to the)
people thotn#elves," he asserted.
Later on he- said: "Outside of tho.
delegates that represent either the- !
unscrupulous use of patronage or else j
tint: traud, Mr. Tuft's strength would,
be trivial and indeed negligible In the |
prescht contest.
"To profit by wrongdoing." he added, j
"Is mighty little better than actually'
to do wrong, and the administration
Is seeking to prellt by this wrong - I
doing."
In bis address to-night Colonel I
r.oosevelt said that Senator Lotimerj
a:;d Senator Penrose recognize In Mr. |
Taft "tho kind of a progressive whom]
they arc willing to clasp to their;
hearts."
Colonel Hoosevr-lt said the Taft 1
delegates in Southern States, repre?
sented "nothing whatovcr but the Ked-1
eral officeholders, and they have not]
oven the shadow of n party behind '
them. Yet it Is upon these State? und
upen the absolute swindling in States
like: Michigan, Colorado, luUltuta and
Kentucky und In the oily of New York
;thnt Mr. Taft'a whole strength rest:;.
"There la one fcaturo of the attitude
of the administration toward the ,
bosses which Is grimly comic. When a ,
boss delivers a State to tho Taft side. |
then no matter how outrageous his
conduct, no matter how gross the'
fraud and the violence by which hu'
has succeeded the administration has
not a wor<j of condemnation to utter.
But when the boss fails the spokesmen
of the administration malte nervous
liastc to repudiate the very man
ngiilnstwhom they have hnd not one
word to say whllo they hoped he was
successful."

markable new tonic.
"I have not enjoyed good health for
some time," continued Mr. Palmore. "I
Buffered with nervousness, stomach trou?
ble and general run down condition. I
slept poorly and my sleep did ms little
good. I would awaken in the morning as
tired and worn out as when I retired. My
appetite was poor; I could scarcely cat
anything without Buffering great distress
afterwards. 1 felt dull and languid most
of the time.
VI finally heard of the new tonic. 'Tona
Vita,' and decided to give it a trial. The
first dose benefited me, and every day I
have become stronger and better. I am
no longer bothered with stomach trouble,
and ran eat and bleep well. 1 have now
taken two bottles of the tonic with excel?
lent results. 1 feel like a new man, and
highly recommend 'Tona Vita.' "
Hundreds of men and women in cities
such as Richmond are suffering with the
same run down, listless, depressed con?
dition, which is produced by overwrought
nerves, ati overworked brain and an over?
worked stomach, say the specialists who
are introducing "Tona Vita." "There is
something behind all this, however," con?
tinued those specialists, "and it is not It -
1 ing other than the strain of modern city
life and an artificial environment. Every
day of their lives these people are exceed?
ing nature's limitations, and tlu-y go care?
lessly along, neglecting to take time to
I even rcali/o the serious results until it is
too late and debility has set in in its most
aggravated form. Nervousness, sleepless?
ness, imperfect digestion, stomach and
bowel troubles, poor < imitation, cold feet,
listlcssness, loss of energy and ambition
and depression arc characteristic symp?
toms of this trouble, which will be qua kiy
and permanently removed by our prcpara
j lion.

One of the, specialists said in reference
to net vous dcbilitj: " The hustle and worry
and unnatural lile o( city dwellers is loo
much of a strain on tlit: constitution of
most people, and nervous debility i- the
result. This malady is not thoroughly
understood by American people as yet,
but it is a very common complaint, and is
usually referred to as 'run down.' VVhen
a man or woman doi-sn t know exactly
what i-, the matter, but sa> s, '1 am all
run down,' that means they have nervous
debility. 'Tona Vita' i- a certain relief
from this tioublc, and will act on the
mind as well as on the bod\. Any person
afflicted with nervous debility is sure to
be nervous, moody anil depressed; It i =
remarkable to see how quickly the spirit*
arid disposition improve after a few du\s"
treatment We have many caller.- here

spirit* when they hrjt came to fee u->
that they1 had no hope of ever being well,

It actually is hard to recognize some bl
