base ball world.
Ho wiild: "My sympathies are all

allowed to continue along tho Hues
which have prevailed during tho pn.st

short time until nil interest In the great
sport would have been killed,
"I believe that public interest will
be stimulated by the conflict now on
between tho National aud American
Leagues, and that tlio new conditions
Will result In greater rivalry and con
sequent partisanship so essential to
luiMtaln thn base ball Interest and ou
'thuslasra. "The American League, whllo it is
Hiniihir to (lie old Hrotherhood, in some
rcspeuls, is being mauuged by s)tiser

anticipate that tho American will win

of syndicate base ball. They long for
the good old dayH when the heit team
won the peiiunt. '1hat waj before the
days of the hcramblo for the almighty

"I believe tliat Akron would Mip
IMirt tlm right kind uf a team. It is
loo largo for tlio Stato League, but If
It. was placed In a good association
and had a winning club llwould pay
its way out. Conditions have changed
since this city had a professional base

it 'up Akron could be mnde a winner."

COLDS
The quickest , relief, for a
cold, is by Scott's emulsion of
cod-liver oil.
We all have colds , you can
try it and see. You will find
the edge taken off in a night ;
and, in three or four days,
you'll be wondering whether
that cold amounted to any
thing anyhow.
That's relief. If you tackle
it quick, the relief is quick and
complete, if you wait till the
cold is in full possession of
head and lung, why, of course,
the relief is quick if it comes in
a week.
A little emulsion won't clear
and restore your whole breathing-machine
in a minute; don't
be looking for miracles.

LAST
Meeting of Repub

Into the Kanks
Whole and Distinct Ob
ject of Meeting.
Doyle's Speech Began on One
Line and Ended on Another.
Republicans held their last meeting
of the campaign, at their headquarters
In the Walsh block Friday evening. It
was wholly and distinctly a partisan
meeting, held for the purpose of infus
ing enthusiasm into tho ranks, and de
scribing tho seriousness of. the situa
tion. Tho w'hole plea was for Repub
licans not to desert the party on this
occasion, und to do their best to get out
tho voto. Tho meeting was well plan
ned. Its drawing caul, ns Chairman
Rowley admitted, was Congressman
Dick, and the Committee, "wise in its
own w'lsdora," had the program so ar
ranged that Congressman l")lck was tho
last speaker. This, it was figured,

Doylo explained bis platform, no of
fers no relief to the tlnanelal strln.
geney of municipal affairs, that Mr.
Isbell has not advocated for the past
two years, and which his platform
covers In a thorough, practical manner.
He concluded his speech by saying: "In
the past we have fought for the Re
publican party, we are lighting for
the Republican lwirty now, and in the
future wo shall fight for the Republi
can purty." Prof. S. P. Orth t .liked
along the Hue or the duty of citizens
toward municipal government. Con
gressman Dick told of the effects
municipal elections had upon national
politics.
.Mr. J. W. Patterson, night police at

a very bad eold on my lungs, and used
half dozen different cough medicines
and prescriptions from two doctors,
but grow worse all tho time. I linally
bought a bottle of Foley's Honey ami
Tar und after using two-thirds of It,
