THOMAS C. McRAE, Candidate for Governor I'NTRIMIRKSSIVE POLITICS Some of the professional politicians t'hurge that Mellue i- not propressive, but the most downright unprogrossive thing to he witnessed today is the mud slinging match bo’wrrn the two lead ing factions of t>r • te — onal i>ol tieians iu the gubernatorial sweepstakes. Those politicians are not progressive enough to see that the people are sick and tired of these methods. It is quite evident that they are tell ing the truth on each other; the peo ple 1 talk to seem to think so. hut it J all promises nothing. It iv just what we have been seeing : hese many years, I nud all the while conditions have grown steadily worse. 1 earnestly hope and honestly believe that the people are ready to give poli-, tics and politician- a va< dioti. 1! - nr is not the case, if 1 am mistaken about this, then I have made a mis ake in entering thi contest, for 1 cannot match the methods of thost the op position w ho ret) upon the old. o' I game of fooling the people by clap trap of den. gog\ and lie bargaining el' bought up intlueuee. lint I am roiriving daily such en couraging assurances that I am abso lutely confident of the outcome. Sev eral weeks ago I pointed out that 111i-• light between the two factious of pro fessional politicians was merely for control of the poe and power around the -tatehouse, and now they prove it for me, for the mouthpiece of one fac tion charges that the State Highway Commission is plugging tooth and toe mill for the other faction in this race, mid the mouthpiece of the other coun ters beautifully by pointing out that the <inventor of the state, the Auditor of stu e and the Hoard of Control are managing the campaign of the other. Tims each tells the truth— Oil the other fellow. it N the same old sordid, muss-cov ered. non progressive scrap be, ween political fm lions. ! promise the people a business ad ministration, free from donfna'ion ly the politicians, and run in the interest ul t!sose who pay the bills. fill (MAS (M'KAK. STOMACH TROUBLE Mr. Marion Holcomb, of Nancy, Ky., says: “For quite a long while 1 suffered with stomach trouble. 1 would have pains and a heavy feeling after my meals, a most disagreeable taste in my mouth. If I ate anything with butter.oil or grease, I would spit it up. 1 began to have regular sick headache. I had used pills and tablets, but after a course of these. I would be constipated. It just seemed to tear my stomach all up. i found they were no good at all for my trouble. I heard TKEDFORD’S recommended very highly, so began to use it It cured me. 1 keep it in the house all the time. It is the best liver medicine made. 1 do not have sick headache or stomach trouble any more.” Black-Draught acts on the jaded liver and helps it to do its important work of throwing out waste materials and poisons from the sys tem.

HAVE SEA FLAVOR Nautical Expressions Common in Old Nantucket. May Seem Somewhat Odd to the Vis itor, but Are Used by the Natives, Without Thought of Any Incongruity. The widow of a Newburyport sea captain—she had once brought his ship to port herself, when he was incapaci tated by injuries received in a typhoon —was long the Joy of on old-fashioned Ixmrding house whose other residents were chiefly quiet maiden ladies, be cause of her breezy manner, loud voice and oddly nautical turns of expres sion. She would invite a fellow board er across the narrow table to pass the butter In tones suited rather to hail ing the masthead In a gale. Every spring her store of foreign sweet meats, and jams and jellies compound ed of queer tropical fruits, provoked an Irruption of small, red ants, which would emerge in endless proces sion from the crevices in her closet; nnd every spring she would shout aloud at breakfast her Intention to “swab the hull place with He of pen nyr’yal and then calk every dratted crack.” Judge John C. Crosby of the Massa chusetts Supreme court, nn authority on the history and customs of quaint Nantucket, has recently given some Interest!: g instances of the adaptation there of nautical terms to landward uses. Whether or not the inhabitants of the island are the salt of the earth, their manners and speech are enjoya blv seasoned hv the salt of the sea. When a man goes to the mainland he Is said to "go to America” or to “the continent.” This form of expres sion is in everyday use without any consciousness of its peculiarity. In Nantucket you don’t raise an um brella; you “set it” like a jib. A house blind does not work loose; It gets adrift. “Everything is drawing” means mak ing the most progress. During the last phase of the war you heard that “the allies have got everything draw ing." When one is prepared to go any where lie is said to lie “hove short” (that is. o.n his anchor cable) and “ready to trip” (the anchor). Just be fore the kaiser’s flight I was told that he was “hove short and about ready to trip." Instead of saying that a man is used up or “all in," they -ay that he is "tin out” (like a dying whale) : "I w;e nearly tin out with tin* influenza.’’ I once heard it said of an extrava gant man < ti the island, who spent more than hi< income, that he had “two lamps burning and no ship at sea." When otied Maey, who wrote the history of whaling in Ddo, draf’ed his will in the year DM, he inserted the following clauses, which are character istic of the nautical •xpressbnis of the natives; "Item. I have cruised with my wife. Ifulfly Jane, since Dll. We signed articles in town before the preacher on Independence day. 1 want tier and my son, Jotlmia. to he captain and mat • in bringing to pert whatevet I leave and see that ever;, one of the crew gets the lay as writ down on tills paper.
