"I had heard of Postum and began to drink it when I. left off the old coffee. It began to help me just as soon as the old effects of the other kind of coffee passed away. It did not stimulate me for a while, and then leave me weak and nervous a8 coffee used to do.

Baltimore, Bryan has called a halt on the Gorman Democratic machine trick and fake ballot schemes in its desperate efforts to carry the suffrage amendment at the election next week. Personally anxious to see the Democratic ticket successful in every county in the State, he is willing to aid his fellow Democrats in every way that is lawful, but there is a line in law over which he declares no Democratic official has the right to tread. In plain language he tells the Democratic election officials that, the point has been reached where they must halt OF suffer the consequences, and the consequence he points out in clear and unmistakable language will be a.

term in jail for those who do not heed his words. The plain intent of the election laws of the State have been openly and flagrantly defied, and even the provisions of the Wuson bill which, up to the present, has seemed to legalize any kind of fraud which the minds of Senator Gorman and his associates could plan appear now to have been violated.
