The Independent is authoriz
ed to announce the candidacy o:
William A. Oldfield of Independ
ence County for re-election ai
congressman from the Seconc
district, subject to the action o:
the Democratic primary.
Abe Reuf’s Case.
Strong efforts are being mad<
in California to secure either th<
pardon or the parole of Ab<
Reuf, the San Francisco boodle]
now doing time in the San Quin
tin penitentiary. It is urged ir
the appeal for release that of at
the parties connected with the
~~.notorious grafting operations in
San Francisco Reuf is the only
one in prison, all the others hav
ing, through some means or oth
er, escaped punishment.
The effort of Reuf’s friends
are not likely to succeed. Were
the same man governor now that
occupied the chair while Reuf
and his gang were conducting
their nefarious operations there
is but little doubt that he would
listen to their appeals, but there
is another crovemor now. Gov
emor Johnson was elected
through an upheaval caused by
the corruption of Reuf and his
partners in crime and is not dis
posed to pay much heed to the
appeals to show mercy to the im
prisoned boss.
Governor Johnson is right, the
fact that Reuf is the only one of
the infamous bunch who suffer
ed the consequences of his mis
deeds should cut no figure in con
'"•'-'sideration of the question. Reuf
was the worst of the whole
bunch. He was the leader, the
brains of the gang. He controll
ed the mayor, the councilmen
the other officials, as well as the
county. His partner, Schmidt
who escaped punishment
through technicalities of the
law, was equally as rotten as
himself, but he was only a tool
Reijf is the most... corrupt mar
-—rthat ever figured in the corrupt
politics of the golden state.
The imprisoned boss has made
a model convict and during hi:
confinement has effected some
very salutary reforms in prisoi
management but he should no
be pardoned.—Fort Smith Time;

HOW ONE
WOMAN WON
Her Health and Strength Back
Again by The Use of Cardui.
.
Tftnpa, Fla.—In a letter from this
dtj Mrs. E. O. Corum writes: “I was
all weakened and worn out with, wo
manly troubles. My husband brought
me some Cardui as a tonic, and, from
the first day, it seemed to help.
I had almost lost my reason, but,
thanks to Cardui, I did not. Soon, I
felt and looked like a new woman. I
think the remedy Is wonderful. I
recommend it to my friends, for I hare
received great benefit from it.”
Cardui acts specifically on the weak
ened womanly organs, strengthening
the muscles and nerves, and building
them up to health.
It helps to refresh the worn-out ner
vous system and relieves the effects of
overwork, both mental and physical.
Fifty years’ successful use fully
prove the merit of this purely vege
table, tonic remedy for women.
In every community, there live soma
who have been benefited by Cardui.
The beneficial effects of this time
tested woman’s remedy, soon show
themselves in many different ways,
