It took the democrats a long while

Democrats who have been contem
plating scratching some of the candi
dates on their ticket, if any such thte
really are, may not learn until too
late that they have been 'ambushed by
tneenemy.
Inere is no disaffection among
democrats as to the record nfade by
President Wilson. It is assumed that
all democrats will vote and work for
him with all their zeal and all their
influence. Not one who votes for him
will be doing the president a favor by
doing so unless he votes also to pro
vide the president with the working
machinery that will enable him to
carry out the comprehensive plans he
has outlined for putting the people in
command of their government, ant
for keeping the hands of avarice off
the people's throats.
If the republican congrejs should be
elected it will, if it is not now helving
its purposes, undo most of the good
things that Wilson and congress have
done, and repeat many of the obnox
ious processes that lour years ago
made the republican party a reptiK
nant institution. For whatever that
is good for the people President Wil
son may stands that will a republican
congress be against. For whatever
that is evil for the people that may
be opposed by the president a republi-
can congress will diligently strive.
What is said here in reference to
congress may be said with equal truth
concerning the state government. Re
publican triumph in this state will in
evitably mean, a backward march in
the progress that has been made in
the past four years, and a bulwarking
of a national organization that is the
avowed enemy "of democratic government.
Appeal is made to the friends of the
president to not only help re-elect
him, but to also help him do the splen
did things he says he wants to do. It
would be a poor privilege indeed to
be a democratic president and be un
able to do things for the people which
so sterling and sturdy a democrat as
President Wilson wants to do.
This appeal is not made in behalf
of Senator Hitchcock as an individual,
nor for Keith Neville as an individual,
although no democrat need hope to
find better men for whom to vote. It
is made in behalf of democratic gov
ernment, which is the salvation of the
people Democratic machinery, is not
the chief end that is desirable. The
great privilege is democratic govern
ment, the greatest good for the great
est number, which Wood row Wilson
and a democratic congress have been J
giving us in unprecedented measure,
In order to secure that sort of.gov-;
ernment, however, it is essential that
democrats shall be chosen to control
and direct it.
If the citizen approves of the great
program of legislation which congres
has enacted during the past four
years, it would be the act of a dolt
for him to vote against a continuance
of that congress in power at Washing
ton. To be fair he must vote for
democrats, in preference to republi
cans, for congressmen and senators.
No man who now refuses support to
the Woodrow Wilson democratic pro
gram is likely to ever hereafter com
mand much confidence and respect as
a member of the party of which Presi
dent Wilson is the standard bearer.
And such men will be far outnum
bered by former republicans who have
been won by the quality of govern
ment given by the president and con
gress and by a business administra
tion of our stale affairs. Lincoln

men and women, is in two million homes today because of its true worth."
Multidudes of men and women who claim that Tanlac has given. them back health and
strength are going to observe the celebration of Tanlac Week, October 9 to 1 4, because they
are grateful for the results Tanlac has given them.
Eight thousand leading druggists of the United States who endorse the remedy for re
lief from ills of the stomach and digestive system, liver and kidneys will make a special dis
play of the medicine. They know that Tanlac is the sensation of their business the remedy
that they axe glad to sell because, as they say "it gives universal satisfaction."
TANLAC'S SUCCESS IMMEDIATE
Two years ago Tanlac was offered tto the public in Lexington, Kentucky. Its success in
alleviating pains and ills of the stomach and digestive system was instantly proclaimed by
those who took the medicine. In nine months a million bottles had been sold in a limited ter
ritory. Today, only two years after Tanlac's presentation to the public, more than seven
million bottles have been sold.
The endorsement of Tanlac by druggists and users means merit. Back of Tanlac's tri
umph in the drug store is Tanlac's triumph in the home. It has become a household remedv.
Tanlac has, become known as The National Tonic. So great is its merit that a million
dollar corporation has been formed to distribute it in Canada. New laboratories are being
considered to increase the production, which is already at the amazing rate of over five million
WHY PEOPLE TALK ABOUT IT
'At one time one distributor of Tanlac ordered five carloads 72,000 bottles. In the
same week four carloads were ordered for New York, two for 'Pennsylvania, one, for Minnesota.
Only true worth of Tanlac as a relief fo; suffering could explain Tanlac's popularity.
When people suffering from indigestion, dyspepsia, belching and bloating from gas, sour
ness and soreness of the stomach, inactive liver, billiousness, dizziness, kidney troubles,
pains in the side and back, headaches, weakness, sleeplessness, nervourness, loss of weight.
catarrhal conditions, foul breath and rheumatism are helped by Tanlac they are sure to
talk about Tanlac.
Tanlac is well advertised but its true merit could create its popularity. It is what
people who have taken Tanlac say about the medicine that has made it recognized as The
Master Medicine.
PROPER RELIEF IS SIMPLE
Adv ertising ma' sell one bottle of Tanlac, but all the advertising in the world could not
sell a second bottle to the purchaser if the first bottle did not give satisfaction. "It's
what the neighbors say about Tanlac that counts." People who have taken Tanlac are so
enthusiastic about it that they may tell a dozen or a hundred others about the great new
medicine.
The suffering of thousands of people may be simply explained and, if the proper remedy
is used, maj' be simply relieved. Many ills are due to what is known as intestinal toxemia
a self-poisoning due to the fermentation of food in the stomach and intestines because the
digestive system fails to do its work properly.
Tanlac, a purely vegetable remedy made from a secret formula, is specially designed to
relieve these ills the common, everyday ills which make millions of men and women mis
erable; rob them of their strength and vitality, and keep them in distress, discomfort and
pain while the' should be enjoying the blessings of complete health and vigor which makes
life worth while.
EVIDENCE IS STRONG
Tens and tens of thousands of endorsements of Tanlac prove what Tanlac has done and
can do for sufferers.
They are evidence that can not be dispu ted. Tanlac has been endorsed and recom
mended by leading business men, by lawyers, ministers, farmers, artisans and mechanics, by
women in the factory, the farm, the home by people in every walk of life.
Such evidence proves Tanlac The Master Medicine, and has made Tanlac the National
Tonic. '
