SEN. OWEN TIES
KNOT IN PLANS
TO QUIT EARLY
Democratic Scion Demands
Corrupt Practice Bill be
Voted on at This
Session.

WASHINGTON. Aug. i. - Re
publican senate leaders and Sen
owen. democrat. tied the legislative
situation i'm the senate into a hard
knot Wednesday, threatening the
plans of administ ration leaders to
expedite the shipping workmen's
compensation and revenue bills. and
assure an early adjournment of con-
gress.
The obstacle interposed was the
owen corrupt practices bill TO limit
and regulate political campaign con-
tributions. The democrats did not
include the measure in their legisla-
tive program but Sen. Owen wants
il passed and the republican leaders
want definite assurances of its post
ponement until the December ses-
sion.
Make Counter Demand.
When Sen. Fletcher sought an
agreement to vote on the shipping
bill republican leaders demanded in
return "A promise from the admins
tration forces that the corrupt prac-
tees bill would not be passed to a
vote before adjournment. Most of
the democrats were willing but they
found Sen. Owen determined TO call
his bill up some time before ad-
journment and to demand a vote on
il no matter what the result might
be.
Sen. owens attitude resulted in a
declaration by the republicans that
they would not agree to any unan-
imOus consent requests to fix a time
for voting on either the shipping
or revenue bills. Sen. owen there
upon announced that he also would
refuse unanimous consent on re-
quest TO fix time to vote on the
other bills. as long as opposition to
taking up his measure persisted.
That was the tangled situation
when the senate adjourned tonight
without vote on the shipping bin.
Some administration leaders thought
Pres't Wilson might have to be APP
pealed TO If the way were to be
cleared for the shipping. revenue
and wOrkmen's compensation bills.
If Sen. owen and republican leaders
remain determined. it was declared

Size Is not everything. But when a de-
mand becomes so great that the article, no
matter what it may be- completely domi-
mates its field of usefulness, there must be
big reason.
When proprietary medicine has reached
position of absolute dominance, as has
Tanlac, from small beginning, through a
steady growth, its size becomes important.
The demand for Tanlac today is far, far
greater than that ever won by any other
medicine. The demand is bigger by mil
lions of bottles year.
Twenty-Five Distributing Firms
The production of Tanlac now is at the
great figure of approximately SIX millions
of bottles year-and is steadily increas-
ing.
Twenty-Five companies, whose business
solely Is the distribution of Tanlac IN va
rious sections of the United States, form an
organization never before approached
Approximately 5000 druggists are e9-
elusive Tanlac agents-because Tanlac is
sold only by druggist in each city.
Tanlac has been, and is being, widely
advertised. Of course, advertising pays,
and pays handsomely, when the product ad-
vertiSed makes good the statements of its
advertisers and is practically without COM
petition.
