LABOR OUT FOR MEREDITH
Onion Men In Des Moines Urge His
Support by All Iowa Union Men.

OulON MCu III DcS IVAu0o OA6O AAS
Support by All Iowa Union Men.
More than $50 members Of twelve
local unions of organized labor In Des
Moines are out with signed state
ment endorsing the candidacy Of e. T.
Meredith for governor, following an
investigation Of his plant Successful
Farming, by committee. The state
ment says in part:
IF labor is appreciative Of deeds
performed. without thought of po-
litical prestige, rather than politics&
promises made in order to gain po-
litical office, and will vote for the man
who for years has been loyal friend
to labor, Mr.. Meredith will be elected
governor Of Iowa"
The union men are sending copy
of their report to the officers and
members of labor unions throughout
the state and their report, which
shows that labor conditions In Mere
dith's plant are ideal; that his record
as an employer Of labor for twenty
years is such that it is unnecessary
for him to make political promises;
that his relations with labor have al
ways been most friendly; that he has
refused to affiliate with the Business
Mems League of Des Moines' and that
"Mr. Meredith stands for what organ
lied labor is fighting for. and the
sooner labor, irrespective of political
affiliations in state and local affairs
helps to elect a man to office who for
years has been their proven friend,
and who places principle above office,
the more quickly will labor receive
social justice"

Fremont County Herald: In q
Harding for Governor" circular we
find this rich morsel: "Mr. Harding's

anybody ever realized the odium that
comes with such q disclosure 1t would
be W. L. Harding and his friends.

Tanlac, the National Tonic, is a
boon to those who suffer from stom-
ach. kidney, liver and catarrhal all
ments. 1t has brought new hope to
thousands who were prematurely
aged, and it's history is the story OF
an acceptance and appreciation OF
merit never before attained by pro-
prietary medicine.
Staid business men to whom the
actual figures of the production OF
Tanlac have been presented have
secuted them until the proof was
shown.
Tanlac is primarily tissue build
er, tonic and appetizer. 1t rev1tallzes
the blood. restores inflamed mem
branes, and builds the body back to
strength.
Catarrh is the great American dis
ease. Catarrh of the stomach and Kid
neys often leads to dyspepsia and
Bright's disease. Catarrh of the head
often causes deafness and catarrh OF
the throat frequently is communicat-
ed to the lungs. The nerves are i'm

the head, failure of the food to sup

gas or wind on the stomach after eat

Two important matters of business

breeding interests in Maine were
brought before the meeting and action
taken to bring about definite results.
Both have to do with the exhibition

One relates to the giving of more

matter of education 10 the public and
as a means of interesting farmers in

the things desired are a suitable ring
