A WASHINGTON MAN
RELATES STORY
D. Floyd Michael Says Life Is

ing Plant Juice.

People everywhere have found great
relief from stomach trouble, weak
ness, and debility through the use of
Plant Juice. the new herbal stomach

poisons and impurities, stimulates the
liver into healthy action. corrects con-
stipation, and clears the system of all
malaria and biliousness. Did II give
results other than outlined there
would never be the demand and uni
versal satisfaction derived from Plant
Juice. 1t does all and more than Is
claimed for II.
Following is the signed testimonial
of a well-known Washington citizen
which speaks for itself:
Mr.. d. Floyd Michael, who resides
at No. 635 Kenyon street and is in
Gently made the following statement:
II have suffered with stomach
trouble for the past four years, and

get my breath. l could not sleep at
night and became very nervous and
me very dizzy at times. ! had head

Such words as these and those Of
many others which have been printed,
have wide influence, for they coma

trial and have been greatly benefited.

CONGRESS IS RULED

The charge that "the South is In the

of that body was renewed here today
by Frank NJ. Downer, secretary of the
Western headquarters OF the national
Republican Congressional committee.
MT. Downer said he wished to EN-
phasize the assertion that the South
exercised a disproportionate share in
tine election OF Congressman.
He said:
"As constituted at the beginning
Of the Sixty-fourth Congress, there
were 435 members, classified as fol-

Hughes Tells Why Young America
Should Vote for Republican Ticket
Sort of Country Young

First-He wants a country re-
spected throughout the world.
He wants a country which re-
spects the dignity Of its citi-
zenship.
Second-Young America must
desire a country that is pre-
pared for every emergency.
Third-Young America, looking
ahead, must desire that when
peace is once more restored we
shall contribute to its mainte-
nance by doing our proper
share to secure a practicable
and effective international or
ganization in the interest Of
peace.
Fourth-Young America wants
government in the open by Wis
ible constitutional instruments,
not by unofficial spokesman or
invisible authority. He also
wants a government not sec
tional' but truly national.
Fifth-Young America wants in

Gives Five Main Reasons in
Brooklyn Speech for This
Support.

NEW YORK, oct.r 9s-Before an en-
thusiastic audience In the Academy OF
Music In Brooklyn last night Charles e.
Hughes ridiculed and criticised the Will

presented an outline Of constructive
measures which he proposed to put into
effect II elected President. He added
amid sustained applause that he was
confident of being sent to the White
House by the American people.
Mr.. Hughes made his appeal to young

Hughes big reception. There wee

not find even standing room within.

OF the danger of hecklers being planted

them, ready to answer any questions.

Mr.. Hughes leaves on his last tour to-
day, and II Is predicted he will make

night about his stand against dual al
legiances. He will speak today in Hart
ford, Providence, and Boston. and FRI
day In upper New York State. From
there he goes to southern Indiana and
Ohio.
Mr.. Hughes said in part:
What sort of country does young
sire? Let me endeavor to answer that
First. He wants country%respected
throughout the world. He wants n
Its citizenship and thus deserves and
enjoys the esteem OF other nations.
He wants no braggart assertion of
power, no policies of aggression; he
has no desire for strife.
but he desires to have the Ameri-
can flag symbol of firmness, of n
courageous and indomitabe spirit, of
an intense love of Justice, OF great
strength well organized but never mis-
used which secures protection to
American citizens in their Just rights
throughout the world. He must recog-
nize that there is no permanent secur-
lty for people which takes counsel OF
its fears rather than of its principles.

day from Western headquarters at Chi

Mr.. Eversman. who is secretary to
Congressman Mckinley of Illinois. pre-
dicted victory for Hughes. and said
Hughes and Republican House were
sure.
He said the Democrats in their pres
ent claims of victory reminded him OF
the rooters for the losing team. who,
about the seventh inning. seeing the
situation desperate, stood up in their
seats and tried to- rattle the winners.
Won't Get Ratified.
''The Republicans won't get ratified"
said Eversman.
I'm spite OF the wild and vociferous
claims Of the Democrats" he con-
tinued, every indication points to the
election of Hughes by a substantial
majority. So far as the Middle West
10 concerned, prospects are splendid.
I see no reason whatever to change
figures based on the votes of 1914. You
Will remember that in that election the
Republicans carried twenty-three States
which would give a majoflty of twenty
two in the Electoral College. And this
Repubiicans feel they can carry this
year. namely. california. Montana. Ne
vada, Arizona, Nebraska, South Da-
kota, Oregon. Missouri. Kentucky. and
Indiana; This would add .eighty-seven
electoral votes to the total.
"In these twenty.three States the APP
proximate figures showed In 1914 the Re-
publican gain. of 2.4Ss,5SS over the Re
publican Presidential vote OF 1912. The
Progressive loss was 2,5O7,sil. This is
what became of the Progressive vote In
the last nationwide campaign. In the
twenty-three States carried by the Re-
publicans. the plurality over the Demo-
total votes cast by the three. parties in
