STRONGLY DEF END
PEOPLES RIGHTS
COUNCIL OF AMERICA HOLDS
ASSEMBLY IN SPITE or. ALL
OPPOSITION.
ITS CONSTITUTIONAL
RIGHT OF FREE :sPEEcHsAND
PETITION.

Re llIllN.
In spite Of all obstacles the Peoples
Council held its constituent assembly in
Chicago on September and2. AS a
result the following statement has been
issued to the people of America:
The state authorities attempted to
suppress this assembly by suspending
American constitutional guarantees Of
free speech, peaceable assemblage and
the right to petition the government.
But the city Of Chicago, upholding
American traditions Of liberty, extended
to the Peoples Council the protection
of the law, and the Peoples Council is
now an organized force.
Purposes Are Lawful.
I'VE speak for hundreds of thousands
of loyal American citizens, who have
not had the opportunity to express
themselves. Our purposes are lawful,
our methods are legal and our sole desire
is the welfare of our fellowmen. We
therefore call upon all Americans to ex-
ercise their influence to the end that the
constitutional rights of the people may
not be taken from them.
I'VE hold the following views as to
peace:
The peace conference of the nations
should be called at once and the govern
ment of the Unuited States should take
the lead in calling this conference.
The peoples Of the world want the
war to end 5s
The peoples of the world want an
enduring peace after the war.
The terms of peace are practically
agreed upon by the peoples Of all the
=belligerent nations. s.s
w hy then is net the misery ended
and why does not the peace conference
convene at once? 5s5 3s9 I.
We contend that the only hope fol
a world made safe for democracy is
peace now and peace without victory.

it not only distressed me because of
the discomfort and pain, but it would
press up around my heart, making 1t
pound and palpitate and giving me
an awful smothering sensation.
II was terribly constipated, too; |
always had nasty taste in my mouth,
and / couldn't sleep a night through
for / would have such horrible dreams
that 1 would start out of my sleep
trembling all over.
But Tanlac has brought about a
wonderful change in my condition. My
nerves have been quieted and strength
ened my stomach has been toned up
so that j have a good appetite and can
eat anything / please and enjoy it; /
am regaining my lost weight and l
now sleep soundly all night long and
am not disturbed by those awful night
horrors. Tanlac has done so much for
me that I want other suffering women
to know of it,"
Tanlac. the famous reconstructive
tonic, is now being introduced here at
Gorgas' Drug Store. where the Tanlac
