Marion, o.. Oct. 1S.-The last sched-
uIed front porch gathering, expected
TO be the most spectacular of the cam
palSn, was to assemble here today in
honor of first time voters.
America first day. is the official

ch1sed women voters will join in the
demonstration for Warren C. Harding,

SINCE rsotification day was expected.
Today's demonstration will virtually
sound taps on the campaigning from
thesfront porch, tho some smaller dele
cations may be addressed by Harding
here before election day
Europe Feels Agreeable.
The League of Nations discussion
was churned up anew today as the
result of sermon preached at the
Methodist church by Bishop William
F. Anderson, Cincinnati, who asserted
many European statesmen had as
sured him Europe would gladly accept
any reservations to the league which
America might insist upon. Senator
ana 4hrS. harding heard the sermon
and the nominee congratulated the
bishop. Even John w. Davis, Amer
lean ambassador to Great Britain, de-
clared President Wilson should have
accepted the senate reservations.
Bishop anderson said
Among the British statesm enN who
indicated to- him they were not OPP
posed to American reservations,
Bishop Anderson said were Lord Hal
anden. Lord Charnwood, the bishop
of Canterbury; Arthur J. Balfour and
leaders of the British labor party.
From Seven States.
Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Pennsy1-
vania, w. Va, Kentucky, and Ohio
sent the largest representation, altho
citizens from many other states were
present. Several trains brought dele
cations from outside Ohio and many
from the cities nearby came by motor.
A bicycle division also was one of the
features of the parade, which pre-
coded the senator's speech.
Delegations from several Ohio
counties, including a consolidated
group from the eighth Ohio congress
sional district were also present. The
Ohio contingents were to have been
received tomorrow, but the two meet
ings were combined SO as to give the
nominee one day of rest before he
leaves Wednesday morning on his last
speaking trip of the campaign.

Mouse Does Dance
When Jazz Starts
at c, ofC. Dinner

There was nothing on the printed
menus for the dinner of the Manufac-
turers and Jobbers' association at the
Chamber of Commerce last week to
cause any prohibition enforcement
agent any qualms. And the amber stuff
in the tall glasses with ice that
clicked-really was ice tea. Yet, and
nevertheless, and also maugre that
fact. now comes A. L. OliSer. secretary
of the Chamber of Commerce, and
Charles Steinberg, who led the orches-
ira which dispensed the music at the
said affair. and get themselves quoted
in the daily press as having seen a
gray mouse 1gray???), which was en-
tieed from behind a radiator to do a
modest dance around the piano when
the orchestra played jazz music. No
music but jazz music would entice the
rodent out, they Go aver. Which leads
to wonderment as to whether all the
glasses on all the tables held the same
sort of stuff, orswhether the jazz mu-
sic was as intoxicating to men as to

certain that the United States will go

Cox asserted here today. speaking to
business men.
+ IF America is to isolate herself
from the world. as some political lead

sdpction to her consumption, and that
would send us back fifty years indus
trially." Cox said.
League Is Only Hope.
SAdy judgment is that dollar wheat

sized than during the last few weeks
VIII come unless it Is certain that we
are going into the league. The mar
ket for our surplus has been in iEu-
rope but Europe cannot get credit to
buy until it is assured she can pay her
war debts, and she cannot give that
assurance until all nations agree to
end exp end1tures for armament ~
How any business man who strips
himself to his own conscience can be
against the league is more than 1 can
understand. r The. excess profits tax
should be repealed but if we are not
In the league by this time next year
there Will be no excess profits"
Europe Fixes Prices.
Cox declared the law of supply and
demand in Europe fixed the price of
wheat in this country and that the
price had declined during the last few
weeks because there was virtually no
European demand for our supplies.
Governor Cox pledged that if elected
he will confer with ex-President Taft,

groups" in ADDITION to the senate, Sc

reservations that do not impair the

said. '.Americanization is not selfish

dom of America that wherever in the
whole world the name of America is
mentioned it shall mean honor, loyalty,

Cant Help Think of Others

Since Tanlac has done so much for
me 1 can't help but think of others
who need it like I did, and feel like
] ought to tell them about it," declared
Mrs. M. A. Layton. of 634 Wabash
avenue. Wichita, Kan.
For three years I suffered from a
very severe case of stomach trouble,
and before l got Tanlac was in a bad
~ rundown condition. 1 had scarcely
any appetite at all. and the little 1 did
manage to eat seemed to lie in my
stomach undigested, causing a heavy
depressed feeling that made me very
uncomfortable.
Il had terrible dizzy spells, felt tired
and wornout, and seemed to have no
energy at all. My back ached and
panied me dreadfully, and L vas so
nervous and restless that at night I
could scarcely sleep. 1 becalNe so
weak and rundown 1 wasn't even able
to do my homework, and nothing 1
took seemed to help me any.
My son brought me a bottle of
Tanlac one day. and 1 was so pleased
with 1t that just kept on taking it
until three bottles have built me up
and put an end to all my troubles. My
appetite is just splendid now, and 1
cat anything l want without it causing
me a particle of trouble. The dizzi-
ness has entirely disappeared, and I
never have a sign of a pain in my
back.
I'm so free from nervousness that
my sleep is sound and refreshing, and
] do not have that tired, WORKOUT feel
ing any more. I've been gaining in
weight and strength ever since start
ed taking Tanlac, and can do all my
housework in perfect ease. Tanlac is
a wonderful medicine to have put me
in such splendid health, and I'm just
as grateful as 1 can be toward the
medicine"
Tanlac is sold in Topeka by TulIy-
