HUNTS, : AT EsT45R

Jorlty OF delegates from the west
ern filed, to which the choice was
limited, was Edwin Meredith Of
Iowa.
Meredith lives in the center Fl
tlie great agricultural region which
IS the seat Of the cramps which
threaten to bring on political cons
vulsions this fall. The trouble has
been diagnosed out there as too
much Wall street.
Meredith, as publisher of farm
periodicals and in close touch with
agricultural thought and sentiment,
realized that a lot of explaining
would have to be done to convince
the midwest that a New York at
torney, with his office on Broad
street just around the corner from
Wall, and with j. P. Morgan as his
client, is not to a considerable de-
gree influenced by, if not represeh-
tative of, Wall street.
So Meredith, likewise, refused the
honor. Thereby setting new rec
ord for the Democrats.
One Republican - Lowden-re-
fused the G. 0. P. vice presidential
place. Two Democrats Walsh and
Meredith-refused it from che
Democrats.

Tanlac has been endorsed by
numbers of prominent mrniff5tefs.
They have. put Tanlac to the test
OF personal service and their words
carry conviction because they say
what they know to be the truth.
One of the latest to speak out in
behalf of Tanlac IS Rev. B. Il. Bell,
retired Baptist minister, 207 Elm
St., San Antonio, Texas, who says:
Before taking Tanlac | had suf-
fered from stomach and nerve
troubles for over 80. years and
there were times which MY icondi-
ton was such that it required al
most superhuman effort for me to
prepare my sermons and 60
through with my Sunday services.
Indeed, my work seemed like some
great obstacles across my pathway
"a burden too big to carry in my
weak physical condition.
"But in six weeks time Tanlac
transformed MY entire outlook,
giving me what seemed like new
set of nerves and a brand new di-
gastive system. Ny appetite be-
came ravenous, my nerves steady,
my liver action regular and |
could sleep sound for the first
time in years. Whenever I have

The vice presidential sentiment

BLAME. MOVIES FOR
TAHITI CRIME WAVE

FAPEETE, Thaiti, July 49,
Motion picture films depicting
valiant deeds of handsome bandits,
arousing great excitement among
native audiences, are blamed for
bhe mild outbreak of banditry that
look place during May. Early in the
month four natives, imprisoned for
various offenses, took to the hills
back of Papeete. They descended
from time to time on caiding ex-
petitions, chiefly against Chinese
provision shops, unguarded clothes
lines, plge pens and chicken runs.
In the course of their plundering
they obtained firearms and ammu-
milton, and after that their armed
forrays caused something of a panie
among the householders of the
island.
After many unavailing efforts to
capture the bandits, the govern
ment organized parties of natives to
search the mountains systematically.
One of the parties founI the four
in a remote valley, but they were
not subdued until one of the fugi
tives had been killed and another
wounded.
