LOOKS MUCH BETTER IN EVERY WAY NOW Fred Flagle Wants Others in Helpmate's Former Condition to Take the Premier Preparation. "Of course, I will recommend Tanlac. 1 do so gladly because the relief my wife gained through its ii:-e has made me feel very grateful to this preparation." This ;us the statement of Fred l'lagle, of 7':: .Sherman st., South Kend. a laborer and a well known resident of this city. Mr. Flairle has lived in South Bend a number f years and is known by countless irlends as a man who. under no ircumstances would make a false r txag-erated statement. Continuing, he said: "l'cr a long time my wife has suf-J-red from rheumatism and her system h; been a general run down condition. Sin had sere rhoiimuti' pains all t-ver her body, being most seere in her ankles and limbs. Her appetite wa,s very poor. She la 'krd spirit ami she didn't seem to be herseif at all. In fact, her system generally was in very bad sh ipe. "I read about Tanlac in the news-pa;-rs and others who had tried it, praised it so highly that I bought a bottle and asked my wife to try it. She ha.s taken three bottles of Tanlax now and she is improving rapidly. She eats heartily now and sdie's regaining her old time spirit and seeiis more like herself again. She looks miK'h better in every way. "Tanlac has helped my sife and 1 recommend it fur others in her former condition."

They are run down ant, their .systems are in reed of a thorough renovating. Tanbu is designed espei;!ly to relieve this condition and ncently has proved successful in scores of south Bend cases as well as in thousands of other casts over the country. It is an excellent tonk and also is i-enericial for stomach. her and kidney trouble, -atarrhal complaints, rheumatism. uervousness and the like." Tanlac Is now beirg introduced in Smth.

USED TO MAKE

S VOTE FOR HUGHES New. Times Special s'erTlie; LAPOUTi:. Ind.. Nov. 1. Following is a notice that has been placed on tlif bulletin board in the plant of the American Three-V.'uy Prism Co., a corporation having offices in Importe, Chicago ami New York city: (;;m:u.l orrici: m i.u:n. To All l!r.ii:( hfH and Kmployes; On the near approach of the PKi:smi:NTiAi, i:u:ction f take this occasion to advise that in the Jinn opinior, an'! sincere belief ,f the Management, heartily endorsed by District Managers and Department Head the need' of the Country, the welfare of each and every individual and also tne best interest of this company require that HUG I IKS be elected. This is no snap Judgment but the result of careful and deliberate study of the situation. This is no attempt to influence anyone to vote contrary to his principles or convictions further than the mere ftatement of toe facts will do. livery man has the right to use his franchise as his conscience approves, but we wish to show our unqualified endorsement of HUGHUS and a desire for his election. We believe only good results can follow an expression and circulation of our views. Hearty response so far in every dire-c-tion has met this sentiment, ar.ä co-operation to this end throughout all departments is requested. Yours very truly, AMUIUCAX 3-WAY PBISM CO. C. II. Paschal. President. Heavy fines and prison sentences are named under the corrupt practices act passed by the Indiana legislature in 1911 for corporations that coerce or attempt to coerce voters. Democrats here point out that the notice requesting employes to sup port Hughes that has been posted in the Laporte plant of the American Three-Way Prism Co. is in direct violation of the corrupt practices act passed by the Indiana legislature. An attempt is made by the company to cover up the fact that it is coercion by saying in the notice that "this is no attempt to influence anyone to vote contrary to his principles or convictions further than the mere statement of facts will do." Head of Finn Active. The notice states that the best interesti of the company require that Hughes be elected. By posting the notice the heads of the company "believe that only good results can follow an expression and circulation of our views", from which the inference has been drawn by democrats that Hughes must be voted for. The election of Hughes is desired by the president of the company, C. H. Paschal, and "co-operation to this end throughout all departments is requested." Paschal contenied Tuesday that the poster was not in violation of the law, because it did not say that any person would be thrown out of work if Hughes were not elected. He said that the same notice was being posted in factories of other corporations throughout the country and that a representative of one of these concerns hail sent him the copy from which the one in use in his plant was made. Kurnclys Arc Also ActUe. "Protect Your Job. Choose Hughes", is the sign that greets the

workers at ti e Aihar.ce Kumeiy Co. as they pass in and out of th gates of the plant of the company here. Until a few days ago when the law in regard to toe porting of election placards in factories was printed in a local newspaper, posters advocating Hughes' election were hanging in the Kurnely factory. Apparently trying to appease the democrats, the placards were taken from inside the factory and placed on a bill board Just outside the gate, but still on the property of the company. The board is about four feet y six feet in dimension and it is lite.aliy coveted with republican Misters and literature. A picture taken of the board shows an announcement of a Watson meeting and other cards. One of the posters bears the words "Protection and Permanent Prosperity. Choose Hughes." Another placard asks who paid the state debt and carries figures twisted around to make the workers believe the republicans did. Still another requests the workers to "remember the touh times before the war" and "elect Hughes." Ixtoks Like Coercion. Democrats declare emphatically that the poster bearing the words "Protect Your Job. Choose Hughes" can be construed as nothing other than coercion. They contend that it implies that unless Hughes is elected there will be no work for them, and an impication of this kind is punishable by a tine of not less than $;Hn nor more than J 1,000 or by imprisonment for not more than one year or both. Beasons for the interest of the Rumcly company in the election of Hughes are very evident, democrats point out. The House of Morgan, the big Wall street financial institution, is back of the corporation and George W. Perkins, who led Theodore Roosevelt back Into the ranks of the G. O. P., taking him from the progressives, has considerable holdings in the corporation. Are Spot tins Wilson .Men. Republican clubs are being formed among empoyes of the Rumcly Co. as a means of finding out how they stand on the coming election. Superintendents and foremen are

I the organizers and papers have been passed around among the men asking them to place their names upon them if they care to Join the clubs. If they refuse to join, it is known that they favor Wilson for the presidency. Recently two Polish workers at the Rumely plant, who had been Wilson supporters, spent a short time in the office of the company and came out wearing Hughes buttons. Since that time they have been working for the election of Hughes. The two men were working side by side in the factory when a Mr. Sheldon came to them from the office and asked them to come in. The change in their convictions took only a short time, but Wilson supporters here are Investigating with considerable success the cause of the sudden change. Hold Political Meetings. On last Wednesday. Oct. 25. the Niles fc Scott Co. held a political meeting at the factory from 1 o'clock until 1:30 o'clock which all of the employes attended, their time going on just the same. A Mr. Lowrie of Indianapolis spoke to them, advocating the election of Hughes. It is held that methods of this kind constitute "aid" in electing Hughes. Corporations are not allowed to give financial help or aid to the success of any political party and those that do can be punished under the Indiana statutes. The posting of placards threatening or implying suspension of work or calculating to influence the vote of employes is illegal. What Ijiw Kay. The corrupt practices act passed by the Indiana legislature in 1911 defines those who are guilty of violating the act as: "Kvery person who being an employer, pays Why Change Authors)

Still Another Station. Section 12 of the same statute provides that "it shall be unlawful for any corporation incorporated under the laws of the state of Indiana, or of any state or territory of the United States, of the District of Columbia, or of the United States, or of any other country, directly
