PARTY VICTORY
SEEN AT RALLY
OF DEMOCRATS
Goodrich and His Legislature
Given as One Reason for
State Success.
STRONG SPEECHES MADE
Confidence in the ability of the demo
cratic party to carry the state and na
tion in the forthcoming election was ex
pressed by speakers at the “ratification
meeting at the Indiana Democratic club
last night.
The speakers were Charles Remster,
Dr. Carleton B. McCulloch, nominee for
governor; Henry X. Spaan, nominee for
congress; Albert Stump and Michael K.
Foley.
Dr. McCulloch said democratic stock
in the nation went up 50 per cent fol
lowing the San Francisco convention and
that democratic stock in Indiana has
gone up 50 per cent as a result of the
second special session of the Goodrich
legislature.
“The stock had considerable to start
'on so it is now far above par.” he said.
Dr. McCulloch told of the San Fran
cisco convention and characterized Gov.
James M. Cox, the nominee, as a worthy
successor of President W llson.
Mr. Spaan read a speech, in which he
discussed both state and antional issues,
dwelling particularly on the issue of
••Goodrichism.”
Mr. Spaan declared that the governor
deliberately set to work to make himself
the “great central figure of political at
traction.”
HOW HAND
OIIDED SLATE.
He pointed out that the governor dic
tates to the legislature and that during
the 1919 session no law was permitted to
pass without his consent with the result
taht the session probably was the worst
the state ever has experienced.
“So manv and grave were the mistakes
made by the Goodrich legislature that
it has been called in session twice to
correct its blunders, and the more it is
called in session the greater are its
blunders." Mr. Spaan said.
Mr. Spaan then discussed the tax law.
which he termed “infamous.” and de
clared it was intended to build up a po
litical machine. •
“The whole Goodrich tax law must be
repealed,” he said.
“The present legislature has been called
In session to fix it up. The way to do
this is tv elect a democratic administra
tion and that will clean up this infamous
tax conspiracy and give us anew law
that is truly American in spirit and that
does not interfere with local self-govern
ment nor with the constitution of the
stats.
“TO DISREGARD
SUPREME COURT”
“This great governor of ours in his
message advises the legislature to dis
regard the ruling of the supreme court
and by a law legalize the illegal conduct
of the tax board.
“That is to say, he advised the legis
lature to make it legal to collect taxes
that were levied Illegally by bis political
board.
“I hope for the sake of the fair fame
of the state of Indiana that this repub
lican legislature has got sense enough
to reject such foolish advice."
Mr. Spaan then touched on the gov
ernor's connection with the coal business.
“It seems that this great war governor
of ours is a coal operator also, and
wten our good Senator Cravens asked
him about it he made the lame excuse
that he had made his son a wedding
present of bis stock," Mr. Spaan said.
“But the fact remains that the whole
Goodrich family is in the coal business.
‘Our governor was in the reduction
plant business once, but be sold that
out to our city.”
GOOD NAME
EOK GOVERNOR.
In discussing the governor's record
Mr. Spaan said that “a good name for
this man is the ‘get by' governor—any
thing to get by.”
In discussing national issues Mr.
.Spaan told of the record of the Wilson
administration and of the dissatisfaction
of the Wilson administration and of
the dissatisfaction of republicans with
their present national ticket.
He quoted at length from republican
newspapers telling of this dissatisfac
tion.
Mr. Remster acted as chairman of the
meeting and told of the San Francisco
convention.
Mr. Stump, who formerly was a cap
tain in the army, contrasted the repub
lican platform with that of the demo
crats in regard to their planks regard
ing soldiers.
He pointed out that the most the re
publicans offer the soldier is “grateful
remembrance," while the democrats
promise material things.
Mr. Foley said the republicans are
without any issue except the league of
nations issue and that the democrats
gladly accept the challenge on this issue.
Construction Man

tendent of the Hoes & Pothast Con

Karagah.

WATER SUPPLY
NOT IN DANGER
Indianapolis Has Adequate
Purifying Chemical Store.
Since adequate supplies of purifying
chemicals are available in Indianapolis,
the water supply is not menaced by dis
ease Infection, which is threatened in
other cities, officials of the Indianapolis
Water Company said today.
Emergency appeals have been received
by officers of the United States public
health service from ten states and nu
merous city boards of health, but Indi
anapolis has not been forced to seek as
sistance.
Shortage of purifying chemicals and
congestion of railroad shipping facilities
are said to have alarmed many health
officials and water company managers,
bringing urgent requests for priority
orders for railroad shipments.
Indianapolis has a four months' sup
ply of chlorine and an adequate supply
of" alum, two of the most important
chemicals used in purification of water,
it was said.
Water company officials reported they
had become interested in the situation
several months ago and made arrange
ments to assure a satisfactory supply of
the chemicals.
ROADS REFUSED
TO ACCEPT CYLINDERS.
“Because of the attitude of the rail
road companies in refusing to accept
empty cylinders, in which chlorine had
been shipped, the chemical companies
were unable to fill some orders," ex
plained one official of the Indianapolis
Water Company, “and that resulted in a
tie-up for a time of such shipments, and
it was necessary to obtain revision of
shipping conditions before that diffi
culty was relieved.
“Co-operation of railroads, however,
now has been obtained and the situation
gradually will iron out."
Surgeon General Cummins of the
United States public health service, in a
statement Issued outlining the situation,
emphasized teb fact that serious epi
demics may follow in some cities where
the chemical supply for purification pur
poses has run low and addition supplies
not available.
WASHINGTON, July 21. —Public health
service officials today said they would
make an urgent appeal to the Interstate
Commerce Commission for cars to haul
material from which water purifying
chemicals are made.
The purity of the water supply of sev
eral score of American cities is threaten
ed because of a shortage of alum and
chlorine, the principal purifying chemi
cals. and offcials of the service fear epi
demics of typhoid fever and other water
borne diseases unless the situation Is
corrected quickly.

not, tt was the duty of the party to

BOARD OF WORKS
CUTS OFF JOGS
Adopts Declaratory Resolu
tions for Traffic Relief.
Preliminary action on the elimination
of two dangerous Jogs in the city streets
were taken today by the board of public
works, when declaratory resolutions were
adopted for cutting off the southeast
corner of Illinois and Sixteenth streets
and the opening of Michigan street from
Dorman to Highland.
Both these changes, George Lcmaux,
president of the bo-trd, said will elim
inate dangerous traffic conditions and
also will aid in better handling of the
traffic.
Action was taken on cutting off the
southeast corner of the intersection of
Illinois and Sixteenth streets some tini< f
ago, but the resolution called for the
widening of the street, and as there
was a legal objection made to the term
“widening,” the board rescinded all ac
tion on the resolution.
The new resolution rends “change" in
Illinois street and the board thinks this
can not meet with a legal objection
by the property owners at the southeast
corner of the street.
The opening of Michigan street from
Dorman street to Highland avenue will
eliminate a wide Jog and also the pos
sibility' of traffic tie-ups and collisions
of eastbound traffic on Michigan street
and northbound traffic on Highland ave
nue.
WON’T TAKE UP
OLD SECTION.
The section of Michigan street between
Highland avenue and West Michigan
street will not be taken up. as it will
aid in the relief of traffic.
The opening of the street could have
been eliminated by cutting off the north
east corner of Highland avenue and East
Michigan street, but that would have
caused damage to valuable property.
A delegation of property owners from
Irvington came before the board ask
ing for the extension of water and gas
mains, but many of them were informed
that they were outside the hundred feet
limit which is a clause In the gas and
water companies’ franchises.
The board has no power to order the
extension of mains.
Where there Is one consumer to every
100 feet of mains to be laid, the board
has the power to order the extension cf
mains, but in many of the cases pre
sented there would be only one consumer
to every 1© feet of main.
SEE NO CHANCE OF
STREET IMPROVEMENTS.
Several delegation# were before the
board asking the improvement of streets,
but the board told them that there could
be no relief af present because contrac
tors can cot get materials.
Resolutions were confirmed for the
grading and paving of Thirtieth street
from Central avenue to Broadway; grad
ing of the roadway from Bancroft, street
front Julian avenue to the Pennsylvania
curbing on Julian avenue from Emerson
avenue to Bancroft street; grading of
roadway on Julian avenue from Emerson
avenue to Bancroft street, and for side
walks, curbs and graded lawns on Ban
croft avenue from Julian avenue to the
Pennsylvania railyay tracks.
All action was rescinded on the grading
and paving of Arsenal avenue, from
Washington street to the Pennsylvania
tracks, and action on the grading and
paving of the first alley east of Broad
way, from Seventeenth street to Nine
teenth street, was deferred until Feb. 7,

A woman on her feet all day very often has backache, dizzy feel

neighbors say, and to the women who have had the experience, she
will go to the nearest drug store and obtain a bottle of Dr. Pierce’s
Favorite Prescription. This is just the womanly tonic she needs
periodically, and many are the women who express themselves as
deeply indebted to Dr. Pierce for this wonderful discovery. It is an
herbal nerve tonic which strengthens the weak woman and overcomes
many of those diseases which cause backache, headache, dizzy feel

every vestige of British military and
civil authority.
Under this scheme Great Britain would
not recognize Irish independence but
such independence would become an
actual fact.
The British government would make
formal announcement that recognition of
the Irish republic by any foreign gov
ernment would be considered an un
friendly act.
In some quarters it was stated the
plan means cutting away of all British
official moorings from Ireland.
Ulster would probably establish its
own parliament and a government which
would continue relations with the Brit
ish empire.
On the other hand Andrew’ Bonar Law
and other British government officials in
timate measures are under consideration
for strengthening the present British
legal and official structure in Ireland.
Three British soldiers were wounded
in a clash near Macroomb early today,
said a dispatch from Dublin.
The troops were guarding a military
lorrie which was conveying provisions to j
the troops at Cork when it was ambushed j
and attacked.
All public meetings and processions l
have beeu forbidden at Cork as a result 1
of the recent fighting in that city. j
Latest advices from Tuam. which was 1
wrecked in the fighting early Tuesday,
describe the scenes during the attack as
a perfect inferno.

Used to build stage coaches as a
trade, later became expert car
riage maker. This 83 years
old citizen relates inter
esting story.
Was nearly deaf from catarrh till he
took the new medicine, Dreca,
which overcame it.
“I have always had faith in the aid
time root and herb remedies, which my
x>arents relied upon entirely when I was
a boy. They didn't know anything about
all these new-fangled Ideas and medicine,
but they raised healthy children juat the
same,” said Mr. Samuel Woods, S3 years
old, who has resided since 1875 at 928
North, Washington street, Marion, Ind.
'can remember when there were only
thrre- stores in Marion. Those were the
days when I built stage coaches as a
trade, then came the Civil war, and I
Joined Company H, Eighth Indiana regi
ment. This was in 1881. After the war
i took up carriage- making and became
expert at the trade.
“For some time I've been growing deaf
from catarrh and the dripping into m.v
throat from the back of my nose annoyed
me very much; kept me hawking and
clearing my throat all the time.
"When I read of Dreeo and that it was
a root and herb medicine, I sent for some
and I am overjoyed with the results. I
can now hear good; the dripping has
ceased; the rheumatism has been relieved,!
and the biliousness overcome. Dreco ia
fine medicine and deserves all the praise
it is getting."
Dreco Is composed of the Juices and ex
tracts of many different roots, herbs,
barks and leaves, which act on the stom
ach, kidneys, liver and bowels and purify
the blood. It relieves constipation, pre
vents gas forming in the stomach, ia
roases the appetite. Insures sound, re
f eshing sleep; banishes catarrh of ths
head and takes the pain out of rheumatic
joints.
All good druggists now sell Dreco, and
it is being especially introduced In In
dianapolis by Clark & Cade’s Claypooi
hotel drug store.—Advertisement.
