fair policy.
Every vote for Cooke will be one
against Berry.
The DCncCu machine will he as dead
as Caesars ghost within two years
why should any republican vote for

There is no way of telling just how
many votes the Wcst-Shields letter
has made for Cooke, but it has made

Before Winter.
TRUCKS AND MOTORS HERE
Parts VIII be Assembled at Local
Shops-BridGc Line Cars Arc
Being Rebuilt.

Superintendent J. G.. IIunt0on of
the TRICKY Railway company, is
daily expecting 10 now car bodies
from Cincinnati. where they have
been under course of construction by
the Cincinnati Car company. The
motors and the trucks for the now
cars are already here awaiting the
bodies. The trucks were secured
from the Brill Car company of Phil
adclphia and the motors are the prod
uct Of the General Electric company.
The new cars are to be the exact
counterparts Of the cars now being
used on the Elm street and LOngvicw
lines and the addition OF the cars or
dered will Gll out the 200" series.
The company has made all its own
cars of this type up to date, but it
found that it's shops on Thirty-fifth
street could not turn out the cars
fast enough to supply the number al
cars which are wanted before winter
comes and so the order for 10 new
ones was given to the Cincinnati com
pany.
Rebuild Bridge Cars.
The fact that the Rock Island
bridge has been closed for the past
two weeks, thereby necessitating
temporary retirement of the bridge
line cars from the service, has given
the company an opportunity to do
some much needed repair work on
them. The cars are being entirely
rebuilt and three are ready for ser
vice again.
The principal change in the cars
IS in the installation of permanent
windows such as are in the Longview
and Elm street cars. and some of the
double truck cars. These windows
are made so that they can be opened
during good weather and closed dur
ing the bad without having to take
