Tucker Candidate For Auditor
II. A. Tucker is candidate for

stands firmly for these strong pillars
OF greatness. Blindness will not pre-

MAKES ALTITUDE RECORD
TOMBSTONE WINS HIGH MARK
 AMID STOR,t CLOUDS.
Wheels Upward Through Blasts of Seet and Snow to 1908 Feet and
 Suffers From Cold.

New York, Oct. 27-Twelve thou sand people. of whom 2,000 at least are notable in American life, saw Ralph Johnstone take to the sky in a Wright biplane at Belmont park in tent on capturing the American rec ord for altitude and possibly smashing the worlds record.
 They saw him an hour and ten min utes later emerge from leaden sky hung with mist, and two hours after ward he had come to the ground with the little barograph machine regis tering his triumph. It showed that he had gone up 1908 feet and snatched from J. Armstrong Drexel, the mil lionaire aviator, the American alti tude championship that the young sportsman had won only 24 hours pre- viously when he made a flight of 7,105 feet. The worlds altitude record is 91S6 feet.
 Not only had Johnstone risked his life in his wonderful feat, but he had gone through severe physical suffer ing to attain the triumph. He had sent his biplane hurling upward through storms of sleet that lashed and cut his face, and still upward until he had passed through areas of thick, feathering snow, and finally got into space so bitterly cold that feet and hands were numb and the moisture on his glasses froze into an opaque mass and blinded him. His motor was working perfectly all the time, however, and he said when he returned from his thrilling journey to earth solely on account of the Arctic cold
