POLITICAL COMMENT
Charges of Extravagance.

From the Omaha Bee.
Democrats are making most Of the
charge of extravaganza against Repub-
licans as a campaign argument. ignor-
ing facts OF record. They are circulate
ing in all their literature and declaring
from the stump that the net expense
OF running the government under the
Taft administration is $l,0O0,0O0,o00 and
that II the Democrats should be intrusted
with power they would reduce the ex'
pense of government by 100000. The
fact of the matter is that with all the
tremendous. Increases in demands upon
the nationie treasury the Republicans
have conserved the resources and kept
down the expenses 20 an amazing degree,
and II any one is disposed to take seri-
ously this Democratic buneombe. let him
turn back the pages Of his political his
tory TO the end OF the last Democratic
administration and compare the condi-
ton OF the country end It's finances then
with those of the present.

Connectlcnt voters at Sea.

From the Providence Journal.
Connecticut. the latest state 10 adopt
the so-called Australian ballot, is dis
satisfied with the results of the initial
test IN the local elections OF Monday.
Probably in every town in which public
officials were chosen-that is. in 162 out
OF 16S~some ballots were rejected for
one or another reason. The voters omit
ted the cross, or made two or more
crosses. or drew a straight line through
all the circles. or used a straight line
in tho circle instead OF a cross. Voting
for more candidates than the law allows
to be voted for was also a common mis-
take, while a wrong folding of the ballot
got other voters into trouble. Altogether
some thousands Of ballots were thrown
ont as defective-enough TO swing the
State in a close election. such as that
of next month may prove to be.

ROOT WANTS
TEDDY AGAIN

NEW YORK, October 29-Summing
up in a speech in this city the politi-
cal situation as regards the presiden-
tial possibilities in 1912 Eihu Root
last night conditionally advanced
Theodore Roosevelt for a third term
Root stated that under ordinary con-
ditions such as have prevailed during
the past years of Republican admins
tration, William II. Taft would be the
logical candidate of his party for re-
election following the precedent.
He stated, however, that If the
strength of the administration was re-
duced by the results of the State and
congressional elections which are
scheduled for this year and an increos-
ing strength on the part of the party's
opponents, it would be forced to nomi-
nate Roosevelt.
Root modified his statement to the
effect that if Roosevelt could not be
nominated, a more radical man than
Taft has proved himself to be should
be chosen to lead the national ticket
in order to combine the ranks of the
Republican party into a solid front

WHY LAJOIE Gets
PRIZE CHALMERS

81 have received many queries as
to what action will be pursued in
presenting an automobile to the
champion major league batsman, in
view of the double header in st, Louis
last Sunday" says Hugh Chalmers,
donor of the prize motor car.
There is but one course open to
us. Last Spring we offered the Ma
tional Baseball Commission a Chal-
mers $50" car to be awarded to the
champion batsman of the American
and National Leagues by the commits
sion. The commission made the rules
governing the contest and will award
the car according to its official bat
ting averages. Technically speaking,
the car no longer belongs to us but
is. in reality the property of the Ma
tional Commission, by whom it must
be awarded to the man whose stand
ing is the highest in the official bat
ting averages, providing his average
was made under the rules of the COM
mission.
81, of course, deeply regret that the
closing games between Cleveland and
St. Louis should have resulted in any
action which should make question

contest for the prize motor car was

This is an increase Of more than
100 per cent
We naturally feel pleased with this
showing. Even before we announced
our 1871 models in July, we had hun
dreds OF orders on hand and we have
had a steady stream of them ever
since. We have been employing 5000
men in our factory and have been
running night as well as day We are
right now i'm the midst of an active
fall buying season. There is no other
stimulant to automobile buying like
the weather of the Indian summer
days. The time has passed anyway
when the automobile manufacturer
expects all business to drop off as
soon as cold weather comes. The
automobile is an all the-yearTound
proposition. 1t is just as useful and
useable in winter as in summer for
all practical purposes. A man doesn't
have to have a Limousine either. Be
cause with top, glass front side cur
tains and robes, any car can be used
for all ordinary purposes all through
the winter with comfort"
When asked whether his Company
was going to cut prices, Mr.. Chalmers
replied that if they did anything they
would be compelled to raise prices.
There is not enough difference in
the prices OF raw materials all the
way through, one way or the other
to justify anyone in making any cut
in prices right now, nor can l see
that there are going to be any such
conditions, said Mr.. Chalmers. But
on the other hand, labor is higher
than ever before and tires alone cost
us $50 more per car than last year.
ut is my observation that condi-
tions are not unsettled with any auto
mobile companies which have had a
settled and sane business policy all
the time. The price of any article
has tendency to seek the level of
value of that article, jus tas water
has a tendency to seek the level of
the land. No article, whether it is
automobiles, or soap, or clothing can
very long be sold at a price which
deos not justly represent the value
of the article, plus a fair profit to
the men who make and sell it.
"The man who sells an article for
less than it is really worth will soon
drive himself out of business, and
the man who sells an article for more
than it is worth will soon be driven
out of business by the public or else
driven to lower his prices.
THE Chalmers Company did it's
price cutting three years ago when it
put out what was conceded to be the
first real four cylinder five passenger
car at medium price. We announced
then that we were going to work on
a small margin of profit on each car
because we were in the business to
stay.
n; emf hrd bgkq mfgw hrd mfw
Our policy is to build cars as good
as we can, not as fast as we can. We
have studied carefully the desires of
the public and we are convinced that
the public wants good cars first of
all. We know right we'll that no one
could build a Chalmers $50" or any
car as good and market it for less
than $500 and we are willing to meet
the public and meet our competitors
ON this basis. Those companies which
have had the settled policy of giving
the greatest possible value for their
prices do not have their prices ques-
toned and do not have tocutthem."
