The regular republicans maintained
firm hold upon the situation during
several votes on important features.
Notwithstanding the fact that the in.

votes on several occasions. More
was accomplished during the closing
hours of the session than in any one
week during the three months the
bill has been the pending business.
Not until 3 o'clock was anything
done beyond listening to discussion
OF the measure. but when at that time
Senator La Toilette concluded his
two days speech in opposition to the
bill the voting proceeded RAPIDLY.

The PledSuYeOf
AutonObi1ing

Years ago, when the Automobile
was in its experimental stage, the
comic papers made great capital of the
forced stops on the road. Their car
toons depicted the driver underneath
the car-and the whole industry and
its output was looked upon merely as
passing fad. Time changes all
things. The Auto is now a perfect
piece of mechanism. 1t is popular
not because it is the sport of the we'll
TODD, but because is the case with
our line of cars-it supplies the man
of moderate means with a car with
which he can cover any distance in
the shortest time at the smallest ex-
pense. 1t would be idle to dwell long
er on this subject of automobiling.
If you really care for that sort of
thing, we will mention the fact that
some of the finest pieces of descriptive
literature published within the last
two years have been devoted to des-
criptions of automobile trips. Dozens
of articles, novels, short stories, etc.,
have owed their popularity to the fact
that their subjects are based upon the
delights of automobiling.

An IndeScrib-
able Pleasure

The man or woman who has not
enjoyed that peculiar thing which the
individual ownership of an automobile
can give (namely: The absolute con-
troll of his speed and direction,) can
not begin to appreciate what it is to
own ones own car; to go and come as
one pleases; to go slow or fast as one
chooses; and to return safely after a
delightful Journey at but fraction Of
what a similar trip would cost, by
railroad or other traction lines. Sup
pose, for Instance, you owned good
reliable car. Your initial investment
is small, your upkeep expense to light
to mention, the car itself takes but
little room and you can easily accom-
modate it in almost any environment.
There is no time more delightful than
the early morning, no matter what
season of the year. Let us suppose it
is the autumn landscape and falling
leaves that attract you. You enter
your car; two quick moves apply the
power and you are off FREE. Free
to go as you will; free to go as far as
you choose; free to return when you
like; free to take the nearest alluring
by-paths in some UNEMPLOYED country
where the lengthening vistas call to
you; free to lose yourself in the heart
of nature, unmindful of anything but
the JOY of the winding road; free, if
you like, to forget the call of appetite
unless mayhap, white painted farm
house suggests the delights of the
housewives pantry; and above all,
free in sense that you are absolutely
in control of where you shall so and
what you shall do.

state of perfection, and it is only through
this means that the company has been able
to build the best 81, $50 car in America.

To Run Your Own Car
An Added Joy

That is the supreme delight Of
automobiling, so that you require no
third person to manipulate your car,
no expert mechanic to see that the
car runs right just you and the ones
you care to take with you out on the
open road drinking in all natures de-
lights and taking your choice of only
those which appeal to you. Thous-
ands of words on this alluring subject
would be less convincing than single
ride in the car in which we are en-
deavoring to interest you. In the
territory we cover we have a lot of
competition some which we do not
recognize, some which is worthy,
some which is one might say foolish
but in the matter of an individual car
which the owner himself can drive to
his entire satisfaction, which he can
feel is absolutely under his control at
all times and under all conditions, that

The Excellence of the SIX

Argument on the six cylinder proposition
is unnecessary with anyone who has ridden
in Rider-Lewis Six and watched it's in
slant response to the slightest movement
of the throttle. 1t is like the switching
of whip over high bred horse. You're
off at once. 1t matters not whether the
roads be level or hilly, whether you drive
through city or country, an ease of control
distinguishes Rider-Lewis Sizes -Four
things are necessary in the making of a
good motor car strength, light weight,
power and smooth action. The acme of
each is found in the Excellent Six.
