Clark, Former Senator,
Sees Democrats Chance

Former Senator W. A. Clark of Mon
tana has given out an interview in
London in which he declares that all
that is needed to put business condi-
tons in America into healthy shape is
for Congress to stop shouting and ad-
3ourn. He said business had been toe
much afflicted with politics, and there
had been too many demagogues in high
places.
He thinks the star of the Democrats is
In the ascendant and predicts the Dem
ocrats will elect the next President and
control both branches of Congress.
He hopes the Democrats will see their
opportunity and nominate a sane and
conservative man.

GOOD ROADS PARTY
WILL BOOST CAUSE
THROUGH VIRGINIA
Motorists, in Three Cars,
Leave Capital for
'4f Richmond.
SEVERAL OFFICIALS.
ARE MAKING TRIP
Hoped to Stir Greater Enthusiasm
for Better High
ways.
By HARRY WARD.

An automobile inspection tour that
promises to have a far-reaching effect
on the good roads movement in Vir-
ginta, began today, when Vice Presi-
dent Sherman gave the signal to start
three cars on their way to the Virginia
capital. The Vice President, who is
an honorary chairman of the Touring
Club of America, under whose auspices
the tour is being given, has takenVa a
deep interest in the good roads move
ment. The party is composed of several
Government and State good roads Of
ncials, members Of the touring club and
newspaper men. A Packard, a Velie,
and Buick are being used to convey
the good roads boosters Frederick H
Elliott, secretary of the touring club,
Automobile Blue Book, are in charge
of the tour.
The start was made from the Colorado
building, in which the Washington
quarters, and was Witnessed by a large
number of motorists, who hope to see
the good roads movement spread all
over Virginia. The run today will be
TO Orange, frequent stops being made
en- route to work up enthusiasm in the
movement. There seems to be no doubt
in the minds of the men who are behind
the tour, that the route to be traYersed
on the tWo-day trip to Richmond Will
he the connecting link between New
York and Palm Beach. For this reason
much care in the selection of the route
has been taken.
Three thousand three hundred miles
IN a Pierce-Arrow automobile since
June Is, is the record made by a party
of Dallas, Tex, people who arrived here
Saturday. Those in the party were
Mrs. G. T. Hale. Miss Inez Thomas,
Miss Ethel Schluter, Edward Thomas,
and Moss Thomas. Since leaving Dali
las the party has visited Galveston
Tex, St Louis, Cincinnati and Phila-
delphia, and many other cities The
car was new when the trip began, and
the party has experienced no difficult
ties in making the trip. The motorists
left today for Baltimore, and before
returning to Texas expect to go through
the New England States. When the
trip is over the party expects to havo
covered a distance of 10000 miles.
