Gov. Stubs Submits Message Urging

beat the Candidates that Wail-st.

Legislators adopt the laws to which
Senator LaFollette referred as the
means by which Wallst. may be beat
en-initiative and referendum and re-
call the election OF delegates to the
national convention at the primary
election.
Il demand" the message read THAT
you amend the primary election law
so that delegates to the national con-

election and that the names OF the
candidates for president and vice-pres-

Does advertising add or de-
tract from the worth of the
PEERLESS AUTOMOBILE?
We could mention hundreds of
other products of the highest
grade, whose prices have become
standard in keeping with their
quality. These products have
been ADVERTISED EXTEN-
SIVELY, but the cost of adver-
Using was not added to the
prices set upon them nor have
the goods been cheapened to
take care of the advertising.
ADVERTISING, by creating
a wider market for high-grade
products, has the opposite ten
dency in relation to price.
This has been proved so con-
clusively in so many instances
that it is hardly worth while
treating the subject exhaustive
ly now.
