y IS said that even members Of
tne democratic convention were dis
appointed because no one offered a
resolution emoodying the Expo
nents conception OF what a splendid
mayor Frank R, Moore is. The Ex-
ponent has given him unstin.ed
praise fully deserved however. r

cause it did not know what it was
talking about. Everybody knew that
but it is strange the Exponent would
admit it.

About this time last year the
chairman Of the Democratic city con.
yentlon last night was escorting Ed
ward W. Mills to hotel to have a
conference with him. But. MIR. Mills
was not q guest or conferee Of the
chairman last night. There was a
reason.

The chairman OF the Democratic
convention had he known the po-
lltical complexion of the city con
vention Friday night would never
have entertained the motion that
fifty-one votes be necessary to a
choice, as our Democratic friends,
it appears, would have had to count
noses twice before they could have
announced the required number.

While the motion to dispense with
the usual committees precluded the
adoption Of resolutions at the Dem
ocratic city convention, its nominee
did not let the opportunity pass to
say good word for the present
Republican administration. 1t was
a proper rebuke at the proper time.

Little wonder that ii made such a
miserable job of it.

Mayor Frank R. Moore doubtless
appreciates the fact that Camden
Sommers, delegate to The Demo-
cratic city convention, plainly gave
the convention to understand that
clarkaburg has an excellent mayor.
1t was a cue for an endorsement OF
Mayor Moore hut the convention
was so lifeless that it failed to
grasp the idea.

- A False Premise.
Prof Henry S. Green, OF The de-
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1911-09-28
CONGRESSMAN GREEN
WAS ENTITLED TO CHECK
Which lie Refused To Accept And
Turned Back Into The
Treasury.

When Congressman Green returned
home from Washington a month ago,
we called attention to the fact that he
turned a big pay check back into the
treasury covering the time between the
resignation of Hon. Walter |. Smith and
the time of his resignation as Judge of
the District Court and we also stated
that he was entitled to the check ac-
cording TO both the law and the custom.
In recent issue of the Audubon Ad-
vocate the editor tried to belittle the
incident and claimed that when Judge
Green returned the check, he was Civ
ing back something to which he was in
nowise entitled. We call attention to
this matter now for the purpose of quot
ing the law governing this question
which may be found in Section 81, Title
q, Chapter of the United States
Statutes. and reads as follows:
Whenever vacancy occurs in either
House of Congress, by death or other
wise, of any member or delegate elected
or appointed thereto after the com
mencement of the Congress to which he
has been elected or appointed, the per
son elected or appointed to fill it shall
be compensated and paid from the time
that the compensation of his predecessor
ceased.
1t was under this law that the demo
cratic Sergeant-atarms of the House
issued the check to Judge Green and to
which he was legally entitled. If not
legal why did the democratic official
issue the check?

Automobile Agents Entertained At Detroit Michigan

the factory was another one of those
great ideas of w. Il. Flanders, who has
revolutionized the industry with his
great ideas, principally the one of MAX
ing an automobile of the high standard
that EMF and Flanders cars have at
tanned, and there certainly was not an
agent in the factory who could go away
with any other idea than that in his
head. On Tuesday the party was en-
tertained in the afternoon by an auto
mobile ride along the lake and later on
in the evening to fine banquet. where
Mr.. Flanders, Smith, Pelletier and
Others made interesting talks to the
dealers on subjects that all were inter
ested in.
One thing can be said of the Stude-
baker Corporation, that it is without
doubt one the greatest large hearted
corporations in existence today. Unlike
50 many corporations of today that deal
only in dollars and cents, every dealer,
every employee, every purchaser of one
of their cars finds that it has a soul that
is just and fair to all. 1t takes gen
uine interest in all the employees and
in their doings and troubles. Ii is pro-
badly due TO the large hearted Mr.
Flanders who has made that his bust
ness policy, believing that his interests
are identical with that of his employees.
that they are all partners in his business
and that the interests OF both are best
served by working together, and all
together sharing in the profits. None
ever left the employ of the company but
felt and knew that he had always been
justly treated
On Tuesday night after the banquet
the party returned to their special train
and arrived in Des Moines Wednesday
night.

Chas. B. Elliott local agent for the
EMF 80 and the Flanders 800 au-
tomobiles, returned last week, Thursday
from four-day trip to the factories at
Detroit. Some eighty agents from
South Dakota and about the same num-
Der from Iowa, were the guests of w.
f.. Flanders, head of the Studebaker
Corporation.
The South Dakota agents left Sioux
Falls on September 18th on special
train provided for them by the company
The train from Des Moines, Iowa, con
sisted of six Pullman sleepers, two
diners, buffet car and baggage car.
At Detroit the party was met by fifty
automobiles from the factory and taken
to one of the leading hotels for break
fast, after which they visited Plant No.
3 of the EMF factories. Plant No. 3
is the factory at which 10000 Flanders
go" automobiles will be built this year
In the afternoon the entire party were
taken up the beautiful Lake st. Claire
on chartered steamer. Later that
night they were entertained at a delight
full dinner at the Hotel Pontchartrain,
and later at one of the theatres. On
Tuesday the party inspected Plant No.
of the EMF factories, where some
10000 EMF '30's' will be built this
year. Practically every one of the
party wished sincerely that they could
spend month at the factories, for it
would take almost that time to see the
entire ten factories.
Mr.. Elliott says that he saw automo-
biles as he had never hoped to see them,
and if the prospective purchasers of an
automobile could only see the wonder
fully thorough manner in which EMF
and Flanders cars were built they GER
tainly would not choose any other car.
With the EMF Company the process
is something more than the mere putting
together of the parts The parts in
every branch of the factories must be
made with absolute accuracy and back
of it all the materials must be of the
very highest standard. 1t is the proud
boast of the Studebaker Company that
the EMF $50" and the Flanders $50"
cars begin in the laboratory, where the
raw materials are tested before being
used. And Mr. Flanders, the wizard of
the automobile industry, is taking all
of his 1000 agents to the home factory
to show them of just what and just
how his cars are made.
The party saw the process from start
to finish. Starting at the laboratory
they saw the raw material tested; they
saw the moulds being made; they saw
the great foundry where the molten
metal was poured into these moulds
and the castings made; then into the
forging department where the massive
twenty five ton hammers are doing their
mighty work fashioning the drop steel
g. NH. a,
even to the lamp brackets. Here, too,
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1911-09-28

they saw the forging of the front axle.
The immensely of the machinery de-
partment made them stare, for the work
of these wonderful machines was posi-
lively uncanny. Multiple spindle drills
bore as high as seventeen holes at one
operation while others bore, ream and
mill the cylinders and other parts with
absolute accuracy All the balls, nuts,
cones, screws and bushings are made
by automatic machines which need no
other attention than to be fed the raw
materials. Next the party was con-
Quoted 10 where the big steel stamping
presses were at work turning out and
shaping bodies and seats. Then the
assembling rooms of the company drew
the interest of the party as they watch
ed the process of building the ears from
the myriads or parts which make up
the whole. One set of men, and every
man was an expert, set up the frame
and put it on wheels; another erected
the motor. The steering posts, dust
pan and other parts followed until the
chassis is completed and ready for the
inspector the man who finds fault with
the slightest imperfection. The careful
inspection that every part received be-
IOIt IL WAS Nt1I W IlIt dNStIiliJllIlS TOOlllS
was noteworthy, and again here the
same care and thoroughness with which
every detail was watched and every
different operation inspected and cor
rected. Later the car was sent to the
men who tested them; where the car is
driven miles over rough country roads
After being thoroughly tested the cars
We're turned over for final assembling,
where the tenders We're put on, the
lamps, body, top and windshield added
and the car stood completed.
None could competently describe the
interesting process of constructing a
car. There are so many, many things
to tell about it that one almost gets lost
in the maze, when trying to see it with
his own eyes. When you stop to con-
slider that there are eight active factories,
everyone of them great institutions, in
Detroit that there is another at Port
Huron where the wonderful EMF car
buretors are made and on Saturday last
the Studebal1er Corporation purchased
another great building near their plant
that contains 10000 square feet of
floor space. This new addition will be
a part of plant No. | where the E M-F
''30's' are made. The EMF factories,
all told, cover fifty acres of ground and
employ in the factories 5000 people. One
Thousand more will be employed when
the new addition is fitted out with
machinery and the increase of the pro-
duct in EMF go" cars will be 1900
cars. The EMF factories are without
a single doubt the largest factories in
the world, employing the largest num-
Der of people and with the greatest
output.

Funeral OF Mrs. L. M. Estes.

Word was received here last of the
week that Mrs. l.. Nj. Estes had passed
away at their home in Montana after an
illness of seven weeks. Her bereaved
husband arrived in Audubon with the
remains on Monday morning and the
funeral was held at the Methodist
church at O'Clock. Mr.. Estes left
yesterday to return to his home to give
care and comfort TO the motherless
children, the youngest of whom is
thirteen years of age. The following
obituary has been furnished for publ
cation:
Carrie A. Newell was born near Gait,
Canada, September 30. 1860 and departed
this life at Moore, Montana, September
Goth, 1911, aged so years, IL months
and 20 days. On January 10Th, 1884,
she was united in marriage with l.. M.
Estes and to this union were born five
children all of whom were present at
her bedside when she passed away.
When quite young she was converted
to God and united with the M. Il.
church. When she moved to Gray, Iowa,
she renewed her VOW and united with
the church at that place, but afterward
transferred her membership to Bethel
NJ. E. church in Melville township.
When the family moved west in 1910
she again transferred her membership
to the NJ E. church in Moore, Montana.
She was faithful and devoted christian
and Jealous worker in the Sunday
school and aid society. A beautiful
life has closed on earth, but her in
fiuence for good will linger with all who
knew her. A sorrowing husband, three
sons and two daughters, two brothers
and two sisters with a large circle of
friends and acquaintance mourn the
going away of a kind companion, a low
ing mother and friend to everyone.
Funeral from the First M. E. church
Monday afternoon at o'clock conduct
ed by Rev. j. II. Freedline. Interment

About The Recall.

And now the tinker statesmen in
forum and in hall are telling us our
safety depends on the recall. If any
man in office to monkey should begin
we simply rise and dump him, and put
another in. And we, the sovereign
people, in whom all virtue lies, shall
hold the seat of judgment deciding
what is wise. Should any man displease
us or stir our bile or gall, Wen take his
trail and scalp him-our weapon the
recall. If one is independent and shines
at our advice, we'll go upon the war
path and put him upon the ice. just
as men went to Lincoln, to threaten,
plead and rant; and this was their am
bition-to get the goat of Grant. He
drinks" one pilgrim shouted, "and so
his head should fall. He smokes" an
other thundeled intent on the recall.
Said Lincoln sad and sombre: I've
heard that bill of news. l wish the
other soldiers would drink Grants kind
of booze" Herein there lies moral OF
use to one and all when noisy tinker
statesmen insist ON the recall. Walt
Mason.

CANADIAN RECIPROCITY
is DEAD AND BURIED
The Liberal Government, Which
Espoused Reciprocity Has
Suffered A Disastrous
Defeat.

After most bitter campaign before
the people, the voters of Canada have
defeated reciprocity with the United
States by tremendous majority. The
Liberals had majority of 43 in the
lower house of Parliament. Now the
Conservatives have a majority of so
against the reciprocity agreement.
Sometimes we think we have pretty
hot campaigns in the States, but they
are very mild compared with those
among the English people. When the
Britishers and the Canucks get steamed
up they blow mighty loud whistle.
Demagogues get in their work in
Canada Just the same as elsewhere.
Many times the voters are duped just
the same as they are in our own country.
Many things entered into the recipro-
city campaign. They claimed it was
but the beginning for annexation and
domination by the United States. The
break made by Champ Clark early in
the campaign concerning annexation
was a strong weapon in the hands of
the opponents Those in favor of the
pact appealed for support on economic
grounds; those against appealed more
strongly to sentimental considerations
The city of Winnipeg made winning
appeal in q business way by map
showing that all the railroads center in
Minneapolis and under it printed the
following statement in big letters
Instead of more mills and greater
mills at Winnipeg and other Canadian
towns and cities, our wheat and other
products will be shipped south over
American railways, employing Ameri-
can labor to be manufactured in Ameri-
can mills, in American cities, by Ameri-
can millers, to be then exported over
American railways and in American
vessels, from American ports, to pre-
cisely the same markets as our wheat,
flour and other products are now ex-
ported, and will deprive Canadian rail
ways, mills and their employees, and
Canadian banks, insurance companies,
merchants and Canadian ports and
shipping of vast amount of business
originating on Canadian soil.
Canadian Reciprocity is dead and
buried for many years to come. The
Insurgents hollered for it during the
last ten years. When it was offered
they tried to kill it. The Canadians
have finished the job and we are glad of
it. Some issues and some people are
better dead than alive. Many farmers
who feared the outcome are elated over
the result. The political atmosphere
has been cleared of much that promised
serious trouble. The republicans are
iubilant and look forward to the coming
campaign with much interest.

The Manufacture OF Automobiles.

Chas. B. Elliott returns from Detroit,
Michigan, highly pleased with his trip.
The special train from Des Moines
carried seventy-five agents from Iowa
and like number from South Dakota.
When they got aboard the manager told
them to throw their pocket books out
OF the window as they wouldn't need
them until they got back Mr.. Elliott
says Detroit is up to its reputation of
being one of the most beautiful cities in
the country. The Studebaker Corpora
ton has eight factories, employs nine
thousand men, and its output per day
is IS EMF Cars and 100 Flanders
The invention, development, manufac-
ture and sale of automobiles is the won
der of the age because of the large in
vestment and the magnitude of its oper-
ations. Mr.. Elliott says his company
is inviting all its agents in the same way
from all the states and intends to do
so once year.

say much about it, Mr.. Chas. Bagley
showed us through his new residence ON

pletion. The building is simple in
design, commodious in size, convenient
in arrangement, artistic in finish and
modern in equipment. The work has
been done by the day under Mr.. Bag

been given the most careful construction
both as to material and workmanship
Their friends are hoping they may live
