Senator William e. Chiffon is not
bothering about another term in the
United States Senate. That Is what
he told a mammoth gathering Of the
toilers at Charleston on Labor Day.
That he had a set project for the
present term, which he hoped to see
accomplished before the six years
rolled around, he. admitted. It Is to
enlist the Federal Government in the
undertaking Of constructing national
highway from the birthplace Of Abra-
ham Lincoln in old Kentucky, through
West Virginia, to the capital at Wash
ington. Frequently there have been
suggestions of the construction of
monuments and highways to the men,
ory of the gigantic figure of 60 years
ago, but the suggestion of the West
Virginia Senator is an original one
and he is inclined to believe that the
Federal Congress will approve of the
plan. Senator Chiffon believes that
1T would not only be a monument to the
memory of the martyred President,
but would be Of material benefit to
West Virginia and Kentucky.

representative at Washington for there
be many who believe that James An

not again be a candidate for Congress.

Charles T. Jeffery, head of the

as Rambler sales are concerned, by
taking a sales census among Rambler
dealers for limited period during
1910.
Four hundred sales, made during
this period, were reported as soon as
! consummated, and as they came from
widely sepa ated sections of the coun-

Among the merchants there are men

There have lately been two exceed
ingly satisfactory economy tests of
what properly equipped automobile
can do. The first was the trip of A.
l.. Westgard's party, of the Touring
Club of America, from New York
City to San Francisco. Taking a
southern course, Westgard mapped
out transcontinental tourists route
of 1900 miles. The economy of trans
portation demonstrated the feasible
ity of such journey for pleasure.
The repairs and requirements for the
machine, Premier, were practically
nothing. More than that, the original
Goodrich tire equipment carried the
heavy load Of 400 pounds straight
through from New York to San Fran
cisco. And two of the tires still had
New York air in them at the end of
the trip. .s
This tire test was particularly not
able, for it showed how much rei-
ance can be placed in this most i'm
portant accessory.

The outlook for spring looks very
bright to us. We did not originally
plan to build many more cars this year
than last, as it has never been our
policy to see how many cars we could
build. Hence our dealers expect the
usual shortage of Chalmers cars about
top speed in the factory so that those
who have ordered for early spring de-
