GOV. WILSON IN ROLE
OF LEXICOGRAPHER

Philadelphia, Sept. 12.-Governor
Woodrow Wilson, while travelling
from Atlantic City to Jersey City drew
the distinction between a campaign
tour" and "trip" Earlier in the
campaign the governor had announce
ed that he would make no speaking
tour of the country, but would fill n
number of engagements on particular
occasions"
"The difference" said the candi-
date, ''is that a tour means a sweep
OF an entire section of the country
while a trip simply is going to n GER
tain place or number of places and
coming back home again. 1t is just
like a baseball game. / take a trip
around the bases and step up to the
plate again after little rest and
tmake some more runs. 1t isn't like
track meet where you are running
around all the time That's a tour"
The governor said that when he re-
turned from his first western trip on
September % he would rest few
days and start on another. He plans
to make one trip every week until
the end of the campaign. His first
western trip is to begin September
II and will end at Scranton, Pa. The
next day the governor will go to his
home at Princeton to vote in the New
Jersey primaries for United States
! senator.

IDAHO WOMEN FORM
PARTY OF VERY OWN

Boise Idaho, Sept. 12.-Declaring
they were tired Of the continual
wrangling and fighting by the men of
the republican party of Idaho, the
women members of that party an
nounced last night their complete sew
erance from the men and declared
they would place a ticket of their own
in the field. Until their plans are
perfected the women who are leading
the organization of the new women's
party refuse to allow their names to
be used
According to information last night
a call will be issued today for a state
convention, to be held in Boise the
latter part of this week The women
said their action in putting a ticket
of their own in the field was the only
way out of the disagreeable fight now
being waged by the men within the
party.
A complete state ticket will be nam
ed from governor down, and only wo-
men will be nominated. 1t is under
stood the women already have held
several meetings at which candidates
for the various offices have been dis
cussed. The women. however, are
keeping their plans under cover and
say they will not announce what ac-
tion they have taken until their or
ganiZation Is complete.

Salesman Must Be Different

Selling electrics calls for a higher order

eouaIy interested in the selling of both

81 do not mean by this to disparage in
any way the clever men who have made
. success at marketing gasoline cars. and
nerHaus | should modify the statement
and say ii calls for a different order Of
saIesmanship.
selling eectrics calls for more finesse
and what might be termed forceful con-
servatism.
BY that. / mean that one must know
and acknowledge the limitations as well
as the great advantages of the electric
I find the gasoline salesman when trying

IT'S not desirable in this type of car He

And as for hill-climbing, why, good
electric will climb anything grades the
most powerful gasoline car could not
make But there's no fuss about the way
an electric does it. Deliberately but
steadily and surely it ascends the steep
est grades and the absence of noise and
smoke rather disconcerts the gasoline
bug There's no evidence of the irresisti-
bic power that's bottled up within.
81 would say that the selling of an cleo

cess than selling gasoline cars But it is

This is a case where little technical
