THE great thing is TO preserve the

such moment can fail To give all that
no has. either Of strength or Of ability.
toward that end and l might add the
strength of no one man alone can win
this night. The ticket proposed would
bring together A union that ought to
prove irresistible. I am more than
willing to do my share.
1T is no time for the drawing OF
party lines When the common pur-
pose is to elect government that will
administer the affairs of the city with
out regard to partisan politics and that
will accept and carry forward the non

matters little whether We happen 70 be

Charles l.. Craig. an attorney, living at
No 100 Riverside Drive, told a jury and

TO Danbury in his new automobile in July,
1912. Then he took a seat i'm the court
Dom and listened to Frederick NJ. Schaff-
ner. an automobile expert, say harsh
things about the car.
Mr. Craig was complainant against
Herbert s. Cole. an automobile dealer,
whom he had arrested for grand larceny
because Cole sold him the car. Mr. Craig
testified that Cole and his partner told
him the car. big seven passenger affair,
was OF the 1910 model-in fact, was built
in the latter part Of 1910 TO sell for the
1911 trade-and TO get II for $3.50 was
like stealing it. Mr.. Craig made deposit
Of 500 and started for a trial spin TO Dan
bury.
After a short delay necessitated by
need Of new inner tube Mr.. Craig,
friend and the chauffeur furnished by
Cole and his partner got under way for
Danbury. After crossing the city line
there was a stop to fix a loose brake rod.
A little later there was a puncture. Half
way up the hill leading into Greenwich
the car hesitated, sighed and came to a
full stop.
II went back down the hill almost per-
fectly. After returning some distance
along the level road they got running
start and negotiated the hill. At the
summit, however, IT was necessary to
stop to let the engine cool. Before reach
ing Danbury there was another stop to
enable the chauffeur to remove a lot Of
loose leather from the clutch. He also
cleaned the clutch with gasoene.
The car started on the return trip brave
ly and reached Katonah without a mis-
hap. Then 1t stopped, and the chauffeur
suggested gasolene. Mr.. Craig said that
there were twenty-six gallons in the tank
when they left New York. and that ten
