These wonderful pictures we're taken

consist of more than 10000 feet of
film showing the complete construc-

No matter whether the spectator is
vitally interested in a motor car at this

That he believed it his duty as ma

resolution which woaId place the dues
tion of woman suffrage before various
States for their rejection or ratification
was the assertion today of Representa-
tive Thomas w. Miller, speaking to a
delegation of the Delaware convention of
the Congressional Union in the rose room
of the Hotel DUPONT. Should such a
resolution come up in Congress, Con
gresham Miller d Jared, it was his
present intention to vote for it, but that
such action does not mean that he would
exert himself outside Of his duties as a
member of Congress.
"This is not to be construed as a
pledge or a promise, but as my position
ON the subject today" said Mr.. Miller.

the future make a pledge governing my
action as member of Congress, believ-
ing that the functions of member de-
mand that he be unhampered by such a

Congressman Miller's address to the
suffragists, which he had written in
advance, was loudly applauded byethe
assemblages of suffraMsts who crowd

Representative Miller's address on be-

thanked the Congressman for his an

in his power to have such a resolution

band, marched from their headquar-

Congressman Miller.
"The wheels of governmental legis-

the Congressman, "are arbitrary to
