Presideat saxon Meteor Car Company
No phase OF the motor car industry IL
moro interesting than the changed attI
tude Of bankers all over the country from
the skepticism OF few years ago to the
eager support Of today.
Everybody remembers how not 80 many
years ago bankers pretty generally were
either cutwardly antagonistlc or doubtful
about the automobile business. On the
one hand they said the motor car was
plunglng the nation into a era OF extrava-
Eance and leading people 20 take their
money out Of bankp On the other hand
many bankers usad to refer to the motor
Ger as a fad. and were afraid TO riak their
money In support Of an automobile com
pany or an automobile dealer. They
sirnpiy locked upon the motor car busl-
ness as an unsafe Investment.
Il Is only within recent times that the
bankers have reversed their old stand and
have shown both Willingness and eager
ness 70 lend financial aid to motor car
enterprises AMPLY because they CONSIDER
the automobile business as safe ali In
vestment ~ there 10 to-day.

HUGHES'S FAVOR

Atlantic City, Oct. 30.-The Mexican
members OF the MexicanAmerican

designed 70 be in the nature Of an over
ture 70 the Republican candidate,
Charles Z. Hughes. This was authori-
tatively stated tonight by an ortic'al
in close touch with the commission.
The statement assailing American
officials for laxity in dealing with Car
ranza's enemies on the border, attrio-
uted to Luis Cabrera and issued by the
Mexican News Bureau in Washington
simultaneously with the appearance OF
the Mexican commissioners at the
Roosevelt meeting, is declared 20 have
been intended as a cue TO the Repub-
licans that the First Chiefs representa-
tives were open for negotiations.
The uncompromising arraignment OF
Mexican revolutionary methods by
Colonel Roosevelt was g great sur
prise" 20 the Carranza agents, who
thought their presence would have
caused the Colonel to moderate his
terms.
