Chicago May 25-There will be
fewer delegate seats contested in the
republican National Convention, which
meets in the Coliseum on June 18th
than in any national convention of the
party in twenty years. With all the
9S5 delegates to the 1916 convention

So contests have been filed with Sec
rotary Reynolds, of the Republican
National Convention. Four years ago,
more than half of the delegate seats
were in dispute, and the National
Committee held hearings for more
than three weeks hearing contests.
When the committee meets June LIST
to dispose of this work it will expect
to complete it in three days.
"The adoption of the direct primary
in electing delegates to the National
Convention by large number Of
states is responsible for the great de-
crease in the number of contests he
said. "This year more than 600 of
the 9S5 delegates were chosen by di-

bigger factor in the motor car indus
try this year than ever before. All
over the country motorists see the
advantage Of buying cars from com
many that is sure to remain in bust
ness long time and is building with
the idea of permanency in view.
Such concern is the Pullman COM
pany which has followed the trend OF
popular demand for low-priced cars,
feeling that the automobile industry
has reached that state of development
where car of good quality and as
surd service could be sold at a mod
crate figure. The company has gone
after the automobile business of the
country in a big, national way and
has steadily increased it's output so as
to meet the demand assured by the
remarkable reception of its low-priced
car.

IMMENSE FACTORY

Thirteen years ago historic York,
Pa, renowned for its silk productions,
large foundries, car shops, and manu-
factries of everything from condensed
milk to church Organs, became famous
with the birth of the Pullman Motor
Car company, as the eastern metro
polls of the automobile industry. To-
dav York is the Detroit of the East"
so-called because of the wonderful de-
yelopment of the Pullman car and it's
worldwide fame.
Now word comes from York that
the Pullman Motor Car company has
outgrown its already large quarters,
is literally bullying out of its plants,
and is crying for more space-indis-
putablt evidence that it's remarkable
increase in business must appease the
law of supply and demand.
In order to meet the insistent need
of larger room, the company is con-
templating the erection OF a new, mod
ern factory on fOrty.acre tract at
Grantley. a suburb of York. Lying on
the south side of the Northern Central
railroad the site for which the COM
pany is negotiating provides railroad
facilities adequate to handle the large
shipments of Pullman cars which go
forth from York every working day
of the year. That it will be plant
modern in every respect, even exceed
ing in size as we'll as surprising the
most up-to-dateness in equipment OF
any factories east of Detroit was in
dictated by Carlton l.. HOff, president
OF the company.
In connection with the news that
large quarters and increased faclll-
ties, and in the light of the increasing
inheritance which automobile buyers
attach to the financial resources and
stability of the manufacturer, the lat
est annual report OF the Pullman COM
pany is interesting.
An analysis of the report shows
that The year 1915 produced in sales an
increase of 500 per cent over the prev
ious wear. which had up to that time
set the high mark.
This consideration of financial
soundness and stability is all the more
significant when it is realized how
many automobile makers have sprung
up in the industry only to go out OF
existence again. OF the different
makes Of cars registered in Minnesota,
for instance, in 1915, about 70 per
cent were what were known as or
phans." In other words. the builders
OF these cars have gone out OF the
business of making automobiles. be
cause of the experience of many buy
ers with concerns Of this kind. greater
care is being exercised in choosing
and the strength, the length of time
in business and other factors are
taken into account.
Registration figures in every state

that of Minnesota, with little variation

tightly. He smiled almost constantly
during his examination, but appeared
resigned and not defiant.
The dentist commenced his life
story by recalling that as child he
was cruel to animals. He yawned as
he told of Sinking home work in his
school days. Then he recounted how
he stole examination papers, copied
from papers of his classmates, stole
from everyone with whom he worked
as a boy, and then robbed his frater-
nifty brothers, while attending the
University of Michigan at Ann Arbor.
His face flushed as he recounted
some of the escapades of his student
days. His total thefts during his
freshman year at college amounted
to about $500, he said. He was ex-
PEELED from his fraternity while a
sophomore for stealing, but was re-

After leaving college, he told of a

his living By cheating at pool.
