Democrats assembled here at the
opening OF the week were gloomy br-
cause the Republicans had named
Hughes. whom they regard as great
vote Retter. and because Roosevelt will
not head n third ticket.

Of disa Election with the Administra-
ton.
To some extent this gloom and apathy
have been dispclled. SO far as Demo-
Gratis who attended the convention are
concerned
Glynn Speech "Punchy."
Glynn's speech MS temporary chair
man. amounting to a defense Of the
President for keeping the country out
OF the war. and at the same time with
punch" and aggression in (. has done
much to hearten the delegates.
Most Of them go home with their
fighting clothes on" though there Is
deep seated resentment in the national
committee because of the absolute
domination OF the convention from
Washington. and the disposition of the
President and his lieutenants to treat
the old wheel horses as ciphers.
The plank aimed at German Amcri-
cans is regarded by the ablest politicians
in the party as ill-advised from a polit-
icol standpoint, ana likely to cost more
votes than II will gain.
Broadly, the Democratic campaign
will advocate a pacific diplomacy, with
resort to force only In extremes.
The Republican campaign will advo-
cate a policy of yigor and force, but
peaceful save when rights are invaded.
1t Is guess which will most appeal
to the voters, and much will depend ON
how Wilson and Hughes as personalities
strike the voters.

Ran Close TO Schedule.
Looking back over the two conventions
one recalls q tameness about both, In
Chicago Il was practically forcordained
that Hughes would be the nominee. The
bosses didn't want him. The delegates
were hand-picked and chiefly interested
In stopping Roosevelt. The 'favorite
sons" couldn't agree on a substitute
candidate. The methodical nomination
OF Hughes followed. There was some
cheering.
In 81. Louis there was never a chance
for the slightest deviation from the
program. Nothing happened to justify
a newspaper extra. Nothing occurred
to startle the man who is always hoping
to see something out OF the ordinary.
Everything took place as prearransed.

Why We Give Them

We add these extras to help impress
you with how much we save by efficiency.
We quote you a price which is much
below other cars of this size, grade and
power. Then we add these many costly
features. The total result reveals Mr..
Bates genius in a most dramatic way.
All this extra value Is due to this model
efficiency plant which Mr.. Bate created.

other example of Bate-method efficiency.
The Mitchell Greed
We believe that efficiency is going to
decide the cars that rule Motordom. We
have believed it for many years.
We induced John w. Bate, the eff
cheney engineer, to join Us for that
reason. And we gave him free hand in
this plant and this car.
This year, for the first time, we an
nounce the result. Mr.. Bates work is
now done. He has created car which
the greatest engineers applaud. Dozens
of them-men of nationwide fame
have bought it for themselves. He has
cut our factory costs in two.
When you see the results of other
mems efforts, come and see Mr.. Bates.
See what efficiency, when made fine
art, means in a motor car.
Nothing you like in other cars is found
lacking in Mitchell Many things you
want are found here alone.
Come and confirm this. See IL we
are wrong or right. The verdict will
be left to you when you investigate.
