VIII Find Wilson Hard to Beat.

Republicans will need their best
man to beat Woodrow Wilson It will
never do for them to undervalue his
fighting power. A Republican United
States senator from the West recent
ly stated the blunt truth when he said
that Wilson is today million votes
stronger than the Democratic party.
One would believe this If he mag
ined Wilson out OF the race and any
other Democrat nominated at ST.
Louis. It would mean Republican
walk-oVer. But there will be none
with Wilson at the head of the Demo
cratic ticket.-New York Evening
Post.

what is the horsepower of the Max
well. Read the big advertisement and
its horsepower elsewhere in this is
sue. The Maxwell's heavy motor
will take the car and its load over

satisfy prospective owners. Those
who now own and drive them say they
have horsepower in plenty and the
best cooling system of them all
