269 ELECTORAL VOTES

Woodrow Wilson was elected pres

remained IN question are Minnesota,
New Hampshire and New Mexico,
with 10 electoral votes.

be known in New Hampshire until the
Official count is completed. West vir-
gina, which was classed as doubtful
until last night, has gone definitely
for Hughes.
Unless the vote of California is di-
yidedi which now seems possible, Mr..
Wilson is assured of 269 votes in the
electoral college, three more than a
majority, and Mr.. Hughes of 243.
The president could lose three votes
from California and still have enough
to elect This loss would be Offset by

he has carried.

Maxwell Company Adds
Four New Refnelnents

Conforming strictly to the popular
demands of the automobile buying
public the Maxwell Monitor company
has added four new refinements to
the 1917 Maxwell which have al.
ready met with the approval of motor.
lists all over the country.
A Gasoline Gauge and Dash Light
have been added to the instrument
board making the dash complete in
every detail. Wider and longer seats
with deeper cushions are also fea-
ture of the new car,
/ A new departure in windshields is
shown on the new Maxwell The up
per half of the windshield overlaps the
lower half, making it absolutely rain
tight. In addition to this the glass is
fitted with shock absorbers, eliminat-
ing all vibration and possible chance
of breakage.
The most important feature is !. the
new rear Apring construction. The
three quarter elliptic principle is still
adhered to, but the scroll has been
heightened 1-2 inches, while the low
er half has been heightened to 46
inches. The material used in these
springs is much more flexible and
adds greatly to the riding qualities.
Everything has been done to satisfy
the ever-increasing demands of the
public for a low-priced car completely
equipped in every detail combined with
quality. and good-workmanship.
With the exception of a few minor
improvements, the design and mechan-
ical construction of the 1917 Maxwell
has not been changed. As far as pos
sible the car has been manufactured
strictly as a standardized product and
purchases are assured that no radical
changes will be made for several years
to come, or at least until such time as
popular opinion makes it necessary to
alter the construction of the ear.
Maxwell Service Makes Hit with
H. Owners.
'Since establishing our branch in
Portland, we have put a new and real
meaning into the word Service ;.
There is nothing so exasperating to a
motorist as to find that he cannot
secure parts for his car when he wants
them,' stated w. J. LaCasse, North
west supervisor of the Maxwell Motor
Sales Corporation, while in this city
yesterday.
"Realizing this fact, also that car
is absolutely worthless to person I'M
less he is able to replace damaged or
worn parts at once, without waiting
several weeks for parts to be shipped
from the factory, we have required
all Maxwell dealers to carry full sup
ply of parts in order to give Maxwell
owners everywhere the kind of service
they are entitled to. Any Maxwell
dealer can furnish owners with parts
Immediately. If he couldn't he
wouldn It be a Maxwell dealer" said
Mr.. LaCasse. "This is our idea of the
meaning of the word Service, and is
going to be the chief factor in the
purchase of motor cars by men who
want their moneys worth. "
"Maxwell Service is a vital part of
the Maxwell Organization and we are
daily improving it by establishing
Maxwell dealers in every city, town
and Village, in other words, spinsing
web of Maxwell Service Stations
throughout the Northwest, so that
eventually Maxwell Service Stations
will be as common and numerous as
grocery stores It's the kind OF
Service that really serves
