RECORD LIKELY TO BE HELD
George Washington the only candl-
date for President Who Received a
Solid Electoral Vote.

The first election Of Washington as
president was held on the first Wednes-
day Of January, 1889, the Constitution
having been ratified on the twenty-frst
of June preceding. There was no pop
ular election, the electors Of all the
states that participated being chosen
by the state legislatures, as the Constl-
tuition permitted. Rhode island and
North Carolina had not yet ratified the
Constitution and did not choose cleo
tors. In New York a contest arose
that prevented choice of electors,
and the three states OF Rhode Island,
North Carolina and New York took no
part in the first presidential election.
At that time the electors did not vote
separately for president and vice pre'A.
dent, but each one voted for two m en-
for president and the one receiving
the highest number of electoral votes
became president and the next high
est vice president. Only ten states
took part in the election, viz: New
Hampshire, Massachusetts,, Connecti-
cut, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Della
ware, Maryland, Virginia, South Caro-
lima and Georgia. These ten states
then had 60 electoral votesl Of which
Washington received 60, john Adams
"a, and 80 were scattering. BY this
vote Washington became president and
Adams vice president. In the second
election (1792) 10 states had 1872 elec-i
toral votes and Washington received
all, Adams II and 55 were scattering.
The case Of a nearly solid el lectoral vote
for president was in 1920, ,ehen James
Monroe was elected for a second term.
At that time there were "a states. with
232 electoral votes. The vote Of the
electoral college was: James Monroe,
231; John Quincy Adams, 1. The eight
electors from New Hampshire, like all
those from other states. had been
chosen as Monroe men, Dut one elector
voted for John Quincy Adams, because.
as he said, he was unwilling that any |
other president than Washington
should receive a unanimous electoral
vote. BY casting one vote against
Monroe out of total Of 231 he made
the solid electoral vote for Washington
unique.

BIG MOTOR PLANT is
DESCRIBED BY merrill

j. j. Merrill, Willys-Overland dealer
in this city, who was one Of the 5000
dealers visiting the great Toledo
plant in connection with the immense
convention last week, recounted his
experiences in an interview today.
Nothing was ever so impressive as
our tour Of the great plant that turns
f, out Willys-Overland cars" said Mr.
Merrill.
Each man got card containing a
picture of Mr. WHY'S and an auto
graphed message Of welcome from
him. Next thing | knew we were lined
up on the steps of the stunning new
administration building getting photo
graphed.
Elevators shot us to the companys
own restaurant on the sixth floor.
There we had corking breakfast.
''Then started our tour of the plant.
"Our guides were carefully picked
men. They knew the plant from end
to end, and the parties were small so
that each member Of the party could
have his questions answered.
"$25,OOOOOO are tied up in land
buildings and machinery, not to say
word about the stock of parts and
raw material
From the roof of the wonderful adj
ministration buildings, which stands
out like state capital, you get great
panorama of the plant. You can then
readily believe that it occupies 1O3
acres, with 4,4S6,6SO square feet Of
floor space in daily use and a produc-
tion capacity of 1000 cars per day.
"You can appreciate the growth |

including dictaphones, its own tele-

about everything but write the letters.

taurant at one time.

into another room, till its wheels are
in contact with wheels in the floor
"With the use Of the self-starter, the
machine gets its first chance to prove
the success Of its construction.
"1t surprised me the way the motors
started. They We're Off with a rush.
There was 70 hitch or delay. All the
work had been done right In few
minutes the motor was working appar-
entity almost as smoothly as if it had
been year on the road
1--WE saw how the cars were shipped.
The export department has the big
feature in this line. The finished car
undergoes preparation by having its
wheels taken off and fastened on the
under side Of the frame which forms
the top covering for the car.
"The top is covered with tar paper
as a protection against the elements,
and all is securely boxed
"Along comes a big crane running
in an overhead groove a quarter Of a
mile long. The operator sits in a

its metal vitals brain was concealed
The workman has only to put on tn,
rough fly wheel, adjust the first set o
tools, push the lever, and let the ma
chine do the rest.
"The cast iron is peeled of as rapid
ly as wax. Sometimes for or five op
erations are performed at once, When
one set of cuttings is done, the ma
chine stops automatically. and the
next set OF tools comes automatically
into place Twenty operations are
performed in fourteen minutes. Twen-
ty-six pounds Of metal are removed
from the wheel. One man can watch
three Of these machines.
"The vertical cutter of gears on fly
wheels almost matches the turret
lathe in interest.
'Moving up and down, the cutter at
the same time slowly reyolyes, the fly
wheel turning in the opposition direc-
ton. BY the time a complete revolu-
tion Of the fly wheel has been accom-
plished, all the gears are cut.

of machine processes, for the holes
must be in the right relation to each

"Another machine smooths the sur
faces of the crank cases, finishing sew

Diamonds, real diamonds, are con-
sumed with apparently reckless indif-
ference in the wet grind room. Placed
in small tools they are used to true

They are bought in $4,000 lots.

Of lumber were being turned into bod
les in the wood work department.
This lumber comes in by Carloads.
As 214 feet of wood is required ON a

see why SO much was required

terials are tested. They have to know

"Tests in the physical and chemical
laboratories are made in two ways
Completed parts are subjected to ter
rifle tests. Axles are twisted like rolls
Of taffy candy Small bits of steel six
inches log, cut from completed axles,
are attached at both ends, and liter
ally pulled apart. The registering ma.
chine shows 100000 pounds to the
square inch necessary to accomplish
this, whereas resistance up to 125-
GOO pounds would be proof Of ample
tensile strength. Springs are tried for
their resistance
"Steel articles are also put through
both heat and chemical tests. The
former determines the amount Of car
bon, an important factor; the other de-
termines the chemical composition OF
the steel.
Naturally every operation in all the
plants tends finally toward the assem-

We began at one end where the
frames and rear systems are put in
place. BY the time the other end Of
the conveyor is reached the frame has
grown into the finished car.
"From overhead parts are lowered |
by chains. Along the way men are at
taching the parts. The frame is not
in motion all the ime, but can be in
stantly connected with the links Of an
endless chain and sent on It's way

"Top quality Of workmanship is as
