During the beginning OF his ad-
dress, Humphrey referred to the
criticism aroused by his recent
remarks at Seattle meeting
when he told Seattle voters that
"All that have or expect to be
is interviewer with the future of
Seattle" Humphrey did not deny
the statements, but happily told
his Tacoma audience that he
would consider himself traitor
to his home city If he did not
show undying affection and 10y
atty to Seattle.
Congressman Albert Johnson
introduced Humphrey to the au-
dience. Johnson reviewed the
work of congress, told of the eff
forts of Washington representa-
tives to stick together in their
fight for this state, enumerated
the duties of the various congress
men, predicted that he would re-
ceive the Craftsmanship of the i'm
migration committee IL he were
returned to congress, and lam
basted Fawcett.
Sidesteps Questions.
Johnson spoke of series OF
questions asked him in the edi-
torial columns OF The Times Fri
day evening,
This is not my meeting, so ]
must not take up the time of the
audience" he said. But If you
people will remain after Mr..
Humphrey has concluded his ad-
dress, shall gladly answer all
these questions propounded by
the editor of The Times. 1t will
not take over Is minutes"
When Humphrey had conclud-
ed his speech, however, Johnson
jumped to his feet and said:
My able colleague has made
such an able speech-it was even
an oration---that | do not believe
anything | can add to it will be
worth while"

] Humphreys Speech
Much Like Jedge's

II Charles Evans Hughes, re-
publican presidential candidate,
had been a member of last nights
audience at the Tacoma theater,
he would have hailed William Il.
Humphrey, candidate for u. S.
senator from the state of Wash
ington, as a true, loving brother.
For Humphreys standpat
speech to Tacoma republicans was
so much like the non-constructive
standpat speeches made every
where by the presidential candi-
date that Hughes could not but
have appreciated the imitation.
Humphrey devoted an hour and
one-half to a sweeping denuncia-
ton of everything and every
body that conflicts with the
standpat ideas.

RECORD-BREAKING TRIP
FURNISHES BIG CONTRA

The recent record making cross
continent automobile trip in which
Marmon car was driven from New
York to San Francisco in five days,
eighteen and one-half hours furnishes
a most interesting contrast with the
first trips made across the American
continent by motor car.
The trip in the Marmon car was
planned by S. b. Stevens, chairman OF
the Motor Reserve Division of the
American Defense Society. and was
driven by Mr.. Stevens and other ANA
teur drivers The car left New York
Monday, July "a. at 80 "A. NJ. and
arrived in San Francisco Saturday af-
ternoon, July 20, at 5 P. NJ, having
covered 3,476 miles at an average OF
better than twenty-five miles an hour.
According to some of the historians
Of the automobile industry, the first
autom obile tour across the continent
took place in 1903, when a party of
San Francisco tourists drove a Win
ston car from the Golden Gate to
New York in sixty-four days. Some
time later this record was reduced by
Packard car to sixty-three days.
In 1904 a Franklin car set a new
pace by making the trip in thirty-three
days Inns recoru stoou ior CoupiV
of years. and then Norman DeVaux
cut nine days Off the record, making
the trip in a Buick in twenty-four
days Last year F. G.. Baker drove
a Stutz car from San Diego to New
York in eleven days. and this year
followed 1t up by driving an eight
cylinder Cadillac from Los Angeles to
. New York in seven and one-half days.
In the trip just completed by the Mar
mon car, a record for fast cross-con-
tinent driving is set by making the
trip from New York to San Francisco
in FIVE days, eighteen and one half
hours. Going from east to west with
San Francisco the goal, is generally

as an immense amount of money OBJ
viously Is expended here on the finest
types Of steels where cheaper types
might serve. However, the hobby of
the two Dodge Brothers is thorough
ness, and higher cost of production Is
not permitted to stand in the way OF
a reasonable approach to mechanical
perfection. That their policy IN this
respect is sound when considered
from the standpoint of good will. and
profitable when viewed from the COM
mercial angle, Is evident in the amaZ-
ing growth of the Dodge Brothers
business Almost unbelievable feats
of endurance are being recorded day

their popularity is attes'ed to by the
fact that within less thar two years
they have risen to fourth place in the

This is only an indication Of the

Oakland Avenue plant in Detroit Is
now 400 cars a dav and has been for
the last month A year ago the
average was only 200 cars a day.
More Factory Facilities
A great increase in the demand for
Mexwell cars followed the generous
reduction in prices on the touring car
and roadster that became effective
July LIST last and that the factories
are able to meet the demand Is due
to the fact that increased manufac-
