The Navy has tripled in size

But the first year plans for the air

This is a great task that has been

five months. When the Aircraft
Production Board started its work
only two companies manufac-

for the Allies were of a type ser.
viceable only for practice flights.
The first move of the Board
was to stop negotiations for the
use of existing patents, and to
set men at work designing a new
airplane engine which should
comprise as many of the good
points Of the diffrent patents as
these men care to use. In a
week twenty experts working to-

Motor, which Secretary Baker has
called the greatest achievement
of the war so far.

On account of the time given the
Liberty Loan campaign and the crit

sections, due to influenza, 1t will be
impossible for me to see any consid-
cradle number of the voters. ] take
this means then of asking your sup
port on the 5th of November. l ask
this regardless of what party you
are affiliated with. If elected 1t will
be my highest ambition to represent
all the people and serve them as

tics. Great questions will arise out
OF the war and the days Of recon
struction will be momeneus ones in
the country's history. The proper
protection of the peoples interests
during these trying days will be Of
such vast Importance that one is jus
tilted in losing sight of party lines
