he will appoint a number of commit
tees to take u active work for the
next presidential campaign.
This meeting today marks the
opening OF an active and militant
campaign for 1920" said Chairman
Cummings. ST
From the passage by congress of
the income tax law to h establish
ment of the federal reserve bank sys-
tenn the movement of the democratic
party has been steadily forward.
When war came it seemed for a time
as If daylight had dropped out of the
world. The democratic party sue
cessfully led the country through that
dark critical period. No matter what
critics may say history will record
this period as the golden s Of
American achievement and American
honor. I look forward to the cam
paign of 1920 With utmost confidence.
The Republican party again is falling
under r%eactionary leadership. The
selection Of Mr.. Penrosc as chairman
of the senate finance committee indi-
Gates the type of leadership to which
the party is committed
The selection of meeting place Of
the next democratic national conven-
ton was informally discussed by the
committeeman although the question
will not he decided until next winter.
Thus far the contest appears to be
between Cleveland and Indianapolis.

soon realized that there were pOten-
tials Of destruction in commercial We
hicIes which. if left to the Judgment
of the average operator, would, by
their various diverging views of the
mechanical fitness OF things, prove
the undoing of the most perfectly de
signed and sturdily constructed en-
gines.
Remedy Is ReciprOcative.
1T was recognized. however. that
any device of a remedial nature must
be reciprocative. or compensative, in
action, since the mere limiting or
speed without assuring full power
of which the engine was capable
would lessen the advantage gained
and make necessary larger engines.
Every Master truck is equipped
with a governor and the advantages
derived from an efficient governor
cannot be overestimated. 1t is ma
lures law that no work of man IS
permanent or indestructibie- y mo-
tor truck to meet the demands of the
day must insure maximum service
with minimum mechanical trouble
and no factor plays such an import
ant part as an agent OF destruction
as excessive speed.
"The desirability of governors must
have become evident almost at the
birth of the motor truck industry, for
in the earliest designs we find pro-
vision made for the inclusion of such
Instruments. Early models were
mostly of the truck makers own de-
sign and construction, but, as rule,
this need is met today by concerns
who specialize in their construction.

1.-The type OF governor, however.
adopted by most of the early truck
makers was Of the fly-ball type
embodying the centrifugal principle
the type most commonly in use to-
day.
Two or three balls, or weights, ro-
tated through the agency of the en-
CINE itself. fly from, or toward, their
axis accordingly as the speed in
creases or decreases, and, by suitable
linkage, this motion it used to actu-
ate a throttle valve in the ventura
tube through which the fuel is taken
into the combustion chamber.
"Due to the fact that the driving
power necessary to produce the cen
trifugaI force of the governor is pro-
duced by the engine itself, the gov
ernor becomes an integral part OF the
engine, is responsive to all OF
its manifestations and, being auto
natically reciprocated in principle. is
able to compensate for any stress,
strain. or unusual demand upon the
engine and maintain a consistent
flow OF power"

MICHELIN TUBES
ARE HARD TOCUT

At the suggestion of the Michelin
Tire Company of Midtown, n. J., a
series of very interesting experiments
have just been completed in the Ia
bOratories of Columbia University,
with the purpose of determining the
comparative durability Of various
makes of tires and tubes.
Zone of the most interesting of
these experiments" says r. B. Bran
well, the Nichelin advertising man
lager was a test of the relative re-
sstence which different makes of in
ner tubes offer to cutting.
Accidental discovery that inner
tubes vary considerably in this re-
spect led US to make this experiment.
We were trying, to CUT sections or Off
ferent makes of inner tubes sufficient
ly thin for examination under the
microscope. Some tubes we could
cut with comparative ease, but others
caused us a great deal of trouble, and
we were never able to secure a sec
tion of a Michigan tube sufficiently
thin for the purpose we originally had
in mind
"We froze the Michelin tube, we
embedded il in wax, we bUdt special
clamps and secured the most accurate
and delicate cutting machinery made
and yet we could not cut the tube
as desired.
"This led us to make other ex-
periments TO test the relative resist
ance Of inner tubes against cutting
from such causes as the PARTICLES of
dust or sandy flint which work in
side tires when in use. Here. too. we
found a great difference among tubes
and again it was found practically
impossible to cut the Michelin tube.
I'VE believe that the facts disclosed
by the tests we have been making are
of great Importance to motorists and
we are publishing the results of some
OF them in our present advertising
campaign"
