There is a certain young officer who.

"'Where shall ! take it?' he asked.

Bakers decision relative to the SEN

factor in the future activity of James
t. Boyd toward seeking that seat.
Boyd is said by his friends to en-
terrain senatorial ambitions. but 1t is
not thought likely that he will be a
candidate in case Baker decides to
run Consequently, should Boyd
make an announcement of candidacy
it probably would indicate that he
has been given assurances from Ba-
ker that the latter does not intend to
enter the lists this year.
The visit to Reno this week Of Den
yer S. Dickerson and Anthony S. Jur-
ich probably had more political sig
n~ificance than reached the general
public. The presence of Dickerson
can generally be associated with poll
tics and his present visit, it is not
likely, proved any exception to the
general rule. AS a matter of fact the
day that Dickerson was in Reno was
spent almost entirely in conference
with prominent Democratic leaders,

party that earned for itself the cog
nomen of ~"Bolsheviki" as a result of

Congressman Evans kicked over
the races again last week when he
lined up with the Republicans in an
effort to override the presidential
veto of the executive appropriation.
The Nevada congressman was n of
six Democrats to favor passing the
bill over the Presidents head. 1t is
possible that Evans has had a great
suflciency of the exercise OF "ex-
ecutive authority" as the President
announced thai his veto was affixed
because he considered the bill in
question an infringement on that
privilege.

MERGERS CATALOGUE
 JUST OFF THE PRESS

An attractive catalog, descriptive of the Mercer car, has just been issued by Hare s Motors, which now controls and operates the Mercer and Locomobie factories.
 There are two pleasant surprises for Mercer patrons a touring limousine ana fcur-passenger coupe. Those who have followed the famous Mercer line know how enthusiastically an inclosed model is destined to be received, as there has been a general demand for one for many years Here are two of them. The new Mercer touring limousine will appeal particularly to the owner-drivei becatss it is of the sedan type, with an adjustable glass par tition between the driving and rear com partments. When the plate glass window is lowered. the two compartments be- come one, as in a regular sedan.
 In every detail of finish, both of the new closed models meet the well-known stand ards of the Mercer ope1 cafs.
 The standard go ,5'' horsepower Mercer chassis of 132-iach wheel base is sued, and the method of body construction that employed by the best custom body build CTS The result is two new Mercer models which will not only uph old the envable reputation of the Mercer touring, spor.. ing, runabout and "raceabout" models, but greatly broaden the scope of Mer cer transportation by offering Mercer comfort, economy and efficiency to large class of closed car users, who have hitherto been compelled to purchase Mercer chassis and have it mounted with a clos ed body or try to be content with a car of another make.
 The new Mercer touring limousine and coCpe will be available for delivery in Au- gust. The new catalogs may be obtained from Mercer distributors or from Hare's Meters, No. Is West Sixty-first street. New York city.

of these he declared to be the discrimi- natory attitude which many bankers are taking in the matter of restriction of credit; the second the lack of scientific and far-sighted handling of the good roads problems, and the third the de- cline of the gasoline reserve.
 In discussing the aeronautic situation the colonel said:
 This is not and never will be military nation, and Congress will never approve large air force in the regular army or large expenditures for aircraft equip ment during times of peace, yet we must be prepared to dominate the air above our country in case of an emergency. The Chly complete answer to this problem as see it, is to develop commercial aero- nautics, and it is largely up to us as en- SiLeers to bring this about. We must be prepared to supply greatly improved machines of various types suited to va rious requirements if we are to take full advantage of our opportunities, and thus put the aircraft branch of the automotive industry on a sound transportation basis
 "The United States positively will not be in a safe position until this result has been accomplished"
 In estimating the present position of America in aeronautic development Colonel Vincent said;
 Tn the matter of development and per- lection of power plants for arplanes believe America is second to none, except possibly in ar-cooled fixed radials. I am convinced that we have the talent and facilities in this country to enable us to lead the world in the development and production of airpane engines if we can make business of it, thus putting it on a sound financial basis. In the matter of plane development I do not feel that we are so far advanced, although we can To .lo to Ina, ta1 st If the ideas used in airplanes today all over the world"
