ONLY FOUR PRESIDENTS Ev.
ER RODE MOTOR CAR

Probably the average man has not
stopped to realize chat only four Of
our chief executives have had the
privilege Of riding In motor cars
Such is the ease, however
William Mckinley was first elected
President IN 1896. During his first
term the motor car was a curiosity
staggering uncertainty about over our
highways and streets. At that time
the Times Herald road race in Chi
cago was still a matter Of current
comment. Nothing in the performance
Of the cars entered in that event gave
any hint Of the glories to come.
President Mckinley never became
motorist IN the accepted sense OF
the word We know that he enjoyed
ride in the nicely discovered trans
portation prodigy on two or three oc-
casions, but horses were still the
agents of progression in general use,
and the White House stable was still
stable. II is interesting to remem-
Der that the motor car run of the
Automobile Club of America, from
New York to Buffalo, was called off
enroute upon news Of McKinley's
death.
Theodore Roosevelt refused to be
confined to the tonneau Of his car
dsring his term OF office. and he will
20 down in history as the fst Pres
ident TO drive motor car.
William Howard Taft was devot-
ed to motoring. He enjoyed the SEN
sation of great speed. and often led
the secret service men assigned to
follow his car merry chase.
President Wilson has found most
Of the brief relaxation that he has
snatched during the last eight years
