THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE

49,
The Democrats a San Francisco
followed the precedent of the Republi.
cans at Chicago and have nominated
a mediocre candidate on a Platform of
little Importance. 1t has been many
years since both parties have been so
completely successful in keeping
their nomination away from their
strong men
Mr.. Cox, like Mr.. Harding, has ele-
ments of strength as a vote getter but
ii takes a brisk imagination to consid-
er him in the front rank of his W
party. 1t WI be offensive to the par
~tisans of both parties TO say SO, but the
literal truth is that if ether Warren
Harding or James Cox are great men,,
they have not yet proved it.
Under Woodrow Wilson and under
Theodore Roosevelt there never was
the slightest doub as TO who was the
chief force in these United States.
After March 4th, next, apparently,
congress will resume charge and the
white house will take second place.
The nomination Of Harding at Chi
cage was the triumph of the eonserya-
tive, the farmer. the banker and the
business man. The nomination Of Cox
at San Francisco is the triumph of
Tammany in naming the Democratic
standard bearer for the first time in
the memory of he present generation.
And Tammany, in this respect, means
business in politics and politics in
business.
The nomination of Cox is just about
as complete a reputation cf the poll
IQies, and governmental theories OF
President Wilson as would have been
the nomination of Henry Cabot Ledge

Carolina Lady Got So She Could Just Drag. "Cardui Built Me
 Up," She Declares.

Kernersville, N. C.-In an interest ing statement regarding Cardui, the Woman's Tonic, Mrs. Wesley Mabe, of near here, recently said: T have known Cardui for years, but never knew it's worth until year or so ago. 1 was in a weakened, rundown con- dition. l became draggy-didnt eat or sleep to do any good; couldn't do any. thing without a great effort. l tried different remedies and medicines. yet 1 continued to drag.
 T decided to give Cardui a trial. and found it was just what really needed. It made me feel much strong CT soon after 1 began to use 1t. be- gan to eat more, and the nervous, weak feeling began to leave. Soon l was sleeping good.
 "Cardui built me up as no other tonic ever did.
 'I used Cardui with one daughter who was puny. felt bad and tired out all the time. It brought her right out, and soon she was as well as a girl could be. We think there is nothing like Cardui."
 Do not allow yourself to become weak and rundown from womanly troubles. Take Cardui. You may find 1t just what you really need. For more than 50 years it has been used by thousands and thousands, and found just as Mrs. Mabe describes.

Carpenter, Idol
 Of France, Stars
 In Society Drama

Georges Carpenter, idol of France, whose notable record in the boxing ring has won him fame and fortune and whose fascinating personality has made him the idol of two continents, will be the chief attraction at the i Central Theater Friday and Saturday iend Eagle Theater Sunday and Mon- day November ,, 6. ', s, in 'The Wonder Man. Robertson Cole Su- 
 The picture promises an entertain ema art. Unlike the previous efforts 1 of producers to bring champions Of the prize ring before the public on the silver screen in the roles of dare devil heroes or in hair-raising serials Geoges Carpenter is given as a vehi- cle an intriguing romance of Ameri- can society, with himself in the role of smart, well-dressed man about town.
 The fact that his gentlemanly quail ties and his record of valor in the world war has won the admiration of all classes makes the advent of this popular youth into the picture world as a matinee idol commendable achievement. His popularity in America is best attested by the un- precedented amount of favorable pub licity he has received throughout the country and by the great demand for his services.
 'The Wonder Man" gives the pub lie it's first opportunity to really know this favorite son of France-in fact it gives the first opportunity for his many admirers to see him. The great demand to see Carpenter in the box ling ring was proved beyond a doubt by the crowd that Hooked to the Istudio to see him when a great fight scene for the picture was staged. More than 1000 persons braved the muddy roads of New Jersey to see him in his fighting togs for the first time in America.

AUT0ISTS PRAISE F|RESTONE TIRE:
 IT'LL EXPERIENCE

The advance and prog gress made by he leading tire manufacturers of the country during he last two years has brought about an interesting change in the figures Of motor car maintenance cost and in tire mileage records Reputable tire companies have educated their customers so thoroughly on what to expect of their tire equipment that the change in maintenance figures has scarcely been noticed and consequently has not been thoroughly appreciated by those who seek economy in tire buy ing by patrcnizing the best concerns.
 If you have owned a car for sev- eral years you w.n remember il was only few years ago that you con sidered yourself fortunate if you ran on the same tires fer $500 or 4.000 miles without mishan. Then came a time when the standard manufac- turers put guarantees of from 5000 to 1000 miles behind their products. You made a proud effort to beat the guarantee by few thousand miles and if you succeeded you probably wrote a letter tc your dealer appris- ing him of your phenomenal achieve ment.
 Those figures Una, ased to be phe- nomenal fade into insignificance compared to present day mileage records Nowadays. you think of 10000 miles on tire as an ordinary Il. I H. ed of a good tire under average con ditions. Ill fact, if you happen to have blowout under 10000 miles you let out terrible howl.
 Many motorists travel 10000 to 13.OO0 miles on tires of late construc- ton before experiencing blowout trouble. Others often run from IA coo to 1S.000. The size of ones car and the type of roads on which one is accustomed to travel have bear ing, of course. on these records.
 The handling of ones car enters into mileage records, too. A careful driver naturally gets many more miles out of his equipment than one who abuses his tires recklessly.
 Very frequently enthusiastic crlV CTS write in to the factory to tell us Of their record runs," said an off cial of the Firestcne Tire & Rubber Company recently. "The figures are not surprising when one considers the improvement of manufacturing methods in the tire industry.
