The Whole Secret Of
A Better Tire
Simply a Matter Of the Makers Policies

To ascertain what each maker
offers one must analyze and test
some 200 tires-as our laboratories
have done.
Then it is a matter OF combining
the best features and building ac-
cording to the highest standards.
Once you try Brunswick you
will understand how we have built
model tires, regardless of factory
expense.
Yet Brunswick Tires cost you the
same as other ike-type tires. Our
saving is on selling cost, through
our nationwide organization.
We realize that you expect more
from Brunswicks, and we assure
you that you get it. ONE Bruins
wick will tell you the story.
And then you'll want ALL
Brunswicks. Nc other tire, you'll
agree, gives 50 much for your
money.

DEMOCRATS NOMINATE
cox AND ROOSEVELT

After long deadlock at San
Francisco, the Democratic Nation
al Convention nominated Governor
James Cox of Ohio on the forty
fourth ballot. After an adjourn
ment the convention nominated
Franklin Roosevelt, assistant Sec
retary of the navy and cousin Of
Theodore Roosevelt as the candi-
date for vice-president.
Many factors played parts in
these nominations. Both Palmer
and McAdoo, the other chief con-
tenders in a three cornered fight
for the nomination, were defcatc
after many ballots. Correspond
ents generally note this as re-
buke Of the present administra-
tion, thugh this may be more ap-
parent than actual. Anyway the
democrats have nominated q can
'didate in no wise connected with
the present administration. 1t is
admitted that the candidate of the
conservative wing of the party led
by Murphy and Taggart, was nom
mated. The convention followed
the lead of the republican conven-
tion in that regard Both parties
have nominated conservatives this
year. In fact it is hard year for
tho raiicalc IN h.th y,arfiac The
wear and tear on them before the
campaign is over will be simply
awful.
With the nominatin of Governor
Cox, both parties have now nomin-
ated Ohio men. That state will
look like devastated Belgium be-
fore November. Both parties have
now nominated newspaper men,
and the country is likely to have
it's first editor for president.
