Some of them, although outspokenly
opposed to the enactment of any high
tariff measure such as the Fordnev
bill, have intimated that they would
stand with their party if a decision was
made in caucus. Discussion in the
Ways and Means Committee during the
drafting of the bill was understood to
have disclosed that some Democrats
were unwilling to vote for the bill. al

ROUTE TO TWO OHIO
CITIES FROM D. c.
Tour to Dayton and Marion
Covers Good Roads and
Beautiful Scenery.

For those Washington motorists
who have a desire to see the next
President Of the United States on his
own front porch" a very interesting
tour. which includes good roads and
delightful scenery. can be taken over
the old national trail through Ohio,
passing Dayton, Ohio, the home of
the democratic candidate. Gov. Cox,
and Marion. Ohio. the home of SEN
ator Warren G. Harding. the stand
ard bearer of the republican party.
The following data were compiled
by the bureau of tours Of the Auto
mobile Club of America:
Leave Washington via Rockville
where the old national trail is joined.
From Frederick run through
Hagerstown, where a good, hard-sur-
faced road begins to ascend over the
Allegheny mountains and is one con-
tinuous panorama Of beautiful views
and rugged scenery. through Cumber-
land to Uniontown. where there are ex-
cellent hotel accommodations for
either a luncheon or a nights stop.
Cross Ohio River.
From Uniontown the road is con-
tinued through Washington, Pa.
crossing the state line just beyond
into West Virginia to Wheeling.
Ohio.
From Wheeling through Cambridge
and GAINESVILLE to Columbus the road
passes through pastoral scenery and
some of Ohio's most fertile farm
lands. From Columbus. the capital
Marion, the home of Senator Harding,
by running due north through Worth
|ington, Lewis City, Delaware and
Prospect; or an alternate road can
be taken from Delaware through
Norton and Waldo to Marion.
If the motorist wishes to return
over a different route, from Marion
continue north through Bucyrus and
Attica to the trunk line between Nor
walk and Bellevue. then through
Cleveland and Buffalo. From Column
bus continue straight on through
mony to Springfield; then south
through Fairfield to Dayton. the
home of Gov. Cox.
Route to Chicago.
II the motorist wishes to extend
the tour to Chicago the route can
be continued from Dayton to In
dianapolis and Lafayett., or a side
trip can be made from Dayton to
Cincinnati.
Excellent hotel accommodations can
be obtained at Wheeling. GAINESVILLE,
Columbus, Springfield, Dayton, Gin
cinnati. Indianapolis. Lafayette and.
of course, Chicago.
Instead Of returning to Washing
ton by the same route, a delightful
| trip can be made by running from
Chicago through South Bend to To-
1edo, then through Cleveland, Erie,
buffalo, Syracuse, Utica and Albany,
| thence into New York on either side
| of the Hudson river. both of which
are good, and then direct from New
York home.
The road condition throughout the
| trip is about 80 per cent good.
