Getting mileage-in other words.

OF all automobile engineers and that
this is being accomplished is shown
by the fact that a new Lexington
Thorobred model made the run from
the factory at Connersville, Ind, to
Chicago and averaged 14.S miles per
gallon of gasoline.
The car was driven by the owner.
Charles p. Root, manager of both
the national motor truck reliability
contest and the Glidden tour, who
took delivery at the factory.
From Connersville to Crawfords
vile is ia miles and this distance
was covered at the rate Of 1873
miles per gallon. Then the roads
became rough and soft from the
melting snow of the blizzard of the
Sunday previous. In addition a
strong headwind prevailed. The to-
tai run was 2s3 miles and the aver
age was just 14.S miles per gallon
while a trif1e over one quart of
lubricating oil was used, despite the
fact that the engine was new.

Fire Apparatus Leads.
Especially important in motorized

include vehicles for which transpor-

TO INDEPENDENT REPUBLICANS

(From the Morning Journal of Oct %, 1920
A great many good people of republican faith
still fail to why they should leave their
own nominees and support Hanna and the state
democratic ticket.
They argue that Mechen is good So
is our ten.year-old SON good Nevertheless, we can
take him by the hand and lead him where will
Judge Mechem has publicly said, with what little
defiance he command, that he will counsel and
advise with the men whom call bosses. He
means, of course, with his political dad, King
Holm |.
1t is being argued that the republican platform
pledges the reforms for which the Journal con-
tends. In way this is true, although the conven-
ton could not get its courage up to the point of
using the words mime tax"
But investigation of the record of the
publican party in this state the subject of
deemed platform pledges is discouraging Look at
your Journal for a week back and see the analysis
of this record given from the records by spe-
cial representative, MIR. Clinton P. Anderson. You
will see that the promises of boss-ridden party
are badly kept
The doubtful voter should also note the trend
OF this campaign Its early weeks were devoted by
the republicans to promises of tax reform. But
there came time when campaign must be fl
nanced Why should men who going to be
adequately taxed anyhow finance campaign?
Presto, change! Bursum defends the tax law; Me-
chem defends it; the little boys, such as Lee and
Downer defend it. Has this significance to YOU,

Judge Mechem is that he will keep faith; that "they
shall not pass" will be his watchword when ade-
