Leonard Wood campaign, met in the

Thomas W. Miller, former congressman
from Delaware and one of the eastern
managers of the Gen. Leonard Wood
campaign, and Louis Shepard, one of the
alternat ties -at-large from New Hampshire.
to talk over plans for the Vermont end
of the campaign.
Colonel Miller said that it was against
the policy of the Wood managers to in
sist on an instructed delegation in those
State. which elected delegates like Yer
mont but believing that the preponderant
sentiment was in favor of General Wood.
they would take steps to crystalize that
sentiment. He stated that General Wood
was to be entered in the presidential
primaries and he had full confidence that
the Wood sentiment would carry the
State by an overwhelming majority.
He went over the general plans with
those present and intended to make a
stay of several days in Vermont but is
called back to accompany General Wood
on his eastern trip. The situation was
taken up by counties and much was ac-
complished in this way.

Truck Company. with factories at
Lima, Ohio. today announced that iHH
capital stock of the company had
been increased from five to ten milt
lion dollars to provide for an ex-

This expansion is necessary. Mr..
Williams said. to meet the increased
demands for the Garford product. It
will provide for an increase in pro-
duction which, within the next year.
will be greater by 100 per cent than
the present program.
While the detailed plans for expan-
sion are not as yet complete, II was
stated that one OF the company's
first moves will be to erect a modern
addition to its factory. 400 feet by
100 feet. This building will be de-
voted entirely to the progressive as

of machinery and the adaptation o.

Pershing's Special Car
Attracts Attention

Much comment has been caused
all over the country by exhibition
of Gen. John J. Pershing's car in
many cities. This Locomobiie,
equipped with Goodyear cord tires,
was on every front during the war
and Also carried practically every
reigning European monarch and the
most famous war heroes of every
country.
Caesar Santini was Pershing's
chauffeur-but he has been annoyed
by the claims of many others that
they drove the American command
Santini says he lsft the
United States with the Gene al on
the Baltic May IS. 1917. and drove
him continuously until he returned
on September s, 1919. Santini has a
citation from Pershing for meritori-
Gus work and a medal from the
King Of Belgium. He would like to
have personal combat with those
who dispute his honors. but as
transportation, is expensive and he
is too busy anyway-he must de-
fend his laurels through the printed
word.

Martin .Demph claims that his is the
and he has figures to prove it. He
remembers in the early days of the
Washington Motor Exchange when he
could sit at his desk and as the cars
went down the street name the
owners OF each and every one. The
game then was something like the
undertaker's: Martin was content in
those days to sit quietly by. secure
in the knowledge that they would one
and all have to come to him in the
long run. His was the only used car
house in town! And they did.
They tell US that over, 900 represent
ative local and long distance auto
mobile men attended the Nora Bayes
Theater in New York last Wednesday
night through the courtesy of Mr..
Faulkner of the Times. and that the
show was a bowling success. There
was a dinner all set and waiting
across the street for the boys who
had clapped themselves into a state
of gaunt hunger. This also through
the courtesy OF Mr.. L. J. F-and the
punch was! And then after the din
ner and speeches and thanks and
hiccoughs. they played games and
when a Herald reporter asked what
kind OF games they played they told
him they indulged mostly in The
Great National Game. We decided IL
was baseball, but when some person
mentioned passes" we changed our
mind-it must have been football.
No greater show was ever staged in
autemotive history, than the one Just
ended in New York. Some voted il
a screaming success: others Just a
great success; they were the ones
who had not the keys to John BIS
tomb.
q; When one local automobile enthusi-
asst was asked what he thought was
the most interesting feature Of the
show. he said: THE big car with the
four windshields and seven wheels" :"
and carelessly tossed an empty bottle
of hair tonic into the East River.
