The New York Special Election.

This Is the way the democratic lead
ers do the sum. Two years ago. In
the thirty.sevcnth New York Congress
district-republican At all times-the
republican candidate for the House
received a plurality Of nearly thirty
thousand votes. Tuesday. at a con-
gressional election. the republicans
carried the district by only some three
thousand votes. Outlook for Novem.
ber, a smashing democratic victory in
the country.
This is superficial arithmetic. Two
years ago presidential campaign had
stirred the country profoundly. A
deep.seated discomfort with the Will
son administration had led to a COM
bination effacing party lines for the
time. The vote. in New York and
elsewhere, was all one way, democrats
by the ten thousand supporting re.
publican candidates.
Tuesdays election was special.
called to fill vacancy. The campaign
had been short: No great amount Of
feeling had been aroused. The result
was not in doubt. Hence the vote was
small.
But the republicans, in New York
and elsewhere, should not, and prob
ably will not, ignore the fact. disclosed
at this election, that the combination
Of two years ago has gone to pieces;
that divisions now are showing a re.
turn to normalcy, so to say, and that
calculations for November should be
made on a normalcy basis.
Not only should this fact not. be
ignored, but it should be welcomed.
The country should benefit by q cam.
pai<n waged with both parties in KEEL

PRESIDENT RICE
SEES BUSINESS
IMPROVEMENT

No longer are the ranchers around
Walla Walla. Washington, looking g
blue, and already there is a growing
hum of commercialism in the ham
lets, villages and cities OF the west
ern states, for business is picking up
and will continue to pick up if the
eyaluation put on the outlook by a
seasoned student of industrial affairs
is accepted.
II. II. Rice, president and general
manager of the Cadillac Motor Car
company, recently wired the factory
from Spokane, Washington, that even
to the ultra conservative" element
indications of a business and trade
revival are clearly discernible in the
west.
THE more optimistic are outspoken
in predicting very much improved
business for about all the west" Mr..
Rice reorts, after analyzing the situ-
alton as he has seen il in Nebraska,
Colorado. Montana, Utah, Oregon and
Washington. His message continues.
Cattle. hog and sheep feeders are
making good showings. The copper
mines have opened after q long shut

for wheat are much better. Ship

of all, people begin to feel that a dis
tinct change for the better has really
taken place.
The automobile business generally
can expect a much better condition
than in 1921, and Cadillac particular

crease. In fact, Cadillac business all
ready shows on the average even bet

CAR OWNERS GE 7
GOOD SERVICE

Automobile owners. a s rule, have
reason for being pleased with the out
look for better service department fa-
cilities and a resultant greater satis-
faction in owning and driving a car.
1t is evident that manufacturers are
placing more and more emphasis on
this phase OF their business, not only
because it is being demanded by the
car owners, but because il has been
demonstrated by the few who have
insisted upon good service from the
very outset, that it pays in dollars
and cents to keep customer sat
isfied
Macarthur Brothers, the Dodge Bro
Tiers dealers here, know what ii
means to represent a factory that is
extremely particular about the sort of
service its dealers provide.
The factory has been steadfast
and CONSTANT in its service policy
ever since the manufacture of Dodge
Brothers cars began they say.
keeping pace with the recomenda-
tions coming from headquarters, we
have steadily developed our own. IA
cilities. Among the comparatively
recent innovations Of importance to
the car owner is the flat rate system,
which enables him to tell in advance
just now QlOCn u can pOSSlDtg GOSl
him to have his car adjusted or re
paired, A specified minimum time
allowed for each operation and he can
see it all in black and white before
the work is started.
with more than $4,000 cars al
ready sold, it is not difficult to see
why Dodge Brothers are so insistant
on good service. The annual replace
ments among these 650,0 alone call
for a production as large as the total
output of many factories"
The dealers comments on Dodge
Brothers service policies are borne
out by a recent article by Samuel
Hopkins Adams, in Leslie's Weekly.
Where the 1922 purchasing public
is going to profit chiefly is not by
buying cheaper" says Mr.. Adams,
but in increased utility at lowered
expense"
Service, he adds, 'is the trade
word, term often abused TO the
point Of parody. But the new form
of service. as projected, is so per-
fected and systematized as TO COM
prise perhaps the most important
development that the industry has
known for years.

ported by the owners and insurance
companies is sent to Dodge Brothers
dealers and service stations in all
parts of the country Copies of the
bulletin are also mailed to the ma

This plan has been indorsed by
prominent officials in some of the
principal cities as "a splendid service"
and "a great help to every police de-
partment." Judge Fish of the Brook
lyn traffic court describes it as an
excellent plan and one which should
increase the conviction of motor car
thieves.
The reason why this service has
been received with such wide favor
is that many cars which are stolen
in large city go not only to neigh
boring cities and farm communities.
but to points far removed. Cars
which are recovered in the west are
sometimes brought here from Chi
cago, New York or other eastern
cities.

sons for seeking a brand for reck-
less motorists, the "A. A. A. sets forth:
THE American Automobile Asso-

ful motorists in the country suffer
because Of the few thousands who
are rowdy and careless. A name is
wanted TO show these drivers that
do not belong Police records show
that heavy percentage OF acci-
dents are due to the recklossness Of
pedestrians, but that places further
responsibility upon the motorist to
take extra precautions for safety"
