ANY CONSTRUCTIVE SUCCESS
TONS?

some of our readers must have at
fond the Democratic rally at Gardi-
nei q a there have acquired impress
s. r,sptcting the candidate and
the cause espoused. Perhaps the
Journal has not ben fortunate in the
Injuries It has made-it has made
s,y raj of rcsponsible parties-but 1t
has not succeeded in finding anyone
who could recall any valuable con-
structive suggestions put forth by the
sptak,rs at that rally.
Naturally there was criticism of the
Republican party; that is to be ex-
pected. but there appears to have
been no impressive declaration of pol
icy which the Democrats would pur-
sue. We could not learn that the
candidate, Mr.. Mclean. in all that he
had TO say respecting the bonus in
formed his hearers what kind of
bonus law he favored. One speaker
was frank TO admit that he didn't
know Just what should be done about
the bonus. but we cannot find that
the candidate said that much. Nor do
We find that he said what he would do
on the tariff, what he would do with
a sales tax, what he would do about
immigration. He may have thought
there was no need Of this; that the
voters should understand that he
would support the policies Of the
Democratic party. whatever those
might happen to be.
He did give Wilson ard the Demo-
cratic party credit for the high prices
which prevailed during the war. BY
the same logic. of course, they should
which have prevailed all over the
world during the war, and the Re-
publican party should be blamed for
unemployment in Italy today. as we'll
as unemployment in this country. He
talked about business conditions in
Maine but did not make clear how he
would improve them, didn't suggest
any plan for increasing lumber cut,
the clam crop or the sardine output or
how he would restore the ice business
on tho Kennebec.
Mr.. Pierce, who preceded him, de-
clared that people do not concern
themselves enough with politics nor
take their political responsibilities
seriously enough. all of which is most
emphatically true. He also said that
the election in this district is pecu-
liarly n party election. the question
which party can best govern the
country. There will be some who, we
feel sure. will be of the opinion that
Mr.. Nelson would be more effective
ly helpful representative. but even on
the basis OF party representation there
ought to be no question in the minds
Of very large majority of the voters
in this district-they wish to have the
Republicans administer affairs and
they want to send n man who will be
able 10 take full-sizcd part in the
doing OF II.
But do they want this enough to 90
TO the polls a Il vote for it? Looks
like most Of the Democrats will be
there. And the candidate who gets
the most votes will elected.

SEVEN NEW BODY
STYLES ANNOUNCED
J.. !. BY FRANKLIN CO.

SYRACUSE, n. Y. Dec, 29.-The
seven new body styles announced
by the Franklin Automobile Company
are regarded by those who have seen
them on their first appearance, as the
finest that have ever been identified
with Franklin. In the 1928 cars,
Franklin designers have succeeded in
giving to conventional lines the defin-
its mark of character.
The new Franklin bodies have low
cr top lines, increased length and they
are wider above the body rail. These
changes in construction enabled the
designers to effect greater interior
rrbmness. The clean lines of the
higher hood are carried back from the
almost vertical grille to the fashion
able flare of the cowl, where they
blend smoothly and naturally with the
body lines. The level of the hood line
and body rail presents an unbroken
and continuous sweep from tip to tip
an effect that accentuates the cars
increased length.
More Space in Bodies
The compactness of the new motor
has made it possible to provide more
space in the drivers compartment and

FRANKLIN production,
The arrangement of the new instru-
ment board which is all metal and
ebony color, is simplicity itself. The
lighting and ignition controls battery
indicator and spark advance and
speedometer and clock, are grouped in
three rectangular panels-an arrange
ment typical of the attention to de
tail given the new bodies. The mount
lngs ana fittings are all Roman ir
being edged with polished
Duralumin and inlaid with black pyra-
line enamel noted for its permanent
luster.

Six of the seven models in the
Franklin line scheduled for future
production, will be closed cars. The
only strictly open type will be the
Touring car There will also be the
four body styles originated by the
Franklin designers-Sedan, Brous-
ham, Touring Limousine and Demi-
Sedan, the most recent member of
the Franklin family, the Coupe, and
the popular two-door Sedan with the
N-front.
The cabriole effect, especially no
ticeable in the outward flare of the
body surfaces from sill to roof, has
been worked out on the new closed
cars, and introduces a vehicle style
element which has come down from
the period of Louis XIV.

Chauffeur Driven Car

Introduced one year ago, the Tour
g-Limousine met with immediate fa-
vor. Production plans indicate an an
ticipation of tho popularity of this
driven car. The design is
one in which H. H. Franklin has lak-
en- a personal interest, and develop
ment of which comes from his con-
tinued use of this type. The sliding
glass partition, making it easily con-
vertible from a chauffeur-driv to an
owner-driven car has been one of the
factors that created a demand for it.
This type is cn innovation among
chauffeur-driven cars, because of it's
light weight which is a little more
than 2900 pounds.
The well-known two-door Sedan
with the V-front, which has been the
favored Franklin closed car, will also
be in the line. This type has a record
II being the most prominent ever in
