Tourist Travel Nearly Million
By Harlow Hyde, Indianapolis Star

Conservative estimates by motor publications that cover the country ssy that the motor camping trave. now numbers 1,OOO, ,OOO people a year. Experienced travellers from the camp ing trail will tell you that each of those tourists spend at least $50. It means at least $5O,O0O,OOO in tour ist commerce on the trips made this \ summer. This is an exceedingly low figure. If the gypsy goes to the far places he will spend $2OO for food and other personal necessities, and for his share of the gas, tires and motor necessities, to say nothing of the equipment he will buy for the car that is going to De his coach, Pullman and diner. Really the whole trade considered from this angle will doubtless run to at least $10O,000,000 for the year 1922.
 Repeatedly we read that this great gypsy horde started in the middle West. As veteran of one of the ear Hest tours from the middle West that started out with complete camping equipment in 1913, the writer and his friends who took part in that trip rise to state that this is not so. The West itself was the starter of the great mo- tor camping pilgrimage. The move ment has come from the Pacific coast and gradually swept East, until now you find free camp sites clear to the tip of Maine and down the coast to Florida, and son on across the map of every we'll marked trail. There are now estimated to be 1,700 such motor ing camps in our land.
 To be sure the great impetus that has made the movement so widespread

made to supply their dealers with suf- ficient cars to fill ;their orders, but that for the past three months, prompt deliveries have been impossible with some of the types The demand for Ford enclosed cars has been especially strong, due to the ever-increasing popularity of the coupe and sedan for all-year-round use. AS the total production of all makes of cars in June was in the neighborhood of 271,0O0, and Ford production was in exces of 140,000, it is apparent that The Ford Motor Company continues to turn out more than half the automotive products in this country. At the present time, Ford is em- blowing 75,000 men at Detroit.

came from the Middle West. This IS true partly because this is the home sf f6A aeM driver. It is the heart of the motor empire; the place where, by and large, there are more cars per thousand of population and great VOL umes of them, than in any other re- zion. |"
 But to go back and give bit of credit to the source of this great horde Even in 1913 any transcntinental travellers (and there were precious few) had visions of hundreds of hardy Westelners with their blanket rolls or tents ,and full camping equipment on those ancient vehicles. Every fine camping center from Colorado on west had the motor campers. There were no great numbers as compared to to- day but they were enjoying themsel yes on tour, or at some good camping spot. By all odds the best equipped lot of motor travellers and campers we met were on the wild northern edge of Nevada and California up in the high Sierras. Trundling up and down those grades, following the Walker river in Nevada, where grizzly was seen at one spot, we suddenly came in an open natural glade near the turbulent trout stream. There, as orderly as an old time camp in the Orirondacks, was camp to dream about.
 A half dozen cars and four tents beautifully pitched with shelter flies out in front to provide shade from the midday sun, was set down on the from tier that could not be reached by any, thing but motor car. It was seven- ty-five miles back of the edge of the civilization fringe. There, for the first time, we saw trailer used by camp ing party. That was the first of the Pacific campers we met. In Califor- mia we saw hundreds of them. Be- fore that dozens of outdoor people with camping equipment and the blan- ket rolls had crossed our path.
 The very first of these was found on the eastern edge of Colorado. Thcrc we were met by a guide sent out by the Denver Chamber of Commerce to see that we did not get lost in the big lands of Colorado. His wife was with him, and they used blanket rolls for sleeping purposes. It was an old story to them. They had covered doz- ems of primitive trails that are now well-marked highways in those big places of Colorado and Utah and Wy oming. It was the way they and all their friends made motor trips for va cations. It was about the only way to go. Such Westerners were the pio- ,neers of the movement.
 Even before their time, motor camp ing was old in the west. When Gold field and Tonopah were roaring min ing centers back in the very early days of the motor car, the thing real .ly came into vogue. Motor camping was not done for fun in those days. They did it none the less, and helped start the vogue in the pioneering days of the automobile. At Ely, Nevada, they gave us copies of ancient maps of the state that went back to those days. They were literally criss cross ed with motor trails, that even in 1913 had become lost and covered by sage. 1t was the only way to get about, un- less you hoofed it or rode a horse. Where there were no towns or hotels you had to camp. They did it, and worked out many stunts now univer-

mindful of the tremendous response
bilities | invite. To intelligently
| fairly, and in dignified manner truly
reflect and represent the aspirations
of the people of this state in the high
est and most important legislative
body of the world, requires know
ledge of craftsmanship, a degree of
honesty, energy and loyalty that few
may hope to possess.

crat. Therefore my candidacy for the
nomination to that exalted position
is and will be subject to the pleasure
of the adherents OF the Democratic
Party at the Primary Election to be
held August the 10Th of this year.
4 AS such a Democrat, and be-
lieying in the eternal justice and
feasibility of the international poll
cies OF Woodrow Wilson, | favor a
worldwide League of Nations rather
than a mere partial league or four
powered pact. | am in favor of the
Nation Immediately assuming its pro-
per world responsibilities and joining
with the other peoples of the earth
in an effort to bring about perman-
ent peace and industrial prosperity

tening post" in world affairs. 1t is
our duty to aid in the adjudications
OF international problems in a digni-
fled, vigorous and becoming manner
to the end that peace and content
ment may be vouchsafed to all the
peoples OF the world.
5. | favor such international fin
ancial reform as will equalize and
the rates of exchange among
the nations, so that our foreign COM
merce may again attain the magni-
tude had under our former Democrat
ic administration. This is the saliva
ton of the basic industries of the
United States of America, whose sur
plus, or export price, is based ON for
eign demand.
.. | favor rigid economy in gov
eminent, national state, county and
the elimination of over
tapping bureaus and superfluous en-
ployes. | believe in a proper and eff
flcient budget system.
4 | am opposed TO any immediate
change or tinkering with our tariff
laws until world conditions are more
permanently stabilized and a more
inteiilgent idea of what is required

natlon from partisan politics of all
purely economic problems, and |

forcement through nom partisan
commission composed of experts. AT |
