THE DARLING BOMBER.

Watch this bird. The Barring
bomber, the largest airplane in the
world, is about completed, after sew
eral months work at the army air
service depot, Wilbur Wright Field,
Dayton, Ohio. The Darling bomber is
a triplane, or more accurately speak
ing, a 215-planer. The wing spread
from tip to tip is 100 feet, height %
feet, and overall length 65 feet. The
gasoline capacity is six tons, or 1000
gallons. The oil capacity is 1856
pounds, or 181 gallons. Six Liberty
motors are required to power the
plane, and the minimum crew neces-
sary to operate it will consist of four
men. Specifications require that not
more than 5000 pounds of bombs
shall be carried at one time, but were
anything so large as a 10,000-pound
bomb developed, the Darling could lift
and carry it for two hours. The
weight of the airplane loaded will be
&c tons, and the specifications call
for a flying speed of not less than 80
miles an hour. The Darling is the
Leviathan of the air, and if the war
department. should put more than four
men in it for the trial flight the Dem
ocrats will probably rise up and call
IL another juket.

Johnson's showing throughout the
country was second to President
Harding. Still LaFollette with big
votes in Minnesota, Wisconsin and
Montana polled about 100 more than
did Johnson, putting him in sixth
place.
The vote cast for former President
Wilson was more in the nature of a
compliment, inasmuch as he will not
be a candidate. The early vote showed
a Wilson strength which gradually
disappeared as voters became inter-
ested.
Underwood votes came mostly from
the South, but showed a wider range
than merely a favOrite son sentiment.
Senator Borah's vote was fairly
well distributed, although his home
state vote of 1892 helped his climb
into ninth place.
The total of 1892 votes classified
as scattered votes show how favorite
sons were choices in the various
states. Haskell, of Oklahoma, ran
strongest of favorite sons with 852
| votes, although his state went to Ford
with a total of 24,O93. In New York,
Judge Daniel F. Cohalan, supreme
court justice of New York state, re-
| ceived a consistent favorite son vote.
So it was with Lowden, of Illinois;
Ralston, of Indiana; Edwards and Sill
ger, of New Jersey; Beveridge and
Marshall, of Indiana; also Taft, Per
shing, Brookhardt, Groesbeck, and
Carter Glass.
A comparison of the test vote with
that conducted by Golfers, The Ma
tional Weekly, shows only slight diff
ferences in city and rural voter SEN
timent. Golfers vote is represent
ative of the city and large town vote
The newspaper test is representative
of the smaller town and country
American choice.
Golfers vote showed Ford leading
Harding approximately 3 to 2. Nc

In general, the trail follows the
main loop road, touching the chief
points of interest visited by vehicle
travel, yet the trail is sufficiently
distant from the road at most points
to avoid contact, except at key points
of interest. Connecting with the
Howard Eaton trail is a network Of
branch trails reaching every section
of the park, including splendid scenic
regions not accessible by road, and
aggregating a total mileage of ap-
proximately 700. There are abundant
horses within or in close proximity
to the park to handle all travel that
may be developed, and every encour-
agement will be given to the use of
the trail by pedestrians.
The name of Howard Eaton al
ready is known throughout the west,
and he had a tremendous personal
acquaintance in the eastern part of
the country He was in a a
| sort of liason officer between the east
and west. Perhaps no single figure
did more to stimulate the acquaint-
anceship of fasteners with the wild
and romantic regions of the Rocky
mountains. During his lifetime Eat
on personally conducted o than
one hundred horseback or wagon
camping parties into different Sec
tions of the Rockies, from the Cana
dian line on the north to the Mexi-
can boundary on the south. To all OF
the thousands of persons who trav-
eled with him he endeared himself
by his friendly and fascinating west
ern hospitality 1t is recorded thai
even when parties which he conduct
ed into remote regions of New Mex
leo and Arizona suffered genuine
hardships they did not lose theil
friendship and admiration for him.
Besides his long service as guide
and horseman, Howard Eaton is cred
tied with being the first to establish
a dude ranch, located at his home a
Wolf, Wyo. This ranch, which mad
many eastern city folks happier an
healthier, and simultaneously mad
them comfortable, was the precurso
of other dude ranches which now ar
!, being established throughout the west
In his early life Howard Eaton wa
a neighbor of Theodore Roosevelt
down on the Little Missouri, and tn
friendship continued throughout thei
lives. Roosevelt is known greatly t
: have admired the horseman, an
doubtless at times envied him.
Eaton was a splendid rider. Lat
8 in his life he rode a beautiful roa
horse called Danger.

unique and ~diverting habits of man
ner and speech which mace him ex-
~ceedingly interesting as well as pop
ular among all who came in contact
with him.
Many of his expressions linger In
the current lingo of the west, as for
example his manner of inviting
strangers to his ranch, "Come over
to my ranch and I'll treat you in the
most hostile fashion" He was won't
to express his affection to anyone who
became endeared to him in some such
manner as Il love you harder than a
mule can kick"
AS his fame spread during later
years of his life, Eaton received thou
sands of invitations to visit friends in
the east, who regarded him as the
very prototype Of the picturesque wild
west. Some of these invitations were
accepted, and he even became known
in the great un-western hotels OF
Fifth avenue. But always his heart
was out in the Rockies. The trails
that he rode were always friendly
trails, and the honor now being con-
ferred upon him would doubtless in-
spire his deepest gratitude. Through
out his lifetime Eaton very frequently
visited Yellowstone Park, and it is
doubly appropriate that this park
should preserve his memory to pos
terity.

Votes Which Place Them in Favored Positions in
Race for 1924 Nominations

A grand total of 679,906 ballots
were cast in the nationwide presiden-
tial voting test which started June l.,
final returns of which were received
q few days ago.
Henry Ford was first. polling more
than a third of the entire vote. Ford
received 267,S74 votes to Harding's
140,7
The Ford and Harding votes COM
bined total approximately two-thirds
Of the entire vote cast, which indi-
Gates that the political issue in the
mind of individual voters today is
Ford VS.. Harding. What bearing, if
any. this sentiment will have on the
majority party conventions, the Dem
oc-ats in particular, may prove very
interesting.
However, political observers say
that Ford will have to run on an in
dependent or third party ticket if he
makes the race at all. The Repub-
licans are virtually committed to the
denomination of President Harding.
The Democratic leaders obviously dc
not want Ford. That is the situation
as the final vote shows Henry Ford
a virtual 2 to l choice of voters
throughout the country.
The biggest development in the
closing days of the voting was the
swing to Harding which followed his
trip and speeches across the country
on his way to Alaska. The presi-
dents assurance of the G. o. P. NOM
inatiOn gives him a strength not in
Dictated in this vote. With the party
organization back of him and Ford
rejected by the Democrats and maybe
on an Independent ticket, the official
race would likely show entirely diff
ferent figures for personal perusal.
Ford showed unusual strength in
all parts of the country. He carried
Florida, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania
Minnesota, South Dakota, Nebraska
South Carolina, North Carolina. Mis-
souri,, Michigan, Colorado, Arkansas
Idaho, Connecticut, Montana, Vir.
ginia, Kentucky, Mississippi, Ala.
bama. Indiana, Iowa, Texas, Georgia
North Dakota and Tennessee.
President Harding carried New
York, Maryland, Illinois. Ohio, Wis.
cousin, New Hampshire, Massachu-
sets, California and Maine. The
president led Ford by more than 5000
votes in New York, but both were lee
by Governor AL H. Smith (Dem.)
who pOlled 43,571 of his 1888 votes
there.
Al Smith, of New York, is in thirC
place, still the national strength O.
McAdoo shows that the race between
these two for the Democratic nom
ination is going to be a hot one. Nc
Adoo polled a consistent vote through
cut the country, and especially in tn
Democratic South. Smith votes wer
more scattered, his New York vOt
being his chief source of strength.
Tn the Republican ranks, too,
similar condition exists. Hiram

DEDICATION HOWARD
eaton TRAIL

From the great romantic wild west
of tradition, few names, and only a
few, loom large in the national imag-
nation. Crockett, Kit Carson, Cody,
and a few others, will not be forgot
ten. The name of another great
western character, Howard Eaton, is
assured of preservation as a result
Of the dedication to his memory of
the great Howard Eaton trail in Vel
lowstone National Park.
The formal dedication Of this trail
is to occur July 10. at a point near
Bunsen peak. Open air exercises will
be held in which many national fig
IRE will pay homage to the great
western rancher and horseman who
died April 5, 1922. simultaneously
there will be inaugurated the public
use of a trail which is an exceeding
ly important addition to the facilities
for the public enjoyment of Yellow
stone National Park.
The chief speaker at the dedication
will be Congressman Charles E Win
ter, of Wyoming. Others participat-
ing will De Charles Russell, the fam
GUS cowboy artist; Stephen T. Nather
director of the national park service,
and Horace M. Albright, superin-
tendent of the Yellowstone National
Park. Mary Roberts R~inehart, a
close personal friend of Howard
Eaton, has been invited to attend,
and Eaton's two brothers, Alien and
Willis, will also be present.
Howard Eaton was a Shriner and
an Elk, and both of these organiza-
tons will be represented by large
delegations from Livingston. Ar
other organization to participate is
the Brooklyn Teachers association.
The dedication of the new trail sys

stone National Park administration Il
make this park more and more a sym
Dol of the wild west Of story and ira
dition. It is felt that here in TIT
heart of the Rockies may well be pre-
served the memories Of the old west
ern days, and that to a degree the ole
life of camp and trail may again b.
lived as it was in the time of the pic
neers. The splendid 157-mile trai
will link not only the famous scent
regions of the park, but will lead ais
to many points of romantic and his
toric interest, such as the old home o
John Yancey, which might be forgot
ten if park travel were confined t
main line automobile roads.
The Howard Eaton trail will ais
of course offer splendid new route
for horseback and foot travel, whic
has inevitably been crowded from tn
